Hormizd is Iranian in Origin.
Hormizd is an Iranian masculine name preserved in Middle Persian as Hormizd or Ohrmazd, the Sasanian form of the divine name earlier attested in Avestan as Ahura Mazdā and in Old Persian royal inscriptions as Auramazdā. Its elements are ahura, lord or divine ruler, and mazdā, wise, wisdom-bearing, so the literal sense is wise lord or lord of wisdom.
The name was especially visible in Sasanian Iran, borne by several kings and princes, and it entered Greek and Latin records as Hormisdas or Ormisdas. Christian use followed Persian saints such as Hormizd the Martyr and Rabban Hormizd, while Parsi communities in India kept forms including Hormazd, Hormasji, and Hormusji. Modern use is uncommon and most recognizable in Iranian, Assyrian, and Zoroastrian contexts.
