Kiumars is Persian in Origin.
Kiumars is a Persian masculine name rooted in Avestan and Middle Persian mythology. It derives from Avestan Gaya marətan (Gayōmard/Gayōmarth), literally “mortal life” or “the living mortal,” the figure revered in Zoroastrian cosmology as the first human. In Ferdowsi’s Shahnameh, the New Persian Keyumars (Kayumars) appears as the first world-king and founder of the Pishdadian dynasty, a culture-hero who teaches early humans to wear skins and seek shelter.
As a given name, Kiumars has been used in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities from medieval times through the modern era, with modest but steady popularity in the 20th century. Common variants and transliterations include Keyumars, Kayumars, Kiomars, Keyomars, and Keiomars; related learned forms are Gayomard and Gayōmarth. Regional spellings occur in Arabic and Urdu contexts. The name’s enduring appeal lies in its dignified mytho-historical resonance and the life-affirming meaning “mortal life/first man.”
