Mazdack is Iranian, Persian in Origin.

Mazdack is an Anglicized variant of Persian Mazdak (مزدک), a Middle Persian masculine name rooted in the Avestan element mazda- “wisdom; Ahura Mazda,” combined with the diminutive/affectionate suffix -ak. It conveys senses such as “devotee of Ahura Mazda,” “little Mazda,” or more broadly “the wise one,” reflecting Zoroastrian concepts of divine wisdom.

The name is best known from Mazdak, the 5th–6th-century religious and social reformer in Sasanian Iran associated with King Kavād I; his movement’s notoriety helped the name persist in Persian historical memory. In modern times it remains uncommon but recognizable in Iran and the diaspora. The spelling Mazdack appears chiefly in English-language contexts, notably borne by Iranian-American entrepreneur Mazdack Rassi. Core variants include Mazdak (standard Persian), scholarly Mazdāk, and the related theonymic Mazda; diminutive or hypocoristic forms may occur locally. Overall, Mazdack offers a culturally resonant rarity with a meaning centered on wisdom.
