Ormazd is Iranian, Persian in Origin.
Ormazd is the Anglicized form of Middle Persian Ohrmazd, from Avestan Ahura Mazdā - literally “wise lord” (ahura “lord” + mazda “wisdom”). It is the name of the Zoroastrian supreme deity, embodying light and truth, and passed into Persian and neighboring tongues through centuries of worship. Variants include Ahura Mazda, Ohrmazd, Hormazd, Hormizd, Hormuzd, Ormizd, Ormuzd, and Hormuz (also seen in the place-name Hormuz).
As a given name it appears sporadically: several Sasanian kings bore the form Hormizd, and Syriac/Assyrian tradition preserves Mar (Rabban) Hormizd. Today Ormazd and its cognates are rare but occur among Iranian and Parsi/Zoroastrian families and some Assyrians. The name conveys ideals of wisdom, creative power, and moral clarity; in non-theophoric use it can be interpreted simply as “wise lord.”
