In Zoroastrianism, a supreme divine being or spirit; specifically referring to Ahura Mazda, the highest god in the Zoroastrian faith.
From Avestan 'ahura' meaning 'lord' or 'wise one,' directly from the ancient Persian religion. The full title 'Ahura Mazda' combines 'ahura' (lord) with 'mazda' (wise).
Ahura Mazda is one of the oldest conceptions of a single all-powerful god in human religion—Zoroastrianism influenced Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, so this 'ahura' concept shaped billions of people's ideas about God.
