Comments :

Anahita is the avestable name of a Zoroastrian Iranian deity of water and at the same time fertility and the deification of the "cosmic ocean" feeding "world river". In the liturgy of the Avestas her full name is "Ardvi Sura Anahita". The word "Ardvi" does not appear in the Avestic otherwise and must be interpreted accordingly as a proper name. Etymologically reconstructed it could mean something like "damp". On the other hand, "sura" is "mighty" or "heroic" and " anahita " an-ahita - "not soiled," "undefiled" or "not unclean" are common adjectives and, as such, also appear in conjunction with other yazatas. In the tradition it appears accordingly as "Ardwisur Anahid", "Ardwisur Nahid", only "Ardwisur" or as "(A) Nahid". The latter also remains the general New Persian form and is a female given name. - Carey Mills
