ORIGIN AND HISTORY

The name Bahman comes from the Persian "Farsi" language which became the Iran "Persia" country.

Vohu Manah is the Avestan language term for a Zoroastrian concept, frequently translated as "Good Purpose" or "Good Mind", but more literally, the good moral state of mind that enables an individual to accomplish his duties. Its Middle Persian equivalent, as attested in the Pahlavi script texts of Zoroastrian tradition, is Wahman, which is a borrowing of the Avestan language expression and has the same meaning, and which continues in New Persian as Bahman and variants.

In the Zoroastrian religious calendar, the 2nd day of the month and the 11th month of the year are dedicated to Bahman/Vohu Manah, and hence named after the concept/entity. In the Jalali Calendar, which inherits its month names from the Zoroastrian calendar, the 11th month is likewise named Bahman.
