Why this word is great
MAZDA — [Name] The supreme deity of wisdom and creation in Zoroastrianism, and the eponym of a Japanese automobile manufacturer. Its etymology is a transliteration of Avestan 𐬨𐬀𐬰𐬛𐬁 (mazdā, “wisdom”), reflecting Proto-Iranian *mazdáH, an ancient distillation of luminous intellect. Unlike "Ahura" (which names the divine "Lord" or principle of being) or "Toyota" (a corporate surname rooted in terrestrial commerce), "Mazda" is an aspiration toward enlightened reason. It is the first light imagined at dawn by a Persian priest, the quiet hum of precision engineering on a rain-slicked highway, and the peculiar modern faith that a machine can be both perfectly reliable and subtly soulful—a borrowed divinity now measured in horsepower and headlamp beams, a faint, almost forgotten aura of light.
