Hormizd

Hormizd is a Persian given name used from late antiquity to the present. It is associated with the Sasanian royal line and has survived in modern Persian as a personal name and in various transliterations, such as Hormozd, Hormouz, and Hormizd.

In the Sasanian Empire, several kings bore the name Hormizd: Hormizd I (late 3rd century), Hormizd II (early 4th century), Hormizd III (mid-5th century), and Hormizd IV (late 6th century). The recurrence of the name reflects its dynastic prestige.

Today, Hormizd remains a common given name in Iran and among Persian-speaking communities; variants include Hormozd and Hormouz. The name's continued use illustrates the cultural continuity from ancient Iran to the modern era.
