Hooman

Hooman (هومن) is a Persian male name which means 'benevolent and good natured'.

Hooman is synonymous to Vahooman (وهومن) and Bahman (بهمن). It is featured on the Faravahar of the Zoroastrian faith. The three "Hu's" are represented by the three sections of the wings of the Faravahar. It consists of the word "Hu" which is a combination of Humata, modern-day Pendar-e or Andeesh-e Nik (Good Thoughts); Hukhta, modern-day Goftār-e Nik (Good Words), and Huvarshta, modern-day Kerdār-e Nik (Good Deeds), and the Persian word "Man", which means 'Me' or 'I' in Persian. The name literally translates to "I have good thoughts, good deeds, and good words". Non-Persian languages do not have their own version of the name such as "men" in Mazandarani or "Mu/Mi" in Eastern Gilaki, but the pronunciation may differ slightly during speech such as "men" in Mazandarani or "mən" in Gilaki instead of the Persian pronunciation "mæn". It is the antonym of "Doshman" (دشمن), which means 'malevolent, enemy, or fetes'.

Hooman is not to be confused with the name Houmān (هومان), as in Ferdowsi's story of Rostam and Sohrab in the Shahnameh.

Upon reflection, it appears that the Ethos and Energy of what it means to be Hooman is making a come back in these challenging times.

Many souls on Earth clearly identify with the Good Thoughts, Good Words, Good Deeds energy, much in the same way Christians feel the energy of Christ Consciousness and God from within.
