Hooman Bagheri
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 begins in January and ends in February of the Gregorian calendar. The month is equivalent to Aquarius in the Zodiac. Bahman is the second month of winter, and is followed by Esfand.

Faravahar
The Faravahar ( fa, فروهر), also known as the Foruhar () or the Farre Kiyâni ( fa, فر کیانی, label=none), is one of the best-known symbols of Zoroastrianism, an Iranian religion. There are various interpretations of what the Faravahar symbolizes, and there is no concrete universal consensus on its meaning.

Despite its traditionally religious nature, it has become a secular and cultural symbol for Iranians.

Zoroastrian
Zoroastrianism is an Iranian religion and one of the world's oldest organized faiths, based on the teachings of the Iranian-speaking prophet Zoroaster. It has a dualistic cosmology of good and evil within the framework of a monotheistic ontology and an eschatology which predicts the ultimate conquest of evil by good. Zoroastrianism exalts an uncreated and benevolent deity of wisdom known as '' Ahura Mazda'' () as its supreme being. Historically, the unique features of Zoroastrianism, such as its monotheism, messianism, belief in free will and judgement after death, conception of heaven, hell, angels, and demons, among other concepts, may have influenced other religious and philosophical systems, including the Abrahamic religions and Gnosticism, Northern Buddhism, and Greek philosophy. With possible roots dating back to the 2nd millennium BCE, Zoroastrianism enters recorded history around the middle of the 6th century BCE. It served as the state religion of the ancient I ...
