''Mitra'' ( Proto-Indo-Iranian: ''*mitrás'') is the name of an Indo-Iranian divinity from which the names and some characteristics of Rigvedic Mitrá and Avestan Mithra derive. The names (and occasionally also some characteristics) of these two older figures were subsequently also adopted for other figures: * A vrddhi-derived form of Sanskrit ''mitra'' gives Maitreya, the name of a bodhisattva in Buddhist tradition. * In Hellenistic-era Asia Minor, Avestan Mithra was conflated with various local and Greek figures leading to several different variants of Apollo- Helios-Mithras-Hermes- Stilbon. * Via Greek and some Anatolian intermediate, the Avestan theonym also gave rise to Latin ''Mithras'', the principal figure of the first century Roman Mysteries of Mithras (also known as 'Mithraism'). * In Middle Iranian, the Avestan theonym evolved (among other Middle Iranian forms) into Sogdian ''Miši'', Middle Persian and Parthian ''Mihr'', and Bactrian Miuro (/mihru/).
