Mah

Mångha (Avestan: 𐬨𐬂𐬢𐬵𐬀måŋha) is the Avestan for "Moon, month", equivalent to PersianMāh (ماه‎; Old Persian𐎶𐎠𐏃 ). It is the name of the lunar deity in Zoroastrianism. The Iranian word is masculine. Although Mah is not a prominent deity in the Avestan scripture, his crescent was an important symbol of royalty throughout the Parthian and Sassanid periods.

The Iranian word is cognate with the English moon, from PIE
