Gayō Marətan, in later Zoroastrian texts Gayōmard or Gayōmart, is the Avestan name of the mythological first Man. The name in Middle Persian is Kayōmart, Modern Persian Keyumars کیومرث. In Ferdowsi's Shahnameh he appears as the first shāh of the world. He is also called the پيشداد, thus the first man who practiced justice, the lawgiver. The Avestan name translates to "mortal life", from gaya "life" and marətan "mortal" (or "human"; cf. Persian mard مرد "man"). The name literally means "The mortal alive being". Keyumars is also a popular first name in contemporary Iran.
