Armaiti (Armaita, Aramaiti) is one of the seven Immortal Holy Ones, the attendants of Ahura Mazda or Orhmazd. Her name, according to Sayana, means “the Earth,” and it may originally have been Ara Mater, “Mother Earth,” making her an early mother goddess before absorption into the Zoroastrian religion. She acts not only as a genius of the earth, but spirit of piety, truth, wisdom, goodness, and modesty, and is identified as the daughter of Ahura Mazda.
