Jamshid
Jamshid () (, "Jamshīd") (Middle- and New Persian: جم, "Jam") (Avestan: 𐬫𐬌𐬨𐬀 "Yima") (Dari/Pashto: یما "Yama") is the fourth Shah of the mythological Pishdadian dynasty of Iran according to "Shahnameh".

In Persian mythology and folklore, Jamshid is described as the fourth and greatest king of the epigraphically unattested Pishdadian Dynasty (before the Kayanian dynasty). This role is already alluded to in Zoroastrian scripture (e.g. "Yasht" 19, "Vendidad" 2), where the figure appears as Yima(-Kshaeta) "(radiant) Yima" () and from which the name 'Jamshid' is derived.

"Jamshid" remains a common Iranian and Zoroastrian male name that is also popular in surrounding areas of Iran. Edward FitzGerald transliterated the name as "Jamshyd". In the eastern regions of Greater Iran, Central Asia, and by the Zoroastrians of the Indian subcontinent it is rendered as "Jamshed".
