Feridun Koç
Freydun (; from the Avestan language, Avestan ''Θraētaona''), is an Iranian masculine given name. Common variations include the names Freidun, Feridun, Faridun, Faredoon, Fereydoon, Ferydoon, Faridoon, Ferydoun, Fereydoun and Fereydun. Etymology All of the forms of the name shown above derive, by regular sound laws, from Proto-Iranian ''Thraetaona'' (Θraētaona) and Proto-Indo-Iranian ''Traitaunas''. Traitaunas is a derivative (with augmentative suffix -una/-auna) of ''Tritas'', the name of a deity or hero reflected in the Vedic ''Trita'' and the Avestan ''Thrita'' (Θrita). Both names are identical to the adjective meaning "the third", a term used of a minor deity associated with two other deities to form a triad. In the Indian Vedas, Trita is associated with gods of thunder and wind. Trita is also called ''Aptya'' (Āptya), a name that is probably cognate with ''Abtin, Athwiya'' (Āθβiya), the name of father of Thraetaona in the Avesta, Avestā. Traitaunas may therefore be i ...

Avestan Language
Avestan ( ) is the liturgical language of Zoroastrianism. It belongs to the Iranian branch of the Indo-European language family and was originally spoken during the Old Iranian period ( – 400 BCE) by the Iranians living in the eastern portion of Greater Iran. After Avestan became extinct, its religious texts were first transmitted orally until being collected and put into writing during the Sasanian period ( – 500 CE). The extant material falls into two groups: Old Avestan ( – 900 BCE) and Younger Avestan ( – 400 BCE). The immediate ancestor of Old Avestan was the Proto-Iranian language, a sister language to the Proto-Indo-Aryan language, with both having developed from the earlier Proto-Indo-Iranian language. As such, Old Avestan is quite close in both grammar and lexicon to Vedic Sanskrit, the oldest preserved Indo-Aryan language. Name The Avestan texts consistently use the term Arya, i.e., Iranian, for the speakers of Avestan. The same term also app ...
