Etymology[edit]

From earlier خدای (xudāy), from Middle Persian [script needed] (hwtʾy /⁠xwadāy⁠/, lord) (Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫑𐫇𐫅𐫀𐫏 (xwadāy)), with both religious and secular connotations. Rendered in Book Pahlavi as the ideogram [script needed] (MRA) (Aramaic 𐡌𐡍𐡀 (mnʾ /⁠mara⁠/), also meaning "lord"), ultimately from Proto-Iranian *hwatā́wā (lord, god).

Cognates with Avestan 𐬓𐬀𐬜𐬀𐬙𐬀 (xᵛaδata, self-determined) (in the sense of "not dependent on anything/anyone"), Bactrian χοαδηο (xoadēo, lord), Northern Kurdish xwedê and Central Kurdish خوا (xwa), Sanskrit स्वधा (svádhā). Also related to خود (xod, self), خدیو (xadiv, lord, master), خاتون (xâtun, lady, noblewoman).
