Zand

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Zand may refer to:

  • Zand tribe
  • the Iranian Zand dynasty (1773-1794)
  • Kayvon Zand - Singer, actor, model
  • Zand, Netherlands (zand in Dutch means sand and appears in various geographical names)

or to these (near-)homophones:

  • Zend-Avesta or Zand-Avesta: the commentaries ("Zend", or "Zand") on primary sacred texts of Zoroastrianism (see Avesta).
  • Zend or Zand language: misnomer resultant from a confusion of the commentaries with the Avesta proper (see Avestan language).
