Bahman ( Persian: بهمن, Persian pronunciation: [bæhˈmæn] [1]) is the eleventh and penultimate month of the Solar Hijri calendar, the official calendar of Iran and Afghanistan. [1] Bahman has thirty days. [1] It begins in January and ends in February of the Gregorian calendar.[ citation needed] The month is equivalent to Aquarius in the Zodiac.
Bahman is the second month of winter, and is followed by Esfand. [1]
In modern Persian "Bahman" literally means "Snow Avalanche". But Bahman is also thought to be a derivative modern form of Vohu Manah. Vôhü Manö consists of two parts: VÔHÜ coming from the root vah, from Proto-Indo-European *ves 'to revere, stand in awe of', and MAN meaning 'passion, determination, spirit, mind power'. Vohu Manah is also a concept in Zoroastrianism meaning "pure mind/spirit" or "absolute consciousness". [2]
