Hushang, Hooshang, Hoshang or Houshang ( Persian: هوشنگ), is a Persian male given name popular in Iran.
The Avestan equivalent of Hushang is Haošyaŋha. Older sources interpreted the second part of the name as -šyaŋh, composed of ši- 'dwelling' and -aŋh 'giving rise to', thus meaning 'he who produces good dwellings' or 'promoter of culture and sedentary living'. According to another interpretation, the second part of the name is -šiiah- a variant of čiia- 'selecting, deciding', giving the whole name *hu-šiiah- the meaning 'good (religious) choice'. [1]
