What is the significance of the name "Zarathustra" in Zoroastrianism?

Zarathustra, also called Zoroaster, was a Persian priest who became a prophet and started a new religion called Zoroastrianism. He had a special vision from a powerful god named Ahura Mazda, who told him to teach people that there is only one true god and not many gods. This idea influenced other religions that came later.

What rituals or ceremonies are associated with naming a Zoroastrianism baby boy?

Zoroastrians do not have a formal naming ceremony. Instead, they usually select names from ancient texts like the Avesta or famous figures in Persian history. They may also choose names of family members who possess qualities they wish the child to embody (1).

Is Parsi and Zoroastrian same?

Many people use the words Parsi and Zoroastrian interchangeably, but there is a difference. All Parsis are Zoroastrians, but not all Zoroastrians are Parsis. Some Zoroastrians are known as Irani Zoroastrians or Iranis (2). Hence, a slight difference can be noted in both the names.
