The name has been equated with the Persian name Omanes[4] (Old Persian: 𐎡𐎶𐎴𐎡𐏁, Imāniš) recorded by Greek historians. Several etymologies have been proposed for it: it has been associated with the Persian word Hamayun, meaning "illustrious"[4] (naming dictionaries typically list it as meaning "magnificent"); with the sacred drink Haoma;[4] or with the Persian name Vohuman, meaning "good thoughts". The 19th-century Bible critic Jensen associated it with the Elamite god Humban, a view dismissed by later scholars.[5] Ahriman, a Zoroastrian spirit of destruction, has also been proposed as an etymon.[citation needed] Hoschander suggests that Haman is a priestly title and not a proper name.[6]
