The Kassites were of Iranian descent, yet some scholars mistakenly considered them non-Iranian. The name šarazana is derived from shara cognate with the Proto-Indo-Aryan sare “Lord, Ruler”, and zana, which in Avestan meaning “race, lineage, descent”. Furthermore, the Avestan zan “to be born, to generate”, a term still used in Persian today, as human generations are born from women. Compare it with Sanskrit jan “to give birth”, connects with Baluchi jan “woman” in, Hindi jana “to give birth”, ancient Greek genos “to give birth”, ancient Persian dana “to give birth”, Laki and Kurdish zhan “woman”. Additionally, Elamite zana “woman” derives from the same root. Thus, šara-zana means “of noble descent” or “whose descent is nobilty, nobleman”.
