  From  Webster's  Revised  Unabridged  Dictionary  (1913)  [web1913]: 
 
  Ormazd  \Or"mazd\or  Ahura-Mazda  \A`hu*ra-Maz"da\,  n.  [Zend 
  Ahuramazda.]  (Zoroastrianism) 
  The  supreme  deity,  the  principle  of  good,  creator  of  the 
  world,  and  guardian  of  mankind.  He  is  the  opponent  of 
  Ahriman,  the  spirit  of  evil,  both  being  sprung  from  Eternity, 
  or  according  to  another  version,  Ahriman  being  the  offspring 
  of  a  moment  of  doubt  on  the  part  of  Ormazd.  Ormazd  is 
  attended  by  angels  and  archangels.  He  is  represented  as  a 
  bearded  man  inclosed  in  a  winged  circle,  a  conception 
  probably  derived  from  the  Assyrian  representations  of  Ashur. 
 
  From  WordNet  r  1.6  [wn]: 
 
  Ormazd 
  n  :  chief  deity  of  Zoroastrianism;  source  of  light  and 
  embodiment  of  good  [syn:  {Ormazd},  {Ormuzd},  {Ahura  Mazda}]
