The Meaning Of The Name Of The Founder Of Zoroastrianism

The founder of the Zoroastrian religion is known as Zoroaster and also the variant form Zarathustra. What did his name mean?

In Avestan, Zaraϑuštra is generally accepted to derive from an Old Iranian *Zaratuštra-; The element half of the name (-uštra-) is thought to be the Indo-Iranian root for "camel", with the entire name meaning "he who can manage camels".

Not terribly profound, but suggestive of Central Asian affinities, just like the Indo-Iranian people of whom he was a part.
