Kyomurz

Persian

Kyomarz or Gil-shah – First man

Paschal Beverly Randolph provides an account of Kyomarz (also spelled Kyomurz) in "Pre-Adamite Man" as part of his exploration of ancient Persian traditions.

‘Gil’ means ‘clay,’ ‘Shah’ means ‘king,’ ‘Kyomurz’ means ‘First Man.’ Thus we have the first king; earth-king; king of the earth, and Adam.

Etymology: The names "Gil-Shah" and "Kyomurz" are explained, with "Gil" meaning "clay" and "Shah" meaning "king," which Randolph interprets as denoting Kyomarz as the "First Man" or "earth-king."
