*Asman* is the Avestan <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avestan_language>
and Middle Persian <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Middle_Persian> name
of the Zoroastrian <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrianism>
divinity that is the hypostasis of the sky. Asman is the "highest
heaven," and is distinguished from the firmament (/thwasha/), which lies
nearer the earth. The 27th day of the Zoroastrian calendar
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoroastrian_calendar> is dedicated to him.

In the Avesta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avesta>, specifically in
the Vendidad <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vendidad>, the word is
mentioned as being the first thing created. The word is also the
origination of the word /asman/ in modern Persian
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language> and Pashto
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pashto_language>.^[1]
