-'''Abtin''' ({{Lang-fa|آبتین}}) is a character in [[Shahnama]] (national epic of [[Persia]]), who is the father of [[Fereydun]]. His name translated in English means, "The one with good thoughts, good words and good deeds". These three traits are very important characteristics in [[Zoroastrianism]]. Unlike how it is spelt, the pronunciation of the name is not "Abtin" but it is rather "Aub-teen".
