Jamshid is a Persian or an Iranian. Jamshid (dʒæmˈʃi d) (Persian: جمشید, Jamshīd) (Middle- and New Persian: جم, Jam) (Avestan: 𐬫𐬌𐬨𐬀 Yima) (Dari/Pashto: یما Yama) is the fourth Shah of the mythological Pishdadian dynasty of Iran according to Shahnameh.
In Persian mythology and folklore, Jamshid is described as the fourth and greatest king of the epigraphically unattested Pishdadian Dynasty (before the Kayanian dynasty). This role is already alluded to in Zoroastrian scripture (e.g. Yasht 19, Vendidad 2), where the figure appears as Yima(-Kshaeta) "(radiant) Yima" (Avestan: 𐬫𐬌𐬨𐬀 𐬑𐬱𐬀𐬉𐬙𐬀, romanized: Yima xšaēta) and from which the name 'Jamshid' is derived.
Jamshid remains a common Iranian and Zoroastrian male name that is also popular in surrounding areas of Iran. Edward FitzGerald transliterated the name as Jamshyd. In the eastern regions of Greater Iran, Central Asia, and by the Zoroastrians of the Indian subcontinent it is rendered as Jamshed.
