Hutaosa is an Avestan name, cognate with the Old Persian name *Utautha, which is also seen in the name Atossa. The name is historically significant as it was borne by the wife of Vishtaspa, a key follower of Zarathustra (Zoroaster), the founder of Zoroastrianism. This name reflects the cultural and religious importance of the period and the role of women in ancient Persian society.
