یلدا
یلدا فارسی نام ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'سردیوں کا طویل ترین رات' ہے۔ یہ سریانی لفظ 'یلدا' سے ماخوذ ہے جس کا مطلب ہے 'پیدائش'، جو اس قدیم عقیدے کی عکاسی کرتا ہے کہ سردیوں کا طویل ترین رات سورج کی دوبارہ پیدائش اور روشنی کی تاریکی پر فتح کی علامت ہے۔
يَلْدَا
يلدا اسم فارسي يعني 'الانقلاب الشتوي' أو 'أطول ليلة في السنة'. مشتق من الكلمة السريانية 'يلدا' التي تعني 'الميلاد'، مما يعكس الاعتقاد القديم بأن الانقلاب الشتوي يمثل ولادة الشمس من جديد وانتصار النور على الظلام.
