Zoroastrians worshiped a supreme God called Ahura Mazda (the Wise Lord) though a number of divine entities later suppressed as "angels" were also worshiped. The names of these divinities still exist in the Iranian calendar and in countries where the Iranian calendar is in use. Months such as Bahman, Ordibehesht, Khordad, Tir, Aban, Azar, Esfand etc...reflect these divinites (Vohu Manu, Arta Vahishta, Haurvatat, Ameratat, Tishtrya, Apam Napat, Atar, Spenta Armaiti). In addition, there are many place names such as cities, valleys, rivers and townships that still preserve these ancient names. Herat in Afghanistan for instance, derives from Haurvatat, the divinity of perfection. The straight of Hormuz in Iran reflects Hormazd or Ahura Mazda. Azarbaijan province and the country of the same name reflect Atar or Azar, the divinity or spirit of fire. Yazd reflects Yazdan, or God. Bahramabad in Kerman province recalls Bahram, or Avestan Verethragna the deivinity of victory. Farah in Afghanistan recalls Farah or Avestan Khvarana or "fortune".

What are the followers of Zoroastrianism called today?
The general term would be "Zoroastrians." In India and Pakistan they may be called Iranis and Parsis which are the names of the major Zoroastrian ethnic groups there. An old term is Gabrs that today has a pejorative meaning used for all non Muslims but in earlier history had not any derogative connotation.
