Advieh (, spice; from , of , remedy, medicine, medication, drug) is the Persian word for spice, and may refer to any individual seasoning. However, in everyday Iranian culinary usage, advieh commonly refers to a specific blend of ground spices used to flavor traditional dishes. This usage is an abbreviated form of more specific terms such as advieh-e polo (spice mix for rice), advieh-e khoresh (for stews), or advieh-e ash (for herb-based soups).

Persianization () or Persification (; ), is a sociological process of cultural change in which a non-Persian society becomes "Persianate", meaning it either directly adopts or becomes strongly influenced by the Persian language, culture, literature, art, music, and identity as well as other socio-cultural factors. It is a specific form of cultural assimilation that often includes a language shift. The term applies not only to cultures, but also to individuals, as they acclimate to Persian culture and become "Persianized" or "Persified".

This day is dedicated to Spənta Ārmaiti (Avestan for "Holy Devotion", ' in Middle Persian, ' or ''''), the Amesha Spenta who is given the domain of "earth". The date of the festival as observed in the Sassanid era was on the 5th day of the month Spandarmad. When the name of the day and the month of the day were the same, a "name-feast" celebration was always done.
