==Name== The name Jamaspa is widely considered to be a contraction of tetrasyllabic jāma-aspa, an Avestan compound term, where the second word means aspa, i.e. horse. This term is also found in the names of people like Vishtaspa, Arjaspa and Lohraspa. Since they all originate from the same story, it has been interpreted as an important element in their culture. However, the meaning of the first term is unclear. One interpretation connects jāma- to Vedic kṣāmáh-, with the meaning burnt, singed. On the other hand, Gershevitch proposed leading horses, whereas Schwartz has argued for he who bridles horses.
