Uastyrdzhi (, ) is the name of Saint George in Ossetian folklore. Uastyrdzhi is the patron of the male sex and travellers as well as being a guarantor of oaths, like his Iranian counterpart Mithra (among others such as Verethragna and Fereydun) with whom he shares a common origin. It is forbidden for women to pronounce his name; instead, they must refer to him as lӕgty dzuar (literally, "the saint of men").
