What does Avesta mean?

The collection of sacred Zoroastrian texts

In Turkish: Zerdüştlüğün kutsal metinler derlemesi

Avesta carries the title of an ancient body of scripture rather than the name of a single historical figure. These texts are written in Avestan and are important sources for the history of Iranian languages. The established textual reference should be distinguished from the title's uncertain original meaning.
