- ^ Daryā (دريا) (Old Persian: Drayah, Middle Persian: Drayā, Sanskrit: Jrayaḥ) [1] is the Persian word for Sea, or Ocean (similar to the sea), and Dādvar (دادور), a combination of Dād (داد), Justice, and var (ور), a suffix indicative of one's profession or vocation, for Jurist or Chief Justice (in general, someone whose main business is judicial administration of law and equity). For comparison, Dāneshvar, a combination of Dānesh, Knowledge, Science, and var, is the Persian word for Scientist. The word Dādvar is archaic, if not obsolete, and it is conceivable that the contemporary word Dāvar (داور), Arbiter, Arbitrator, Judge, or sports referee may be Dādvar itself, abbreviated through its frequent use over perhaps millennia, or is a direct descendant of it. The "v" in Dādvar should be pronounced as "w" and the "a" as "aa".
