Literally, “the gate or the valley of the giants” from مازن(mâzan) + در(dar) + ـان(-ân), from Avestan𐬨𐬀𐬰𐬀𐬌𐬥𐬌𐬌𐬀(mazainiia, “giant”). The name has been used in Shahnameh to refer to a land inhabited by divs (daevas) and sorcerers and is difficult to conquer. On the other hand, after Muslim invasion of Persia, the region of Tabaristan remained unconquered for a relatively long period of time, which was later called (and mistaken for) Mazandaran.
