Vāyu-Vāta (or Vāta-Vāyu; Avestan: 𐬬𐬀𐬌𐬌𐬎-𐬬𐬁𐬙𐬀, romanized: Vāyu-Vāta, lit. 'air, wind, atmosphere', Avestan pronunciation: [ʋɑːju-ʋɑːt̪ə]) is the Avestan name of a dual-natured Zoroastrian deity of the wind (Vāyu) and of the atmosphere (Vāta). The names are also used independently of one another, with 'Vāyu' occurring more frequently than 'Vāta', but even when used independently still representing the other aspect.
