Zihrun (Classical Mandaic: ࡆࡉࡄࡓࡅࡍ, lit. 'he [the Life] warned me'; sometimes also spelled Zahrun or Zahroon), is an uthra (angel or guardian) in the World of Light.[1] He is the main subject of the Mandaean scroll Zihrun Raza Kasia.[2]
The uthra Zhir (meaning 'secured') is often mentioned as part of a pair with Zihrun.[1]
Zihrun is also a Mandaean male given name. Well-known historical Mandaean priests named Zihrun include the 19th-century priest Ram Zihrun.
