From the name of an ancient Iranian festival celebrating the winter solstice (held on either December 20 or 21), during which family and friends come together to eat, drink and read poetry. The name itself is ultimately derived from Syriac ܝܠܕܐ (yaldā) meaning "birth, nativity", most likely originally referring to Christmas (as in the birth of Christ).
