'''Mery Zamani''' is Angelina's '''maternal grandmother''' (her [[mother|mother's]] mother). She is an [[Iranian]] artist and poet (working under the pseudonym '''Mosarz''') who, like Angelina, was a [[child prodigy]].{{citation needed}} Mery's children include [[Sara Astar]] (Angelina's mother) and [[Michael Astar]] (Angelina's uncle and manager). It is not known {{unknown|whether she has any other children}}. Mery lived for a time in [[Japan]] (where Sara and Michael grew up) with Angelina's [[maternal grandfather]],{{unknown|reason=this particular wording is because it is not known whether they were married}} who has been described as Japanese.{{citation needed}}{{clarify|reason=was he of Japanese descent or just living in Japan?}}

== Mosarz ==

Mery has created art and poetry under the name Mosarz since at least {{du|2009-12-26}}, when she {{fbl|MeryZamaniArt/posts/pfbid0ttodGXVvzjBL5VJC8hA6SF38tFcj1rtqHvb77dyowHjemnAZ9istoP9G9VREcQqnl|posted to Facebook}} that a website was under construction at {{xl|domain=Mosarzart.com|linktext=Mosarzart.com}} (no website has existed there since at least 2020).{{unknown|reason=can anyone find an earlier instance of her using the name?}}

In {{ttp|@mosarzm|7502190879772298526|a post to TikTok}} on {{du|2025-05-08}}, Mery explained the name in a very poetic way, describing it as {{quote|born of the earth and of the stars}}, and saying, {{quote|When I drew my final breath and darkness embraced me, a light fron beyond existence gently and silently whispered a name into the ear of my soul: Mosarz.}}

She went on to say, {{quote|And now, as I look back, I realize this name has always been with me}}, and explained how the letters have the following meanings:
:{{quote|Mo stands for Michael and Michelle—two sacred presences, pillars of faith|close=}}
:{{quote|S stands for Sara—[…]|open=|close=}}<ref group="note">Portions of her post that are not necessary to understand her meaning have been excised. See the post at TikTok for the full quote.</ref>
:{{quote|A stands for Angelina, Amelie, Athena, Eris—children of light[…]|open=|close=}}
:{{quote|R stands for Raphael—the angel who said in silence|open=|close=}}
:{{quote|Z stands for Zamani—my father's name[…]|open=}}<!-- this multiline quote will be handled differently "soon" -->
[[Michael]] and [[Sara]] are her children; [[Michelle]] is Michael's partner, {{uncertain|likely his wife}}. [[Athena]] and [[Eris]] are Michelle's and Michael's children. Amelie 
{{uncertain|is likely another name of [[Juliette]]<!-- I can't find that original comment by Mery, though. Note, that then likely both Juliette and Angelina share the initals "AJ". [Most2dot0] -->}}<ref>Comments on this  {{fbl|/groups/angelinajordanfanclub/posts/1890432895103680| Facebook Fanclub post}}</ref>. It is unclear whether her allusion to {{w|Raphael (archangel)|the archangel Raphael}} is {{unknown|only that or also refers to a family member or other person}} in Mery's life.

Note that her use of the name Mosarz predates at least Athena and Eris, {{unknown|if not Angelina and some of the other people}} mentioned here.
