I've always seen it spelled "Mithra" or "Mithras".

Mithras may or may not be Mithra. Mithra is Zoarestarian. Mithras appeared in the Roman empire in the first centuries AD. He might be based on Mithra...but it's not really known as far as I know.

You can take Christ out of Christmas. Then it would be mas.

But that might confuse people...

It's okay to steal from Greek theology, since they hijacked a few things from the Egyptians.

The Eqyptians never get credit for starting civilization so why start now.
