Author Ottessa Moshfegh is one of the few to bear her name — a rare variation of the ancient name Atossa, rather than Odessa (as many think).

Atossa had a bleeding tumor removed from her breast in the first documented case of mastitis.
 
Moshfegh's mother is Croatian and her father has Persian Jewish ancestry. She has a dog name Jewelry.
