Mani (în persană Māni și în siriacă Mānī sau ܡܐܢܝ ܚܝܐ Mānī ḥayyā, în greacă Μάνης sau Μανιχαίος, în latină Manes sau Manichaeus, c. 216–274 e.n.) a fost un profet de origine iraniană, fondator al maniheismului.[4][5][6][7][1]

He was Iranian, of noble Parthian blood...
Manichaeism was a syncretic religion, proclaimed by the Iranian Prophet Mani.
According to the Fehrest, Mani was of Arsacid stock on both his father’s and his mother’s sides, at least if the readings al-ḥaskāniya (Mani’s father) and al-asʿāniya (Mani’s mother) are corrected to al-aškāniya and al-ašḡāniya (ed. Flügel, 1862, p. 49, ll. 2 and 3) respectively. The forefathers of Mani’s father are said to have been from Hamadan and so perhaps of Iranian origin (ed. Flügel, 1862, p. 49, 5–6). The Chinese Compendium, which makes the father a local king, maintains that his mother was from the house Jinsajian, explained by Henning as the Armenian Arsacid family of Kamsarakan (Henning, 1943, p. 52, n. 4 = 1977, II, p. 115). Is that fact, or fiction, or both? The historicity of this tradition is assumed by most, but the possibility that Mani’s noble Arsacid background is legendary cannot be ruled out (cf. Scheftelowitz, 1933, pp. 403–4). In any case, it is characteristic that Mani took pride in his origin from time-honored Babel, but never claimed affiliation to the Iranian upper class.
We are now certain that Mani was of Iranian stock on both his father's and his mother's side.
