Zoroaster / Zarathushtra
The name Zoroaster is a Western / English version of the original name Zarathushtra - sometimes spelt Zarathustra as in Friedrich Nietzsche's, Also sprach Zarathustra: Ein Buch für Alle und Keinenin known to English speakers as Thus Spake Zarathustra.

Zarathushtra / Zarathustra (Zaraϑuštra) was the founder of the Zoroastrian (Zarathushtrian) religion. The Western / English version of the name Zoroaster is derived from the Greek version Ζωροάστρης, transcribed in English with diacritics as Zōroastrēs. This version of the name is found in the 5th century BCE Hellenic works of Xanthus of Lydia's (mid 5th Cent. BCE) Lydiaca (Fragment 32) and in Plato's (429–347 BCE) First Alcibiades (122a1 - See our post, Alcibiades, Plato and Some Amazing Insights. The Greek form Zōroastrēs is found in Latin texts as Zōroastrēs and, in later Greek texts as Zōroastris. (Also see our blog, Greek Perceptions of Zoroaster, Zoroastrianism & the Magi.)

Zarathushtrian Heritage
The title Zarathushtrian Heritage is therefore an alternative title to Zoroastrian Heritage.
