Old Armenian[edit]
Etymology[edit]
Attested by Movsēs Xorenacʿi as the name of the legendary patriarch of Armenians. According to Movsēs, patriarch Aram's name is the source of the exonym Armenia, but this is a folk etymology.
According to Perixanjan, from Middle Median *Arām, from Old Iranian *Rāma- (literally “joy, peace”); compare Avestan 𐬭𐬁𐬨𐬀𐬥 (rāman, “peace”), Persian رام (râm), آرام (ârâm). Ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁rem- (“to rest, become quiet, calm”). She derives Արամանեակ (Aramaneak) and Արամայիս (Aramayis) from the same source.[1]
A relation to Arame, the name of the king of Urartu of unknown meaning, has also been suggested.[2]
Formally, the name can be derived from Classical Syriac ܐܕܡ (ʼĀḏām, “Adam”). For Syriac ḏ → Armenian ր (r) compare հրեայ (hreay), ծարիր (carir).
