- 1601; as "the original Aryan language," 1847 (Arian was used in this sense 1839, but led to confusion with the tern in ecclesiastical history), from L. Ariana, from Gk. Aria name applied to various parts of western Asia, from Skt. Arya-s "noble, honorable, respectable," the name Sanskrit-speaking invaders of India gave themselves in the ancient texts, originally "belonging to the hospitable," from arya-s "lord, hospitable lord," originally "protecting the stranger," from ari-s "stranger." Ancient Persians gave themselves the same name (O.Pers. Ariya-), hence Iran (from Iranian eran, from Avestan gen. pl. airyanam). Used 1861 by Max Mьller to refer to "worshippers of the gods of the Brahmans," it had been earlier applied (by Pritchard and Whitney) to a group of related, inflected languages, gradually replaced by Indo-European (attested from 1814); it came to be applied to the speakers of this language 19c., picked up in racist writings of M.A. de Gobineau, and used in Nazi ideology to mean "member of a Caucasian Gentile race of Nordic type." As an ethnic designation, however, it is properly limited to Indo-Iranians, and most justly to the latter. ...Английский Этимологический словарь
