Old Armenian

Etymology

Attested by Moses of Chorene as the name of the legendary patriarch of Armenians. From Middle Median *Arām, ultimately from Iranian *Rāma- (“joy, peace”), whence also Արամանեակ and Արամայիս. A relation to Arame, king of Urartu, the meaning of whose name is unknown, has also been suggested. According to Moses, patriarch Aram's name is the source of the exonym Armenia.
