Old Armenian [edit]

Etymology [edit]

Grown with prothetic e- from Iranian *Rēvant, from *Raivant-, *Rayivant- (possessing wealth). Compare Avestan  (raēvant-, rich, splendid),  (rayi-, wealth), Sanskrit रेवत् (revat, wealthy), रयिवत् (rayivat, possessing wealth), रयि (rayi, wealth).

Hübschmann derived from Iranian *arvant- (swift); compare Middle Persian  (arvand, swift), Avestan  (aurvant-, swift). But this is unlikely, as *arvant- would have yielded Armenian *Արուանդ (Aruand).

Corresponds to Orontes and Ὀρόντης (Orontēs) of Classical authors. Related to Երուազ.

Proper noun [edit]

Երուանդ  (Eruand)  (singular genitive Երուանդայ)

  1. A male given name
