Երուանդ
Definition from Wiktionary, the free dictionary

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.
