[edit] Old Armenian
[edit] Etymology
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 this 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.
