Old Armenian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂rew-i- (sun, sunshine), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂rew- (to shine); whence also Sanskrit रवि (ravi, sun) and Hittite [script needed] (ḫaru(wa)nae, to become bright, get light, dawn).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Related to արեգ (areg).

According to Martirosyan, Old Armenian արեւ (arew) / արեգ (areg) probably reflects an Indo-European or Armeno-Aryan poetically or sacrally marked designation of “sun”, replacing the Proto-Indo-European unmarked profane *sóh₂wl̥ (sun).[12]
