Old Persian[edit]

Etymology[edit]

Old Persian Armina is the first unambiguous application of the name Armenia as the ethnonym of the Armenians and is first attested in 6th century BC Behistun inscription by Achaemenid king Darius I of Persia. Like most place names in West Asia the Persians borrowed it from Aramaeans, whom the Achaemenids employed in their chancelleries. According to Diakonoff the word is formed with long Aramaic ending -ฤ from Urartian *armini (โ€œinhabitant of Arme; Arme-ian (country)โ€).[1] Arme/Urme was a country inhabited by Proto-Armenians in the mountains of Sassoun; of the territories inhabited by Proto-Armenians it was the closest to Aramaeans (who lived in Amida). See also Old Armenian ีฐีกีต (hay) and Old Georgian แƒกแƒแƒ›แƒ”แƒฎแƒ˜ (somexi).
