[edit] Etymology

From Old Persian 𐎠𐎼𐎷𐎡𐎴 (Armina) (late 6th century BC), Ancient Greek Ἀρμενία (Armenia) (early 5th century BC). The further etymology of the Persian name is uncertain, but may be connected to the Akkadian Armânum, Armanî and/or the Biblical Minni. See Name of Armenia article for theories. The Old Persian name is an exonym: see հայ (hay) for the native name and Urartu for the Biblical Ararat.

   • 1st century BC, Horace, Odes, 2.9

     Non semper imbres nubibus hispidos

     manant in agros aut mare Caspium

     vexant inaequales procellae

     usque nec Armeniis in oris,

     amice Valgi, stat glacies iners

     mensis per omnis...

     The rain, it rains not every day

     On the soak'd meads; the Caspian main

     Not always feels the unequal sway

     Of storms, nor on Armenia's plain,

     Dear Valgius, lies the cold dull snow

     Through all the year...

   • 1st century AD, Pliny the Elder, Natural History, 6.9

     armenia autem maior incipit a parihedris montibus, euphrate amne, ut dictum est, aufertur cappadociae et, qua discedit euphrates, mesopotamiae haut minus claro amne tigri. utrumque fundit ipsa et initium mesopotamiae facit inter duos amnes exiturae.

     Greater Armenia, beginning at the mountains known as the Paryadres, is separated, as we have already stated, from Cappadocia by the river Euphrates, and, where that river turns off in its course, from Mesopotamia, by the no less famous river Tigris. Both of these rivers take their rise in Armenia, which also forms the commencement of Mesopotamia, a tract of country which lies between these streams.

   • 5th century AD, Saint Jerome, Latin Vulgate, Genesis 8.4

     requievitque arca mense septimo vicesima septima die mensis super montes Armeniae

     The ark rested in the seventh month, on the seventeenth day of the month, on Armenia's mountains.
