Etymology
Aryan comes from the ancient word arya, which meant 'noble' in old Indian and Persian languages; scholars later used it for the early peoples who spoke the languages that became many modern European and Indian tongues, so as an adjective Aryan means 'relating to those ancient peoples or their languages'.
