Old Armenian
Etymology
A Middle Iranian borrowing. Traditionally explained as a hypocoristic in -ēn (see Զաւէն (Zawēn) for this suffix) of names with *Arta(x)š-, such as Արտաշէս (Artašēs), Արտաշիր (Artašir), thus Old Iranian *R̥ta-xš-aina-. But Justi explains as Old Iranian *R̥ta-šayana- (“having a clean dwelling, whose house is the seat of purity”) (see շէն (šēn)).
