Etymology

An Iranian name. According to Dowsett, the original Armenian form probably was *Շահրապաղական (*Šahrapałakan).

Justi explains the meaning of the name as “realm's panther”: for the constituents compare Middle Persian 𐭱𐭲𐭥𐭩 (šahr, land, realm), Persian پلنگ (palang, panther), ـان (-ân, suffix). On the other hand, Hübschmann tentatively proposes a derivation from Middle Persian 𐭱𐭲𐭥𐭩 (šahr, land) + pyl (pīl, elephant) + -kʾn' (-(a)gān, suffix). Dowsett considers Hübschmann's etymology unsatisfactory and accepts Justi's proposal.

The same person is attested as Byzantine Greek Σαραβλαγγᾶς (Sarablangâs) in Theophanes.
