Old Armenian

Etymology

From Proto-Indo-European *h₂rew-i- (“sun, sunshine”), from Proto-Indo-European *h₂rew- (“to shine”); whence also Sanskrit रवि (ravi, “sun”) and Hittite (ḫaru(wa)nae, “to become bright, get light, dawn”).[1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] Related to արեգ (areg).

According to Martirosyan, Old Armenian արեւ (arew) / արեգ (areg) probably reflects an Indo-European or Armeno-Aryan poetically or sacrally marked designation of “sun”, replacing the Proto-Indo-European unmarked profane *sóh₂wl̥ (“sun”).[12]

    զքաղցր արեւն յաչաց հանել, զրկել յարեւէ ― zkʻałcʻr arewn yačʻacʻ hanel, zrkel yarewē ― to deprive of light, to blind
  3. (figuratively) life, day
