Old Armenian

Etymology

An Iranian borrowing.[1][2][3] Morphologically, a compound of *մեհի- (*mehi-) +‎ -աւանդ (-awand).

While certainly Iranian in origin, the first element is not easily recognizable. Perhaps this is a cognate of Avestan 𐬨𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬰𐬎 (mərəzu, neck, vertebra), from Proto-Iranian *mr̥ju-, although phonologically difficult to explain. Olsen (1999) instead suggested a derivation from Iranian *miθriya-βanda-, whose first part is possibly found in Ancient Greek μίτρα (mítra), μίτρη (mítrē, headband).[4][5] Alternatively, it is a descendant of Proto-Iranian *mā́Hah (moon), for a crescent-shaped jewelry.[6]

Noun

մեհևանդ (mehewand)

  1. a kind of women's jewelry, either a necklace or a bracelet
