Persian
Etymology
Inherited from Middle Persian 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱𐭪𐭩 𐭫𐭥𐭡𐭠𐭭 (ʾnʿšky lʿbʾn /anōšag ruwān/, “immortal soul”), from 𐭠𐭭𐭥𐭱𐭪𐭩 (ʾnʿšky /anōšag/, “immortal”) and 𐭫𐭥𐭡𐭠𐭭 (lʿbʾn /ruwān/, “soul”). However, early in the Islamic period, the first element was conflated with Classical Persian نوشین (nōšēn, “sweet, ambrosial”) and mistakenly thought to mean "he of the sweet soul", leading to various irregular shifts. anōšērwān is the most common form in Classical texts. By surface analysis, انوشه (anuše, “immortal”) + روان (ravân, “soul”).
