Etymology 2

From Middle Persian (lwbʾn /⁠ruwān⁠/), Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫗 (rwʾn /⁠ruwān⁠/, “soul”). Cognate with Parthian 𐫀𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫗 (ʾrwʾn /⁠arwān⁠/, “soul”), Avestan 𐬎𐬭𐬬𐬀𐬥- (urvan-, “soul; immortal part of a human being or an animal”), and perhaps Sanskrit रूप (rūpa, “shape, form”). Ultimately perhaps from Proto-Iranian *urw-āna- (literally “what has created a wide room for itself”); compare Sanskrit उरु (uru, “space, wide scope, liberty”). Old Armenian ուրու (uru, “ghost”) is probably an Iranian loanword.
