Etymology
The origin is uncertain. Likely from a compound whose second part is cognate with Avestan 𐬭𐬀𐬊𐬜𐬀 (raoδa, “growth; appearance”), Persian روی (roy, “face”), with one proposed but uncertain etymology being Old Persian *hurauda- (“beautiful growth”),[1] from *hu- (“good”) + *rauda- (“growth”).
Possibly cognate with Middle Persian 𐭥𐭩𐭥𐭥𐭣 (wyrwd). See it for more.
