Etymology
From Old Persian *Naryasanga-, *Narēsanga-,[1][2] cognate with Avestan *𐬥𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬋⸱𐬯𐬀𐬓𐬀 (*nairiiō.saxᵛa), variant of 𐬥𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬋⸱𐬯𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬀 (nairiiō.saŋha, “Nairyosangha”, literally “potent utterance”), name of a yazata. The name is composed of the elements 𐬥𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬀 (nairiia, “male”) + 𐬯𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬀 (saŋha, “word”). Both *Naryasanga-, *Narēsanga- and 𐬥𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬋⸱𐬯𐬀𐬢𐬵𐬀 (nairiiō.saŋha) are inherited from Proto-Iranian *Hnárācánhah, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hnárāćánsas.
