Etymology

Via some other European language, ultimately from Persian ایران (irân), from Middle Persian 𐭠𐭩𐭥𐭠𐭭 (ʾyʿʾn /⁠ērān⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *aryānām (of the Aryans), genitive plural of *arya- (as in Old Persian 𐎠𐎼𐎡𐎹 (a-r-i-y /⁠ariya-⁠/), Avestan 𐬀𐬌𐬭𐬌𐬌𐬀 (airiia), Ossetic ир (ir, Ossetian)). Compare Parthian 𐭀𐭓𐭉𐭀𐭍 (aryān, Iran). The 𐭠𐭩𐭥𐭠𐭭 (ʾyʿʾn /⁠ērān⁠/) came to refer to the lands in which Iranians lived during the late 3rd to early 4th centuries. Prior to that time it was an ethnic, not geographic, term used for the Iranian peoples.
