Etymology

From Scythian *Spargapaiθa, from *sparga (“scion, descendant”) (cf. Avestan 𐬯𐬞𐬀𐬭𐬆𐬖𐬀 (sparəγa, “sprout”)) + *paiθa (“adornment, decoration”), from an older *paisah (cf. Avestan 𐬞𐬀𐬉𐬯𐬀 (paēsa)). Alternatively, the second element could be *paiθa, from Common Iranian *paiśa (“outlook”).

Compare with Σπαργαπίσης (Spargapísēs), from Scythian *Spargapisa where *paiśa changed to *pisa, and with Ἀριαπείθης (Ariapeíthēs), from Scythian *Aryapaiθa.
