Etymology

From Scythian *Aryapaiθa (literally “adornment of the Iranians”), composed *Arya (“Aryan, Iranian”) + *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 Σπαργαπείθης (Spargapeíthēs), from Scythian *Spargapaiθa, and with Σπαργαπίσης (Spargapísēs), from Scythian *Spargapisa.
