What does the name Aryan mean?
The meaning and origin of Aryan
English

1. of or relating to the former Indo-European people; 'Indo- European migrations'

English

noun 1. (according to Nazi doctrine) a Caucasian person of Nordic descent (and not a Jew)

English

noun 2. a member of the prehistoric people who spoke Proto-Indo European

English
noun
//ˈɛəɹi.ən//

A member of a race defined variously as comprising people of Germanic descent, in the narrowest sense, or all non-Jewish Caucasians, in the broadest sense; A person of Caucasian (white / Northern European) ethnicity; a white non-Jew.

Etymology: From Sanskrit आर्य (ā́rya, “noble; noble one”) + -n. The Sanskrit word is from Proto-Indo-Iranian *áryas (the original Indo-Iranian autonym). Borrowed into English in the 19th century, at first as a term for the Indo-Iranian languages, and later partly extended to the Indo-European languages and peoples following a theory by Friedrich Schlegel that connected the Indo-Iranian words arya/ā́rya with German Ehre (“honor”) and some older Germanic names, thus assuming that it was the original Indo-European autonym meaning "the honorable people". The original meaning of the Indo-Iranian autonym and its possible Indo-European origin/cognates are disputed (see the Wikipedia article for further details). The same Proto-Indo-Iranian root is the ultimate source of the country name Iran.
