Aryan is a masculine name with Sanskrit origins that is used mainly across India and Iran. This moniker holds the meanings of "noble" and "educated" and has been used since ancient times as both a surname and first name by Indo-Iranian communities. The name Aryan was co-opted by Nazi Germany during World War II—at this time, the word was used to glorify Germans while also singling out other people and races as lesser. These unfortunate connections have had an impact on the number of parents choosing this name for their bundle of joy and may be something you would like to stay aware of while picking out baby's moniker. An alternative to Aryan can be the Greek and Hebrew Arion, which holds the meanings "enchanted" and "melodious."
