Aramu
Aramu or Arame was the first known king of Urartu. Living at the time of  Shalmaneser III (ruled 859 BC-824 BC), Aram united the Nairi tribe against the threat of the Assyrian Empire. His capital at Arzashkun was captured by Shalmaneser. Aramu is believed to be the prototype of Aram, one of the legendary forefathers of the Armenian people. Historical Aramu had no Aramaic or connection to Biblical Aram, and the phonetic similarity is coincidental. Khorenatsi's History (1.5) puts Aram six generations after Haik, in the chronology of Mikayel Chamchian dated to the 19th century BC.
