Aryan
For Hindu, Zoroastrian, and other spiritual interpretations, see Arya. For the Bollywood film, see Aryan (film). For the Indian child actor, see Aryan Khan.Aryan is an English language word derived from Sanskrit and Avestan term meaning "noble" or "spiritual". It is widely held to have been used as an ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians. Since, in the 19th century, the Indo-Iranians were the most ancient known speakers of Indo-European languages, the word Aryan was adopted to refer not only to the Indo-Iranian people, but also to Indo-European speakers as a whole.
