Meaning
Aryan is a gender-neutral name with roots in India, derived from Sanskrit. It is associated with the term *Arya*, which conveys the idea of nobility or honorable birth, and is historically linked to Indo-European peoples. While the name has long-standing cultural significance in South Asia, it was later misappropriated in Nazi ideology, where it was incorrectly used to promote the concept of a so-called superior Nordic-Caucasian race.
