Aryan also spelled Ariyan, Arian, Aryann or Aaryan is a given name and surname that is popular in India and Iran. The name Aryan is derived from the Sanskrit (ārya) meaning "noble and educated".[2] In the Anglosphere, the name has negative connotations to many due to the Nazi racial theories about the superiority of the so-called Aryan race and modern usage of the term by white supremacist organization Aryan Nations.[3] [4]
