Real-world considerations
- A reader should be aware that the same root word underlies the unrelated 19th/20th-century pseudo-scientific 'Aryan race' concept and its use by Nazi racial theory and white-supremacist groups; this is a later, separate misuse of the term and not part of the personal name's original Sanskrit/Old Persian meaning.
