Etymology

From Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlcʾn /⁠arzān⁠/), 𐫀𐫡𐫉𐫀𐫗 (ʾrzʾn /⁠arzān⁠/, “valuable, worthy”), from [Book Pahlavi needed] (ʾlc /⁠arz⁠/, “worth, value”) + [Book Pahlavi needed] (-ʾn /⁠-ān⁠/), from Proto-Iranian *Hárǰ, from Proto-Indo-Iranian *Hárǰʰ (“to be worth”). Cognate with Parthian 𐫀𐫡𐫋𐫀𐫗 (ʾrjʾn /⁠aržān⁠/, “worthy”), Talysh ارژون (erjon), Northern Kurdish erzan and the following Iranian borrowings: Old Armenian արժան (aržan, “worthy; cheap”), Classical Syriac ܐܪܙܢ (ʾarzān, “cheap”).
