Aryan also spelled Ariyan, Arian, Aryann, Arian 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". 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.
