خورشید
Persian
Alternative forms

Etymology
From Middle Persian 𐭧𐭥𐭫(𐭧)𐭱𐭩𐭲 (xwar(x)šēd, “sun”), from Proto-Iranian *huHarxšaytah. Compare Avestan 𐬵𐬎𐬎𐬀𐬭𐬆-𐬑𐬱𐬀𐬉𐬙𐬀- (huuarə-xšaēta-, “bright sun (an epithet)”).
The first part is cognate with خراسان (xorâsân), the name of a province in eastern Iran (since the sun rises in the east), and the second part (equivalent to شید (“bright”) in modern Persian) with Old Armenian աշխէտ (ašxēt).[1]
