Proto-Slavic
Etymology
Uncertain. Possibly from the Old Persian [script needed] (*xaraxwat-), attested by the Old Iranian toponym Harahvait-, the native name of Arachosia.
Common theories from the 20th century derive it from an Iranian origin, the root word being a third-century Scytho-Sarmatian form attested in the Tanais Tablets as Χοροάθος (Khoroáthos, alternate forms comprise Khoróatos and Khoroúathos).
