Aryo

US Popularity Rank: 20381

Origin: Persian

Meaning: Noble

Aryo is a classic example of intercultural influence. Some thousands of years ago, the Sanskrit and Persian languages came together to build upon existing cultural terms such as arya and ariya to refer to people belonging to the Aryan race. The attributed meanings, “honorable” and “noble,” helped paint a glorious picture. Many South East Asian nations even adopt the name Arya for both boys and girls. But Aryo, Ario, and Aryono are variants native to Indonesia. A namesake worthy of mention is Aryo Barzan, a Persian hero who fought against Alexander the Great in 330 BC. If you’re looking for a name that is rooted in history, but still commands respect even to this day, this name fits like a glove.
