The Old Persian form Armina is first attested around 520 BCE in the Behistun Inscription of Darius I, where it denotes an Achaemenid province; the corresponding Babylonian version instead uses the older regional name Urartu. The related Old Persian form Arminiya- denoted an Armenian or inhabitant of the province. The ultimate origin of the Old Persian name is uncertain. One proposal traces it through an unidentified nb arc - form to reconstructed nb xur *armini inhabitant of Arme, but this explanation is not securely established.
