Where it comes from

Learned borrowing from Latin Armenia, from Ancient Greek Ᾰ̓ρμενῐ́ᾱ (Ărmenĭ́ā) (early 5th century BC), from Old Persian 𐎠𐎼𐎷𐎡𐎴 (a-r-mi-i-n /⁠Armina⁠/) (late 6th century BC); see it for more. The Old Persian name is an exonym: see հայ (hay) for the native name. Attested in English since late 14th century.
