History and Origin
Yervand (Armenian: Երվանդ, Greek: Oront; Persian: Арранд) is an Armenian given name of Persian origin. This name was borne by a number of satraps of the Achaemenid satrapy of Eastern Armenia, and then by the kings of the Ayrarat kingdom from the Yervandid dynasty. Of these, Ervand I (c. 401–344 BC), the ancestor of the dynasty, mentioned in Xenophon's Anabasis (kn. III, ch. 5), Yervand III (Eroart) (317–260), the first to assume the royal title, and Yervand IV (212–200), the last king of the Ayrarat kingdom, which was abolished by the Seleucid king Antiochus the Great.
In Armenian folklore, samples of which were retold in the V century by Movses Khorenatsi, there was a cycle of tales about Yervanda, in which Yervand acted as a mighty hero born from the unnatural coition of his mother with a bull, a usurper who seized the throne of the Arsacids, but died in the struggle against the rightful heir Artashes. Obviously, in this way, the people's memory reflected the change of dynasties - Yervandids to Artashesids - that came at the turn of the III-II centuries BC. e. (that is, 600-700 years before Movses). This mythical Yervand was credited by popular memory with the construction of the cities of Yervandakert and Yervandashat, as well as the planting of the Tsnnod forest, the establishment of the Bagaran temple complex, etc. In addition, Movses Khorenatsi mentions another Yervand, whom he calls Yervand I the Short-Lived, from the family of the original kings of the Aikids (descendants of the legendary ancestor of the Armenians Hayk), the father of the equally legendary king Tigran the Ancient.
