Etymology

Inherited from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (yl /⁠yal⁠/, hero), of unclear further etymology. Initial ya- cannot be directly inherited from Proto-Iranian. It is possibly a borrowing from Alanic or some other Northeastern Iranian descendant of Proto-Iranian *Áryah (Aryan, Iranian),[1] whence also ایران (irân, Iran). Compare Proto-Ossetic *Allānʉ (of the Aryans, genitive plural).
