Old Irish
Etymology
Originally a io-stem (as shown by the dative plural form airib and the personal name Lóegaire (literally “favorite nobleman”) with vocative and genitive Lóegairi), later reanalyzed as a k-stem due to conflation with the synonymous airech. From Proto-Celtic *aryos (compare Gaulish personal names with Ario-, such as Ario-manus and Ario-vistus), of unknown origin.
- Historically (since the now-defunct derivation of Adolphe Pictet, 1858) speculated to mean "freeman", and furthermore supposed to be related to Indo-Iranian *áryas. This idea was especially popular in the 19th- and early 20th-century context of "Aryan" race and language theory, which posited Aryans as "noble" "freemen" opposed to slave-like ??? (d?sa)/Semites. Today, for linguistic reasons, any attempt to find a European cognate for the Indo-Iranian autonym is treated with extreme skepsis. See *áryas for details.
- According to Meid, it is from Proto-Indo-European *pr?h?- (“first”) (Sanskrit ????? (p?rvá), Ancient Greek ?????? (prôtos), Lithuanian pirmas). According to Matasovi? this is less convincing because there are no traces of the laryngeal in the purported Celtic reflexes (*pr?h?yos would have given *?r?yos).
