Airyanem Vaejah
Airyanem Vaejah (''Airyanəm Vaējah'', approximately “expanse of the Aryans”, i.e. Iranians〔 see p. 164 in: P.O. Skjaervo, The Avesta as source for the early history of the Iranians. In: G. Erdosy (ed.), The Indo-Aryans of Ancient South Asia. (Indian Philology and South Asian Studies, A. Wezler and M. Witzel, eds.), vol. 1, Berlin/New York: de Gruyter 1995, pp.155-176. 〕) is the homeland of Aryans (early Iranians) and a reference in the Zoroastrian Avesta (Vendidad, Farg. 1) to one of Ahura Mazda's "sixteen perfect lands."〔Darmesteter, James. ''Sacred Books of the East'' (1898). Peterson, Joseph H., Avesta - Zoroastrian Archives: VENDIDAD (English): Fargard 1. ()〕
==Etymology and related words==
The Old Iranian term ''airyanəm vaējah'' (in Avestan) is formed from the plural genitive case of ''airya'' and the word ''vaējah'' (whose oft-used nominative case is ''vaējō''). The meaning of ''vaējah'' is uncertain. It may be related to the old Indic ''vej/vij'' (in Vedic), suggesting the region of a fast-flowing river.〔see Edwin Bryant, The Quest for the origins of Vedic culture, 2001: 327〕 it has also been interpreted by some as “seed” or “germ”. Avestan ''airya'' is etymologically related to the Old Persian ''ariya''.
The related Old Iranian term ''
*aryānām xšaθra-'' generated the name of “Iran” (through Middle Iranian renderings, such as the Middle Persian term ''Ērān-shahr'' and ultimately ''Ērān'' during Sassanian empire).
