Origin of the Bagratid dynasties
The Bagratid dynasties – Bagratuni (Բագրատունյաց) in Armenia and Bagrationi (ბაგრატიონი) in Georgia – count among the longest-reigning royal families in the Caucasus (and in Europe), starting as princely houses and attaining to the royal status in both countries in the 9th century. The origins of the Bagratids are disputed though more widely accepted version has it that the both dynasties had common roots, beginning in Armenia and branching later into Georgia.〔Toumanoff, C., ''Iberia on the Eve of Bagratid Rule'', p. 22, cited in: Suny (1994), p. 349〕〔Rapp, Stephen H. (2003), ''Studies in Medieval Georgian Historiography: Early Texts and Eurasian Contexts'', p. 337〕 The Armenian house went extinct by the 12th century, while the Georgian line, continues to this day as the nominal ''Royal House of Georgia'' according to Cyrill Tourmanoff. The root of the names Bagrationi and Bagratuni, ''Bagrat-'', derives from the Old Persian ''Bagadāta'', "God-Given". In Armenia and Georgia, the respective names for the Bagratid dynasties literally translate to "The children of/house established by Bagrat" (Bagrat + Classical Greek: - id, "the children").
== Claim of Armenian descent of the Bagrationi dynasty ==
Rival tales have been developed in Georgia and Armenia regarding the origins of the dynasties. The Bagratids of Armenia are speculated to have been an offshoot of the Orontid Dynasty, Achaemenid satraps and, later, kings of Armenia (c 400 – c 200 BC). They had their original appanage in Bagrevand in historic north-central Armenia and claimed their descent from a solar deity ''Angl-Thork'', the tutelary god of the Orontids, until their conversion to Christianity. Thereafter, this claim was abandoned in favor of the mythical ancestor of the Armenians, Hayk. Later, under biblical influences, they entertained another claim, of Hebrew ancestry, first articulated by Moses of Khorene, and developed by the Bagrationi Rulers of Georgia into a claim of their descent from the biblical king-prophet David〔Toumanoff, C. ''Iberia on the Eve of Bagratid Rule'', p. 22, cited in: Suny (1994), p. 349〕 Once the Georgian branch, who had quickly acculturated in the new environment,〔Rapp (2003), p. 169〕 assumed royal power, the myth of their biblical origin helped to assert their legitimacy and emerged as a main ideological pillar of the millennium-long Bagrationi rule in Georgia from 575 AD to 1810 AD.〔Rapp (2003), p. 234〕 The claim is given no credence by modern scholarship. The harp on their Coat of Arms is a reference that ancestry.
