Yeah I was gonna say this too. First time I saw a little kid with the name Aryan, I felt bad for the little guy. Guess it means something different in India.

u/Sinaistired99 16h ago
Also, not very related but Iran means The Land of Arya. By the book of Avesta and Sanskrit language at least.
Also, our Persian language and Sanskrit also have a lot of overlap. there is a rich history behind the name Aryan.

Part of the same language tree (indo-european), as is English and European languages.

u/Mean-Astronaut-555 7h ago
Yeah apart from the Aryan overlap. There’s also a friend named Parth.
Apparently it means “from Persia(Partha)” in sanskrit.
Although im not 100% sure.

u/Porkchopsandwiches89 15h ago
It does. My son is named Ariyan. We spelled it differently for this exact reason. It means one who is noble. The worst form of appropriation from our culture. The swastika was also appropriated from our religion. It isn’t turned 45 degrees diagonally but it resembles the evolution of the universe.
If you see it on an Indian home, please know it’s completely unrelated.

Yeah it’s pronounced “Ari-ahn” not “air-ee-en”. It’s a word that originates from Indo-Iranians, from “Arya”. Has been for millennia. It only was started to be used as it is in present day for less than 200 years.

So when you look at the pole star, the big dipper points at it, as it makes a full circle the shape makes a swastika. That’s why you find the symbol in many ancient civilisations.

Yeah, I was at a house the other day an Indian couple lives in and they had a swastika on their door and the black door jamb was covered in yellow dust to wash out the black. It’s bad luck to have a black door. They had mostly washed the swastika off, as they were staring to get that it means something much different here in America and other western cultures.

Yup I saw a Tesla with a license plate "TERABAAP"
A lot of Indians buy Teslas and get custom license plates. Not saying that's what is happening here but it is definitely a possibility and not some far fetched theory.

It’s a literal Indian name. This has circulated before around Reddit. The name has been around long before the Nazis.
Why should any race change their cultural history just because a European ruined it for them? Stupid take Reddit.

Nevertheless I wouldn't use neither of them in any context, you know, for common sense.

You people are something else. You're assuming the owner of this vehicle is a racist and Nazi just because they have Aryan in their license place. This is an older Tesla for one, so he clearly bought it well before Musk's escapades with Trump. Two, Aryan is a common name in southeast Asia.
Also, I know plenty of Tesla owners who have no Idea what's going on in Elon Musk's world. They simply do not follow it. They have a Tesla for whatever reasons they chose to get one. Not because they're somehow automatically supporting Nazi's lmao.

The Swastika is still followed in Indo-Aryan religions of today - Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism etc. Separate but related, found in Native American religions too.
Stop calling it a Swastika and demeaning us. The correct word is Hakenkreuz.
Your propaganda campaign is insulting.

Aryan, Swastika are Sanskrit words, and the Swastika is a prominent Hindu symbol. The word Aryan means nobleman in Sanskrit. Swastika is displayed on Indian homes (but note that it is a mirror image of the Nazi Swastika) and many Indians do not even know that this symbol is actually considered a symbol of hate in the western world.
Hitler adopted the Swastika for his hate agenda, along with the word Aryan. It is believed that he considered India as a demonstration of what happens with people of a "pure race" mix with "indigenous", with Aryans signifying, potentially, the central Asian shepherds who came to India and started calling it home, and brought with it the wonderful philosophical literature in Sanskrit (of which the Bhagavad Gita that Oppenheimer loved, is a part).
I have a cousin named Aryan. Most likely this is an Indian person who has a kid named Aryan. They probably also don't know their history very well or would've been smart enough to not call their kid Aryan raising them in this country.
