Aryan or Arya (//;[1] Indo-Iranian *arya) is a term originally used as an ethnocultural self-designation by Indo-Iranians in ancient times, in contrast to the nearby outsiders known as 'non-Aryan' (*an-arya).[2][3] In Ancient India, the term was used by the Indo-Aryan speakers of the Vedic period as an (self-designation) and in reference to a region known as ('abode of the '), where the Indo-Aryan culture emerged.[4] In the Avesta scriptures, ancient Iranian peoples similarly used the term to designate themselves as an ethnic group, and in reference to their mythical homeland, ('stretch of the ').[5][6] The root also forms the etymological source of place names such as Iran (*) and (*-).[7]
Although the root *arya- may be of Proto-Indo-European (PIE) origin,[8] its use as an ethnocultural self-designation is only attested among Indo-Iranian peoples, and it is not known if PIE speakers had a term to designate themselves as 'Proto-Indo-Europeans'. In any case, scholars point out that, even in ancient times, the idea of being an Aryan was religious, cultural and linguistic, not racial.[9][10][11]
In the 1850s the term 'Aryan' was adopted as a racial category by French writer Arthur de , who, through the later works of Houston Stewart Chamberlain, influenced the Nazi racial ideology.[12] Under Nazi rule (1933–1945), the term applied to most inhabitants of Germany who were not Jews, Poles, , or Russians.[13][14] Those classified as 'non-Aryans,' especially Jews,[15] were discriminated against before suffering the systematic mass killing known as the Holocaust.[13] The atrocities committed in the name of supremacist ideologies have led academics to avoid the term 'Aryan', which has been replaced in most cases by 'Indo-Iranian', although the South Asian branch is still known as 'Indo-Aryan'.[16]
