Etymology 2
editFrom Middle Persian [script needed] (lwbʾn /ruwān/), Manichaean Middle Persian 𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫗 (rwʾn /ruwān/, “soul”). Cognate with Parthian 𐫀𐫡𐫇𐫀𐫗 (ʾrwʾn /arwān/, “soul”), Avestan 𐬎𐬭𐬬𐬀𐬥- (urvan-, “soul; immortal part of a human being or an animal”), Pashto: اروا, and perhaps Sanskrit रूप (rūpa, “shape, form”). Ultimately perhaps from Proto-Iranian *urw-āna- (literally “what has created a wide room for itself”); compare Sanskrit उरु (uru, “space, wide scope, liberty”).[1] Old Armenian ուրու (uru, “ghost”) is probably an Iranian loanword.
