Yervand I (
Armenian: Երուանդ Ա, Yervand I)
Armenian was a King of the
Orontid Dynasty who reigned during the period between 401 BC – 344 BC. The Persian version of the name is
Auruand which meant "Great Warrior" in the
Avestan language. It is likely this was a special title given by the Persian king to a chosen
Armenian man, though this seems to have become a hereditary title in that family.
