Achaemenius is Persian in Origin.

Achaemenius is a Latinized learned form of the name better known as Achaemenes, deriving from Old Persian Haxāmaniš and Greek Akhaiménēs. Linguists usually parse the Old Persian elements haxā “together” and manah “mind, thought,” giving the sense “of one mind,” “united in purpose,” or “having a friendly disposition.” In Modern Persian the cognate form is Hakhāmanesh, familiar from references to the early Persian imperial house.

The name belongs to the legendary forefather of the Achaemenid dynasty, cited by Herodotus and in the royal inscriptions of Darius I as the family’s eponym. In classical Latin, Achaemenius also functions adjectivally to mean “Achaemenian” or “Persian,” so personal use has always been rare. Variants and related forms include Achaemenes, Akhaiménēs, Haxāmaniš, and Hakhāmanesh; the dynastic byname Achaemenid is closely associated.
