Aristarchos is Greek in Origin.

Aristarchos is a masculine given name from Ancient Greek Ἀρίσταρχος (Arístarchos), composed of aristos “best” and archos/archon “ruler, leader,” yielding the meaning “best ruler” or “excellent leader.” The Latinized form Aristarchus spread the name into scholarly and ecclesiastical contexts. In Greek, common short forms are Aris and Ari.

The name appears across classical and early Christian history. Notable bearers include Aristarchus of Samos, the Hellenistic astronomer who proposed a heliocentric model, and Aristarchus of Samothrace, the Alexandrian grammarian. In the New Testament, Aristarchus is a Macedonian companion of the Apostle Paul, which preserved the name in Christian calendars, especially in Eastern Orthodoxy. International variants include Aristarchus (Latin/English), Aristarco (Italian, Spanish, Portuguese), Aristarque (French), Aristarkh (Russian and other Slavic languages: Аристарх), and Arystarch (Polish). Usage today is uncommon but recognized in Greece, Cyprus, and Slavic countries with Orthodox traditions.
