What is the meaning of the name Artaxiad ?

Artaxiad is Armenian in Origin.

Artaxiad is an English dynastic byname for the royal house founded by Artaxias I of Armenia. The term derives from Greek/Latin Artaxias, itself from Old Iranian Artaxšaça (Avestan aša “truth, right order” + xšaça “rule, dominion”), yielding the sense “righteous rule” or “reign through truth.” As a personal name, Artaxiad would convey “descendant of Artaxias/Artashes” alongside the ideal of just kingship.

Historically, Artaxiad labels the Armenian dynasty of the 2nd–1st centuries BCE in classical and modern sources; it was not used as a given name. As a modern choice it is rare and scholarly, suited to Armenian heritage. Related forms include Armenian Artashes (Արտաշես) and its adjectival Artashesian/Artashesid, the Hellenized Artaxias, and the cognate Persian royal name Artaxerxes, which shares the same Iranian elements.
