Aryobarzanes is Persian in Origin.

Aryobarzanes is the Greek-Latin form of an Old Persian name Āriyābarzān. It combines ārya “noble; Aryan, Iranian” with barzān/barzant “exalted, high,” yielding senses like “exalting the Aryans,” “noble and exalted,” or “the Aryans’ exalted one.” Attested spellings include Ariobarzanes, Ariobarzan(es), Aryobarzan, Ario Barzan, and French Ariobarzane; modern Persian is Āriyābarzān.

The name appears widely in the Achaemenid and Hellenistic world: Ariobarzanes ‘the Brave,’ satrap of Persis, fell resisting Alexander at the Persian Gates (330 BCE); another Ariobarzanes ruled Hellespontine Phrygia and led the Satraps’ Revolt (360s BCE). Later bearers include Ariobarzanes I–III, kings of Cappadocia (95–42 BCE), and an Ariobarzanes of Media Atropatene. Revived in modern Iran as Ariobarzan/Ario Barzan, it signals pride in pre-Islamic heritage while remaining rare internationally. Feminine or diminutive forms are uncommon; possible short forms include Ario and Aryo.
