Etymology
The original spelling is նաւթճեմ (nawtʻčem), from *նաւթաճ (*nawtʻač, “messenger, herald”), from Middle Iranian *nāvtā̆č (“messenger, herald”), from Iranian *nāv(a)tā̆c-. The first part is from *nāv(a)- or *nāvi- (“word, new”), from *nā̆v- (“to yell, to praise, to proclaim”); compare Sanskrit नौति (nauti, “to sound, shout, exult; to praise, commend”), Persian ناویدن (nâvidan, “to lament, complain”) and Latin nūntius. The second part is from *tak- (“to flow, to move”). See: Sanskrit '
नौति'.
