Etymology

From Old Norse ari, from Proto-Germanic *arô, from Proto-Indo-European *h₃érō. Proto-Germanic preserved a zero-grade -n-suffix. This form is an Old Norse regularization as an an-stem masculine noun. Compare the doublet örn, which was inherited from the same Proto-Germanic word, but regularized as a u-stem similarly to björn. See: Old Norse Nouns 'ari'.
