Meaning & History
Likely deriving from the name of the goddess Arti, with the elements paya ("pasture") and pati ("lord") (both of which stem from a common root). This was the name of a major Scythian goddess of fertility, warfare, and sovereignty. She was equated by Herodotus of Halicarnassus with Aphrodite Ourania.
