The term "Aryan" historically refers to a group of people who spoke Indo-Iranian languages, originating from ancient migrations in the Eurasian region. In the 19th and early 20th centuries, it was misappropriated in racial theories to denote a supposed superior race, particularly by Nazi ideology, which falsely linked it to notions of racial purity and supremacy. Today, the term is largely avoided in academic contexts due to its association with these ideologies and the ensuing atrocities.
