The
Name ARAZ
The word "ARAZ" is
taken from the name of a wild river flowing from east Turkey
along a portion of the border between north west Iran and the
southwest Russia into the Kura river.
Because of its strategic position, this river is considered to
be a joint boundary between Iran and other countries
such as Turkey, Armenia, Azerbaijan and the Republic of Nakhichevan.
Moreover, from long ago, this river has had a mythological
reputation. In the Armenian language the word Araz is known as "Arax",
in
the Persian language as "Aras" and in the Azeri
language as "Araz", all of which have the same root in the Aryan
language.
The below letter is
received from one of our site visitors who has given a very
interesting and valuble comment about other meaning of word
"Araz":
"
I came across your
"website" today and I have enjoyed browsing the
content.As I was browsing around, I noticed the section about
the "name Araz". My nick name is Araz and I am
originally a Turkmen from Iran, residing in
Virginia, USA. The name Araz is a common name among Turkmen of
Iran. It is usually used as a prefix, such as in my name
(Araz-dordi, Araz-galdi, Araz-berdi and so on). Having said
this, If I may suggest one more meaning
of Araz to your description of "the name Araz" in
your site. In Turkmen it means "the month of
Ramazan". Those who are born in the month of Ramazan will
have a prefix of "Araz" at the beginning of their
names. So, since I was
born in the month of Ramazan, I carry the name Arazdordi
(meaning = born in Ramazan).
Best wishes,
Araz

Araz Philosophy
Araz philosophy is that we belong to Nature not possess her.
The source and mother of life is Nature and we are her
children and must try not to annoy the mother, taking refuge
in her bosom, we forget the sufferings and frozenness of
urbanism. Because there we have to be free from our social
status, we are just her children so we should try to learn the
language of the Nature to communicate with.
There we learn simplicity
and experience how to live freely.
Respect her because she is the whole knowledge beyond our
imagination.
We love her because we know her as the mother of all living
creatures.
We believe that Nature is not a heritage left to us by our
ancestors but a gift, which should be gifted to the futures,
so try to reserve her beauty as it is.
