The name Adarnase derives from Middle Persian Ādurnarsēh, with the second component of the word (Nase) being the Georgian attestation of the Middle Persian name Narseh, which ultimately derives from Avestan nairyō.saŋya-.[2] The Middle Persian name Narseh also exists in Georgian as Nerse.[2] The name Ādurnarsēh appears in the Armenian language as Atrnerseh.[3]
