Udi

Etymology

Inherited from Aghwan. The term *Udi- / *Uti- is etymologically obscure. These variants likely reflect a phonetic unit perceived as either [-d-] or [-t-], which allows reconstructing a form *ut:i- characterized by a tense voiceless dental stop. The name may have originally denoted “heights” or “high regions,” referring to territories between the left bank of the Kura and the Greater Caucasus. Historically, Pliny the Elder distinguished between the Latin Udini (linked to Scythians) and the Uti, which complicates their direct identification[1]

Attested in Old Armenian as Ուտի (Uti).
