It's called Iran....
"Aryan" (/ˈɛəriən, ˈɛərjən, ˈær-/) or is a term meaning "noble", which was used as a self-designation by Indo-Iranian people. The word was used by the Indic people of the Vedic period in India as an ethnic label for themselves and to refer to the noble class as well as the geographic region known as Āryāvarta, where Indo-Aryan culture was based. The closely related Iranian people also used the term as an ethnic label for themselves in the Avesta scriptures, and the word forms the etymological source of the country name Iran.
The atrocities committed in the name of this racial ideology have led academics to avoid the term "Aryan", which has been replaced, in most cases, by "Indo-Iranian". The term now only appears in the context of the "Indo-Aryan languages".
It has been postulated the Proto-Indo-European root word is *haerós with the meanings "members of one's own (ethnic) group, peer, freeman" as well as the Indo-Iranian meaning of Aryan.
Derived from it were words like
the Hittite prefix arā- meaning member of one's own group, peer, companion and friend;
Old Irish aire, meaning "freeman" and "noble"
Gaulish personal names with Ario-
Avestan airya- meaning Aryan, Iranian in the larger sense
Old Indic ari- meaning attached to, faithful, devoted person and kinsman
Old Indic aryá- meaning kind, favourable, attached to and devoted
Old Indic árya- meaning Aryan, faithful to the Vedic religion.
