Orontes I (Armenian: Երուանդ Ա Yervand I) Armenian King of Orontid Dynasty reigning in the period between 401 BC – 344 BC. The Persian version of the name is Auruand which meant Great Warrior in the Avestan language.It is likely this was a special title given by the Persian king to a chosen Armenian man though this seems to have become a hereditary title in that family.
