Armens (Armenian: Արմեններ, Առամեններ), were Armenian tribes, the people are usually referred to as Arman, Armenic. They correspond with the Hayasa-Azzi Tribes. The Armans united with the tribes of Hayasi. Recent linguistic studies present strong evidence that the Indo-European language group originates in Anatolia. [1] According to most accounts, the Armens were generally tall, blond-haired, and blue-eyed in appearance, in contrast to their Urartian cousins who tended to be slighter with black hair and black eyes.

Many ancient records mention the Urmen or Armen tribe of Armenians, who were native to the Armenian Highlands. The earliest dates to Akkadian inscriptions of Armani (aka Armani-Subartuin Northern Mesopotamia) locating them near Lake Van and near Lake Urmia. Another mention by the Egyptian Pharoah Thutmose III in the 1500's BC as the people of Ermenen, and says in their land "heaven rests upon its four pillars". Finally Old Persian name Armin, which meant "dweller of the garden of Eden" or the Aryan Irmin, which meant Great or Aryan Hermann, which meant Warrior in German. The Armens were camped near Lake Van, to the east of the Euphrates. An inscription of Menousas reveals the existence of a people known as the Urmani or Armeni, living near Lake Van and near Lake Urmia. The Armens seemed to have mixed blood with another Asiatic element whose patronymic Hai, became in time their national designation. The country where the Armens settled were a mountainous region, traversed by deep valleys and smiling plains.
The word Armani, (mentioned in Akkadian inscriptions as early as 2400 BC) an early form of Armen-Armin or Arman denotes the national affiliation, as with many cultures standing for the particular nation thus, the God AR being the primary deity in the Indo-European (aka Aryan) pantheon - thus AR MAN denotes -- Men of Ar or Children of Ar, again initially AR standing for ARAREL-ARARICH,the SUN or the GOD [hence Ar-Ar-At the Place of ARAR] -- Create-Creator, also Sun, Light, Life and Love.
