Old Armenian
Etymology
Ačaṙyan leaves the origin open, remarking only that the similarity with Persian داشاد (dâšâd, “present, gift”) is accidental. According to Pʿerixanyan, from Iranian *tačata- (“swift; strong”), from *tak- (“to move, to be swift, to be strong”); compare Avestan 𐬙𐬀𐬑𐬨𐬀- (taxma-, “strong”) and Persian تهم (tahm, taham, “brave”). The name can also be derived hypocoristically from Iranian *Tačat-aspa- (“possessing swift horses”).
