Etymology
From Middle Persian hwnl (hunar), Manichaean Middle Persian hwnr (hunar, “virtue, ability, skill”), from Old Persian 𐎢𐎺𐎴𐎼 (ʰuvnara, “talent, capability”), ultimately from Proto-Indo-European *h₁su- (“good”) and *h₂nḗr (“man; power, force, vital energy”).
Cognate with Manichaean Parthian hwnr (hunar, “virtue, skill”), Old Armenian հնար (hnar, “means, way”) (from Iranian), Avestan [script needed] m (hunara-, “skill, strength”), Sanskrit सूनर (sū-nára, “possessing vital strength, mighty, prosperous, beautiful”). Compare also formally identical formations in other Indo-European languages: Old Irish so-nirt, so-nairt (“strong”), Welsh hy-nerth (“mighty”), Ancient Greek εὐ-ήνωρ (eu-ḗnōr, “manly”).
