Etymology

From Middle Iranian (see Parthian 𐭅𐭓𐭉𐭇𐭓𐭌 ‎(Wahrām, “war god, god of victory”) and Middle Persian 𐭥𐭫𐭧𐭫𐭠𐭭 / 𐭥𐭠𐭧𐭫𐭠𐭬 ‎(Wahrām)), from Avestan 𐬬𐬆𐬭𐬆𐬚𐬭𐬀𐬖𐬥𐬀 ‎(Vərəθraγna, “smiting of resistance, victorious”), from Proto-Indo-Iranian *vṛ-tra-ghnas ‎(“smiting the cause of obstruction”). Related to Sanskrit वृत्रहन् ‎(vṛtrá-hán, “smiter of vṛtra, i.e. smiting the cause of covering/hiding”). In pre-Islamic Iran mythologically conflated with the Persian Gulf narrows (which oral tradition considered to be a remnant of the "obstruction" that was overcome by Verethragna), hence in Iranian folk etymology incorrectly identified with the toponym "Bahrain." Compare also Old Armenian Վահագն ‎(Vahagn).
