Bagrevand
Template:Short description Template:More citations needed
Bagrevand (also spelled Bagrewand) was a region of Armenia.
The Old Iranian etymology of the name is disputed. It is either derived from *bāγa.raivanta ("rhubarb garden") or baga-raēvanta-, which either means "the rich giver" (Mithra) or "the bounteous God" (Ahura Mazda).Template:Sfn
