According to Wikipedia the word "arya" first meant "noble" or "excellent" among Aryans...
...The fact might be, however, that Aryans called themselves "Arya" around 3000 BC.
But wait... They even happened to name north of India "Aryavarta" ("Land of the excellent ones")!
Now I don't know for you, but for me the Aryans used to think just like the typical Aries.
We're elite... You're not. : P
