Aryan (/ɑːrjən/) is an English language word derived from the Sanskrit and Iranian terms ari-, arya-, ārya-, and/or the extended form aryāna-. The Sanskrit and Old Persian languages both pronounced the word as arya- (/ɑːrjə/) and aryan. Beyond its use as the ethnic self-designation of the Proto-Indo-Iranians, the meaning "noble/spiritual" has been attached to it in Sanskrit and Persian. In linguistics, it is sometimes still used in reference to the Indo-Iranian language family, but it is primarily restricted to the compound Indo-Aryan, the Indic subgroup of the Indo-Iranian branch.
Because of ethnolinguistic arguments about connections between peoples and cultural values, "Aryan" peoples were often considered to be distinct from Semitic peoples. By the end of the nineteenth century this usage was so common that "Aryan" was often used as a synonym for "gentile", and this popular usage persisted even after academic authors had ceased to use the term in any other meaning than "Indo-Iranian". Among White supremacists the term still sometimes functions as a synonym for non-Jewish "white person."

Arianism was a Christological view held by followers of Arius, a Christian priest who lived and taught in Alexandria, Egypt, in the early 4th century. Arius taught that God the Father and the Son were not co-eternal, seeing the pre-incarnate Jesus as a divine being but nonetheless created by (and consequently inferior to) the Father at some point, before which the Son did not exist. In English-language works, it is sometimes said that Arians believe that Jesus is or was a "creature;" in this context, the word is being used in its original sense of "created being."

With the exception of perhaps the Protestant Reformation, the various disagreements within the Christian Church have not held the same force and power of theological and political conflict as that which the Arian controversy exuded. The conflict between Arianism and the Trinitarian beliefs was the first major doctrinal confrontation in the Church after the legalization of Christianity by the Emperor Constantine I.

Arianism = a philosophy following the Alexandrian philosopher Arius, who asserted that Jesus was not fully God during his lifetime. Today, all parsings of Christianity which assert that Christ was not simultaneously all God during his lifetime can be heard as examples of "Arianism," although Arius was rather specific about Jesus as a created being serving God long before his incarnation.

It can be argued that the Roman Christians (who passed the Nicene Creed specifically targeted at Arianism) were actually targeting Gnosticism.

Arianism survived to this day among the Jehovah's Witnesses and many agnostics. Gnosticism has some elements remaining in the Coptic Church of Egypt.

There is a separate line of logic that says Jesus was a great prophet but not ever an incarnation or created being -- this is the standard view of Islam.

Well, the world arian means something about the 'ideal race.' Like Hitler wanting an arian society (blue eyes and blonde hair) and to get rid of jewish people. I guess the ISM makes it the practise of being arian lol.

Heretical doctrine taught by Arius that asserted the radical primacy of the Father over the Son

The doctrines of Arius, denying that Jesus was of the same substance as God and holding instead that he was only the highest of created beings, viewed as heretical by most Christian churches.
