Hello dear Attila!
According to the Argonautica, Armenos was the navigator of Argo. When he died, the rest of the Argonauts made a tomb on/ around his body. During the burial ceremonies, they set the name of the region, to carry Armenos name, thus Armenia and the people living there to be called after him: Armenians.
Your question is what does his name Etymologically mean!
Well, Ar has to do with land, like the word "Arians"
Menos has several meanings.
But before going on to place them let us see what he really was: navigator, thus the one who can control/ find/ understand the earth! Thus, I would say: e) other!
