The concept of how to Aryanize was developed by the Nazis in the 1940's. To Aryanize something was to convert it to the Aryan language.
The original Aryan people were the predecessors of many races, from the Greeks, Latin, Celtic, Hindu, Teutonic, and Slavonic. The original Aryans date back as far as prehistoric times, living in Central Asia, east of the Caspian Sea and north of the Hindu Kush and Paropamasian Mountains. It is a wonder then that in modern times, when the word Aryan is used or something is 'aryanized,' the initial notion refers to someone who has blonde hair and blue eyes, such as the Nordic or Germanic mold.
This definition of an Aryan was created by the Nazi party in the 1940's, and was used to separate the 'pure breed' from those that, in their view, were impure and therefore required ethnic cleansing. Gypsies, Jews, and Blacks were among those selected for ethnic cleansing by the German Nazis, and under their leader, Adolph Hitler, spread a legacy of fear and violence across the world, one of the primary causes of World War II.
To aryanize something is to convert it to the Aryan language. It should be noted that this does not mean the Nordic or German languages but actually points directly to what are also now referred to as the Proto-Indo-European races, centralized in Iran and including the Persians. The word Aryan is descended from the Sanskrit language and its definition is "noble" or "spiritual," and initially the word Aryan was used to describe the entire people who spoke the Indo-European language.
It is easy to get confused and to mistake the word aryanize as a verb having something to do with converting to the principles of the Nazis, such as the Neo-Nazi movement. This is not correct. To Aryanize is to convert to the language of the Proto-Indo-Europeans. The language exists on its own and is referenced by both Persians and Iranians.
