  10. Origins of the word “Azerbaijan” • The origins of this name trace back as far as 2500 years. • Alexander (the great)'s ruler by the name of Atropat (Atoorpat), kept the territory from falling into the hands of the invaders. Thus, the land was named after him as "Atoorpatkan" (or Atropatena in ancient Greek writings). • Later, in Arabic pronunciation, Atoorpatkan got the spelling of Azerbaijan.
