The name Adarnase derives from Middle Persian "Ādurnarsēh", with the second component of the word ("Nase") being the Georgian attestation of the Middle Persian name "Narseh", which ultimately derives from Avestan "nairyō.saŋya-". The Middle Persian name "Narseh" also exists in Georgian as "Nerse". The name "Ādurnarsēh" appears in the Armenian language as "Atrnerseh".
