Etymology
From Middle Iranian, Akin to Middle Persian ʾwlwʾc- (urwāz-, “rejoice”).

The reading هرواج is a restoration of برواج, with a wrong meaning in Persian lexicons due to existence of two homophone word in Middle Persian (and probably early New Persian) for the meaning of "raining" and "rejoicing".
