from Aragon / relating to Aragon
Etymology
'Aragonian' originates from English, formed from 'Aragon' + the adjectival/demonymic suffix '-ian' (ultimately from Latin '-ianus' via Old French '-ien'). 'Aragon' in English derives from Spanish 'Aragón', from Medieval Latin 'Aragonia'.
'Aragonian' was created in English by adding the suffix '-ian' to the place-name 'Aragon'. The place-name evolved from Medieval Latin 'Aragonia' to Spanish 'Aragón' and then into English as 'Aragon'.
Initially the element referred to the place-name 'Aragon'; over time the derived form came to mean both a person from Aragon and anything relating to Aragon.
