Diodorus has histories about Assyrian king Ninus and his contemporary Armenian king Barzanes. Ninus is not attested in Assyrian sources neither Armenians do remember any Barzanes. Yet a term Barzanish seems to have existed in southern parts (Nairi) of historic Armenia. More interestingly it comes as Barzanishtun which would have a transparent Armenian etymology. House of Barzanes.
Another possible affiliated term is probably the Kulibarzini attested as a tribe of Nairi. And another but this time a personal name Utuburshini as a king of Diau. But this two latter terms could be unrelated to first one.
