Although the Nazis have given it a bad name, I prefer the so-called Aryan
race to be spelled with a 'y' to differentiate between the religious sect of
Arians and Arianism, which is important in European history.

Note several uses for the word
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arian

Aryan: an English language word derived from Sanskrit and Iranian
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aryan
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aria_%28satrapy%29

Arianism's major theological point: the Son of God was not eternal, and was
subordinate to God the Father
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arianism
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arius

Of course, the religious issues created an incredible amount of problems in
Europe.
