'''Bagrevand''' (also spelled '''Bagrewand''') was a region of Armenia.
The Old Iranian etymology of the name is disputed. It is either derived from ''*bāγa.raivanta'' ("rhubarb garden") or ''baga-raēvanta-'', which either means "the rich giver" (Mithra) or "the bounteous God" (Ahura Mazda).{{sfn|Marciak|2017|pp=180–181}}
