Note from Wikipedia : the origin of the word "hero". Orest Miller and others believed that this word was borrowed from Indo-Iranian languages ( from Sanskrit bhagadhara (with happiness, good)), as a consequence, the Russian "hero" also goes back to pariscom the beginning. Schepkin, Buslaev direct output "hero" of "God" through the "rich". Mongolian word (sovr. Mong. Baatar) is borrowed from Sanskrit. The assumption of borrowing of the word "hero" from Turkic or Mongolian language is not accepted by the Russian scientists. This word use it into other words in the Russian language, khorobrikh (replaced later under the book the influence of the Church.-Slav. the word brave), harobor, chorover, resvez, heart of oak. However, the word "hero" is the first time in the book of Cernicova published without indication of place in 1585, "Descriptio veteris et novae Poloniae cum divisione ejusdem veteri et nova", where it says, "Rossi... de heroibus suis, id est quos Bohatiros semideos vocant, aliis persuadere conantur".
