My Y-DNA has me tracking the name "Hait" which has possible Armenian origins:
Hyde [Heydt]
>> The surname Heydt /Hait was first found in Bavaria where the name Heidt was anciently associated with the tribal conflicts of the area. They declared allegiances to many nobles and princes of early history, lending their influence in struggles for power and status within the region. They branched into many houses, and their contributions were sought by many leaders in their search for power. <<
>>mostly means 'rural dweller', "that of the heathland", whereby heath is nothing more than the wide, open land in contrast to the closed field<<
The other meaning Heide=paganus=heathen is a late medieval aberration.

"In any case, Anglo-Saxon use of
heathen followed that of their Continental cousins, the Goths. In the fourth century, the Goths’ bishop, Ulfilas (‘Wolfling’) had made his own Gothic translation, in which the Syrophenician woman in Mark 7:26 is called
haithno. That looks like
heathen, but the ingenious Norwegian philologist, Sophus Bugge (1833-1907), had a notion that Ulfilas borrowed the word
haithno from the Armenian version of the Gospels. And the Armenians had simply borrowed their own word from the Greek
ethnos."
“Heathen” comes by way of Bishop Ulfilas (aka Wulfila). In the late 300s he translated the New Testament from Greek into Gothic for the Visigoths. Many of his words spread to other Germanic languages, like English.
His heathen was
haithno. There are two ideas about how he came up with that word:
1. He gothicized the Greek
ethnos, possibly by way of the Armenian word
hethanos.
2. He modeled it on the Latin word
paganus (pagan). Pagan meant someone who lived in the countryside, but as the cities Christianized, it came to mean a non-Christian. Likewise, heathen was someone who lived on the heath, who was now seen as non-Christian.
