Full context:   The Pali term ariya aṭṭhaṅgika magga (Sanskrit: āryāṣṭāṅgamārga) is typically translated in English as 'Noble Eightfold Path'. This translation is a convention started by the early translators of Buddhist texts into English, just like ariya sacca is translated as 'Four Noble Truths'. However, the phrase does not mean the path is noble, rather that the path is of the noble people (Pali: ariya, meaning 'enlightened, noble, precious people'). The term magga (Sanskrit: mārga) means 'path', while aṭṭhaṅgika (Sanskrit: aṣṭāṅga) means 'eightfold'. Thus, an alternate rendering of ariya aṭṭhaṅgika magga is 'eightfold path of the noble ones', or 'Eightfold Ariya Path'.
