If you're referring to the period of Nazism, it means that they had to be non-Jewish Caucasians. Hitler preferred his Aryans to be tall, slender, and muscular. However, the main emphasis for Aryans was placed on ancestry. For one to be considered an Aryan, they had to have several generations of German ancestors.

Aryanization refers to the forced transfer of Jewish-owned businesses to German "Aryan" ownership. The Aryanization process had two stages: the so-called "voluntary" stage, from which Jews were excluded from German economic life, and the compulsory stage that began immediately after Kristallnacht. In this final stage, all Jewish-owned businesses that had not already been "Aryanized" were liquidated within a few weeks and transferred to a government trustee. Jews who fled were forced to "donate" their remaining property to the state. The Association of 'German' Aryan Clothing Manufacturers - was established in Berlin under the Reich Ministry of Economy to direct the Aryanization of the fashion industry. The ADEFA label in German clothing guaranteed the buyer that the garment had been manufactured "by Aryan hands only." Ironically, Magda Goebbels and Emmy Goring wives of highly placed Nazi officials, continued to buy from their favourite Jewish designers until official Aryanization in the late 1930s made it impossible. Even after Aryanization had begun, the Nazis placed orders for uniforms with Jewish manufacturers. By 1939, however, all areas of clothing manufacture were "Judenrein" free of Jews. Jews received little or no compensation in the expropriation of their property and businesses. Even after the war most of these forced transfers were not overturned or compensated.
