Armenia is associated with the Caucasus, good wines and long, ornate toasts. The soil here is rocky, giving generous fruits to its inhabitants. Armenia is the ancient and great culture of Urartu, the heir of ancient Anatolia and the very first state that adopted Christianity. To this day, 95% of the entire population professes this particular faith.
Armenian male and female names are a mirror image of the history of a people who survived many conquerors and wandered around the world for a long time. Therefore, many names are borrowed, but adapted to own language. Interesting fact, that, despite being under the yoke of the Turks for a long time, the Armenians never adopted their names.
National characteristics
Some names in Armenia are given to both men and women, for example, Armen is masculine, and Armenui is feminine.
Most Armenian surnames end in “-yan” or “-yants” and reflect their belonging to a specific clan. For example, the beautiful Armenian male name Sargsyan - that is, from the Sarkis family.
The country still uses generic names, which are not indicated in official documents, but are used in everyday life. Such names are given according to the person’s occupation or nickname.
National names
This group includes names that were previously borne by gods, kings and generals. The most popular Armenian male names in this category include:
- Ashot. Translated as “the hope of this world.” But if interpreted according to Turkic etymology, the name means “not afraid of fire.” In the Middle Ages Ashot was very popular name, but with Islamization it practically disappeared from the languages of the Caucasus, remaining only among Christian Armenians. Boys with this name have leadership qualities, but are overly touchy. They have a good imagination and do nothing against their will.
- Vardan. There are many versions of the origin of this name. According to one of them, it appeared from the so-called Vardapet monks, and in this version it is translated as “reward”. Boys with such names are characterized as adherents of foundations and traditions, who have a hard time accepting something new. Men can be interested in archeology and history. They get married early and love their wives.
- Tigran. This name was borne by several Armenian kings and is present in the epic “Vipasank”. There is a version that it was nevertheless borrowed from the Persians and is translated as “possessing the strength of a tiger.” As a rule, these are inquisitive boys, but with age they become more sedate and ask less witty questions. At the same time, they remain quite emotional and open to the whole world. Depending on the situation, a man with this name can be as gentle as the most affectionate kitten and strong as a tiger. Usually, regardless of the chosen field of activity, Tigranes achieve success.
Derived names
This is a fairly large group of Armenian male names, derived from the name precious stones, planets, holidays and stars. For example, Arev – in the mythology of ancient Armenians is the personification of the Sun. Shown as young man, which emits light. In a figurative sense, the name means “life.”
There are names that are derived from descriptive characteristics of flora and fauna, from common nouns. They were given with the goal of seeing certain qualities in the child in the future, that is, they were chosen completely consciously. For example, Patvakan, that is, “venerable”, Zhirayr – “glib”. The name Garnik - “sacrificial” or “led to fire”, has no analogues in other languages.
A number of names have the ending “-air”, which means “man”. An adjective is placed before the ending, which should characterize the bearer of the name. But such names are becoming less and less common.
Borrowed
The three-thousand-year history of the people has greatly expanded the list of Armenian male names. First of all, these are the names of common Christian saints - David and Solomon. There are many analogues adapted into the Armenian way, for example, Johann became Hovaness.
Some names are not taken from the Bible, but have religious implications. For example, Khachatur is translated as “sent down by the Holy Cross,” and Arakel is “apostle.” There are many names adopted from the Persians, for example Suren.
An interesting borrowing occurred during the period when Armenia was part of the USSR. Diminutive forms of Russian names have taken root in the country: Yurik, Volodya, Zhora. At the same time, names appeared that bore famous people world, even their names – Karl, Roosevelt and Engels. And during the period when the borders of the state opened, names characteristic of peoples began to appear Western Europe: Hamlet, Henry and Edward.

Meaning of Armenian Names
Issues related to the origin and transformation of names and surnames are studied by a science called onomastics. At the birth of a child, parents give him one name or another to distinguish him from other people.
Names arose early in humankind and were mostly derived from common nouns. Previously, in ancient times, people were called meaningful names that corresponded to their external quality, or those that expressed the desire to see a person in the future endowed with certain qualities.
For example, an Armenian name Rachia means " fiery eyes», Zarmair - « noble man", Zorair - "a man endowed with strength." Many male Armenian names will form like this: before the word “ayr” - (“man” - Arm.) a characterizing adjective is added. Also female names, before the word - dukht (“daughter” - Arm.), the father’s name is added and a new name is obtained. For example, Vormizdukht, Aykandukht, etc.
For many peoples, names arose from the names of various totems - deified animals, plants, natural phenomena. Some of the Armenian names also come from the names of animals, birds, plants ( Garnik, Aitzemnik, Akhavni, Artsvik, Shushan, Nargiz, Eznik, Manushak, Hasmik, Tsakhik etc.), but are not associated with their deification, as, for example, is customary among the aborigines of the Samoan islands in the Pacific Ocean. When a child is born, they pronounce the names of different totems, and the name pronounced at the very moment of birth becomes the name of the child. Armenian names of this nature are mainly an expression of strength, beauty, tenderness, etc.
In the ancient East, there were personal names made up of the names of gods, just like the Armenians, for example, Artamazd, Anahit, etc. When Christianity began to spread, the names mentioned in the Old and New Testaments came into use. However, peoples with a developed culture have retained their ancient names. Christian names spread among almost all European peoples. But each of these peoples transformed in their own way. For example, the name “Johannes” became Giovanni for the Italians, Jean for the French, Jan for the Poles, John for the English, Ivan for the Russians, Juan for the Spaniards, and Hovhannes for the Armenians, retaining the sound closest to the original. The names Karen, Abel, Eve, Lazar, etc. also entered our everyday life.
To distinguish between female and male Armenian names, you can use the rule according to which a suffix or ending is added to the word that determines the gender, “ui” - female gender (for example: Srbui), “air” - m. gender (for example : Norayr). But not all names can be classified according to this type.
There are names derived from Armenian toponyms (Hayastan, Ararat, Ani, Vanik, Vanui, Nairi, Nairui, Naira, Sisak, Araksi, Masis, Taron, Mushegh, etc.). A number of Armenian names reflect religious content, and are translations of foreign Christian names:
Harutyun - resurrection,
Khachatur - sent down by St. Cross,
Arakel - apostle,
Astvatsatur - sent by God, etc.
All listed names are translated from Greek.
There are also newly formed names with religious content:
Ambartsum - ascension,
Galust is a phenomenon
Srbui - saint,
Avetis - good news,
Mkrtich - baptist, etc.
Many names reflect the external and internal dignity of a person:
Zhirayr is lively,
Patvakan - venerable,
Amest - modest,
Nazan - tender, graceful,
Gehetskui is a beauty,
Makrui - clean, etc.
Some names, although foreign in origin, nevertheless, having changed, became Armenian (Eghishe, Vagram, Ruzan, Seda, etc.). And there are names that, despite the fact that they are also used by other peoples, are nevertheless recognized as Armenian (Ruben, Samvel, Levon, David, etc.).
Learning Armenian names special attention devoted to Rachia Acharyan, who compiled a unique five-volume “Dictionary of Armenian Personal Names”. Armenians are very lucky because few peoples have the opportunity to completely and fundamentally find the origin of their names. And if you listen carefully to exclusively euphonious and meaningful Armenian personal names, then without special effort you can understand the meaning contained in them:
Arevik - Sunshine,
Astghik - star,
Azat - free,
Arpi - dawn,
Razmik is a warrior,
Drakht is paradise,
Martik is a warrior,
Zepyur is a breeze, etc.
Origin of Armenian surnames
Surname (“azganun” - Armenian) - in Armenian means the name of the clan. But initially there were no generic names, because people lived in small groups, isolated, and everyone knew each other well. Well, if it happened that several Arams or several Anahits lived in one settlement, then they were identified in different ways: for example, Aram, the grandson of Garnik, or Aram, the grandson of Hayk. Or they always found some characterizing feature, for example, the lame Amayak or Anahit, who has ten children.
FEMALE NAMES
________________________________________________
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?
Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what different Armenian words mean male names, in reality, the influence of the name on each boy is individual.
Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.
Calendars of Christmastide and holy people, without consulting a seeing, insightful specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.
And lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.
Various characteristics according to statistics - positive traits name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, life goals and the type of a particular child.
The topic of name compatibility (and not people’s characters) is an absurdity that turns interactions inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.
The meaning of the name has no literal impact. For example, Vigen (strong), this does not mean that the young man will be strong, and the bearers of other names will be weak. The name can block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another boy will be helped to solve problems of love or power, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.
The most popular Armenian names for boys in 2015 are also a misconception. Despite the fact that 95% of boys are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on a specific child, the deep vision and wisdom of a specialist.
The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.
Below are several hundred male Armenian names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .
