Armenia is an ancient country in the Caucasus region, small yet significant.
Armenia was one of the first countries to adopt Christianity, and so it is imbued with a rich history, as many people and cultures have lived there. For this reason, Armenian names are beautiful and have many meanings. You might have noticed a lot of Armenian surnames end in 'ian', like the Kardashians. This is because 'ian' signifies possession or belonging.
An Armenian name can be really popular, some referring to ancient Gods and Goddesses, while some are really unique and only found in certain areas. Whether popular, sweet or unique, there are plenty of names to be inspired by. We have some names Armenian people love that are sweet, wonderful and historical.
An Armenian name can have many dimensions to them and often their meanings are associated with locations, biblical female names, biblical male names, aristocratic Armenian names for boys and girls, and personality traits.
