Little man who has just entered our world, you need to meet him correctly, give him all your care and attention and, of course, give him a name. The Armenian people are very sensitive to what name their child will receive. And deciding what to name your future man is a very responsible matter.

Armenian boy names and their meanings

Almost all have their own special meaning. Each of them is the personification of one or another human quality, endows its owner with certain advantages. Real Armenian boy names carry a special gift. According to the Armenians themselves, it is thanks to the correctly chosen name little man can become a fighter for justice and for peace, can be loyal, wise, strong and powerful. In addition, it is worth highlighting their unique melodic sound. This is what sets them apart from the huge variety of names that other nations give their children.

Influence of religion

Throughout long history of the Armenian people, parents choosing a name for their heir invested a certain meaning and meaning into it. Armenian names for boys are their faces, which they will eventually show to the whole planet. That is why the child’s name was not chosen by just one person; the whole family thought about this issue.

Most of all, the Armenian people value such qualities as dignity and nobility. Those who wish to impart these character traits to this day call their heirs with names such as Agram (meaning worthy) and Aram (meaning noble).

Religion also had its influence on names in Armenia. After this people adopted Christianity, names such as Ervand (meaning - holy faith), Atom (meaning - divine spirit), Arakel (meaning - apostle) and Ambartsum (meaning - ascension) spread. These Armenian boy names are still popular today. Modern parents are not at all opposed to their son’s name having a spiritual note. These are even among those Armenian families who have no longer lived in their native country for a long time.

Tribute to tradition

The Armenian people have always honored and continue to honor their ancient traditions. That is why many newborns receive those Armenian boy names that appeared back in the days when the pagan faith existed. Of course, Christianity influenced the meaning of these names over time, and they were slightly rethought. Meanwhile, the basis still remained unchanged - Vahagn. Lightning, the omnipresent fire, also bore this name. Until now, boys are called Argishti (meaning - worthy of love), Vadvan (meaning - loving the country), Arshak (meaning - life-giving sun). These names were given to children in times when the country lived in peace, joy and love. However, in wartime, turbulent times, the sons of Armenia received other names - Vakhan (meaning - protector) and Vardges (meaning - lion of the country). This is how the destinies of people were intertwined with the history of the state. Man made history, history gave people names.

What are boys called in Armenia now?

Now there are various Armenian names for boys, modern and with history. A man in Armenia can be named after a distant ancestor, or he can receive a name that was borrowed from another country, from any corner of our world. Today, Armenian parents decide what to name their child based on several criteria.

First of all, the Armenian people still greatly value and respect the traditions of their ancestors. This is why most families continue to turn to special name dictionaries when deciding what to name their child. One of the most popular is the five-volume work of Rachia Acharyan (“Dictionary of Armenian Personal Names”). It is this book that allows us to understand how huge the choice actually is. However, Armenian families turn to this work not because they get a wide choice, but because it is in it that one can learn a lot about the special and deep meaning that Armenian names for boys have. Most families in Armenia are sure that they need to know as much as possible about the name, it is important to feel its power, to have an idea of ​​what qualities they endow their newborn with.

However, traditions do not prevent them from giving their sons beautiful Armenian ones, which were borrowed from other nations. Thus, Davids (meaning the favorite of heaven), Arsens (meaning a noble warrior), Marks, Daniels and Erics are increasingly being born.

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 unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what different Armenian male names mean, 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.

Christmastide calendars of holy people, without the consultation of 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 features 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.

How do Armenians choose names?

The Armenians believed that a name could influence the fate and character of a person and therefore they approached its choice very responsibly. All Armenian names are meaningful, euphonious and melodic.

Among the Armenian names there are many Persian, Arabic, Turkic, Slavic, Old Testament and other names.

During times Soviet Union Armenians began to often use Russian-language names, especially in their diminutive distorted forms: Zhora, Valod, Yurik, Serozh, Alyosha, as well as Western European ones: Edward, Robert, Henry, Hamlet, Juliet, Flora. Appeared among the Armenians and Persian names: Abraham, Gurgen, Suren, Movses, Khosrov. During the same period, children were often named after famous people. This is how the Thälmanns, Karls, Engels, Roosevelts, Frunzes and Kamos appeared. But when children with such names grew up, many of them decided to change their name.

Many Armenian names are suitable for both men and women: Arshaluys, Erdzhanik, Hayastan, Nubar, Grachia. Some names are found in both feminine and masculine forms: Arman - Armanui, Anushavan - Anush, Vard - Vardui.

Armenian voices for both boys and girls are very beautiful in sound, and although their pronunciation causes surprise among others, it attracts attention. Name your children beautifully!

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 oldest and great culture 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 their 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.

Still used in the country family 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. To the most popular Armenian male names This category includes:

• 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 names of 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. The diminutive has taken root in the country endearments Russian names: 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.
