How do Armenian baby boy names reflect Armenian culture and history?

Armenian baby boy names are often inspired by historical figures who have played a significant role. For instance, names like Tigran and Vardan honor the king Tigranes the Great and the military commander Vardan Mamikonian respectively. Moreover, Armenia was the first state to adopt Christianity as its official religion (1). Hence, names like Hovhannes (a variation of John) and Grigor (a variation of Gregory) reflect this countrys Christian tradition. The cultural traditions and customs of the Armenian Apostolic Church also reflect in the baby names of the country. Names like Sarkis/Sargis and Vartan are used to honor the Christian saints.

What is the impact of globalization on Armenian baby boy names?

International cultural exchange has opened a world of new names in Armenia. Names like Eduard (rich guard), Daniel (God is my judge), Artur (bear), Henrik (home ruler), Mark (male), and Leo (lion) from other languages like English, French, and German have found a way into Armenian culture.

What are the current trends in Armenian baby boy names?

Baby boy names with shorter syllables have found a modern appeal in recent years. Names like Aram (name of an ancient ancestor), Levon (lion), Tigran (name of an Armenian king), and Alek (defending men) are easy to pronounce and spell while having significant meanings as well. Moreover, biblical names like Gabriel (God is my strong man) and Davit (beloved) are famous. Other names like Arax (the name of an Armenian river), Arev (sun), and Ashot (world, universe) refer to nature and are appealing because they are short. New parents also find international names or names rooted in historical traditions apt for their babies. However, such trends keep changing, and each family may have different reasons to choose a particular name.
