Armenian given names often reflect the rich cultural and historical heritage of Armenia. Many names are derived from ancient Armenian words, historical figures, or religious contexts, particularly from the Armenian Apostolic Church. Common names include Aram, Anahit, and Tigran, each carrying unique meanings and significance. In addition to traditional names, modern Armenian parents may choose names from various cultures, reflecting globalization. Names can also be gender-specific, with distinct male and female forms. The practice of naming often includes honoring ancestors, making it a meaningful aspect of Armenian identity and family heritage.
