Armenian names often reflect the rich cultural heritage and history of Armenia. They typically consist of a given name followed by a patronymic, which is derived from the father's name, often ending in "-ian" or "-yan." For example, the name Aram can become Aramyan when indicating lineage. Many Armenian names have meanings related to nature, virtues, or historical figures. Common names include Ani, which means "brilliance," and Tigran, named after the famous Armenian king Tigranes the Great. These names not only identify individuals but also connect them to their ancestry and cultural identity.
