Armenian female names. Men's Armenian names and values \u200b\u200b- the choice of the best name for the boy the most beautiful Armenian names

One Armenian List named Racha Acharyan created a list of Armenian names in his time. The volume turned out to be huge - four volumes. It does not surprise: Armenian people are more than two thousand years. Since then, the word "Armenia" (more precisely, "Armina") appeared in the inscriptions of the king Darius on the Behistunskaya rock, a lot of time flowed, and the number of names only increased. In fact, the entire history of the Armenian people has reflected in national names.

We cannot reliably find out how children called in antiquity. Writing from the Armenian people appeared in 406 due to the many years of efforts of Mesrop Mashtots. Before that, the competent Armenians used the Persian and Greek alphabet. From legends and written sources in other languages, we know people who left their mark in history whose names continue to be used in modern use.

In the list of Armenian names, several layers can be distinguished:

All names taken from other languages \u200b\u200bare adapted by Armenians so much that a foreigner is often difficult to distinguish the original name from borrowing. Only the last category of names while retains traces of its origin. Interestingly, among Armenian names, there are very rare - Turkish and Arabic, although the Armenians had to communicate with these peoples often, but sometimes not in their will.

National names

They began to develop in those timesWhen Armenians did not exist as a separate people with their self-awareness. The Millennium I Millennium Society BC, who lived in Armenian Highlands, was poly ethnic. It is at this time that the state of the Urart fell, and in the country I walked that one conqueror, then the other, the Armenian community and language consolidated.

This category is the names of the gods and heroes, as well as those with which parents wanted to make their child happy. Armenian men names often have a solar symbolism, often in them is mentioned and nobility. In a different way, Armenian names for girls were chosen: rare and beautiful for a foreigner, they were called upon to cause positive emotions from those who know Armenian. The themes of female names are beauty, jewel, cleanliness, among them a lot of "floral" names.

The period of Iranian rule

Iranian names Began to penetrate Armenia during the era of the achemenides. Later, the influence was due to the hegemony of Parphy in the region, then - Sassanid Iran. In the Middle Ages, Armenia was divided between Byzantia and Iran.

Among Iranian names is a lot of royal: almost the entire first legendary dynasty - Ervandida - wearing such. According to Persian and Greek sources, these people have been known as satrapy - representatives of the regional authorities in the empire of the achemenides.

The specifics of these names are that some of them are among the Armenian in many centuries before the adoption of Christianity, and are now recognized as the original national.

From that era to modern times, legendary names have reached, known since those times when Armenia has not yet been. This can be attributed to the female name Shamiram - Armenian version of Assyrian Shammuramat (so called the Queen of Semiramid).

Effect of Christianity

Together with Christianity in Armenia poured a stream greek, Latin and Jewish names. It is impossible to say that they were not before: in this region there was a fashion for names, and such a phenomenon, as Hellenism, touched upon Armenians. But with the arrival of a new faith, which united the people, Christian names became one of the most common. Often in this capacity were used tractures of religious concepts, that is, the literal translation of complex words. Christian names were always on hearing, and here are some of them:

The XX century trees

Only a third of Armenians live in Armenia. The remaining two-thirds - in diasporas. Thanks to this, foreign and foreign names are among Armenian names. Especially strongly this process was expressed in the last century, when many Armenians became significant figures in politics, culture and business in different countries. Often they wore quite traditional names, but to facilitate communication with people of other nationalities, they took the local appendage, and thus contributed to their distribution among their people.

Sometimes the name was the name of some important figure, and not Armenian was not at all. So among the Armenians appeared telmans, Engels, Frunze and Kamo. Sometimes foreign names adapted to Armenian pronunciation. So, Isabella began her, Sergey - Serzhik (although there is a similar name for the origin of Sarkis).

From Western European Eduard, Robert, Arman, Eric, and Women's - Ophelia, Ermin, Susanna (although there is a national analogue - Shushan).

The trend towards universal names was noted. In order to make a female male name, the end of the female genus is added to it, for example, Wardui. There are names that can wear both sexes, but such little. These include the name of Ayastast - "Armenia". But the name that happened from Exoatenonim - Armen - Male. The female option will sound like "Armenui".

Most often, Armenians have the surname ending in --yan. This suffix is \u200b\u200bsimilar to Russian -in, forming a presumptive adjective. Simply put, the last name answers the question "Whose?". Sufifix -yans puts the last name to the genital case, and she will answer the question "whose will you?".

The most ancient surnames are those that end on suffixes -unts and -eni. They go back to the days of the first dynasties of the Doharistian Armenia.

By the origin of the name Armenians can be divided into five categories:

Sometimes by the name of ancestor, which remained in the root of the surname, you can find out its nationality. Thus, the names of Artashesyan, Bagramyan, Pakhlavuni, Shakhnazarov talk about the Persian origin of ancestor; Surname Kardashian, Kocharian, Shaginyan - About Turkic.

The connection with the spiritual field is also indicated by the prefix terror, before any surname. So, the ancestors of a person with the name of Terterianz, most likely, were priests, and Khatuchyan - bakeries.

Now Armenian surnames are transmitted by transcription, that is, their ending remains Armenian. But it was not always so. In Russia, a long time was a tendency to Russification of the surname or nickname, even if the carrier did not ask for this, and sometimes it did not know at all. So, Khachikyan could become Khachinsky, and Aivazyan really became Aivazovsky. I went to Movses Horani, the first Armenian chronicler. In domestic historiography, he appeared as Moses Harensky, although it was not his last name: the village where he was born, called Horene.
