How are Armenian female names formed and how to choose the right one? List alphabetically and values. Armenian female names Armenian holy women

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on the character and fate of a person. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and state, strengthens health, removes various negative programs unconscious. But how do you pick the perfect name?

Despite the fact that there are interpretations in culture 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, making it difficult for the baby to form. Astrology and numerology of choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate through the ages.

Calendars of Christmas time, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

And the 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.

A variety of statistical characteristics are positive features of the name, negative traits name, choosing a profession by name, the impact of a name on business, the impact 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 tasks and the kind of a particular child.

The topic of compatibility of names (and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns inside out on interactions different people internal mechanisms of influence of the name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, the unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces to one false characterization the multidimensionality of human interaction.

The meaning of the name has no literal effect. 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, it will help another boy to solve problems for love or power, it will greatly facilitate life and achieve goals. The third boy may not bring 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 delusion. Despite the fact that 95% of boys are called names that do not make life easier. You can focus only on a specific child, deep vision and wisdom of a specialist.

Secret male name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed by a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys the child, then there would be no beautiful, melodious with a patronymic, astrological, blissful, it would still be harm, destruction of character, complication of life and aggravation of fate.

Although, according to the legend, the wedding did not take place, because during the wedding, Vahagn was informed about the attack on the borders of Armenia by enemy troops.

One Armenian linguist named Rachia Acharyan created a list of Armenian names in his time. The volume turned out to be huge - four volumes. This is not surprising: Armenian people over two thousand years. Since the word "Armenia" (more precisely, "Armina") appeared in the inscription of King Darius on the Behistun rock, much time has passed, and the number of names has only increased. In fact, the entire history of the Armenian people is reflected in national names.

We cannot reliably find out what children were called in ancient times. The writing of the Armenian people appeared in 406 thanks to the many years of efforts of Mesrop Mashtots. Prior to this, literate Armenians used the Persian and Greek alphabets. From legends and written sources in other languages, we know people who left their mark on history, whose names continue to be used in modern everyday life.

Several layers can be distinguished in the list of Armenian names:

All the names taken from other languages ​​are so heavily adapted by the Armenians that it is often difficult for a foreigner to distinguish the original name from the borrowing. Only the last category of names still retains traces of its origin. Interestingly, Turkish and Arabic names are very rare among Armenian names, although Armenians often had to communicate with these peoples, but sometimes not of their own free will.

National names

They began to take shape in those days when the Armenians did not yet exist as a separate people with their own self-consciousness. The society of the 1st millennium BC, which lived in the Armenian Highlands, was multi-ethnic. It was at this time, when the state of Urartu fell, and one conqueror, then another, walked around the country, that the Armenian community and language were consolidated.

This category is the names of gods and heroes, as well as those with which parents wanted to make their child happy. Armenian names of men often have solar symbolism, strength and nobility are often mentioned in them. Armenian names for girls were chosen differently: rare and beautiful for a foreigner, they were designed to evoke positive emotions those who know Armenian. The themes of female names are beauty, preciousness, purity, among them there are many "flower" names.

Period of Iranian rule

Iranian names began to penetrate into Armenia during the Achaemenid era. Later, the influence was due to the hegemony of Parthia in the region, then - Sasanian Iran. In the Middle Ages, Armenia was divided between Byzantium and Iran.

There are many royal names among Iranian names: almost the entire first legendary dynasty - the Yervandids - wore just such. According to Persian and Greek sources, these people were known as satraps - representatives of the regional authorities in the Achaemenid Empire.

The specificity of these names is that some of them were included in the number of Armenians many centuries before the adoption of Christianity, and are now recognized as primordially national.

From that era, legendary names have come down to the present, known from the time when Armenia did not yet exist. These include the female name Shamiram - the Armenian version of the Assyrian Shammuramat (that was the name of Queen Semiramis).

Influence of Christianity

Along with Christianity, a stream poured into Armenia Greek, Latin and Hebrew names. It cannot be said that they did not exist before: there was a fashion for names in this region, and such a phenomenon as Hellenism also affected the Armenians. But with the advent of a new faith that united the people, Christian names have become one of the most common. Often, in this capacity, calques of religious concepts were used, that is, a literal translation of complex words. Christian names have always been around, and here are some of them:

Trends of the XX century

Only a third of Armenians live in Armenia. The remaining two-thirds are in diasporas. Thanks to this, foreign ones also got into the number of Armenian names. This process was especially pronounced 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 in order to facilitate communication with people of other nationalities, they took local ones in the appendage, and thereby contributed to their spread among their people.

Sometimes the name became the surname of some important figure, and not an Armenian at all. Thus, the Telmans, Engels, Frunze and Kamo appeared among the Armenians. Sometimes foreign names adapted to the Armenian pronunciation. So, Isabella became Zabel, Sergey - Serzhik (although there is a name Sarkis of a similar origin).

From Western European Eduard, Robert, Arman, Eric, and women - Ophelia, Ermina, Susanna took root (although there is also a national analogue - Shushan).

There has been a trend towards universal names. In order to make a female name from a male name, the feminine ending -ui is added to it, for example, Varduhi. There are names that people of both sexes can carry, but there are few of them. These include the name Hayastan - "Armenia". But the name that came from the exoethnonym - Armen - is male. The female version will sound like "Armenuy".

Most often, Armenians have a surname ending in -yan.. This suffix is ​​similar to the Russian -in, which forms a possessive adjective. Simply put, the surname answers the question "whose?". The suffix -yants puts the surname in the genitive case, and it will answer the question "whose will you be?".

The most ancient surnames are those that end in the suffixes -unts and -uni. They date back to the times of the first dynasties of pre-Christian Armenia.

By origin, Armenian surnames can be divided into five categories:

Sometimes, by the name of the ancestor, which remained at the root of the surname, you can find out his nationality. So, the surnames Artashesyan, Bagramyan, Pahlavuni, Shakhnazarov speak of the Persian origin of the ancestor; surnames Kardashian, Kocharian, Shaginian - about Turkic.

The connection with the spiritual field is also indicated by the prefix Ter- before any surname. So, the ancestors of a person with the surname Terteryants, most likely, were priests, and Khatstukhyan were bakers.

Now Armenian surnames are transmitted by transcription, that is, their ending remains Armenian. But it was not always so. In Russia for a long time there was a tendency to Russify a surname or nickname, even if the carrier did not ask for it, and sometimes did not know at all. So, Khachikyan could become Khachinsky, and Ayvazyan really became Aivazovsky. Movses Khorenatsi, the first Armenian chronicler, also got it. In Russian historiography, he appeared as Moses Khorensky, although this was not his last name: the village where he was born was called Khoren.

Most Popular Names

Fashion for names exists everywhere, and Armenia is no exception. Behind last years the ten most common names look like this:

Male names:

Women's names:

It can be seen from the list that various options The name Maria is well-spread among the Armenian female names. Beautiful modern Mari, Maria (and Mary is also included in the top twenty) quite well coexist with traditional Mariam. Of the twenty most common female names in Armenia, seven are modern.

Armenian male names and their meanings are more traditional: boys are preferred to be given Christian or national names.

Origin of Armenian surnames

In ancient times, people did not have surnames. The population density was low, so names were rarely repeated.

With the increase in the number of people, the need arose to name a person in different ways. Several men named Aram or Garnik could live in one settlement. The way out was found.

At the mention of a person, his family affiliation was indicated - the son of Anahit, the grandson of Aram. But difficulties arose again.

Therefore, people in Armenia began to add the ending “yan” to their own name. This is how traditional military surnames were born.

There were several ways to form a surname:

  1. On behalf of the father with the addition of an ending.
  2. According to the type of human activity.
  3. Depending on the place of birth or residence.

Shirakatsi, Tatevatsi - versions indicating where a person was born. Magistros, Kertokh - surnames formed from professional affiliation.

Subsequently, the generic name given at birth began to be inherited.

Important! In ancient times, only representatives of a noble family wore surnames.

Until the 19th century, only given names were used. However, it is known from the pages of the Bible that during the reign of the Haykids, representatives of the Armenian nationality are found in religious history.

The tribes of the Janarians, Aguvans, Carmanians, Dzotians inhabited the territory of modern Armenia at that time.

Important! Historical background points to the first noble army surname - "azganun", which translates as "family name".

List of popular female names

Each name has a special meaning. When naming, the character of a person depends partly on the name received. Armenian versions sound very beautiful and melodious. Feminine versions of adverbs have been formed for centuries.

They can be divided by origin into 5 groups, which indicated distinctive features:

  2. Nobility of origin.
  3. Professional employment.
  4. Place of Birth.
