Looking for that perfect Armenian name for your little one?

This list is here to help! 

I went on a mission to put together the ultimate list of Armenian baby names.

Now, you don’t need to browse tens of different baby name websites, books, or Facebook groups!  You have them all here in one place. 

When going through the list you might notice that some of the names aren’t particularly Armenian and are used in other cultures as well.

That’s because Armenian names reflect the country’s centuries-long history.

We have names that are unique to Armenian culture and carry a lot of tradition.

But we also adopted a lot of names from other (especially our neighbor) countries. 

If you want to dive deeper and find out the origin and meaning of the name you liked on the list, check out these separate lists of Armenian boy names with meanings and Armenian girl names with meanings.   

The names are sorted in alphabetical order. The list of boy names is first, so scroll down for the girl one. 

Popular Armenian Names 

Before the main list itself, let’s look at some of the most common Armenian names. All of these names are very popular in Armenia but will sound unique if you live elsewhere.

For the last decade, the most common Armenian names for boys have been Narek, Davit, Hayk, Tigran, Gor, and Armen. In recent years, the names Mark, Alex, and Aren have also gained popularity and are now in the top 10. 

As for the Armenian girl names, the most popular ones are Nare, Ani, Anahit, Nane, Mariam, and Arpi.  Elen, Mari, and Milena also top the charts and are considered modern Armenian names for girls. 

Old Armenian Names 

Armenia is an ancient country with rich culture and traditions!

And this is, of course, reflected in Armenian names. While some old Armenian names are less popular these days, many parents continue to choose them for the Armenian heritage they carry. 

Some of the uncommon names for boys are Aristakes (holy protector), Argam (he deserves it), Bagram (happiness for love), Patvakan (honor), Santur (holy light), and Garsevan (fire worshiper).

And these are some of the old Armenian names for girls Sate (real), Tukhtsam (with dark hair), Geghavars (with beautiful hair), Aghavni (dove), Aytsemnik (deer), Bambish (queen).

One Last Thing

Of course, this list isn’t exhaustive! With its history of over 3,000 years, our nation has thousands and thousands of names.

Some have been long forgotten and some are so unique that are only typical to remote Armenian villages.

In my list, however, I’ve included the most common, as well as unique and traditional Armenian names.

I hope it helps you in finding the one you love and choosing for your little bundle of joy!  

Your Turn

Let me know in the comments which one of these Armenian names you’ve never heard of but did like a lot!
