Armenian baby names

24 names with Armenian roots, each one with what it actually means. Hardly any of them show up in the US or England and Wales birth records, which says more about whose births those records count than about the names.

Our popularity figures come from US and England-and-Wales birth records, so a name common elsewhere shows as rare here.
