This is not a common name and in most circles would be considered extremely nationalistic. Avarayr is an ancient battleground, famous for being the site of the Armeno-Persian Battles of the 5th century. The brave warrior St. Vartan Mamigonian led the heroic knights 60,000 strong courageously into battle, in order to preserve Christianity in Armenia; 1,036 of them are commemorated as saints by the Armenian Church, from which we get many other popular Armenian names; Pronounced: A'-va-rayr
