This is something that most Armenians wouldn't name their kids. The name comes from an alleged author of a history of St. Gregory (patron saint of Armenia) written after Armenia's conversion to Christianity in AD 301. The name seems to come from the Greek words 'Agathos Angelos' which means 'Holy Angel or messenger.' Most scholars believe it is a pseudonym and that Agathangeghos is a reference to the 'good news' which was sent to Armenia, but for those brave enough to name their child this, the correct spelling would be 'Agathangeghos', with the 'h' after the 't' (optional) and with the option of switching 'gh' with 'l.' Pronounced: A-ga-TAN'-ge-ghos

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
