Diminutive form of 'Khachadoor', meaning 'Bearer of the Cross.' Pronounced: KHA'-chig. The 'kh' sound here is like the 'ch' in the German 'ach.' Sometimes the 'ch' is rendered 'tch' (Khatchig) in order to ensure that a hard 'ch' sound (as in 'cheese') is pronounced, rather than a soft 'ch' (for example, 'machine').
Almost exclusively used to describe the Fifth Century philosopher Theologian Eznik (Yeznik), whose full name is known as 'Yeznik Goghpatsi' or 'Yeznik of Kolb'.

Not just any saint, but St. Mesrop Mashdots, the founder of the Armenian alphabet in AD 404-406. Alternative spelling: Mesrob (Pronounced: MES'-rob). 'Mashdots' (Pronounced: MASH'-dots) is also a fairly common boys' name: 'o' as in 'over.'

Pronounced: NUSH'-an ('nush' rhyming with 'push'). In Armenian script you wouldn't need a vowel between the 'n' and 'sh' letters, it would be understood that an 'u' would be there; in transliteration, an 'i' is written so that English speakers can pronounce it and in order to avoid it being pronounced NOO'-shan. The 'i' should not be pronounced as an 'ee' like all the other 'i' vowels.

St. Sahag the Parthian was Catholicos (head of the Armenian Church) at the time when St. Mesrob Mashdots created the Armenian alphabet. The Old Testament translations of the Armenian Bible render 'Isaac' as 'Isahag' (Pronounced: I'-sa-hag).

Not just any king, King Tiridates who declared Armenia a Christian nation: major point in history. 'Tiridates' is the Romanized form of the name; You might prefer to use 'Terdat' or 'Dertad' (Pronounced: DUR'-tad, rhymes with 'fur pot') which is the Armenian version of the name.

Pronounced: VAR'-tan. While the actual name might mean something like 'giver of roses,' this hardly does justice to one of the bravest and fiercest knights of Armenian History, the great St. Vartan Mamigonian, commander of the knights at the Battle of Avarayr in 451 AD. To give you an idea of how culturally important Vartan is to our people, just as the Italians have the Knights of Columbus, we have the Knights of Vartan.

Thought to be the name of an Armenian king, although he might have been a prince. Alternative spelling: Yervand. Pronounced: YER'-vant
Coming from the word 'Dzer' meaning 'old,' it means wise in the sense of being elderly and wise; The story of Christ's Presentation at the temple has 'Simeon the Elder' as 'Dzerouni Simeon.' 'Z' just doesn't do justice to the sound we need here; It should be rendered 'Dzeroun' or 'Dzeroon' (Pronounced: DZE'-roon).
