MEANING & HISTORY
What does Armen mean?
Armen is explicitly derived from the country name Armenia in the consulted name account. The Armenian-language country name is Hayastan, so Armen should not be presented as a literal translation of that word.
The geographical naming relationship is established even though the country name’s ultimate etymology is a separate question.
