Armen is Armenian in Origin.

Armen is a masculine given name of Armenian origin, closely tied to the ethnonym and the country name Armenia. In Classical Armenian (Արմեն, Armen), it signifies “Armenian” or “of Armenia,” and some traditions link it to the legendary forebears Aram and Armenak (Aramaneak) recorded by the historian Movses Khorenatsi. As a personal name it has long connoted belonging, homeland, and cultural pride.

Documented from medieval sources and enduring into the present, Armen remains widespread in Armenia and throughout the diaspora. Notable bearers include economist Armen A. Alchian, composer Armen Tigranian, and journalist Armen Keteyian. Variants and related forms include the feminine Armenuhi/Armenouhi, diminutives such as Armik and Armenak, and the Armenian spelling Արմեն. Names often mistaken as equivalents are Arman (Persian, “ideal; aspiration”) and Armin or Armand (Germanic/Romance lines), which are etymologically distinct.
