Armenia is in Origin.

Armenia is a rare feminine given name taken from the country name. The toponym entered English via Latin Armenia from Greek Armenia, ultimately reflecting Old Persian Armina, the satrapy named in the Behistun inscription. As a personal name, it means from or pertaining to Armenia - essentially Armenian land - and often evokes heritage or admiration for the Caucasus nation.

Usage is sporadic in English-speaking records from the 18th–19th centuries, alongside the fashion for place-based names like Virginia and Georgia; it also occurs in Iberian and Latin American contexts, helped by the Colombian city called Armenia. Variants and related forms include Armênia/Arménia (Portuguese spellings) and Armenia in Spanish and Italian; Armenian cognates include Armine and Armenuhi/Armenouhi, while masculine counterparts are Armen and Armenio/Arménio. The name’s sense is geographic and ethnocultural rather than lexical, yielding a distinctive, dignified choice with clear cultural resonance.
