Ashot is Armenian in Origin.
Ashot is an Armenian masculine name of Iranian origin. Its recorded Armenian shape is Old Armenian Աշոտ, transliterated Ašot, already fixed in medieval historical writing. The source is generally taken to be a Middle Persian personal name glossed as vigorous; the final -t is part of the borrowed name rather than an Armenian suffix.
The name is especially associated with the Bagratuni dynasty: Ashot I was recognized as king of Armenia in 884/885, and later rulers included Ashot II Yerkat and Ashot III Voghormats. Georgian records adapted it as Ashoti, reflecting Armenian-Georgian dynastic contact. In modern usage it remains concentrated among Armenians and the diaspora; U.S. registrations are rare but have appeared more often in the 2020s.
| Ashot I of Armenia Ashot I of Armenia was a significant figure in Armenian history, known for founding the Bagratuni dynasty in the 9th century. He played a crucial role in re-establishing Armenian independence from Arab rule during his reign. |
