Gaik is Armenian in Origin.
Gaik is a masculine given name used chiefly among Armenians, especially in Russian-speaking settings, where it represents a Russified transliteration of the Armenian Hayk (Հայկ). Hayk is the name of the legendary patriarch Hayk Nahapet, regarded as the eponymous ancestor of the Armenian people; as such, the name conveys the sense “Armenian/of the people of Hayk” rather than a transparent lexical meaning. The Gaik spelling became widespread in the 20th century across the USSR and diaspora records and is borne by numerous Armenian scientists, artists, and athletes.
Variants and related forms include Gayk (transliteration), Hayk/Haik (Eastern Armenian), and Haig (common in Western Armenian and English); the affectionate form Hayko also occurs. There is no standard feminine counterpart. Gaik should not be confused with Gagik (Գագիկ), a separate Armenian royal name, nor with the Polish surname Gaik from gaj “grove,” an unrelated homonym.
