What is the meaning of the name Haik ?

The baby name Haik is a Male name , 1 syllables long and is pronounced /haɪk/ (pronounced like 'hike').

Haik is Armenian in Origin.

Haik (Armenian: Հայկ, transliterated Hayk) is a classic Armenian masculine name. It derives from Hay, the self-designation of Armenians, plus the diminutive suffix -ik, yielding a sense like "little Hay/Armenian" or, by extension, "son of the Armenian people." In Armenian legend, Hayk Nahapet is the eponymous forefather and archer who slew the tyrant Bel; from him come the ethnonym Hay and the country name Hayastan. Because of this heroic association, the name conveys ideas of origin, leadership, and defiance.

Documented throughout medieval chronicles and continuously used in Armenia and the diaspora, Haik has seen periodic revivals during cultural nation-building in the 19th to 20th centuries and remains popular today. Common variants and spellings include Hayk, Haik, and the Western Armenian/Anglicized Haig (also Hayg). Diminutive forms include Hayko. Related derivatives include Haigaz/Haikaz ("of Haik").
