What is the meaning of the name Khajik ?

The baby name Khajik is a Male name , 2 syllables long and is pronounced /xɑˈtʃik/ (khah-CHEEK).

Khajik is Armenian in Origin.

Khajik is an Armenian masculine name, a transliteration of Khachik (Armenian: Խաչիկ). It derives from Old/Middle Armenian khach “cross” plus the diminutive suffix -ik, yielding the sense “little cross” or “devoted to the Cross.” The form Khajik reflects alternative diaspora transliterations into Latin scripts.

The name appears in medieval Armenia - borne by two Catholicoi, Khachik I (10th century) and Khachik II (11th century) - and has remained in use among Armenians in the Caucasus and the diaspora. Common variants include Khachik, Khatchik, Khatchig, Khachig, Xachik, and Khadjik; hypocoristics such as Khacho or Hatchig also occur. Because the Armenian Church venerates the Holy Cross (Khachverats), the name carries strong Christian resonance, yet today it functions as a traditional, rarely used but recognizable given name.

Khajik is vanishingly rare. We count just 1 recorded use of it worldwide, from 1 country.
