Khatchig is Armenian in Origin.
Khatchig is an Armenian masculine given name rooted in the word khach (խաչ), “cross,” combined with the diminutive suffix -ik/-ig, yielding the sense “little cross” or “belonging to the cross.” The name reflects the central place of the Cross in Armenian Christian identity, echoed in the tradition of carved stone crosses (khachkars) and the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross.
Documented since the medieval period, it appears in ecclesiastical and princely circles; notable bearers include Catholicos Khachik I (10th century) and Khachik II (11th century). Spelling varies by dialect and transliteration: Khachik (Eastern Armenian standard), Khatchik, Khatchig, and Khachig (Western Armenian forms). Usage persisted across Western Armenian communities from historic Cilicia to the modern diaspora in the Middle East, Europe, and the Americas. Though less common today, Khatchig remains a warmly traditional choice, and related surnames such as Khatchigian/Khachikian preserve the name.
