Khatchikyan is Armenian in Origin.

Khatchikyan is an Armenian patronymic surname that can also function as a modern given name in the diaspora. It derives from the male name Khachik (Armenian Խաչիկ), a diminutive of khach/khatch (խաչ) “cross,” a central symbol in Armenian Christianity. The suffix -yan/-ian marks lineage, so Khatchikyan literally means “descendant of Khachik,” and by extension carries the sense “of the (little) cross.”

Transliteration produces several variants: Khachikyan, Khatchikyan, Khachikian, Khatchikian, Khachigyan, and Khatchigian; -ian reflects Western spellings, while -yan is Eastern. The ch/tch difference follows French-influenced orthography, and g vs k mirrors the Western Armenian form Khachig. As a first name, Khatchikyan remains uncommon but appeals to parents seeking a strong Armenian identity marker with spiritual resonance. Related given names include Khachik/Khachig and the feminine Khachuhi; the broader root also appears in names like Khachatur (“given by the cross”).
