Armenian female names come from the Armenian language, with Eastern and Western variants often reflected in spelling. Common feminine formations include the -uhi/-ouhi suffix seen in Armenouhie and Goharuhi, the diminutive -ik in Astkhik and Arevik, and endings like -e/-eh and -ine/-ineh in Gayane, Armine, and Lusineh. Many names are nouns or adjectives used as given names.

Traditional sources include pre-Christian deities (Anahit/Anahid, Astkhik) and Christian martyrs (Gayane). Nature and celestial terms are frequent for girls, such as Aghavni “dove,” Arevik “little sun,” Lucine “moon,” and Kohar “jewel.” Modern usage shows parallel Eastern/Western spellings (Anahit/Anahid; Lucine/Lusin) and concise forms like Ani.
