Re: Origins of the name Yerevan

lol, that's hillarious. How about the legend that Noah told one of his sons "Ar men (you stay here)". These are just legends. They're neat but I doubt they have real connection. Yerevan sits on the ruins of an ancient Urartu city called Erebuni. I would think the phonetic connection to Erebuni explains the origins of the city's name. But I'm actually not sure 100%.

Urartuan analyses of the region and title prescribed to it are one of the many legends associated with it.

However, a more inductive closer study summarizes that the EREBUNI/Yerevan title dates back to the 8th century BC, and named after the military named "Erebuni" of the ancient Urartuans.

yeah mongols.. but one should accept that they were not as systematic and determined as we were

This all took place in the 1200s. These islamic Mongolic hordes from Ghengis Khan were what brought them in the region of Anatolia, to begin with.

Yerevan was a Turkish city. Original name is Erivan.

Actually I do not know what special-education classes you have taken in a Turk-oriented elementary but YEREVAN has a few folkloric legends about its origins. However, it is actually an ALIAS given from one of its first conquerors that it came in contact from and with: The Parthians (ancient Persians).

My 'guess' is that 'god' can do things with words at a time that can't be understood out of context... and when people try they twist into other-than-meant.

While my ancestors were the merchants of the Mediterranean, yours were nothing more than barbarian nomads wielding scimitars.

Re: Origins of the name Yerevan

After you migrate to west, you have learned this "West is good, East is bad" thing. And still desperately you try to locate yourselves at "somewhere" in the "west".
Now you like to see yourselves as "mediterranean people"? So another title is coming. White, European, Mediterranean Armenians versus Barbaric, Nomadic, Asiatic Turks.
