SLAK - The forefather of the ancient and noble Slkunyats Tohm (Slkuni Family) - The Lords of Taron, one of the most beautiful Armenian provinces. Slak and his entire family were murdered by Central Asian newcomers to the Armenian Highlands - the Mamgoon and his clan, which after wiping out Slkunis took over Taron. And then by a decree of a coward king this Mamgoon became known as Lord Mamikon and his klan Mamikonyan.
(Read about that and much more in "Patmutiun Hayotz" by Movses Khorenatsi)

Andranik - Uniquely Armenian

Arshalouys - UA

Avetis - UA

Gayane - Latin

Hripsime - UA

Housaper - UA

Misak - from Hebrew Meshak. But it's a popular name in modern Iran, spelled as Missagh, so maybe the name landed in Hayq from Persia.

Parounak - UA

Santoukht - Persian

Shoghig - UA

Yughaper - UA

Re: Uniquely Armenian Names

And below are my comments to each of the names but please bare in mind that I'm not a specialist in this area so I could be wrong too.

Սարմէն - Sarmen? Sorry but I've never heard this name before

Forget about it. It is used by Parskahais, I thought it must have been Armenian.

Ծաղկոյշ - i think its a form of Tsoghik, which is genuine Armenian

Ցողիկ is with a 'ց ' but Ծաղկոյշ with a 'ծ' so they are different. Ծաղկոյշ comes most probably from Ծաղիկ.
