maybe gul is from glukh (head).
In which case it's the head of the rose.
Maybe? No? Ok, it was worth a try?

[Siamanto]

Gul is a Turkish name, so maybe that might help...[

Che_Ka,
I'm afraid that is pure homophonic coincidence! Gulvart is an Armenian first name - like Sirvart etc.
More later! I have to go!

I found the following:

1- "daughter Rose Gulvart Goins Diaz (deceased) who had four sons, Clinton Goins who with his wife Julia live in North Kingstown"

http://www.providenceri.com/heritage_park/ARMENIAN_HERITAGE_PARK7.html

2- Gul in *urkish means "rose."

3- A search of "gulvart," "goulvart," "goolvart" and "gulvarte" lead to Armenians; while "Gul" and "Gulen" to *urks.

Can it be that it's more than a pure homophonic coincidence? Maybe I spoke too soon!
I'm still not convinced if , in fact, "gul" in "Gulvart" is of *urkish origin? I'll investigate a bit more!
Also, are we sure that the ending is the word "vart" i.e. "rose?"

Is the city of Gurun a symbol of the spring i.e. karun????

Oops! lol
While we all know what "sir" in "Sirvart" means, what does the "gool" in "Goolvart" mean?

What does "sir" mean? If you are assuming that "sir" means love, then what happened to the "a" i.e. Sir[a]vart?



Note: I have chosen to auto censor the words "*urk" or "*urkish" because it is commonly perceived as unpleasant and offending, evokes unpleasant emotions and imagery and is pregnant with immoral and evil connotations!
