[Show additional information ▼] [Hide additional information ▲]

Etymology: Traditionally connected with Old Armenian գեղ (geł, “beauty”), but this is rejected by Ačaṙyan, who considers it either to be a back-formation of Գեղամայ (Gełamay) (found in some placenames) by Movsēs Xorenacʿi, or of Urartian origin.
