"Նախճաւան" meaning in Old Armenian

See Նախճաւան in All languages combined, or Wiktionary

Proper name

Etymology: Formed with աւան (awan). The origin and meaning of *Նախճ- (*Naxč-) is unknown. Armenian folk etymology explains the name of the city as նախ (nax, “first”) + իջևան (iǰewan, “abode, resting place”) due to it being regarded as the site where Noah descended and settled after the landing of the Ark on nearby Mount Ararat.
