Writing Adolescent Fiction/Character names/Armenian

Usage note Armenians have an ancient history and a rich stock of ancient Armenian names to go along with it, as well as Armenian versions of names from the Bible. Many Armenians from the former Soviet Union, such as the present-day Republic of Armenia, use Russian first names. Armenians in other parts of the world are likewise influenced, or they might use Armenian names which would be easy to pronounce by people in their home country. Surnames also appear with -yan so that Demirchian can be spelt Demirchyan.
