Meaning & History

Modern form of the Old Armenian name Հրաչեայ (Hračʿeay), which was derived from Old Armenian հուր (hur) meaning "fire" and աչք (ačʿkʿ) "eyes, sight" (literally, "fire-eyed" or "eyes of fire"). The name was invented by Armenian poet Movses Khorenatsi as the name of a legendary Armenian king.
