My very first wiki and I am trying to find the origins of my name which is Krikor and my family roots originating from Armenia, so here we go ... Where is the name Krikor coming from? Krikor [ˈkreeː.korː] is a common Armenian masculine first name. Found that it was derived from the Latin "Gregorius," which was from the late Greek name "Γρηγόριος" (Gregorios), which was derived from "γρήγορος" (gregoros) meaning "watchful, alert".
Krikor the Illuminator Saint Krikor the Illuminator (alternate: Armenia: Գրիգոր Լուսաւորիչ translit. Grigor Lusavorich, Greek: Γρηγόριος Φωστήρ or Φωτιστής, Gregorios Phoster or Photistes), was born about 257, the founder and patron saint of the Armenia Apostolic Church (Armenian: Հայ Արաքելական Եկեղեցի), sometimes called the Armenian Orthodox Church or the Gregorian Church, is the world's oldest national church and one of the most ancient Christian communities. Armenia was the first country to adopt Christianity as its official religion, in 301, when St. Krikor the Illuminator converted Tiridates III (the King of Armenia) and members of his court. Armenia, the country Armenia (Armenian: Հայաստան, Hayastan, Հայք, Hayq), officially the Republic of Armenia, is a landlocked mountainous country in the Southern Caucasus (Transcaucasus), bordered by Turkey to the west, Georgia to the north, Azerbaijan to the east, and Iran and the Nakhichevan exclave of Azerbaijan to the south. A former republic of the Soviet Union, Armenia is one of the oldest and most historic civilizations in the world, as well as the first nation to adopt Christianity as its official religion. Although Armenia is constitutionally a secular state, the Christian faith plays a major role in both its history and the identification of the Armenian people.
