Narek
Meaning of Narek
Narek (pronounced nah-REHK / nɑˈrɛk /) is a thoughtful Armenian name that carries the echo of centuries-old poetry and spirituality. Inspired by the legacy of 10th-century monk and mystic St. Gregory of Narek—whose lyrical writings still resonate in Armenian culture today—this warm, melodic name feels like a gentle hymn each time it’s spoken. Although it remains a rare gem—landing near number 899 in the US baby-name rankings with just about 25 newborns named Narek in 2024—it’s steadily winning over parents seeking something distinctive yet deeply meaningful. Its sonorous blend of consonants and vowels promises creativity, depth, and a dash of poetic spirit. In a sea of more common monikers, Narek shines like a single lantern in a dusk-tinted chapel, inviting your little one to carry a name full of history, heart, and modern flair (and rest assured, it’s far more memorable than your toddler’s rubber shark!).
