ArchivesRe: What does the name Mayranush mean?
in reply to a message by I like old names
Something 'sweet', see Anush.
On https://www.iarmenia.org/armenian-girl-names/ they define it as:
From the mother tongue, as “sweet mother”, “beloved mother”.
It was created in the XIX century and is a popular name among the people.
The shortest is Maroush, shorter, Mara.
Մայրանոյշ
I'll update the name with this info.

By the way, the Russians spell the name as Майрануш (Mayranush), which is relevant since Armenia was once part of the Soviet Union. Here is one Russian source for the name:
