ArchivesRe: Armenian popularity lists --Monte?
in reply to a message by Dorchadas
Thank you very much for pointing out Mr. Melkonian's fame in Armenia. It's obvious the popularity of the name there is because of him.
His life was so recent that it is possible we can still find out why his parents chose the name. However, his parents were born in the USA themselves and seem to have been well assimilated into American culture, so they were surely just giving him an "American" name. So this is indeed the English language name Monte being imported into Armenian culture.
