History & Origin

Arevik joins Armenian arev ('sun') to the endearing suffix -ik. The result — 'little sun', 'sunshine' — has long been a term of affection and a girl's given name in Armenia and its diaspora (said 'ah-reh-VEEK').

It appears only rarely in U.S. records, though it is familiar in Armenia. Rare here, tender, and luminous.

Did you know? The -ik on Arevik is an Armenian diminutive — the same fond ending a parent adds to a child's name. So Arevik is literally 'little sun', which we note respectfully (said 'ah-reh-VEEK').
