Armota is a village in Erbil Governorate in Kurdistan Region, Iraq. It is located in the Koy Sinjaq District. In the village, there is a church of Mart Mariam, a church of Mar Michael, and a shrine to Mart Shmune.
==Etymology== Several theories have been put forward for the origin of the Syriac name of the village, as it may derive from "ara" ("land" in Syriac) and "mota" ("death" in Syriac), and thus translate to "land of death", or could be a combination of "ara" and "nūṭā" ("oil" in Syriac), and translate to "land of oil". The former etymology is attributed to the local legend of a large battle between Christians and Muslims, or of a plague that devastated the village. Alternatively, Armota may stem from "armune" ("pomegranate" in Syriac).
