Avakian (; also spelled Avagian, Avagyan, Avakyan, or '''Avak'yan''') is a name of Armenian origin. It derives from the Armenian word avag, meaning "oldest", "old", or "big", perhaps signifying that a male ancestor was a prominent individual in his community. It may also mean "son of Avak". Note: The suffix 'ian'(եան) is attributable to Armenians with ancestors from 'western Armenia' who fled from persecutions such as the Armenian Genocide to surrounding regions such as Syria and Lebanon.
