原Vahan is actually a simplified version of another common Armenian name, Vahagen. The latter is the name of an ancient god, before the Armenian conversion to Christianity. Vratha-ragna (Avestan uuratha-raghna) was the god of war (comparable to Greco-Roman Ares/Mars and to Indian Indra) and has parallels in Iranian Wahram. Along with Mithra, Ormazd, and Anahid, he made up the great gods of ancient Armenia. Vahagen's name comes from Parthian and in turn from Old Iranian vratha-raghna, meaning "the one who wields vratha" (Vratha was the name of a club/mace which the god held).

译 Vahan实际上是另一个常见亚美尼亚名字Vahagen的简化版本。后者是古代神的名字，在亚美尼亚人转变为基督教之前。 Vratha-ragna（Avestan uuratha-raghna）是战争之神（相当于希腊罗马阿雷斯/火星和印度Indra），在伊朗Wahram有并行。与Mithra，Ormazd和Anahid一起，他组成了亚美尼亚的伟大的神。 Vahagen的名字来自帕蒂亚，反过来是来自古伊朗vratha-raghna，意思是“一个挥舞vratha”（Vratha是一个俱乐部/ mace的名字，是神所持有的）。
