Khachig
Armenian - Male
Diminutive form of 'Khachadoor', meaning 'Bearer of the Cross.' Pronounced: KHA'-chig. The 'kh' sound here is like the 'ch' in the German 'ach.' Sometimes the 'ch' is rendered 'tch' (Khatchig) in order to ensure that a hard 'ch' sound (as in 'cheese') is pronounced, rather than a soft 'ch' (for example, 'machine').
