Norayr

Norayr is an Armenian masculine given name, composed of the elements nor meaning "new" and ayr meaning "man" in Armenian. Thus, the name signifies "new man." It is used primarily in Armenia and among the Armenian diaspora.

The name reflects a common practice in Armenian onomastics of combining meaningful roots to convey virtues or aspirations. The element nor appears in other Armenian names, while ayr is a poetic or archaic word for man, lending the name a literary and dignified tone.
