Help[Facts] Re: Any information about the name Satenig?
in reply to a message by HannahO
According to "Armenian First Names" by Nicholas Awde and Emanuela Losi, Satenig means "little amber."
Perhaps someone got confused about the meaning because their was a Queen Satenig of Armenia, wife of King Ardashes, who was queen at the point in history where Christianity entered Armenia in the 4th century. She was actually born a Princess of the Alans, and so probably was only given the name Satenig after she married Ardashes. Queen Satenig seems to have been one of the few women from that far back in Armenian history whose name is actually known.
