Vahe

Meaning of Vahe

Vahe is a masculine given name of Armenian origin, its roots tracing back to the Royal House of Haykazuni in the fourth century BCE and the eponymous king Vahe Haykazuni, and it derives from Classical Armenian with etymological links to ancient Iranian elements denoting vigor. Pronounced VAH-heh (/vɑˈhə/) in Armenian, the name conveys associations of leadership and dynastic heritage within its native cultural context. Data from the United States Social Security Administration show that Vahe has appeared intermittently within the top 1,000 male names since its first recorded instance in 1922 (nine births, rank 542), with a resurgence from the 1980s onward yielding annual tallies predominantly between five and twelve—such as six in 2024 (rank 918) and eight in 2023 (rank 921)—and corresponding to rankings between 542nd and 937th. Its sustained low-frequency presence offers prospective bearers a distinctive personal identifier that reflects both its classical Armenian provenance and its measured integration into contemporary Anglo-American naming conventions.
