Etymology
According to Ačaṙean, either from Middle Persian [Book Pahlavi needed] (lystʾhyc /rist-āxēz/, “resurrection of the dead”) (Persian رستاخیز (rastâxiz)) or from Ancient Greek Ἀρίσταρχος (Arístarkhos).[1] In either case, he explains the differences in the forms by a Cappadocian dialectal pronunciation. The name has entered via Cappadocia, where the first bearer of the name, St. Aristaces I, was born.
Used by Armenians from the 4th century AD until now.
