Learned borrowing from Old Armenian Կարէն (Karēn).

Pronunciation

Proper noun

Կարեն • (Karen) (traditional orthography spelling Կարէն)

Usage notes

Because English Karen is a common female given name in English, some Eastern Armenians transcribe their name as Garen according to Western Armenian pronunciation to avoid being misgendered.
