Etymology[edit]

From the given name Գյուլբենգ (Gyulbeng), Կյուլպենկ (Kyulpenk) +‎ -յան (-yan, patronymic suffix). The name was used among Western Armenians in the 19th century. According to Ačaṙyan it derives from Ottoman Turkish گل (gül, rose) + بك (beñ, mole, birthmark). However, in view of the forms Գյուլբանգյան (Gyulbangyan), Գյուլբանխյան (Gyulbanxyan) perhaps it is from Old Anatolian Turkish, Ottoman Turkish كلبانك (gülbâng, gülbenk, gülbeng, loud shout; battle cry; call to prayer), from Persian گلبانگ (golbâng, sound; fame, rumour; loud shout; war-cry).
