Pronunciation[edit]

Proper noun[edit]

Կարեն (Karen) (traditional orthography spelling Կարէն)

  1. a male given name, Karen or Garen

Usage notes[edit]

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.
