The history of the last name Armanious

The surname "ARMANIOUS" has its origins in Egypt, tracing back to the 5th century AD. It is derived from the ancient Coptic word "Armanios," which means "a native of Erment," a town located in Upper Egypt near the ancient city of Thebes. The town of Erment was known for its significant Christian community and ancient temple dedicated to the god Khnum.

One of the earliest recorded mentions of the name "ARMANIOUS" appears in a Coptic manuscript from the 6th century, which lists several individuals with this surname who were members of the local church in Erment. The name was also found in several monastic records and inscriptions from the same time period, indicating its prevalence among the Coptic Christian population in Upper Egypt.

In the 7th century, an Egyptian monk named Armanious of Erment was known for his ascetic lifestyle and spiritual writings. He is considered one of the early Desert Fathers and is revered as a saint in the Coptic Orthodox Church. Another notable figure was Armanious ibn Ishaq al-Muqaffa, an 8th century Arabic writer and translator who played a significant role in the translation of Persian literature into Arabic during the Abbasid Caliphate.

During the medieval period, the name "ARMANIOUS" appeared in various records and documents from the region, including the Nag Hammadi library, a collection of early Christian and Gnostic texts discovered in Upper Egypt in 1945. One of the manuscripts in this library, the "Armanious Codex," is named after a scribe who copied several texts in the 4th or 5th century.

In the 19th century, an Egyptian Coptic theologian and scholar named Armanious Boutros al-Masri (1823-1896) gained prominence for his efforts in reviving the Coptic language and promoting Coptic studies. He wrote several works on Coptic grammar and translated parts of the Bible into Coptic.
