Prehistory of the Armenians : ウィキペディア英語版 | Prehistory of the Armenians
The history of Armenia dates back over 4000 years. The country's name "Armenia" is a creation of the second half of the 3rd millennium BC and it means ‘the land of the people of Aram’. The first to mention this country's name were the Akkadians as ''Armani''.〔I. M. Diakonoff, ''The Pre-History of the Armenian People'', Caravan Books, Delmar, New York, 1984. See: Chapter 3.3.3 (p.126), and Note 115 (p.199).〕 The next to mention the Armenians and their country were the Achaemenid kings of Persia, and the Greek geographer Hecataeus of Miletus. == The Country of the Armenians ==
The country representing Armenia, the highlands to the east of peninsular Anatolia, was the previous Kingdom of Ararat. The borders of Armenia have changed so often that one can only give a rough description of it, such as: to the east up to the confluence of the rivers Kur and Araxes, to the south River Araxes, south of the Kashiari range of mountains up to Nisibis (Mtsbin), to the west the River Euphrates and to the north the Pontus range of mountains, the southern plains of Georgia and the Kur river.
