Noun

хач • ‎(χač)

  1. cross

Etymology

Shortening of ха́чик ‎(xáčik), from a common Armenian male given name Խաչիկ ‎(Xačʿik), diminutive of Խաչատուր ‎(Xačʿatur), which means “given by cross” and is composed of խաչ ‎(xačʿ, “cross”) + տուր ‎(tur, “something given”), from տալ ‎(tal, “to give”).

The stereotyping of the name Khachik after Armenians perhaps is explained in part by the very popular character of товарищ Хачикян (Рубик-джан) from the 1977 Soviet movie Mimino, played by an Armenian actor Frunzik Mkrtchyan.
