GAYANE.
Armenian name of uncertain etymology. It may be related to Konkani gāyān, meaning "melody." (An
English-Konkani Dictionary, Maffei, 1883). It is the name of a saint of the Armenian Orthodox
Church.
... She was going with 53 of
her Christian girl friends and their teacher, the lady Gayane.
Nina joined these virgins, and their sweet company brought her almost
insensibly well nigh to her Iveria. Yet she had first to stop at the
Armenian city of Vogarshabad. But Nina did not accept the princess's
hospitality. She lived "from the work of her hands, under the
vine." But a short respite was theirs at Armenia. Diocletian found
out his victim, and Tiridate, King of Armenia, lent a willing hand to
slay the virgin, who braved his and the Emperor's offers of love;
Ripsimia and her girls, with the noble Gayane, were put to death
on September 30th, the day now sacred to their memory as saints of the
Church. (The Theosophist, v. 30, 1609)
