What does Artun mean?
Awake, watchful; also linked with resurrection
In Turkish: uyanık, tetikte; dirilişle bağlantılı ad biçimi
Artun can be connected in Armenian both with an independent word and with the Harutyun name family. The first interpretation emphasizes wakefulness, while the second introduces resurrection. These two routes should remain distinguishable. Deriving the name instead from the Turkish verb artmak would require separate historical evidence.
