Azerbaijan's Iravan and Nakhcivan Khanates and the Lake of Gekcha/ Sevanga (Pahlavi: Sivāng-e), legend in Russian.
The Armenized name Sevan is a corrupted form of the Russified name Sevanga, which derives from the Middle Persian Sivāng-e.
Finally, J. Russell correctly mentioned that Armenian toponyms are borrowings from the Parthian Arsacid and Sasanian periods.
