According to medieval Armenian sources, the settlement was first mentioned as Vararakn . It came to be known as Khankendi in the mid-19th century. It was renamed Stepanakert in 1923, meaning the city of Stepan, after Armenian Bolshevik revolutionary Stepan Shaumian. The name is formed from the words Stepan and kert meaning created.
