The etymology of the name of the village of Voskepar is associated with the mountain range of the same name - “wax” (gold) and “steam” (string, chain) (պար, պարան in Armenian). And in the name of the village of Voskevan, the words “wax” (gold) and “van” (place, settlement) can be distinguished (the last part is contained in the names of many villages and cities (Charentsavan, Ijevan, Tsakhkavan, Enokavan, etc.)
