1. The two most discussed theories on the origin of “Yerevan” are:
- The city is named after the Armenian king Yervand IV, the last leader of the Orontid Dynasty and founder of the city of Yervandashat
- “Yerevan” is a derivation from an expression exclaimed by Noah. While looking in the direction of Yerevan, after the ark had landed on Mount Ararat and the flood waters had receded, Noah is believed to have exclaimed “Yerevats” (“It appeared”).

2. The seal of the city is a crowned lion on a pedestal with the inscription "Yerevan." The lion's head is turned backwards while it holds a scepter using the right front leg, the attribute of power and royalty. The symbol of eternity is on the breast of the lion with a picture of Ararat in the upper part.
3. On 27 September 2004, Yerevan adopted an anthem, "Erebuni-Yerevan", written by Paruyr Sevak and composed by Edgar Hovhanisyan. It was selected in a competition for a new anthem and new flag that would best represent the city. The chosen flag has a white background with the city's seal in the middle, surrounded by twelve small red triangles that symbolize the twelve historic capitals of Armenia. The flag includes the three colors of the Armenian National flag. The lion is portrayed on the orange background with blue edging.
