Yettem's name was Lovell until Hagop Hamalian, the town storekeeper and postmaster, along with Ezekiel Kendigian and Devlat Agha Moorsalian submitted Armenia, Ararat, and Yettem as suggestions for a name change for the town to the Post Office Department, which chose Yettem.[5] Yettem is how Western Armenians pronounce the Armenian word for Eden. Although most of the Armenian population has moved away, there is still an active St. Mary's Armenian Church in Yettem.[6]
