Odzun () is a village in the Lori Province of Armenia. It is situated on a plateau above the left bank of the Debed river gorge, about a thousand metres above the Yerevan–Tbilisi highway, a few kilometres south of the town of Alaverdi. It is famous for the 5th–7th century Odzun Church, an Armenian basilica with a cupola, overlooking the gorge.
Toponymy
According to one explanation, the name of the village derives from the Armenian word 'snake'; thus, Odzun means 'having many snakes' or 'place of snakes'. The name of the village is attested in various forms, such as Otsun, Ozun, Adzun and Udzun. Turkic speakers called the village Uzunlar, formed by etymological reinterpretation of the Armenian name (uzun means 'tall' or 'long', and -lar is a plural-forming suffix). The village was officially known by this latter name from the beginning of the 19th century until 1967, when it was renamed Odzun.
