Hayanist ({{langx|hy|Հայանիստ}}) is a village in the Masis Municipality of the Ararat Province of Armenia. The distance from Yerevan is 15.4 km. Despite the favourable location of the community (proximity to Yerevan and abundance of good agricultural land), most households cannot provide for their living and heads of families often chose the labour migration as the only solution of their problems. Around 160 hectares of the community's agricultural land are not irrigated.
Etymology
The village was originally known as Gharaghshlar, Gharaghshlagh,{{sfn|Hovannisian|1996a|p=443}} or Kara-Kishlak{{sfn|Bournoutian|2018}} ({{langx|hy|Ղարաղշլաղ|translit=Ġaraġšlaġ}};{{Cite The Population of Soviet Armenia}} {{langx|ru|Каракишляг|translit=Karakishlyag}};{{Cite Kavkazskiy Kalendar 1910}} {{langx|az|Qaraqışlaq}}{{Cite web |last=Nişanyan |first=Sevan |title=Hayanist |url=https://nisanyanmap.com/?yer=66638&haritasi=hayanist |access-date=11 October 2022 |website=Index Anatolicus |language=tr}}), meaning black kishlak. In 1978, the village was renamed Dostlug{{sfn|Hovannisian|1996a|p=443}} or Dostlugh (Dostluq, meaning "friendship"); finally, it received the name Hayanist in 1991 following the exodus of its Azerbaijani population.{{cite Rediscovering Armenia}}
