The city was renamed Yerevan (Ереван) in 1936. Ernest Alfred Yarrow (21 February 1876 – 26 October 1939) was a Christian missionary and a witness to the main Armenian Genocide of 1915. He is also known for his leadership of a relief effort carried out by the Near East Foundation that saved and cared for tens of thousands of Armenian refugees.
