The village was previously known as Lala Gegh (Armenian: Լալա գեղ), then Lali Gyugh (Armenian: Լալի գյուղ).[2] The name of Vazashen was chosen to reflect the local vineyard production[3] (վազ/vaz 'grapevine' and շեն/shen 'village').
Near Vazashen is the historical site of Khaghkhagh (Armenian: Խաղխաղ), the winter residence of the kings of Ancient Armenia, where Saint Vardan won his first military victory.[4]
