Fantastique is a French term for a literary and cinematic genre and mode that is characterized by the intrusion of supernatural elements into the realistic framework of a story, accompanied by uncertainty about their existence. The concept comes from the French literary and critical tradition, and is distinguished from the word "fantastic", which is associated with the broader term of fantasy in the English literary tradition. According to the literary theorist Tzvetan Todorov, the fantastique is distinguished from the marvellous by the hesitation it produces between the supernatural and the natural, the possible and the impossible, and sometimes between the logical and the illogical. The marvellous, on the other hand, appeals to the supernatural in which, once the presuppositions of a magical world have been accepted, things happen in an almost normal and familiar way. The genre emerged in the 18th century and knew a golden age in 19th century Europe, particularly in France and Germany.

Baronian or in Western Armenian Պարոնեան) is an Armenian surname that means "son of a Baron". It is thought to have originated in the Cilician Kingdom, when the Western term Baron, a title of nobility, came to replace its Armenian counterpart Nakharar. However, since the actual title of Baron was not always hereditary, descendants of Barons were designated with the surname Baronian to indicate the nobility of their ancestor. Eventually, the usage of the word Baron in Armenian evolved and is currently used in the same way as Mister is used in modern English. For example, a man whose last name is Baronian may be referred to as Baron Baronian in modern times, though his last name still implies that a remote ancestor likely held the Baron title of nobility. Baronian can be also written as Paronyan, particularly in Eastern Armenian.
