From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Ararat
      sacred land or high land, the name of a country on one of the
      mountains of which the ark rested after the Flood subsided (Gen.
      8:4). The "mountains" mentioned were probably the Kurdish range
      of South Armenia. In 2 Kings 19:37, Isa. 37:38, the word is
      rendered "Armenia" in the Authorized Version, but in the Revised
      Version, "Land of Ararat." In Jer. 51:27, the name denotes the
      central or southern portion of Armenia. It is, however,
      generally applied to a high and almost inaccessible mountain
      which rises majestically from the plain of the Araxes. It has
      two conical peaks, about 7 miles apart, the one 14,300 feet and
      the other 10,300 feet above the level of the plain. Three
      thousand feet of the summit of the higher of these peaks is
      covered with perpetual snow. It is called Kuh-i-nuh, i.e.,
      "Noah's mountain", by the Persians. This part of Armenia was
      inhabited by a people who spoke a language unlike any other now
      known, though it may have been related to the modern Georgian.
      About B.C. 900 they borrowed the cuneiform characters of
      Nineveh, and from this time we have inscriptions of a line of
      kings who at times contended with Assyria. At the close of the
      seventh century B.C. the kingdom of Ararat came to an end, and
      the country was occupied by a people who are ancestors of the
      Armenians of the present day.
     

From Hitchcock's Bible Names Dictionary (late 1800's) [hitchcock]:
   Ararat, the curse of trembling
