What’s in a name?
I’ve been asked why Armenian surnames all seem to end in “-ian” or “-yan”…Did you know that is actually a suffix, meaning “of”?
It can mean “son of”, “descendant of”, or it could indicate a geographic origin, and it could even be a an occupation.
A few years ago we put together this fun parody of “Let’s Call The Whole Thing Off” and titled it “The Armenian Name Game”.
How many Armenian last names do you recognize?
