(Redirected from Armenian surnames)
An Armenian name comprises a given name and a surname.
First names[edit]
According to Armenia's National Statistical Service, the most commonly used names for newborn boys in Armenia, as of early 2012, were Davit, Narek, Gor, Hayk, Alex, Erik, Arman, Samvel, Tigran, and Aram. For girls, the most popular names were Nare, Milena, Maria, Mane, Ani, Anna, Anahit, Mariam, Elen, and Mary.[1]
Traditionally, Armenians have used Biblical names of Greek, Latin and Hebrew origin, such as Abraham, Hakob (Jacob), Hovhannes (John), Petros (Peter), Poghos (Paul), Madlene (Magdalene), Yeghisabet (Elizabeth), Tamar, etc.
Surnames[edit]
Typical modern Armenian last names (family names) end with the originally patronymic suffix -յան (reformed orthography) or -եան (classical orthography), transliterated as -yan, -ian, or less often '-jan'. Example: Petrosyan, meaning 'issued from Petros', akin to the English name Peterson. Some Armenian last names bear the suffix -նց ([nʦʰ]), transliterated as -nc, -nts or -ntz (as in Bakunts or Adontz), or in addition to -yan/-ian (as in Vardanyants), although that is not common.[2]
Some Armenian surnames have a suffix -լի ([li]) preceding the -յան/-եան suffix. For example, Sivaslian and Vanlian refer to the cities of Sivas and Van, respectively.[3] Other Armenian surnames have a suffix -ճի ([ʤi] or [ʧi]), transliterated as -ji/dji or -chi/tchi, preceding the -յան/-եան suffix. Names such as Kebabjian and Kahvejian refer to kebab and coffee merchants, respectively. While the -եան suffix already existed in the Classical Armenian period (e.g. Արտաշեսեան Artashesian, Մամիկոնեան Mamikonian), other suffixes, now rarer, also existed. The suffix -ունի (as in Բագրատունի Bagratuni, Արշակունի Arshakuni, [uni]) had a similar meaning to -եան.
The suffix -ցի ([tsʰi]) denoted a geographical provenance, e.g. Movses Khorenatsi (from Khoren) and Anania Shirakatsi (from Shirak).
The prefix Տեր ([ter]), which comes from how one addresses a priest, is typically Armenian. It might be followed by a space or attached directly to the root. If someone possesses a surname containing 'Der' or 'Ter' it usually signifies that this person has a patrilineal ancestor who was a priest.
Roots of names[edit]
The roots of names ending with -ian/-yan are typically first names, such as Petrosian 'issued from Petros', Simonian 'issued from Simon', etc. When the name ends in -lian or -(d)jian, the root is expected to refer to a location or a profession, respectively. Thus, the etymology of Vanlian is literally 'issued from the man from Van' and that of Kebabjian is 'issued from the kebab merchant'. However, an ancestor's occupation will not necessarily contain the suffix -(d)ji, thus Vardapetian/Vartabedian (Վարդապետյան/-եան) translates as 'issued from the vardapet', Bjishkian (Բժիշկյան/-եան) as 'issued from the doctor' and Keshishian (Քեշիշյան/-եան) as 'issued from the priest'.
Mosin nagant m44 cleaning kit. The -ian/-yan suffix may also, but more rarely, attach to an adjective denoting a quality. Thus, Bzdigian/Pztikian (Պզտիկյան/-եան) translates as 'issued from the small (man)', Medzian/Metsian (Մեծյան/-եան) as 'issued from the tall (man)', Ganantchian/Kanantchian (Կանանչյան/-եան) as 'issued from the green, i.e. young (man)'.[4]
Some former noble Armenian names, such as Artsruni/Ardzruni (Արծրունի) are still in use today. When they moved from Armenia or from the Middle East, some changed their last names to adapt better to their new societies. Sometimes the -ian or -yan ending was dropped and the root kept, such as Charles Aznavour (was Aznavourian), or Andy Serkis (originally Sarkissian). Other times the name was translated, as 'Tashjian' (which is derived from Turkish word 'taş' meaning 'stone') becoming (approximately) 'Stone'.

Biography[edit]
Alto saxophonist and flautist, Thomas Chapin was born on March 9, 1957 in Manchester, Connecticut. He attended Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts where he studied classical music and jazz. He began his serious studies in the late 1970s, attending the Hartt School of Music at the University of Hartford in Connecticut, studying with saxophonist Jackie McLean.
In 1980 he graduated from Rutgers University where he studied with saxophonist Paul Jeffrey, pianist Kenny Barron and guitarist Ted Dunbar. From 1981 to 1986 he toured with the jazz grand master Lionel Hampton as lead saxophonist and musical director of the band. He also performed with Chico Hamilton's band from 1988 to 1989.
In the late 1980s he formed his own groups, of quartets, quintets, and a group and album devoted to Brazilian music, Spirits Rebellious (Alacra), as well as founding Machine Gun, a free-funk-free-jazz-rock band with guitarist/producer/engineer Robert Musso. But most notably, forming what became his signature group, a trio with bassist Mario Pavone and drummers Steve Johns and later, Michael Sarin. For nearly ten years Chapin pursued his own music, working with the Thomas Chapin Trio at festivals and clubs around the world, including milestone Trio career performances at the Madarao Jazz Festival (Japan) in 1994, where he also played with Betty Carter, and at the Newport Jazz Festival in 1995. He also arranged larger groups (Trio with Brass, 'Insomnia' and Trio with Strings, 'Haywire'). And he spent a good deal of his time working with the more important names in various factions of jazz. He performed with Ray Drummond, Anthony Braxton, Tom Harrell, Sonny Sharrock, John Zorn, Walter Thompson, Dave Douglas, Marty Ehrlich, Ned Rothenberg and many more.
Over his career he recorded more than fifteen albums under his name alone, including Sky Piece and Night Bird Song, the last releases with his trio and several more straight-ahead albums, including with quartet/quintet groups in I've Got Your Number and You Don't Know Me on Arabesque Records.
Thomas Chapin died of leukemia in 1998 at age forty. The New York Times called him 'one of the more exuberant saxophonists and bandleaders in jazz' and 'one of the few musicians to exist in both the worlds of the 'downtown' experimentalist scene, and mainstream jazz.'[1] He is survived by his wife, Terri Castillo Chapin, whom he married on October 15, 1997, after ten years together, in New York Hospital while being treated. He died four months later.
