What the root tells

The dropdown, Root kind, sorts the list. 168 names grew from a forebear's given name, as Grigoryan is from Grigor. 42 come from a trade, as Tashjian is a stonecutter and Najarian a carpenter, 14 from a place or a people, as Halebian is from Aleppo, and 18 from a nickname.

Two spellings of one ending

Under More filters, Latin spelling keeps the 115 names on record with -yan, the 92 with -ian or the 57 with both. Each card lists up to three more spellings.

Tips
  • Starts with reads the Latin spelling, so Գրիգորյան is filed under G for Grigoryan, not under K for Krikorian.

Questions and answers

Why do Armenian last names end in -ian or -yan?

Both are Latin spellings of one Armenian ending, written -յան in reformed spelling and -եան in classical spelling. It began as a patronymic ending: Petrosyan is issued from Petros, much as Peterson is the son of Peter.

What are common Armenian last names?

This page found no open official count for Armenia, so it gives no ranks. Every name here has its own dictionary entry in Armenian script; Sargsyan, Grigoryan and Hovhannisyan are three of the names built on a first name.

Why does one Armenian last name have several spellings?

Armenian has its own alphabet, and a name can be put into Latin letters in more than one way. Գրիգորյան is on record as Grigoryan, Grigorian, Kerkorian and Krikorian. Each card lists the spellings its dictionary entries record.

Do all Armenian last names end in -ian or -yan?

Nearly all on this list do. A few old names end otherwise: the encyclopedia names Artsruni, a former noble name, and an ending -nts, and one name here, Adonts, ends that way.

How this list was compiled

A selection by a written rule, built on 2 October 2026; this page found no open official count of surnames for Armenia, so nothing here says how common a name is. A surname is listed when it has an Armenian entry in English Wiktionary's 'Armenian surnames' category (https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Category:Armenian_surnames, 647 entries read that day) and a Latin spelling on record: one the Armenian entry itself links, or an English surname entry of the category 'English surnames from Armenian' (439 entries) whose etymology names that Armenian spelling: 266 names, of which one, a recent respelling of a name already on the list, was taken off after a check, which leaves 265. The Latin spelling on a card is the first of those, and up to three more are listed as 'also spelled'; no spelling of a surname was made here. Six cards lead instead with the English spelling their Armenian entry records (Hakobyan, Khachikyan, Gasparyan, Kirakosyan, Musheghyan, Tarkhanyan), because the first spelling found (Akopyan, Hacikyan, Gasbarian, Kirakossian, Moushegian, Tarkanian) did not follow the Armenian letters. The kind (a forebear's given name, a trade, a place or a people, a nickname) is the one the Armenian entry's surname line states, and 27 entries state none. The root and its gloss are those of the entry's etymology; a root is shown in Armenian letters with the Latin spelling of the surname less its ending, only where root and ending make up the whole name and that Latin form follows the root's Armenian letters one for one (checked by script against the usual Eastern and Western values of the letters); elsewhere the card names the kind of root and no more, so no root stands in Armenian letters alone. One root that reads as an unrelated word in English is left off. Glosses of nicknames that describe a person's body or mock were left off. A card whose entry gives no kind, root or other spelling carries the two spellings alone. That the ending -յան once marked whose child someone was, and its Latin spellings -yan and -ian, are from English Wikipedia's 'Armenian name' (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armenian_name, read the same day).
