Re: Armenian Family names

Yep, I have an uncle called Minas Minassian...it actually sounds funny...I think that a lot of the last names are derived from first names...if I'm not wrong, here is another thread explaning it...my other uncle's name is Ichkhan and our cousin's last name is Ichkhanian...by the way, I was told Ichkhan means prince, is that right??? How about Takuhy???

Wow! what a coincedence Jen! i have an uncle called Minas Minassian too!
