Armenian Family names

Re: Armenian Family names

Many Armenians had their names changed when they arrived as refugees in a country. My father’s name in Turkey was Sar@yan.
As there is no a letter i without point in French, he has been called Sarian on his papers. The same thing has happened to Saroyan.
Some other names which were too long have been short cut.
i.e. Dandiginian has become Dandigian which has lost its former meaning.

Does that sound Armenian?

Actually yes
Ezer could be a variation of Hezer-Hizir-Hizirian
