Its Armenian. Most names that end in "ian" or "yan" are of Armenian descent. The "Avedik" was a first name pre the use of surnames in Armenia. Avedik means news bearer. Hope this helps Daniel Peter Avedikian (son of Conrad Avedikian and grandson of Caesar Avedikian (Sydney Australia)
I would say so. Most people whose last names end with IAN are of Armenian descent.
Usually anything ending in "yan" or "ian" or "ov" (less coomon) is Armenian. Armenian surnames almost always have the ending (Armenian: յան) transliterated into English as -yan or -ian (spelled -ean (եան) in Western Armenian and pre-Soviet Eastern Armenian, of Parthian origin, presumably meaning "son of"), though names with that ending can also be found among Persians and a few other nationalities. Armenian surnames can derive from a geographic location, profession, noble rank, personal characteristic or personal name of an ancestor. Armenians in the diaspora sometimes adapt their surnames to help assimiliation. In Russia, many have changed -yan to -ov (or -ova for women). But Boghossian, Sarkissian, Khachadourian, are pretty common. But they aren't as popular as "Smith" in the United States.
Haha no, I thought that in the beginning also because of his last name, but if you look closely you will see it doesn't end in IAN or YAN. :)
