I’m just curious. What ethnicity is the name “Der-Yeghiayan”? I’ve never seen anything similar to it before.

( "it's" is the contraction of either "it is" or "it has"; "its" is the possessive pronoun)

What ethnicity is the name “Der-Yeghiayan”? I’ve never seen anything similar to it before.It's been my experience that a 'ian' or 'yan' "suffix" on a surname denotes Armenian ancestry. I'm nosy. I live in NYC, and I ask!

I’m just curious. What ethnicity is the name “Der-Yeghiayan”? I’ve never seen anything similar to it before.From The New Hampshire Bar Association:
"The Honorable Samuel Der-Yeghiayan is the first Armenian immigrant and the first alumnus of Franklin Pierce Law Center to attain the federal bench. Prior to his appointment to the bench by President Bush, he served as a U.S. Immigration Judge in Chicago."
