Aghanarian: Iran

I remember reading a discussion on this forum when someone stated that there were a lot of non-Armenian -ians in Iran. Is Aghanarian one of those last names? This guy's name is "Farhad" but of course he could have an Iranian name and still be Armenian, like Armenian-Americans adopting American names and so forth. See pictures:

I can tell you that the name Farhad is one of those that will most likely not be used by an Armenian. It's just one of those typical Iranian names as far as I know. Unless the person was severely mixed and maybe several generations removed ...

 

By the way, you may want to give some warning to some of our members before surprising them with those pics! It may be a good idea to post as a link ... just a thought.

 

Actually I had an Iranian-turk friend here at UCLA several years ago who's name was Farhad. Boy that guy was dumb! Changed his major like 4 times ... one time he COPIED my homework word for word in our circuit analysis class ... I got 9/10 ... he got 2/10 I couldn't believe it!!!! (true story)
