Thorny, although I can't answer any specifics on the name Goorjian, there's a good chance that "Goor" or "Goorj" means something in either Armenian or Turkish. The -ian suffix was given to Armenians in the Empire with the meaning "son of". For instance, Bedrosian means son of Bedros. Or Topalian means son of lame man. Then we have last names like Peltekian, where Peltek means beehive (Turkish or Armenian?)

I know how Armenian names take on the -ian suffix, including the -ouni, -tsi, etc.

Peltek means someone with a lisp - not something to do with a bee-hive. (I had a best friend some seven years ago who was a lispy - "Filiiiith, you're naaath-ty!!" LOL...)

Petek, on the other hand, means honeycomb.

Gur or gurdj, I can't think of anything in Turkish, except for "guer/gür" which means dense (like a forest or someone's hair).

Honeycomb, that's the word.
Anyway, if it means lisp, even better.. son of man with lisp.
