Tigran Martirosyan, All of 'Em!

In Response To: MARTIROSYAN Tigran 69 kg *PIC* (Rob Macklem)

Both Tigran and Martirosyan are common names in Armenia/Armenian.

Tigran, or Tikran, Dikran, was a famous, ancient Armenian king. Martiros means 'king' in Armenian. The family name form is Martirosyan, or Martirosian ('-ian': of, son of).

So, Tigran Martirosyan would be like the English names, 'Arthur King', or Richard King, etc. You can see how there would be many 'Tigran Martirosyans' in Armenia, or in Armenian families.

I just call him 'Dick'.
