But when you mentioned the jingle, i thought, "Ohhh yeah! That's Expedia!" I too miss the jingle - they should've used it as a tag to take advantage of the equity already built into it. But I'm sure there was some sort of research or tests before they dropped it. I want a yellow suitcase! :) When you wrote “I’m not sure what it is about Expedia ads that stand out,” I thought, “What the heck are you talking about?” But when you mentioned the jingle, i thought, “Ohhh yeah!

Meaning, someone by the name of Gabriel was the head of your family at some point. @lilya — I think the most common explanation for your last name would be that you are from the family of Gabriel.

I was merely trying to explain why I thought the original author of the article had defined the term as such. Either way, the purpose of the article I reposted was not to derive the origin of the -ian suffix but to discuss Armenian last names in general. Thanks for pointing out the difference.

Had there been an intention to explicitly state a son or daughter relationship, these (or some variation of them) would be used as suffixes. You wouldn't translate Araratian Dasht as "Son of Ararat Plain/Field" but as "Plain/Field of Ararat" instead. Ian is used in the Armenian language (as well as other Indo-European languages) to denote something that derives from or belongs to the object in question. I welcome anyone to cite sources from Armenian language experts which show "son of" as being the explicit meaning of –ian both in its etymology and intended use. Here is a thread from an Armenian forum with others' thoughts on this subject and article. http://hyeforum.com/index.php?showtopic=12344 Son is vorti and daughter is dustr.

Giving specific meaning in translating something like a thousands-year old suffix is a bit difficult. What does it mean for a person to be "from" someone? It means they are the their son or daughter right? They are from that family. I think the distinction is slim at best. Roughly the same meaning is conveyed.
