Murtoosian
Murtoosian is a surname of Armenian origin. It is derived from the given name "Murto," which itself is a diminutive form of "Mourad." Mourad is a common Armenian name, stemming from the Arabic word "murad," meaning "desire" or "wish." The suffix "-ian" is a patronymic element commonly found in Armenian surnames, indicating "son of" or "descendant of." Therefore, Murtoosian literally translates to "son of Murto" or "descendant of Mourad."
The surname is found among Armenian diaspora communities worldwide, particularly in countries with significant Armenian populations
