Narvoyan

Narvoyan is a surname of Armenian origin. It is built with the common Armenian patronymic suffix -yan, which typically denotes descent or family lineage. The precise root of Narvoyan is not universally documented in major reference works, and it may derive from a given name or a place name in historical practice. Because transliteration from Armenian to Latin scripts varies, the name appears in several spellings, including Narvoyan, Naroyan, Narvayan, and Narvyan.

In contemporary usage, Narvoyan is found among Armenian communities both inside Armenia and in the Armenian diaspora, including countries such as Iran, Lebanon, the United States, and parts of Europe. It remains relatively uncommon compared with many other Armenian surnames, but it is recognizable within communities that track patronymic naming traditions.

As of now, there are no widely cited entries in major reference works for notable individuals bearing the surname Narvoyan. The name may appear in local genealogical records, community directories, or regional media without forming a widely known public figure.
