Piltsenian

Piltsenian refers to a surname of Armenian origin. Like many Armenian surnames, it likely derives from a combination of a given name or a descriptive term and a patronymic suffix. The suffix "-ian" or "-yan" is a common Armenian patronymic, signifying "son of" or "descendant of." Therefore, "Piltsenian" would broadly indicate descent from someone named Pilts or a similar-sounding given name.

The exact etymology of the root "Pilt" is not definitively established and can vary depending on the specific historical context and regional dialect from which the name originated. Such surnames are prevalent among Armenians globally, reflecting the historical Armenian diaspora. Individuals with the surname Piltsenian can be found in Armenia, as well as in countries with significant Armenian communities, such as the United States, Russia, France, and Lebanon. Genealogical research into the surname would typically involve tracing family lineages back to specific regions within historical Armenia.
