Arakill Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
This surname is of ethnic Armenian origin, but its geographic origin lies with the Armenian diaspora of Persia and India. It was adopted by sons or possibly grandsons of an Armenian or Armenians (there appears to be two distinct families). The earliest known instances of this surname are found amongst Armenian traders centring around Calcutta and Malay in the late 18th century. There were two brothers: Agah Catchick Arrakial (also known as Khojah Catchick) and his brother, Carrapiet. The Indo-Armenian historian M. Seth gives them as sons of a native of Julfa, Iran, Arrakiel Gentloom. There were two other brothers in India during this period, Gregory and Arathoon Arrakiel. Gregory had four sons, who were referred to with the "surname" 'Gregory', but later known as 'Gregory Arakiel'.Whereas Armenians in Armenian adopted patronymic surnames with the suffix, '-yan', e.g. Arakelyan, Armenians in Iran and India simply took the name of their father. This resulted in a number of distinct and rare surnames, some of which now appear to be extinct.
