Nationality & Ethnicity

As far as the origins of the name itself go, one might trace them to Persia and India, and to the god Mitra, the Mighty Sun, which was once worshipped in Armenia at the times when Armenians and Persians shared the same religion. In Armenian transcription Mitra turned into Mihran. But although one might come across both Armenians or Persians named 'Mihran', still the ending 'yan' - is typical Armenian ending. So anyone with the last name 'Migranyan' or "Mihranyan" is definitely Armenian. The ethnicity of the Migranyan surname is primarily Armenian and Persian.
