>Yes. Barsoomian is Aremenian.
The name is definitely Armenian, but there's a better than 90% chance her family actually imigrated from Iran. Her parents are described as Armenian immigrants, but from where? There are sizable Armenian populations in Armenia (duh), former Soviet republics, Turkey, and Iran.
If they immigrated from the Soviet Union, they would likely be Jewish and spell their name ending in -yan, not -ian. Turkey didn't send many immigrants to the US in the 50's or 60's. If they immigrated at all, they usually went to Europe. Iranian Armenians not only mostly spell their last names with -ian, but also immigrated in sizable numbers during the 60's.
