Nov-22-11  BIDMONFA: Karen H Grigoryan

GRIGORYAN, Karen H.

Jun-15-12  twinlark: Well done in Bulgaria in the Albena Open.
Aug-12-12  Atking: I heard this young chess talent lived with his parents, a long time in Hokkaido (Japan), as well as did GM Anish Giri. Is that right?
Aug-02-13  Caissanist: I noticed that this player's name is spelled "Karen Grigoryan", but another strong Armenian IM from Soviet times was named "Karen Grigorian". Since Armenian uses a different alphabet from English, I would assume that the two players in fact have the same name.
Sep-12-13  twinlark: <Caissanist>

You'd think so. "-ian" or "yan" seems to be an orthographic product of the characteristic Armenian phoneme that occupies the last bit of their names. I've seen the Georgian "-vili" spelt "-wili" and "-villi", and the Balkan "-ic" spelt "ich".

Luckily there seems to be an orthographic standard amongst many countries with non-English alphabets in transcribing their names from Cyrillic or logographic Chinese and other symbols to English. It's hard enough finding some names here, given the number of variant spellings that manifest with even seemingly simple names like Korchnoi.

Sep-12-13  twinlark: <Caissanist>

My guess is that Armenians opt for one spelling or another at some stage and then stick with it. They seem equally popular: http://www.theweekinchess.com/html/...

Maybe there's an Armenian in the house who could clarify.
