Armenian is Darbinian/Tarpinian (Demirjian is the Turkish-Armenian hybrid form). There's also related Nalbandian (farrier / horseshoe blacksmith). BTW, the theory I've heard is that this surname prevails due to survivorship bias, in countries that were constantly at war and the male population was being decimated, the smiths had to stay back home manufacturing weapons (same logic applies for "miller" and "tailor" and "mayor", all very common last names in large parts of Europe).
