Derderian is a fairly uncommon surname, and the spelling may seem confusing at first glance. In IPA phonetic transcription, it would be spelled /dɜrdɛriən/. The "der" at the beginning is straightforward, with a soft "e" sound in the middle. The repetition of "d" and "r" in the second half of the name may require extra attention to ensure proper spelling. The ending "ian" is common in Armenian last names and denotes origin or lineage.
