I wonder: what is the origin of my surname 'Araptchev(a)' This surname is bulgarian, but even in bulgaria it is not a common name. it is quite rare. i don't have a clue what it means. some people have suggested that perhaps it has something to do with the Arabs, but i really don't know. My family isn't related to arabia as far as i know, but my grandfather is originally from Greece. ok, that the info i have. Thanx in advance
