From the Turkish word zil - cymbal, and suffix ci- maker-seller, ian - a common suffix used in Armenian last names meaning son of. Zilci (reads zilji or zildji) means cymbal maker in Turkish. Literally it's a last name meaning son of cymbal maker. A modern day Turkish-Armenian would write this last name as Zilciyan (pronounced zildjian).
