Top surnames for VK for guys. The most beautiful surnames for girls. Russian and foreign variants of surnames

17.04.2019

Coming into this world, we do not choose for ourselves either parents, or last names, first names and patronymics. Initially, our mothers and fathers or other people do this for us. But what if you imagine for a second that everyone can call themselves whatever they want, based on their personal tastes and preferences? Here's what interesting information issued on this topic. It was carried out taking into account the point of view of both sexes, and concerned male surnames.

“But we don’t care!”

This is exactly the reaction of the majority of young people surveyed by the strong half of humanity to the question of what, from their point of view, is the most beautiful surname for a guy. With a smile, they answered that they were quite satisfied with their relatives, received from their ancestors, and in general they had not given much thought to such a problem. “It’s not Pupkin and Pukin, it’s not Tsypa, so why split hairs!” - every fourth of the respondents answered approximately the following. Well, in their own way they are right. But there are other opinions about what a beautiful surname for a guy should be. Let's take a closer look at them!

Friends-princes

Firstly, these are the names of ancient noble families. Of course, sometimes they do not amaze with their euphony, but the breed has its own, strong charm. Let's start with a really prestigious and significant one - the Romanovs. It's a nice name for a guy, isn't it? Moreover, the royal one, because Pyotr Alekseevich, who is also the First, will be from this family and tribe! Its roots are connected with the male name Roman, and it, in turn, goes back to the Latin word, translated meaning “Roman”.

An equally worthy and beautiful surname for a guy is Apraksin, also ancient, noble, and famous. Its bearers loudly declared themselves back in the 15th and 16th centuries, and then worthily bore the glorious name of their ancestors in the history and culture of Russia. I also remember the Pushkins, Zavadovskys, Karamzins, Volkonskys and Bolkonskys, Obolenskys, Vyazemskys, Razumovskys. These are truly expressive and beautiful surnames for guys, the list of which can be continued for a long time.

From name to origins

Let's consider how and where some of the “nicknames” of which Rus' was once proud came from. For example, the Almazovs. Sounds great, right? It comes from the name of the village of Almazovka, and the mention of this noble family dates back to the 17th century. I also remember such beautiful male surnames as Aksakov, Lermontov. Firstly, they are of foreign origin (Turkic and Scottish-English), and secondly, both families glorified Russian literature throughout the world, giving our culture the most wonderful writers. The origin of the nickname Obolensky is interesting. In the Kaluga region there was once the city of Obolensk, which was granted for eternal use to a certain nobleman who distinguished himself in its defense. To emphasize his financial wealth, he began to be called Obolensky, giving rise to a new surname. The Vyazemsky family tree is connected with the toponym - from the small ancestral town of Vyazma, which stood on a viscous, muddy river. Geographically, such beautiful Russian male surnames as Onegin, Pechorin, Rostov, Meshchersky, Olenin, Polonsky, etc. were formed.

Connection with nature

Sonorous names, original, pleasant to the ear, were drawn by man from the natural world. For example, Orlov, Gromov, Zhuravlev, Lebedev, Korolev, Sokolov, Vinogradov, Morozov, Sobolev, Soloviev. Some of them come from the names of the breeds eagle, swan, crane, and wren. Three quarters of respondents agree that this is for guys. The Gromovs and Morozovs are associated with natural phenomena - the rampant thunderstorm and the onset of the “gray winter”. The musical surname Talnikov speaks of spring, the first thawed patches, snowdrops, mighty floods, the awakening of nature and life. The Vinogradovs, Travnikovs, Tsvetkovs are of “plant” origin.

Diminutive options

It is worth mentioning beautiful surnames for boys, Russian in origin. They are diminutive in nature, soft to the ear and gentle. For example, Orlik, Zaichikov or Kotenochkin, Kotik (option - Kotikov), Korolkov. This observation was made by the female half of the respondents. The men's group did not give any intelligible answers to the corresponding question. This is apparently due to psychological characteristics perception of the surrounding world by representatives of different sexes.

Distinctive features and their characteristics

There are so many people, so many opinions - this is completely convinced by the statistics of choosing which is the most beautiful surname for a guy. What's wrong with options like Serebryany, Serebrov, Serebryansky? All of them are associated with noble precious metal and are associated with jewelry. This is exactly what the people who cited them as examples noted. Moreover, preference, nevertheless, was given to the first option as more euphonious, refined, and pleasant. The surname Bogatyrev is also popular. According to those surveyed, she exudes strength, courage, and reliability. Associations with the heroes of ancient Russian epics, mighty knights who protected peaceful people from the raids of nomadic Tatar tribes are also natural. The famous “Derzhavin” sounds no less proud and respectable - from “power”, “country”, “state”. Yes and famous poet“Old man Derzhavin”, who blessed Pushkin for his poetic work, also fits into the circle of analogies. This is how ancient antiquity comes to life in surnames, and hoary history is resurrected in faces!

From first names to last names

Many nicknames, as surnames were once called, originated from This feature was noticed by many of those participating in the survey. The following was especially often called: Alexandrov. It comes from the name Alexander, which translated from Greek means “protector of people.” It is believed that such a nickname imposes certain responsibilities on its bearer and cultivates qualities corresponding to a high purpose. Such names as Timofeev and Savelyev were repeatedly mentioned as beautiful male surnames. The first is associated with the name Timofey, which was also transferred to Russian soil from Ancient Greece. Its meaning is “God-loving, honoring his God.” Based on semantics, priests and monks were often given this name in Rus'. Subsequently, it lost its religious connotation and began to be viewed as general. The second goes back to the original Russian personal name Savel (“hard worker”), and it, in turn, to the biblical Saul (“asked for, begged from God”). According to third sources, Savelyev comes from the Latin word “Sabel”, i.e. “unpretentious”, “simple”. This name and surname were given, for the most part, to people from the common people, peasants. There were many Savelyevs among the barge haulers. Currently, according to statistics, it accounts for approximately a fifth of the total number of “nicknames”.

Foreign exotica

Our people are greedy for everything foreign. Therefore, in the survey, beautiful foreign male surnames were highlighted as a separate item. What did we get? Washington turned out to be one of the most popular. True, in addition to aesthetic parameters, it was associated with the first dollar bills and prosperity. For the same reason, another legendary surname was named - Rockefeller. What’s interesting is that both of them seemed attractive to both the male and female respondents. Further, such names that are exotic to the Russian ear as Lee, Gonzalez, Oreiro, Smith, Marshall are considered interesting. They are respectively of Chinese-Korean, Spanish-Partugal (Latin American), English and Australian descent. 8% of the guys who responded would be happy to change their own domestic surnames to Aldridge, Hoggart, Livingston, Morrison. The motivation was and was mostly expressed briefly: “I like it!” The personal names of idols are also attractive - stars of sports, cinema, show business: Cruise, Cage, Grant. 12% of people who provided statistical data were happy to have them or would like them for their gentlemen. The surname Farrell, Ferrari, Diaz sound beautiful. They have their own charm, yes! Proper names aroused interest German origin. These include Fischer, Wagner, Weber, Richter, Schwartz, Lehmann. For the most part, they designate a person by occupation - fisherman, coal miner, judge, owner of a piece of land, etc. Or a shade of color.

Charm of France

French variants of surnames are especially popular among exotic lovers. They, like everything connected with this beautiful country, are not only euphonious, but also spectacular and noble. For example, Armand, Amadou, Dubois, Delacroix, Leroy, Morel, Benoit, Viardot, Caro, Curie, Reno, Rousseau, etc. Some of them are well-known thanks to artists: artists, writers, musicians. Others came with characters from books and movies. True, preference in choosing French options for your gentlemen in to a greater extent girls do than men do for themselves. Here are some interesting statistics.

Let's sum it up

What conclusion did the statisticians make based on the survey? Firstly, domestic surnames are clearly preferable to foreign ones. Secondly, sonorous noble ones are much more popular than those that were originally given to commoners. And thirdly, whatever surname you got from your relatives should be valued!

Do not use special characters such as ★~](](, this is not always appropriate.
If you create a nickname based on your last name or first name, use them short form, Then final version will be concise.
The nickname should be easy to pronounce.
When choosing, remember your talents and hobbies. Such applications (Act, Dancer, Speaker, Coach, Violin) to the name - in combination they will give a good nickname: AnnaViolin, LanaDancer, AlexCoach.
You can associate a nickname with your place of birth or residence. Lesya Ukrainka is a great example.
