The list of popular genus names is endless, because as many people there are as many opinions. Each person will point out beautiful surnames that he personally likes. But, according to the majority, the most popular are aristocratic designations of family names. Let's figure out which surnames are more common and respected, and where they even came from.
List of the most beautiful Russian surnames in the world
The word "surname" is translated from Latin as "family". This means that this indicates that a person belongs to the clan from which he came. The emergence of family nicknames was often associated with the profession that the family practiced from generation to generation or with the name of the area in which the family lived, or the name of the family indicated character traits, specific appearance, and a nickname. It’s not for nothing that there is a saying “not in the eye, but in the eye” - people have always applied labels very precisely.
In Russia, at first there were only first and patronymic names, and the first surnames appeared only in the 14th century. Naturally, noble people received them: princes, boyars, nobles. Peasants received official family names only at the end of the 19th century, when they abolished serfdom. The first names of dynasties came from the names of places of residence, birth or possessions: Tver, Arkhangelsk, Zvenigorod, Moskvin.
Later, Russian surnames became a storehouse for the history of professions and life: Bochkarevs, Melnikovs, Telegins. But the most famous family nicknames were and still are those that came from the name of the head of the clan: Grishins, Sidorovs, Ivanovs, Pavlovs. As for the most beautiful Russian surnames, opinions converge here - these are the surnames of kings (Romanovs, Rurikovichs), nobles (Volkonskys, Vyazemskys, Obolenskys). Many people like derivatives from beautiful names animals and birds: Sokolov, Lebedev, Orlov, Medvedev, Volkov.

A selection of the most beautiful foreign surnames
Foreigners believe that a beautiful surname helps the family and brings good luck and happiness. But, it’s true, a person with a funny family nickname is teased by his peers from childhood, and subsequently he grows up insecure with a whole baggage of complexes. So it turns out that family name brought bad luck. For people with a beautiful family heritage, everything turns out differently. From childhood they know that they can do anything in this world, so they walk with their heads held high.
Each country has its own beautiful surnames, which are unusual to the Russian ear. But the origin of family designations is the same all over the world. Some took the name of their city, while others took the nickname of the founder of the clan, the occupation of the family, and their status. Among foreign names You can also often find the names of plants, birds, and animals. If a Russian person chooses foreign name, then, as a rule, he does not delve into its meaning, but makes a choice according to its euphony.
For example, Spaniards have beautiful surnames - not uncommon. The most common are:
- Rodriguez
- Fernandez
- Gonzalez
- Perez
- Martinez
- Sanchez
Russian girls often choose generic names of Spanish origin:
- Alvarez
- Torres
- Romero
- Flores
- Castillo
- Garcia
- Pascual
French surnames
All variants of French surnames are endowed with special beauty and charm. This language is very different from its other European counterparts. If in English a name is always pronounced correctly, then French names are pronounced differently. For example, the popular Le Pen can sound like “Le Pen”, “Le Pen”, “De Le Pen”. The first French family names were granted to the highest circle of nobility in the 11th century. It was only in the 16th century that a royal decree ordered that every French citizen be given a hereditary nickname.
Since then French surnames from generation to generation they are included in the church metrics. The most beautiful family nicknames in France come from proper names, from the occupation of the family, or from the geographical names in which the family was born. Widespread French male family names:
- Robert
- Richard
- Bernard
- Duran
- Lefebvre
Female generic names are not much different from male ones. French history ordered that no differences or other endings, as in the Russian language, exist between surnames, therefore beautiful generic names for women also bear their own name, for example:
- Leroy
- Bonn
- Francois
German
Generic names in Germany arose in the same way as in other countries: first they were received by the nobility, then by feudal lords and small landowners, and then by the lower strata of the population. The entire process of forming hereditary nicknames took about 8 centuries, and the first surnames appeared based on proper names. Vivid examples are German male generic nicknames:
- Werner
- Hermann
- Jacobi
- Peters
Beautiful family designations in Germany arose from the names of rivers, mountains and other words related to nature: Bern, Vogelweid. But the most popular generic names come from the occupations of their ancestors. For example, Müller means “miller”, and Schmidt means “blacksmith”. Rare German family names sound beautiful: Wagner, Zimmermann. Women in Germany, as a rule, leave their mother's surname, and the most beautiful are considered to be:
- Lehmann
- Mayer
- Peters
- Fisher
- Weiss
American
In America, genus names come from absolutely different sources. After all, this state was inhabited by different nationalities. People who arrived on the continent gradually modified the name of their clan, partly because they wanted a new life, partly because they wrote everything down by ear. Open American list Williams, Johnson and Smith. There have long been over a million of them in America. But there are also rarer family names that settle in one state. These include the Collins, Morgan, Brooks, and Reed.
Beautiful American family names compare favorably with other foreign ones - they are very consonant, and the owners wear them with pride. If surnames are not inherited, then any citizen of the United States can change their family name to a more harmonious one. So, the 10 most beautiful names of American men:
- Robinson
- Harris
- Evans
- Gilmore
- Florence
- Stone
- Lambert
- Newman
Concerning American women, then, as in the whole world, at birth they take the family name of their father, and upon marriage - their husband. Even if a girl wants to keep her family name, after marriage she will have a double surname, for example, Maria Goldman Mrs. Roberts (by her husband). Beautiful generic names for American women:
- Bellows
- Houston
- Taylor
- Davis
- Foster
Video: the most common surnames in the world
The most common surnames in the world seem beautiful, because their bearers are popular people, and therefore happy. For example, there are about one hundred million people on the planet who have the generic name Li. In second place in terms of polarity is the surname Wang (about 93 million people). In third place is the family name Garcia, common in South America(about 10 million people).
Beautiful surnames- a fairly wide range of names in the Russian language. However, there are no clear criteria for beauty here, since different people will like it different surnames. No matter how many people were interviewed this issue, the list of surnames will be constantly different. So we can only identify several groups of surnames that sound good and whose meaningful meaning is high and solemn.
royal surname Romanov: the surname goes back to the male canonical name Roman, which is translated from Latin as Roman; Rome is classic sample everything that is highest and correct, so that the surname is quite worthy of naming crowned persons;
Shuisky: such a surname could be given to a native of the city of Shuya, which is located in the Ivanovo region; however, villages with this name were scattered throughout Rus', so the Shuiskys could have come from them; ancient Russian word oshuya meant left, but the name could also be formed from the Finnish word suja - melted, flood;
Obolensky: the princes received this surname from their princely family estate in Kaluga region, the city of Obolensk (the Russian word envelop meant to protect, cover);
Vyazemsky: the surname is derived from the name of the family town of Vyazma (the river was called viscous if there was a lot of silt in it);
Lermontov: the surname comes from the Scottish name Lermont, the origin of which is still controversial:
1. Old Norse word leir – clay soil + French mont – high mountain;
2. Old English words lear – sea and mouth – mouth;
3. one of the variants of the Scottish name Lamont - legislator;
Pechorin: the basis of the surname is geographical name, Pechora River, so most likely these are people from the banks of this river (pechora is a forest dweller);
Favorsky: a seminarian surname, which was given to the future priest for euphony (favor from Latin - favor);
Kostomarov: Kostomarov in Rus' were large-boned, strongly built, strong people;
Onegin: the surname originates from the name of the Onega River, so people with that surname inhabited its banks (the word Onega translated from Finnish means waterfall, rapid stream);
Polonsky: the surname meant that the people of this family came from Poland;
Bolkonsky: the surname appears in the lists of the times of Ivan the Terrible among the most eminent Moscow boyars, but the origin of the surname still remains a mystery to linguists.
Animals and bird names.
Agree that in the fauna world there are sonorous names, from which very beautiful surnames are derived. Such surnames were often given to those who resembled a bird or animal in character or appearance:
Orlov, Orlik, Orel: such surnames could be given to a person with a big nose;
Lvov, Lev: such surnames were probably given strong people who had weight and respect in society;
Zaychik, Zainkin, Zaychikov: the affectionate initial form speaks of good attitude to those people who were given such cute surnames; agree that it sounds completely different from Zaitsev;
Lebedev, Lebed, Lebedyansky, Lebedushkin: people with such surnames were most likely distinguished by their loyalty in character or graceful, slender figure;
Korolek, Korolkov: the king has always aroused the love of the people, therefore such a surname could only be given to those who gained fame and respect among people;
Kotenochkin, Koshechkin, Kotik: such nicknames could be given to affectionate, gentle people.
Surnames from plants.
Floristry is also full of the most beautiful names. And a flower cannot be called a dull, abrupt word. Accordingly, surnames based on plant names are very beautiful:
Kolokolchikov: such a nickname could be given to a person with a ringing voice;
Rozov, Rozanov, Rozochkin: such surnames were given for euphony to seminarians - future priests;
Vinogradov: grapes were highly valued in Rus', so such a surname was not given to everyone, but only to the most distinguished; according to some versions, this is a seminarian surname;
Sokolov, Sokolik, Sokolnichiy: such a surname could be given to people who not only looked somewhat like this noble bird, but also to those who were engaged in falconry and raised specially trained birds for this;
Berezkin: a person with such a surname could be engaged in processing birch bark, for example;
Poplar, Poplar: this could be the name for a tall and slender person;
Aspen: Aspen has always been considered a cowardly tree - perhaps the name given to a fearful and modest person.
Military surnames.
Military people are always about discipline, smartness, precision and accuracy - military ranks They sound beautiful and solemn, like at a parade. Surnames derived from such ranks are conventionally called military, and they definitely fall into the category of beautiful and euphonious: Majors; Admirals; Dragunsky; Hussar; Colonels; even Soldatov sounds very beautiful and dignified.
Personal names.
This group of surnames in Rus' has always been the most common. In addition, diminutive forms could be formed from given names, which often served as the basis for creating surnames that sounded affectionate and gentle.
Adam: the surname is an exact copy of the male name, which is translated from Hebrew as man;
Aksyutochkin: from the diminutive form of the female name Ksenia (Greek word meaning hospitable);
Andreychik: diminutive form of the male name Andrey (translated from Greek - courageous);
Mashechkin: diminutive form of the female name Maria (Hebrew name meaning bitter);
We love, Lyubimov, Beloved: they go back to the non-calendar, but widespread in Rus', male name Lyubim, which is more eloquent than any explanation.
Other sonorous surnames.
Sometimes surnames arose by chance, spontaneously. Some did not receive the suffix formation typical of surnames and remained tracings of common nouns. Now, when we hear them, we have associations with the subject that formed the basis of such a surname, a stereotype of consciousness is triggered, and we begin to like the surname:
Zhemchuzhina, Zhemchuzhnikov, Zhemchugov: that could be called handsome man or the one who in those days traded in such rare goods;
Blagoy: a surname could be given to a kind and sympathetic person;
Bely, Belenky: the surnames sound completely different from Belov; that could be the nickname for a blond man;
Darling, Kind, Krasavin: the names are quite descriptive and sound very beautiful.
Beautiful surnames give their owners a certain weight in society when they first meet, because in Rus' people have long been greeted by their clothes. So we wish everyone who has a sonorous and attractive surname to justify it with their worthy behavior.

I knew two people - one young, the other elderly, but everything is OK... In general, I don’t see any reason to believe in omens - everything depends on you and the child, whoever can’t make a child happy blames it all on unlucky names or something else - and because of this, he doesn’t even try to fix anything... A child with any name can be made happy and raised in such a way that he will be self-confident and achieve a lot in life.
Since everyone has begun to remember the famous Carolines, I will make my contribution: the well-known S.S. Catch is also Carolina. And by the way, she is also very, very attractive in appearance, IMHO :-))

A wonderful biblical name. The Psalter of David is a wondrous song to the God of all Christian believers.

01/13/2014 07:19:07, Alexey TimSorry for the secrecy. It’s a short time, we’re not talking yet. It’s the third child (my husband says it will be a girl, he guessed right the first two times :)). The time is short, but we are already choosing a name :) He is for Polina, I am for Ulyana. Patronymic Alekseevna. The surname is an ordinary Russian, “solid”. Can you tell me about your friends Polin and Ulyana, what kind of people are they? Or maybe tell me what other name? the boy (just in case) seemed to agree - Matvey. I’ll hear about him too. Thank you.
Discussion
We are expecting a third child, we don’t know who yet. If it’s a girl, we’ll call her Ulyana, we’ve already decided. My husband also likes Marfa, but I don’t, so I’m 99% sure it’s Ulyana. I like the name because the girl can be called Yana for short - this is my dream name, but for me it is fundamentally a Slavic (Russian) name, and Yana (Yanina) is not one of those. My husband will see Ulya. And it seems to go well with the names of older children - Glafira and Aglaya
Parents chose between Dasha, Sveta and Ulyana. This name was rare then. I just found out that the name is gaining popularity. In my life (I’m 20), I’ve met my namesake only once. I’m glad that they called me that way; when meeting me, people always paid attention to the name and paid compliments. I have never been a “difficult” child. I can say about my character that I have always been kind, sociable, generous, early childhood very calm (which made my parents very happy =)), stubborn, demanding. I go through life easily, it’s not for nothing that Ulyana means Happiness! =)
In one of the discussions below, the topic came up that only in Russia do people get offended when they are called by their last name. But indeed. In the West, it is normal for a teacher to address a student by his last name. And among themselves, the guys often call each other by last name. And adults have no problem addressing each other by last name. I was always called only by my first name, and when one day in my senior year a new teacher addressed me as “Filyushkina,” I felt that I even blushed from how cringed I was. Although my...
Discussion
Well, for example, it is very common for me to be called by last name among close friends. It seems to be the opposite, emphasizing the simplicity of relationships and a little as a joke. It doesn’t sound rude, it doesn’t offend me... Those who are offended, we don’t address them that way.
Moreover, when calling me by my last name, many pronounce my maiden name, and not the current one, because that’s what they’re used to. -)))
In Russia, it really has developed that people who are subordinates who are dependent on someone superior in any form are called by their last name, be it a real boss or a doctor, a teacher, even a clerk of any kind “on duty.” But those who are respected (or feared:) are addressed by their first name and patronymic. For example, a boss may say: “Ivanova, come see me,” but it is unlikely that a subordinate will say: “Petrov, could I come to you now,” but rather, “Ivan-Ivanovich, could I... and etc". That’s why it’s jarring when they call you by your last name, it turns out to humiliate you and show your subordination.
In the States, it’s not at all offensive when they call you by their last name, it’s very respectful to call Mr or Mrs so-and-so, nice :) But many even official institutions try to call you only by their first name, for example, in a doctor’s office they’ll even call an old lady by her first name, and it’s not offensive , this shows that you are treated not formally, but as an individual, more trust arises. Children at school are called only by name, no matter how many of them there are similar names, and, as a rule, there is no confusion.
We don’t know yet who we are, a boy or a girl, but the problem of choosing a name is already bothering me. Our middle name will be Dmitrievich (vna) and our last name will be Ivanov (a)... I, with all the mixed blood, feel more like a Jew... and for some reason I have a thing - I want to name the child at least +- national name. My husband, in principle, is not against it... but I myself understand that, for example, Yakov Ivanov sounds like shit. For a boy there are at least some other options: Semyon, Efim (I understand that the names are Russian, but there are certain associations...
Discussion
I have Valentin Ivanov - also partly Jewish. :-)
:) Colleague, my husband is Dmitry Ivanov:) I myself did not take his last name for obvious reasons:)
At the institute, when I was pregnant, the girls were making fun of me - like, with such a surname what to name their son (for some reason everyone thought that there would be a son) - only Vasya - Vasya Ivanov :) I told my husband - they laughed and somehow got used to “Vasya”. But a girl was born - Vasya :) Vasilisa Dmitrievna Ivanova. Vasilisa Ivanova - sounds like it, it seems to me :) If there are still children, then we decided that for a boy it would be something like Elisha, Matvey... for a girl - Evdokia, Ulyana, Marfa...
But what to call a girl if the surname is not some tricky one, but simple, for example, Kotova or Vorobyova, etc. Is it really just some Lena or Olya? I have nothing against these names, I’m just thinking about the consequences for the child. I saw here below that Alisa Sergeevna Smirnova does not seem very “cute” to some. Will they not laugh at the child if the name is some kind of original with a “simple” surname?
Discussion
I knew Alena Seledkina and Marianna Grishina. For me, these are strange options. I think you still need to match the first name to the last name and not hope that the woman will later take her husband’s last name. It’s not a fact that after marriage the last name will be more suitable. But if initially the last name and first name are combined, that is, the option is not to take your husband’s last name.

Ragan (Leo) is the name of the lion who saved the leader’s pet (only son) from an alligator and more than once saved human lives. At the same time, he was seriously wounded and died soon after. The leader gave the name to the lion “Ragan”, which meant “Brave” in their language. This was the only lion in the history of mankind that differed from the rest in the Bravery of a lion and the soul of a person.
SIGNS: Planet: Jupiter. Element: Air, warmth-dryness. Zodiac: Leo, Scorpio. Color: yellow, black, white, blue. Day: Friday. Metal: Tin, electrum. Mineral: Red Diamond, sapphire, beryl, hyacinth. Plants: Basil, lavender, violet, oak, pear, apple, mint, chestnut, cinnamon, jasmine, apple of paradise, apricot, eucalyptus. Animals: Lion, tiger, horse, swallow, peacock, dolphin.
Character of the name RAGAN according to the seasons
“Winter” is less strong-willed and spends more effort on securing for himself the material level that he considers acceptable for himself. But he is more open, sociable, frank. “Spring” - Ragan is active and purposeful. Even a comet cannot turn it off its intended path. He is popular with the opposite sex, but rarely reciprocates. “Summer” is lucky. He is less rational, his approach to work has more creativity, extraordinary and non-trivial solutions. “Autumn”-Ragan is lazy, he lacks ease of communication, spontaneity and activity.
Alexander is the most beautiful and strongest name!)
How does this even fit together? My husband and I made a social commitment to our family to finally name our daughter this weekend. The catch is that our last name (Naryshkina) does not want to be combined with anything other than classic Russian names (in my opinion), and my husband (and me) wants something unusual. Help, will you? So that it’s both unusual and combined :) I like Veronica, Simon’s son, Maya’s husband. None of this sounds with the name Naryshkin :) or not?
Let your child have something to say to his peers - besides teasing. When does it become truly offensive? When name-callers encounter the personality traits of the person being called names. For example, there is a girl in the children's group who loves fairy tales about princesses. She herself dreams of being beautiful, like a princess. And what are princesses like? Slender, graceful, flaunting mostly in glass slippers
. The girl will be offended to tears if a nickname like “bear” sticks to her - just because her last name is Mishkina. Her internal image of the “ideal self” is by no means bearish! What's it like boy... We choose a name for the girl to match the Georgian surname. I liked Deya, but in Georgia it is short for Medea, and with the name Medea I have associations exclusively from Greek mythology , and not at all pleasant. Deya in the dictionary of Russian names (released in 1980) is listed as old and, also Greek in origin and meaning “divine.” Do you think we can just call him Dey, or will the Georgians not understand? %-)) Maybe there are still beautiful ones Georgian names?
