COMMON
NAMES AND SURNAMES
F Amelia, n An integral part of modern personality, without which it is impossible to imagine a single document, did not always exist in Rus'. It appeared only in the 15th–16th centuries. with the widespread dissemination of written documents, that is, when the need arose to somehow distinguish between people with the same names. (Before this, only names or nicknames were used). Surnames were finally formed only at the end of the 18th century. early XIX century. They came from the names of villages and cities (for example, the common Unezhem surname Varzugin came from the name of the village Varzuga), from the name of the father (for example, the surname Epifanov from the name Epifan), from personal nicknames (Bazanov from the Pomor word “bazan” - brawler), from names of professions, etc.
I.M. talks about Unezhem surnames. Ulyanov (“Country of Pomorie”):
“It’s hard to say who the first settlers were. What were these people called, what nicknames did they have? Maybe they were Evtya, Epifan, Ulyan, who had old Slavic names, or maybe an alien with the nickname “Kukol”? (Kukol is the name of a monastic headdress). Perhaps from these names and nicknames the surnames of the residents of Unezhma appeared - the Evtyukovs, Epifanovs, Ulyanovs, Kukolevs, Akilovs, Tyurdeevs, which have survived in the largest numbers to this day.
The smallest families were the Frolovs and Semikhins - two families each, the Lukinskys, Demidovs, Galashkins and Babins - one each. These families appeared in a time closer to us, and some of them (Lukinsky) - at the beginning of the 20th century. This can also be seen from the settlement: not a single family lived near the church, everyone was on the outskirts, in the worst places.”

It's safe to say that this list includes All indigenous Unezhem surnames, without exception. People with other surnames were either military personnel at the border outpost and school teachers living in the village temporarily, or visitors, of whom many appeared during the formation of the collective farm.
Judging by the sharp predominance of the Kukolev surname over others, it can be assumed that they were the very first settlers on Cape Brannitsa, i.e. founders of the village. Isn’t it symbolic that this particular surname has survived the longest in Unezhma? It was worn by the last permanent resident, Olga Grigorievna Kukoleva.
The Varzugina surname is interesting. They were fugitives from the Pomeranian village of Varzuga on the Terek coast of the White Sea, which was defeated by the guardsmen of Ivan the Terrible in 1568. According to I.M. Ulyanov, some Varzugins even in recent times retained the nickname “Varza”, which may have served as the basis for the formation of the surname. People from Varzuga settled throughout the Pomeranian coast; Varzugins can be found in other villages, but in Unezhma there were the largest number of them.
Names
Unlike surnames, there are a great variety of given names in Unezhma. The most common male name was undoubtedly the name Ivan. Leonty, Savely, Philip were popular, almost forgotten now. Sergei and Evgeniy have not met at all.
Among female names, the most beloved and numerous were Anna and Maria. Common ones are Ulyana and Iraida, rare ones are Elena and Ekaterina. There were practically no (only at a very late time) the names Svetlana, Nina, Irina, Natalya.

The folk forms of Russian names are diverse. Often they go far from the original church form, on the basis of which variants of oral speech were formed.

Russian names
Names, like everything else in the world, have their own history. They, like other words, are created by human imagination, flourish, die, disappearing from the language of the people who were their creator. The history of Russian names goes back to a very distant era and is closely connected with the history of the Russian people and their language.
About four thousand years ago, ancient tribes lived on the plains stretching between the Odra, Vistula and Dnieper rivers - the ancestors of the ancient Slavs. These tribes lived in a tribal system and spoke the same language, which scientists call Common Slavic.
When the process of unifying the tribes began, the Slavs who lived in the East of Europe laid the foundation for the Russian nation. Their language began to differ somewhat from the language of other Slavs, although it did not lose its family ties with them and with the common Slavic language from which it originated.
The oldest monuments of Russian writing date back to the 10th - 11th centuries. From this time on, a reliable, scientifically based history of Russian names begins.
Ancient Russian names were unique characteristics of people. The name was given to a person as a sign by which one could distinguish him from a family or clan.
In some cases, a person was characterized by some external characteristic, in others - by moral qualities, by position in the tribe or family, in relation to him by parents and relatives, and sometimes by his occupation. The latter was possible because names were given not only in early childhood, as now, but also in adulthood. At the same time, the adult name often lived simultaneously with the child’s name.
Here are some ancient names-characteristics:
according to a person’s appearance: Small, White, Oblique, Pockmarked, Curly, Chernysh;
by human character trait: Kind, Clever, Proud, Quiet, Brave, Proud, Fool, Boyan;
by place in the family: First, Second, Drugan, Tretyak, Zhdan, Nechay, Menshak, Senior;
by profession: Kozhemyaka, Villager, Warrior, etc.
When you first encounter such a name, you might think that these are not names, but nicknames. After all, there is no difference between a name and a nickname in ancient Rus' did not have. And each of these names can be documented.
In the ancient handwritten book “The Initial Russian Chronicle” it is mentioned, for example, that the leader of the East Slavic tribe of the Drevlyans named Mal. What does this name mean? Nothing else except that its owner was not tall. The prince's name was a short but very expressive description of him. The name Mal seems funny to us, but a thousand years ago it never occurred to anyone to see this as some kind of encroachment on princely dignity, because characterization names were common and taken for granted.
The names Brave and Good were also found in ancient manuscripts. They speak of the high moral qualities of their bearers. The name Dobrynya (derived from the name Dobr) means “very kind”, “very good”. Zhdan means “the one who was expected.” In ancient Rus', this name was given to children whose birth was a great joy for their parents. Now only the Zhdanov surname retains traces of this name at its core. The names First and Second arose in large families, where the number of children often exceeded a dozen. In such cases, it was difficult to select characteristic names. The name was chosen simply: he was the first to be born - get the name First or First; born second, you will be second or friend, etc. up to the Ninth and even the Tenth.
Such numeral names were found not only among Russians or Slavs, but also among other peoples of Europe. They were quite common among the ancient Romans: Quintus - the fifth, Sextus - the sixth, Septimius - the Seventh, Octavius - the Eighth, Nonnius - the Ninth, Decimus - the tenth, by the way, the name Nonna came into the Russian language, which means the Ninth. From the roots of ancient Russian nouns, the surnames Pervovy, Pervushin, Drugov, Tretyakov, Devyatovsky, Desyatov and the like were later formed.
The name Menshak (Menshik, Menshoy) was given to the youngest son, and the first-born in such a family received the name Elder. Probably these names were already given to adults, because... It is difficult to determine in advance which of the children will be the last. Of course, the grown-up names had a professional connotation: Selyanin, Kozhemyaka, Boyan.
The name Boyan is based on the root - fight, sign. Boyan is a fighter, a warrior. In ancient handwritten documents, the name Boyan is pronounced and written in the Moscow manner with a vowel a: Bayan. The re-vocalization of the name led to its rethinking: it began to be explained based on the basis of the verb “bayat”, i.e. speak - “talker”, “storyteller”, “songwriter”. This name was given to the famous ancient world musician-performer and singer. In honor of him, they named one of the people’s favorite instruments - the Bayan.
The whole world seemed animate to our ancestors, all objects had properties similar to those of humans, so the ancient Slavs began to use the names of birds, animals, plants and various objects as personal names: Wolf, Bear, Nightingale, Beetle, Eagle, Pike, Oak , Birch, etc.
The desire to be like this or that animal seems ridiculous to us. But ancient people thought differently: the wolf is not beautiful, but he is strong and resilient. And these properties are useful to humans. Therefore, in ancient Rus' it was not uncommon to meet a man with such a formidable animal name.
Subsequently, this name fell out of use among the ancient Slavs, but a derivative from it remained - this is the surname Volkov. But it still exists in many languages of the world, which is explained by the internationality of the very principle of using common nouns. So among the Serbs the name Wolf sounds like Vuk, in German as a component of the names Wolfgang, Adolf, Rudolf. It was also found in ancient European languages: in Gothic - Ulf or Wulf, in Latin Lupus, from which, by the way, it came Russian name Loop, which is found in A. N. Ostrovsky’s play “Puchna” - Loop Lupych Pereyarkov. The name Nightingale was given in ancient times talented singers. It is not difficult to guess that the Solovyov surname came from this name.
Also, the ancient Slavs had blind faith in mascot names, names with a trick.
Because Our ancestors were very afraid of “evil spirits”, evil words, the evil eye and other dangers that seemed to them everywhere. According to their ideas, people who were most in danger were those who were more honest, whose intelligent, positive traits were usually emphasized by their names-characteristics. For the purpose of deception evil people and evil spirits, caring parents deliberately gave their good children bad names. Boys who were smart and beautiful were deliberately called Fools and Freaks, honest and brave boys were called Scoundrels and Cowards, and those who were dear to the heart were called Nechayami.
Traces of such “preventative” names have survived to this day in the foundations modern surnames such as Nechaevs, Durakovs, etc.
What to name a newborn? This question worries many parents. In pre-revolutionary times, the issue of a name for a child was resolved simply. Registration of newborn children was carried out only by the church where the baptism ceremony took place. Thus, not a single child escaped baptism, even if his parents were unbelievers.
What names were given then? In Russian Orthodox Church there were (and still are) special books - monthly books, or calendars. In the month's book, for each day of each month, the names of the saints who are honored by the church on that day are written down. Before the baptismal ceremony, the priest offered a choice of several names that were listed in the calendar for the child’s birthday. This usually ended the matter.
Why were there so many Ivans in Rus'? Yes, for the simple reason that the name Ivan (John) appears 170 times (!) in the complete calendar, that is, almost every other day.
True, sometimes the priest made concessions and, at the request of the parents, gave a different name, which was not listed in the calendar for that day. This, in fact, explains that sometimes a name that is rarely found in the calendar appears quite often in life. Thus, the Slavic names Faith, Nadezhda and Lyubov were often given to children in pre-revolutionary times, despite the fact that Vera appears in the calendar only twice a year, and Nadezhda and Lyubov only once each.
But, in any case, the child could only be given the name that was in the calendar. No “free thinking” was allowed here.
Parents found themselves in a different position after the Great October Socialist Revolution. Registration of newborns began to be carried out by civil registry offices (registry offices), and parents could now choose any name: old (former church), borrowed name (Polish, German, etc.) and, finally, could even invent a new name.
Taking advantage of the freedom to choose a name, parents sometimes gave their children strange, unusual names. About three thousand new and borrowed names are known, which, with rare exceptions, will never take root on Russian soil. Here are names such as Oak, Birch, Carnation, Lilac. Almost all elements of the Mendeleev system (Radium, Vanadium, Tungsten, Iridium, Ruthenium, etc.), minerals (Granite, Ruby) are represented. Personal names are geographical names(Altai, Himalaya, Kazbek, Ararat, Volga, Onega, Amur, Cairo, etc.) and all the names of the months, from January to December, mathematical terms and technical names (Median, Radian, Hypotenuse, Algebrina, Tractor, Turbine, Railcar, Diesel, Combine, etc.).
A lot of names were formed from revolutionary slogans, names of institutions, etc. For example, Ikki (Executive Committee of the Communist International), Roblen (born to be a Leninist), Remizan (world revolution began), Revvola (revolutionary wave), Revdit (revolutionary child ), Lorikarik (Lenin, October Revolution, industrialization, collectivization, electrification, radioification and communism), Loriex (Lenin, October Revolution, industrialization, electrification, collectivization, socialism).
There is no need to even talk about such dissonant names as Tsas (Central Pharmaceutical Warehouse), Glasp (Glavspirt), Raitiya (district printing house) and the like.
In the post-revolutionary period, the influx of foreign names increased. There are names borrowed from different peoples: Robert, Romuald, Rudolf, Richard, Josephine, Edward, Eric, Jeanne, etc.
Names appear consisting of two or even several words: White Night, Artillery Academy, Hammer and Sickle, Jean-Paul-Marat. L.V. Uspensky in the article “They call Zovutka” gives the following female names: Great Worker (!) and Cherry tree color in May.
Finally, there are also names - from the words read from the end: Ninel - Lenin, Avksoma - Moscow.
Getting carried away too much foreign names, parents forgot that these names often sound dissonant with the Russian patronymic and surname of the bearer of the name. For example: Harry Semenovich Popov, Diana Krivonogova, Robert Ovechkin, Red Alekseevich.
Sometimes “revolutionary” names fall into the same awkward combination, for example: Revolution Kuzminichna. Some parents like to give their daughters a diminutive form of their name instead of the full form. Sometimes in registry offices they write it down like this: Lyusya, Ira, Ina, Rita, Nata, etc. While the bearers of the name are still children, this sounds good. But Nata graduated from high school and became a teacher, Aga became a doctor, Rita became an engineer. And how ridiculous it will sound: teacher Nata Petrovna, famous surgeon Lena Romanovna, or even better: professor Lyusya Kondratyevna Kondakova!
But the fate, perhaps, of most of these names is the same: the bearer of such a name grows up and raises the question of changing it.
It is impossible not to mention the so-called “fashion” for names. It seems even the most beautiful names lose their charm if they occur too often. Teacher S.N. Uvarova from the village of Korostovo, Ryazan region, writes that “out of 23 students who graduated from the seven-year school in 1955, there were 17 Nins! Over the past two years, newborn girls in the named village are called either Tanya or Nadya. Exceptions are rare.” At different times they were very fashionable male names Valery, Gennady, Igor, Gleb, Vsevolod, Vadim. And this is not only in the village. The same thing is written in newspapers in Leningrad and other cities.
Is there a need to blindly follow the example of others with such a wealth of Russian names?
I would like to warn parents about their desire to name their child something special. This leads to the appearance of pretentious names that are unusual for a Russian person and, as a rule, does not subsequently bring joy to their child. It is difficult to recommend names because the choice of name is determined by the taste of the parents. But first of all, old Russian names deserve attention, such as Peter, Alexander, Constantine, Ivan, Maria, etc. Although in the distant past these names were borrowed by us from the Greeks, they have existed on Russian soil for almost a thousand years and have long since become Russified and overgrown a large number of derivative forms.
In addition to the so-called canonical names, many old Russian and Slavic names have come into use among us. For example: Borimir, Borislav, Mstislav, Peresvet, Svetozar, Svyatoslav, Dobroslava, Miloslava, Vsemila, Lyubomir, etc.
Finally, some new names, successfully composed, have also caught on and can be recommended. This famous names Vladilen, Vladilena, Ninel and others.
Surnames from personal names
Most Russian surnames are formed from personal names and nicknames. They were given in the form of a possessive adjective, answering the question “whose son?”: Ivanov, Vasiliev, Romanov, Ilyin, Kuzmin. In fact, these are middle names that gradually turned into surnames. Moreover, the now common form of patronymics with the ending - ich Previously, only noble persons were allowed to use it, and the vast majority of the population used the form of patronymics with the ending - oh, - in. The most common surnames in our country are those formed from the baptismal names contained in the Saints: Ivanov, Vasiliev, Petrov, Mikhailov, Fedorov, Yakovlev, Andreev, Alekseev, Alexandrov, Grigoriev, etc.
Among surnames formed from baptismal names, a special group consists of surnames from diminutive names. The variety and abundance of diminutive names led to a variety of forms of surnames derived from the same church name. For example, from the most common name among Russians in the 14th–19th centuries, Ivan, came more than a hundred different surnames: Ivanov, Ivashev, Ivashkin, Ivashutin, Ivankov, Vanin, Vanyushin, Vankin, Vanyutin, Vanyagin, etc. From popular name Vasily formed the surnames Vasilyev, Vasin, Vaskov, Vasyutkin, Vasishchev, Vasintsev, Vasyagin, Vasyatkin, Vaseykin, Vasechkin, as well as the Ukrainian surnames Vasilenko, Vasilyuk, Vasilchenko, Belarusian Vasilevich, Vasilenok, Bulgarian Vasilev. From the name Mikhail came the surnames Mikhailov, Mikhalev, Mikhalkov, Mikhaev, Mishkin, Mishutin, Mikhalishchev, Mishechkin, Mishin, Mishutkin and others.
In Russia in the 16th - 17th centuries, the use of derogatory forms of names formed with the suffix was widespread - k(a), who emphasized the humble origins of man: Vanka, Petka, Dunka, Timoshka, Danilka. From such names the surnames Ivankin, Timoshkin, Danilkin, etc. were formed.
Sometimes it can be difficult to figure out from what name a particular surname came from. For example, it is not immediately clear that the surnames Matov, Matyukhin and Matyushin are formed from the name Matfei, from its diminutive forms Matya, Matyanya, Matyusha, and the surnames Grinev, Grinkov - from the name Grigory, Grinya, Grinko. The surname Krysanov actually comes not from the name of the animal rat, but from the church name Chrysanthos (Greek for “golden-colored”) in its Russian form Kirsan.
Many of the church names have long gone out of use, but the surnames still remain: Tropin - from Eutropius (Greek “easily adaptable”), through the shortened form Tropa; Ostanin - from Eustathius (Greek “strong, good”) or Eustachia (Greek “blooming”) through the diminutive form Ostan; Zotov, Izotov - from the church name Zotik, Zot, Izot (Greek “life-giving”); Melekhov from Melentiy (Greek: “caring”) through the shortened form Melekh; Alferov from Greek name Eleutherium (“free”), which was used in the form of Alfer.
Very rarely, but still there are surnames formed from female church names: Anyutin, Marinin, Matrenin, Nadezhdin, Glafirin, etc. Children received a surname after their mother’s name only when the woman played main role in family. This could be in the case of widowhood or the husband leaving for a long time military service, when the wife took on all the worries about the household and raising children. Sometimes a woman's predominant role in the family was due to the wealth or position of her parents, but all this was quite rare. Sometimes the mother's surname was given to her illegitimate children.
Let us give examples of surnames formed from female names: Susanin - from the church name Susanna, Tatyanin, Tatyanichev - from the name Tatyana, Varvarin - from Varvara. This also includes the surnames Katyushin, Marfushin, Marinin, Maryin, etc. And surnames such as Dashin, Dashkov could have been formed from female name Daria, Dasha. However, it is more likely that they originated from the male church name Darius, which was used in a diminutive form as Dashko. The surname Olenin did not come from the name of the animal, but from old name Deer, which was used as a diminutive form of the male names Alexander and Alexey. The possibility of forming this surname from the female name Olena, a diminutive of Elena, cannot be ruled out.
Along with baptismal names, until the 18th century, Old Church Slavonic secular names were used, which were given to the child in the family. These names were very diverse, and in some cases it is now difficult to determine whether the surname came from a secular name or from a nickname. Totemic worldly names, derived from the names of animals, birds, fish, and plants, were popular in Rus'. The surnames Sokolov, Lebedev, Voronin, Volkov, Soloviev, Orlov, Gusev, Kozlov, Sorokin, Sobolev are derived from the totemic personal names Sokol, Swan, Raven, etc. The surname Slonov could have been formed not only from the name of a distant exotic beast - the elephant. In the old days, any large, heavy and clumsy animal was called an elephant; for example, an elk could be called an elk elephant.
Families often gave names and nicknames of similar meaning, which then became the surnames of various branches of the family. Interesting examples of archival records of the 14th–17th centuries are given by academician Stepan Borisovich Veselovsky in his book “Onomastics”: the Novgorod landowner Okun Ivan Linev, who lived in the mid-15th century, had sons Andrei Som and Alexei Ersh, and the Smolensk boyar Ivan Grigorievich Osoka Travin had sons Grigory Pyrey (from whom the Pyryev surname came), Ivan Otava (Otava is the name of the grass that grew back after mowing) and Vasily Vyazel (Vyazel is the name of field peas). Or another example from archival records: the sons of the Tula patrimonial owner Nikita Vasilyev were named Sophon Meshok, Ivan Sharap and Ivan Meshochek, and Sophon Meshok had a son Osip Karman. Sharap was a common worldly name, and the now forgotten meaning of the word “sharap” meant “robbery, robbery.”
As worldly names, they also chose the so-called amulets names, which were given for the purpose of deceiving the “evil spirits”: Fool, Malice, Nekras, Bad, Ugly, Nevzor (nondescript), Scoundrel (unsuitable for anything), Nenash (stranger) and others. From these names the now widespread surnames Nekrasov, Nevzorov, Durakov, Zlobin, Nenashev, etc. were formed.
Among worldly names, such names as Lyubim, Smirnoy, Bogdan, Malets, Zhdan, Nezhdan, Nechay, Nayden, Pervusha, Belyay, Veshnyak, Pozdnyak, Shumila, Potekha, Likhach, Tihomir, etc. were very popular. These names gave rise to the Lyubimov surnames , Smirnov, Bogdanov, Maltsev, Zhdanov, Belyaev, Veshnyakov, Shumilin, etc.
Worldly names could indicate some feature of a person’s appearance or character: Belyay, Bogatyr, Krasava, Chistyak, Roslyak, Ushak, Vereshchaga (chatterbox), Govorukha, Molchan, Suvora (stern, unsociable), Nesmeyan, Gloomy, Buyan. They could indicate the time of birth of the child: Veshnyak (born in spring), Osenya (born in autumn), Nedelya (born on Sunday, which used to be called week); weather conditions that accompanied the birth of the child: Frost, Padera (winter storm), Wind. Often worldly names reflected the order of appearance of children in the family: First, Pershak, Vtorak, Tretyak, Fifth, Pozdnyak, Poskrebysh, Mizin (the youngest in the family). From ancient worldly names the surnames Belyaev, Bogatyrev, Krasavin, Chistyakov, Ushakov, Vereshchagin, Govorukhin, Molchanov, Suvorov, Veshnyakov, Yesenin, Nedelin, Morozov, Paderin, Vetrov, Pershakov, Tretyakov, Poskrebyshev, Mizinov and many others were formed.
Nicknames were then added to worldly names, which a person received during his life and which could also be passed on to descendants and give rise to new surnames. Nicknames were very diverse, often unexpected and original, and this explains the huge number of our surnames. Nicknames could have been derived from distinctive features appearance or character, by some behavioral characteristics, by type of activity and everyday characteristics, but they were always associated with a certain assessment of a person.
For example, the Nashchokin nobles derived their surname from the nickname Nashchoka, which their ancestor received in the 14th century after being wounded in the cheek during the battle of the Tverites with the Khan’s army. Also, the industrialists the Stroganovs considered their ancestor an ancestor who had been in Turkish captivity and was mutilated, as they used to say “strogan.” Hero of the Soviet Union, pilot Mikhail Mikhailovich Gromov, said that he inherited his surname from an ancestor who was a singer in one of the St. Petersburg cathedrals and had a very strong, thunderous voice. Surname famous singer Lyudmila Zykina also points to an ancestor who had a loud voice, since in the past there was a fairly common nickname Zyka, which was given to a screamer, a loud-voiced person.
