Unusual surnames. Funny surnames of people

What is the most important individual feature of each person? That's right - it was his people who began to call each other in ancient times, but the surnames appeared relatively recently. How were they formed? By what principle? Who invented them? Of particular interest is the question of who created the funny surnames. Or have they become such only now, and previously sounded quite normal? We will try to find answers to these and other questions today. It is quite possible that, considering this topic, we will laugh heartily!

in Russia

Different peoples of the world at different times formed the main distinctive features of each person. In Russia, for example, surnames began to appear in the XII-XIII century, but in Europe they began to spread much earlier.

The first to introduce such a concept as a “surname” into use in Russia was Peter I. Before that, people called each other. They were also called "reklo" and "name". In the decrees of the king regarding the census of the population of a certain area, it was stipulated that all residents should be recorded “by name with fathers and with nicknames”, which meant first name, last name and patronymic.

The first surnames in Russia were received by princes, nobility and boyars in the XIV-XV centuries. Basically, they came from the names of their patrimonial estates: Kolomensky, Zvenigorodsky, Tver, etc.

Later (in the 17th-19th centuries), servicemen and merchants of the Russian land began to be called surnames. Their surnames also came from geographical names. But not from the possessions that they disposed of, but from the localities from which they were born: Rostovtsev, Moskvichev, Astrakhantsev, Bryantsev, etc. As you can see, the suffixes of the surnames of merchants differ from the suffixes of the surnames of princes. According to them, modern residents with similar surnames can easily determine which lands their ancestors came from.

In the 19th century, surnames of people close to the church began to form in Russia. Many of them were artificially created from various words of foreign origin. A significant group of such surnames is formed from the names of church holidays and the churches themselves: Assumption, Rozhdestvensky, Epiphany and others.

As for the peasants, their surnames, in fact, reflected their street nicknames. Sometimes they changed. In one family in one generation there could be several surnames at once.

Many peasants of Russia received their "main names" only after the October Revolution, before that they were nameless.

Modern surnames

Currently, every inhabitant of the planet Earth should have a surname (with rare exceptions). Most Russian surnames originated from patronymics, but not by adding the suffixes -ovich, -ich, -inich, etc., but in the form of the so-called semi-patronymic with the suffixes -in, -ov. For example, the son of Peter is Petrov's son (the resulting surname is Petrov), the son of Nikita is Nikitin's son (the surname is Nikitin).

Funny surnames: whose fantasy is it?

But until now, scientists cannot determine the etymology of such surnames as Danilin and Danilov, Voronin and Voronov (with suffixes -ov and -in). The same applies to the question of how and by whom funny surnames were invented. Why do some people say their name with their heads held high, while others blush when introduced in public? Indeed, very funny surnames can sometimes cause self-doubt of their owners, a real obstacle to success. Fortunately, today the legislation allows anyone who wants to change their name to a more attractive one. But then a person becomes part of the gray mass and loses his amazing uniqueness. How to be? Do funny surnames interfere with life? Let's try to figure it out.

Some enthusiasts for the sake of a good mood (their own and other people) create the ratings "The funniest surnames in Russia." The organizers of such actions ask the inhabitants of our country to send real stories of people who have come across one or another original surname in their lives. They study phone books, various registers. They photograph the funny names of doctors on the plates of offices, the names of company executives, badges of employees of retail outlets in order to confirm the reality of the existence of such people. And then they make them publicly available with the help of modern technologies of communication and communication.

Having studied such ratings, you can ensure yourself a good mood for the whole day! And let them say that it’s ugly to laugh at someone else’s last name, that they only do it in kindergartens, we will do it anyway! Not to offend any of the owners of such a name, but for the sake of a sincere, genuine smile on his face. So, get acquainted in absentia with unique people!

List of funny surnames: real stories

An employee of one of the commercial banks regularly maintains a register of shareholders, in which more than seventy thousand names have already gathered. Deciding to highlight the most interesting of them, he was very surprised, as there were a great many of them! Such as Tadpoles, Popik and Truffle, he did not even take into account! Among them, he found the following: Kakashkind, Beeliner, Chmyryuk, Tampak, Intraligator and many others. The owners of these names, by the way, are successful people - the owners and directors of companies! And their interesting name does not prevent them from living at all - on the contrary, it allows them to always be in the spotlight!

Among the 2.7 million subscribers there were the following: Blyabkin, Blyablin, Blyaror, Blyakher, Blyakhman, Blyakherov, Bobik, Bobinchik-Rabinovich. By the way, there are not even one such family in Moscow, but several. Martyshkin, Nedryshchev, Zadnikov, Sukhozad, Pupkin, Sivuho, Khernykh, Hernes, Kheresh, Kherenkov deserve special attention. It remains to sympathize with subscribers with the names Zyuzya, Shmal, Shnurapet, Zuduyviter, Zababashkin, Sivokobylenko, Glukin, Paltsapupa, Sivokoz, Durnopeiko and Narko.

There are also owners of the names Sharikov, Chainikov, Didus, Gavva, Abebe, Varenye, Gergelaba, Zhuikov, Bobro and Bobik in the telephone book of Moscow.

Funny names of football players

Thirty of their owners can easily get into the hit parade of funny names among football players. Mostly they are athletes of foreign football teams. It just so happened that their names, which can be proudly pronounced in their country, sound very funny in Russia. On our soil, such football players will not be able to avoid smiles:

From this article you will learn:

We are already accustomed to the fact that each person has a surname that distinguishes him from the rest, shows his belonging to a particular family and is inherited. However, this was not always the case. The official fixing of the surname for each person took place less than a century ago, which in the framework of history is a very small period of time. The history of each individual surname is unique in its own way. Sometimes dozens of people with the same last name live in the same area. Sometimes it happens that we smile when we hear some unusual surname. We will talk about such rare family names today.

There are a lot of rare surnames that really cut the ear. It's just that there are relatively few carriers of such surnames. It is impossible to cover them all in the article, but we will try to at least classify them, divide them into groups.

1. One-letter surnames: despite the simplicity of their composition, they are quite rare and unusual for hearing. People registered in Moscow by last name O ,YU and E .
2. Surnames with one syllable: they are also not common. Only a few families with surnames live on the territory of Russia An , Yong , That and Before .
3. Surnames-toponyms: these are surnames that are consonant with the names of cities or rivers. For example, not many people have surnames such as:

• Moscow ;
• America ;
• Astrakhan ;
• Kamchatka and others.

1. Legendary surnames: these are the names of literary and historical heroes, whose carriers are also very few. These include names such as:

• Crusoe ;
• Grozny ;
• Pozharsky ;
• Chatsky ;
• Karenin and others.

1. Two-root surnames: this includes surnames obtained by fusion of two words at once. Some naming sounds quite harmonious and quite common, but you rarely see such surnames as:

• Good afternoon ;
• eibogin ;
• backstreet ;
• Zacheshymaniu ;
• Nepeyvoda ;
• Gunpowder ;
• Hvataymukha ;
• Shchiborsch ;
• Ubeikon and others.

1. Surnames consonant with ordinary words: these are words that did not receive a normal suffix during the official fixation with the help of suffixes typical for surnames -ov and -in:

- consonant with nouns:

• Water ;
• Stove ;
• Freezing ;
• Pot ;
• Chizh ;
• Magpie and many others;

- consonant with verbs:

• Tron ;
• Razdobudko ;
• bite ;
• peck ;
• negrey and others;

- consonant with adverbs:

• On the side ;
• Sometimes ;
• Generously ;
• Nothing ;
• Come on and others.

This list is endless. We do not set ourselves the task of covering the entire volume of rare Russian surnames: we have only outlined the main trends in their existence. And after all, each of the surnames has its own unique, unique story that can tell about the life of our distant ancestors.

Where could such rare and unusual surnames, unusual to our ears, come from? Initially, a person was given a nickname that distinguished him from the rest of the mass of the people. If a nickname took root in a person, it gradually became a name attached to a certain clan, family, even if unofficially. So the nickname turned into a surname. Since nicknames are most often rude or derisive in nature, all modern rare, unusual surnames come from them. Their origin can be very different, but people who are engaged in anthroponymy (the history of surnames, first names, patronymics and nicknames of a person) identify several main trends in the origin of such names.

1. Surnames were given appearance person:

• bryla (that was the name of people with plump, drooping lips);
• Lobar (man of large build);
• pimple (the so-called pimply man);
• Uraz (crippled person);
• Mug (ugly person);
• Makura (blind person);
• Fursik (small person).

1. The surname could reflect occupation person, his profession:

• Obabok (as our ancestors called people who hunted mushrooms);
• Vozovik (a person selling goods from a cart);
• Lazebnik (barber);
• Argun (Vladimir carpenter);
• clamp (one who deals with horses).

1. Character features also often displayed in unusual surnames:

• Butt (so in some areas they called a stupid and stubborn person);
• Ogibenya (a nickname for a flattering and deceitful person);
• kichiga (empty man);
• Buzun (fighter);
• Palga (nickname for a clumsy person).

4. Surnames could also be given by place of residence:

• Zaporozhets ;
• Vyatich ;
• Moskvich ;
• Volyn ;
• Uralets and others.

1. Since for many centuries Russian culture was formed under the influence of Orthodoxy, many rare surnames have ecclesiastical origin:

• Prayer ;
• clerk ;
• Bell ;
• chanter ;
• god spirit and others.

Thus, each surname has its own little story. How nice it would be if every person with a unique surname revealed its secret and preserved its history for their descendants. However, in the history of all rare surnames, common points can be distinguished.

XIII-XIV centuries

At this time, people in the villages began to be distinguished not only by their first names, but also by their surnames. Noble boyars received dashing and sonorous surnames, but the peasantry did not know how to speak beautifully, therefore their surnames were the most dissonant. Some of them did not subsequently receive suffixal design and retained their initial form:

• Fritter ;
• Fool ;
• Dubodel ;
• Bogomaz ;
• Tit ;
• stub and others.

70s of the XIX century

In 1874, Alexander II carried out a military reform, according to which universal military duty was introduced, which entailed the legal registration of surnames for all males. It was not uncommon for a recruit to find it difficult to answer the question of what his last name was. In this case, the surname was given right there, most often in appearance. Since there was no time to fantasize, the surnames often turned out to be funny and even rude. Some of them have come down to us:

• Toothless ;
• One-armed ;
• deaf ;
• Crooked ;
• redhead ;
• Forehead and other surnames.

90s of the XIX century

In 1897, the first All-Russian population census was conducted, which legally fixed the surnames not only for men, but also for women and children. The surname finally became officially assigned to a certain family. Somewhere scribes gave the surnames the desired form with the help of typical suffixes, and somewhere they left them in the form of nicknames, which have become rare today:

• Censer ;
• Turnip ;
• Breeze ;
• Milk ;
• Extreme and others.

1930s

In the 30s of the XX century, an important era occurred in the general history of surnames. In Russia, everyone was offered to change their dissonant surnames. Entire queues of people with the most unusual surnames stretched to the registration departments. The Izvestia newspaper managed to capture this historical moment: thanks to it, we have a list of those surnames that disappeared forever in the 30s of the last century:

• Poltorbatko ;
• Around-Fist ;
• Balda ;
• Poodle ;
• doggie ;
• Corn ;
• Barefoot ;
• whiny ;
• fly agaric ;
• Tail and many, many others.

This is such a difficult path for many rare surnames. Some of them managed to survive, others irretrievably gone into the past and exist for us only on paper. Rare surnames are not always funny and ridiculous. Among them there are many euphonious and beautiful - such that their carriers are rightfully proud of.

Each person pays a lot of attention to his surname. He studies its meaning, where it came from, what are its roots. However, the funniest and most unusual surnames presented here do not bring joy to their owners, and many seriously dream of getting rid of such a gift from their parents.

One can only be surprised at the inexhaustible human imagination and have fun from the heart when meeting such proper names in serious documents or on door plates in the offices of respectable bosses. The list presented is real surnames found on the territory of Russia and belonging to its citizens. Numerous photos are evidence of this.

The culture of the Cossacks has always been unique and somewhat different from the cultures of other indigenous peoples of Russia. This originality was also reflected in those nicknames that were given to warriors according to various signs or qualities of character. In the future, with the advent of surnames in the 19th century. they became official surnames.

• Karaybeda
• Motsny
• Rotan
• Gubach
• Nesvyatipaska
• Titsky
• Ubeykobyla
• Good evening
• rodentub
• zasyadwolf
• Hoodier
• Unclean
• Walking day
• Weakness
• Drozhiruk
• rottooth
• Pidkuimikha
• Nosulya
• Neeshmak
• yellowleg
• Helpbatko
• Mordan

Of course, the Cossack guys also had ordinary, Orthodox names, but given the specifics of the army, frequent campaigns and close communication, people with the same names had to be distinguished, and then observation and humor came into play. For example, two Sashas could be very different in appearance or temperament, and then each got his own nickname. Now, no one could confuse them during roll call or call them in battle during a fight.

Bulgarian, Moldovan, Gypsy

Double surnames with strange meanings

In Russia, it is not uncommon for people to have double surnames. Usually they are written with a hyphen and sometimes cause a lot of trouble to their owners. Where do they come from? The paths are different:

Someone adds a pseudonym to their native surname, usually this happens in a creative environment, in order to be different from others and not to be confused with other actors. (For example, the wonderful actor Pankratov Cherny).

There are also historical ones. Two noble families, when they became related, united the surnames of the spouses (Musin-Pushkin).

Someone got a surname in an orphanage during the war years, thanks to the indefatigable imagination of educators.

• Shura-Bura

Some owners, having become adults, are in a hurry to change their surname that poisons their lives, others go through life with it, not complexing and proving in deed that it is not the name that makes a person, but just the opposite, if he is a purposeful, self-sufficient person.

I can’t tell right away, those who read it no longer rumble, like a button accordion .. we sit silently, maybe someone didn’t read the thread ...))) Also continue the topic if you want ... There is no mat, just real surnames .. some people really it's a pity...)))

A little preface. I work in a commercial bank and am engaged in maintaining registers of shareholders. To date, more than 70 thousand people have gathered in these registries (a small town!) And we decided to collect ratings from all the cool names that come across to us, and then play the prize of the week, month, etc.
Just funny surnames like Popik, Tadpoles, Truffle and others are included only in the starting ratings, therefore I don’t give them here.
Well, here's what we have in the collection (I swear, everything is documented, I saw copies of the passport!) Kakashkind, Blatko, Chmyryuk, a woman with the surname Polovaya (an interesting question is: how is life, Polovaya?), An eccentric with a sonorous surname Beeliner (I wonder if he has a cell handed over for free?), a man by the name of Tampak (I just want to add, right?), A worthy citizen Judas Shlemovich Prezerman (that’s Chekhovian: there is no such thing
which could not become a Jewish surname, but what a first name and patronymic!), the director of a reputable company by the name of Piskin (when he calls the office, everyone is dying)
Well, now the first three (in descending order) of the current month I will repeat - I have copies of passports!)
3) Alexander Nikolayevich Sraka (strongly, right?)
2) Leonid Naumovich Khuer (even stronger!) and
1st place - the hit of the season - a woman with the surname INTRALIGATOR (like
international crocodile).
We decided to study all 2.7 million subscribers of the Moscow telephone network and especially calculate such names.
The richest in obscene surnames was the letter "B". In Moscow, one Blyabkin and nine Blyablins are toiling under the yoke of teasers. And even without the number of owners of such surnames as Blyaror, Blyatnik and simply Blyakh. We express our sympathy to these people. And also to Blyakher, Blyakherova and all the Blyakhmans. Against the background of these sufferers, one can only rejoice for three
families that proudly bear the surname Bobik. Or
Bobinchik-Rabinovich. And there are two Nedrischevs in Moscow, but there is one more Sruchkin, four Zadnikovs and one Sukhozad. Five assholes, respectively, five. There is one Podhullin for three Nadhullins. Onanizev is present in two
copies, Pupkin - in three, and Sivuho also in two. The letter “B” in the Russian alphabet can only compete with the letter “X”, which begins with three Kherdvimovs, one Kherny, one Hernes, one Kheresh and three Kherenkovs.
For some reason, the surname Alkashov is very unpopular with us - there are only two of them.
But five families bear the surname Pedik. They are joined by the citizens of Pedora and Pedyachaya, against whose background the owners of the surnames Shnurapet, Shabash, Zyuzya, Zaduyviter, Sivokobylenko, Sivokoz, Paltsapupa live very well,
Zababashkin, Durnopeiko, Narko, Shmal and Glukin. We believe that one citizen Mudel and nine Mudorisovs were very unlucky.
But the fact that in Moscow there were three Good and even three Garny for one Bad, suggests that there are still more good people than bad ones.
Well, and finally: there are as many as 121 Sharikovs among us, of which P.P. only one. Chainikovs -17 (it's good to introduce yourself when a traffic cop stops on the road). And about politics. There are 39 Zyuganovs in Moscow, four Yeltsins. Plus varieties: Yeltsin - 1, Eltsin -2, Elson - 3. Chernomyrdins - 31, Chernomordovs - 1, Chernomordikovs - 1, Chernomordins - 5, Lenins - 6, Krupskys - 36, Stalins - 3.
The Ivanovs are the most common in Moscow - 21,833 subscribers. They are not followed at all by the Petrovs, as one might have assumed, but by the Kuznetsovs at all - 17440. The Petrovs are in third place - 9953, pushing the legitimate Sidorovs, who are also very numerous, from it.
