Kirill Sobolev

If the hands are golden, then it doesn’t matter where they grow from.

Like a family, a surname is not chosen: everything is predetermined even before the birth of a child. The origin of funny names is connected with the traditions of different nations. Sometimes funny surnames in the passport become an obstacle to building a career, so it's good that everyone has the right to change their first and last name after reaching the age of majority.

Cool last names

Modern unusual surnames are a memory of the era in which they appeared. In Russia, decent noble families began to form relatively recently, and before that, families were called by words that were used in folk speech and were not subject to any censorship. So, for example, if one of the father's eyes was blackened or he was lame, the family was called Krivenky. With the same logic, they named Bezpalye, Bezukhie and Bezruchko. No other countries in the world can compare with Ukraine and Russia in the originality of surnames.

Slavic cool, unusual surnames:

  • unwise;
  • whiny;
  • Wretched;
  • Semirozum;
  • Prusachok;
  • Pyatizhopkin;
  • Bobinchik, ave.

Funny surnames of people

People of different nationalities have original, interesting surnames. Many of them surprise and make you laugh until you have stomach cramps. It is unlikely that everyone who got funny surnames, first names or patronymics in the passport lives in harmony with them, because such people have to be mocked and ridiculed from others since childhood. Nevertheless, it is worth treating this with irony and humor, because there will always be a person who is even more unlucky, for example, Lyubov Koshek or Zakhar Zapadlovsky.

For VK for girls

Living with a dissonant surname is not very comfortable, so most girls tend to change or at least hide it from others. Young women choose beautiful, concise pseudonyms for social networks, only partially resembling a real surname. Thanks to this, discontent and shame disappear, but friends, nevertheless, easily recognize girls. What cool surnames for Vkontakte exist? Examples of successfully modified aliases:

  • for Naumenko Ira - Naum Irina, Naira;
  • for Prus Sveta - Lana Tarakanova, Lana Prus;
  • for Anna Kuznetsova - Anna Blacksmith (literal translation into English);
  • for Nastya Ivanova - Ivanna Nastina (replacement of FI).

A surname is a family name added to a person's given name and patronymic. The name for each of us was chosen by our parents. The patronymic is formed from the name of the father. Our surname is also, as a rule, paternal, and passed to the father from the grandfather ...(problem issue)

After reviewing the list of surnames of students in our class, I came to the conclusion that I find it difficult to explain the meaning of even very familiar surnames. But every original word, from which the surname was formed, meant something! Hundreds and thousands of words that have disappeared from the living language have come down to us through surnames. The more incomprehensible surnames we “decipher”, the more we will recognize forgotten words. And thus we will discover a lot of new things about our ancestors, their occupations, life, beliefs, the wider and more complete our ideas about the past of our Motherland will be.(hypothesis)

And the material for these discoveries is not found anywhere in a museum, archive or behind seven seals, but literally everywhere: every hour we pronounce, hear from interlocutors, read the names of different people in books. We read, but we don't think. Let's try to make sure that our surnames keep many curious secrets.

among parents and fourth-grade students “Do you (do you know) what your (your) surname means?” Survey results again

6 gave a positive answer.

surnames.

1. The magic key to discovering these secrets of our surnames is science. anthroponymy.

This science has existed since the 60s of the 20th century. Word"anthroponymy"

translated from Greek as " anthropo" - a person and "onyma" - a name. The science

studies personal names, patronymics, surnames, nicknames of people.

Famous philologists dealt with issues of anthroponymy:

A.V.Superanskaya, V.D. Bondaletov, I.A. Korolev, T.F. Vedina.

2. The word "surname" of Latin origin: "famulus" means "slave",

"A surname is a hereditary family name added to a personal name."

3 .The first surnames in the now known sense arose in the 10-11th centuries in

Northern Italy.

In Russia, the first to have the right to have surnames werein the 14th-15th centuries princes and boyars.

From the 16th century surnames began to have nobles.

In the 18th and 19th centuries surnames receivedservants and merchants, in the 19th century -

Russian clergy, in end of the 19th century and up to the 30s of the 20th century

peasants ( after the abolition of serfdom in 1861). Before

4 .Most often Russian surnames are formed from nicknames and personal namesthrough possessive adjectives. They have suffixes–ov/-ev, -in and answer the question"Whose? Whose will you be?The difference is in what sound the generating word ends with:-ov added to names and

Nicknames into a hard consonant(Ignat-Ignatov, Mikhail - Mikhailov),

Ev to names and nicknamesinto a soft consonant(Grigory-Grigoriev,

Ignatius-Ignatiev),-in - to the basics on -a, -я (Erema-Eremin, Ilya-Ilyin).

5 .According to scientists, Russian surnames can be divided into 5 main groups:

1 ) derived from Christian male baptismal names(Sergeev,

Andreev). This is the largest group of surnames. So, for example, the name Ivan

In our class, out of 26 surnames, 10 are formed from male names.

2 ) surnames that retained basically worldly (which were given without the participation of the church) names and nicknames.

Our ancestors received nicknames for some distinctive feature, for example, height - Korotkov, gait - Volokushin, etc. According to research, the most common surname in Russia is Smirnov. Why? It turns out that earlier, in a large family, peasant parents sighed with relief if quiet, unobtrusive children were born. This is a rather rare quality and is captured in the name of Smyrna. It, therefore, was often the main name of a person in life, since the church name was immediately forgotten. In our class, 11 surnames are formed from worldly names and nicknames (Gushchina, Vyguzova, etc.).

3 ) surnames formed from professional nicknames of ancestorstelling which of them did what. There are 4 such surnames in our class (Baibara, Wagner, Gurnik, Konopkin).

4) surnames formed from the name of the area where one of the ancestors came from.The basis of such surnames became geographical names (Moskvina)

5) surnames belonging to the Orthodox clergy(Trinity - in honor of the Holy Trinity, Rozhdestvensky - in honor of Christmas).

6. Thus, after analyzing all the collected materials, we came to

I conclude that my last name Grigorieva derived from the name Gregory. From

Grigoriev. What does she mean? The baptismal name Gregory goes back to the Greek verb "grigoreo" - "keep awake." The name Gregory was associated with many saints, but above all with St. Gregory the Wonderworker, probably the first bearer of this name. The high religious and historical status of the name led to its frequent use in church circles, both in the Catholic and Orthodox traditions: 16 Roman popes and 7 Patriarchs of Constantinople were bearers of the name.

The fact that surnames formed from the full form of the name had families that enjoyed great authority in the area. Neighbors respectfully called them by their full names, unlike other estates, which were called, as a rule, by diminutive names (Grishkin, Grishunin, etc.)

Having begun to study the meaning of my surname, the origins of its origin, I

7 .The number of surnames derived from given names is great. it

It's actually? What is the most common last name in our school?

Analysis of the lists by class led to the conclusion: the most common surname in our school- Popovs , and my surname is 0.16% of the total number of surnames (1236).

There can be many reasons for the widespread use of the Popov family name. Not all Popovs are descendants of priests. Pop (or Popko) as a personal name was quite common among the laity. Religious parents gladly gave their children this name. This once again testifies to the deep Orthodox faith of the Russian people.

Conclusions:

There are 26 students in our class. The theme of our work has become

The formation of the surname Grigoriev The church name Grigory served as the basis for the surname Grigoriev. The baptismal male name Gregory in Greek means "awake, awake, vigilant." One of the patrons of this name is St. Gregory, Patriarch of Antioch, who became famous for his piety, modesty and desire to make the life of believers, especially people from the people, less difficult. Among the eminent representatives of the family are Vasily Vasilyevich Grigoriev (1816-1881), an orientalist, by origin a nobleman of the Vladimir province; Pyotr Grigoryevich Grigoriev (1807-1854), Russian actor and playwright.

The result of our work:

Conclusions: The history of a surname is the history of my ancestors, the history of my family, and to get in touch with history means to take a step towards knowing one's kind, to compiling and preserving the genealogy of one's family. Interest in the study of surnames instills in us love for our family, our origins, respect for the history of both our own and other peoples.

Some surnames originated from place names. From them you can get an idea of ​​\u200b\u200bhow the settlement of this area took place. Many surnames are reminiscent of disappeared professions: Bortnikov, Konovalov, Luchnikov, Mechnikov, Sokolnikov and others. The history of work and life left a trace in surnames, the lexical bases of which meant social relations (Batrakov, Polovnikov), items of clothing (Laptev, Nogovitsyn), food (Shangin, Sbitnev), customs and rituals (Panihidin, Ryazhenykh). Many surnames tell about past superstitions: in families where children often died, newborns, in order to deceive the "evil spirits", were given the names of amulets: Nayden, Nenash, Nakhodka, patronymics from which later became surnames - Naydenov, Nenashev, Nakhodkin. The surnames Nekrasov, Fools, Negodyaev are connected with the names-amulets.

The research work convinced us that surnames can be an interesting source for historical, sociological, linguistic research, as they reflect time and a person - his social status and spiritual world.

The word "surname" comes from the Latin familia - family. Once and in

in Russian, “surname” could mean “family”, this is reminded

expressions "family resemblance", "family traditions". Connection between

the words "family" and "surname" are not accidental, the surname is a family

the name added to the name and patronymic of a person. Name for everyone

we were chosen by our parents. The patronymic is formed from the name of the father, which, in

in turn, he was given by his parents - our grandparents. Last name

us, too, as a rule, paternal, and passed to the father from the grandfather, to the grandfather from the great-grandfather ...

Who invented it first, where did it come from?

After reviewing the list of names of students in our class, I came to the conclusion that

that I find it difficult to explain the meaning of even very familiar and familiar

surnames such as Vorobyova, Androsov, Nikitina. But each original

the word from which the surname was formed meant something! Through surnames

hundreds and thousands of words have come down to us that have disappeared from the living language completely or

preserved only in local dialects. The more

we will “decipher” incomprehensible surnames, the more we will learn the forgotten words.

And thus we will discover a lot of new things about our ancestors, their occupations, life,

beliefs, the wider and fuller will be our ideas about the past of our

Motherland. And the material for these discoveries is not somewhere in the museum,

archive or behind seven seals, but literally everywhere: we say hourly,

we hear from interlocutors, we read the names of different people in books. We read, but

we do not think. Let's try to make sure that our names are stored in

a lot of interesting secrets.

The magic key to the discovery of these mysteries is the science of anthroponymy.

This science has existed since the 60s of the 20th century. The word "anthroponymy"

translated from Greek as "anthropo" - a person and "onyma" - a name. The science

studies personal names, patronymics, surnames, nicknames of people. Development

The main issues of anthroponymy were dealt with by well-known philologists:

A.V.Superanskaya, V.D. Bondaletov, I.A. Korolev, T.F. Vedina. This science

young, only developing, there are still many questions to be answered

find answers to scientists (for example, it is not known exactly how many surnames

exists in Russia - it is believed that from 500 thousand to 2 million).

The purpose of our research work:study the history of origin and

the meaning of my surname and the surnames of my classmates.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to solve the following

tasks:

To study materials on the history of origin and the meaning of surnames in Russia;

Find out what factors influenced the process of forming surnames;

Conduct a study "What is the most common surname in our

School?

Create a cool album "4 B class. The secret of our surnames."

In writing our research paper, we used the following

methods: collection of information and materials on this topic, analysis of the collected

materials, interviewing and questioning my family members, questionnaires

pupils and parents of the 4th grade, comparison of different points

perspectives and opinions on the topic.

Being born, a person receives not only a name, but also inherits the surname of his

Ancestors. And everyone, sooner or later, thinks about the question "What

does my last name mean? So I asked myself this question, but to answer immediately

couldn't do it. At the very beginning of our work, we conducted a survey

among parents and fourth-grade students “Do you know (do you know)

What does your (your) last name mean? Survey results again

proved the relevance of work on this topic. Of the 54 children surveyed

6 gave a positive answer, and 48 do not know the meaning of their last name.

Of the 56 parents interviewed, 11 attempted to explain the meaning of their

surnames, 45 - gave a negative answer. (See Appendix)

I tried to involve my classmates in my research work,

to interest them in this topic, and I succeeded. Guys with pleasure

engaged in work on this topic.

Having collected and studied materials from various sources of information (books,

dictionaries, the Internet), here's what we learned:

1. The word "surname" of Latin origin: "famulus" means "slave",

"servant". And initially the "surname" in ancient Rome called everyone

Slaves owned by one person. This is a late one-root word

"Familia" began to denote family, genus. In Russia, the word "surname" is also

At first it was used in the meaning of "family". In the 17th and 18th centuries there were still

The word "nickname": in those days it meant, called a surname. And

Only in the 19th century did the word "surname" acquire its second meaning, which became

Main. In the "Explanatory Dictionary of the Russian Language" by S.I. Ozhegov it is written:

Surname is a hereditary family name added to a personal name.

Name."

2. The first surnames in the now known sense arose in the 10-11 centuries in

Northern Italy.

In Russia, the first to have the right to have surnames were the princes in the 14-15 centuries

And boyars. From the 16th century, nobles began to have surnames.

At the beginning of the 18th century, the Russian Emperor Peter I issued a Decree: “Record all

People living in localities, by names with fathers and with nicknames.

In the 18-19 centuries, servants and merchants received surnames, in the 19 century -

Russian clergy, at the end of the 19th century and up to the 30s of the 20th century -

Peasants (after the abolition of serfdom in 1861). Before

Serfs in Russia were not supposed to have a surname.

3. Most often, Russian surnames are formed from nicknames and personal names through

Possessive adjectives. They have suffixes –ov/-ev, -in and

They answer the question “Whose? Whose will you be? The difference lies in which

The sound ends with the generating word: -ov was added to the names and

Nicknames for a hard consonant (Ignat-Ignatov, Mikhail - Mikhailov),

Ev to names and nicknames on a soft consonant (Grigory-Grigoriev,

Ignatius-Ignatiev), -in - to the basics on -a, -i (Erema-Eremin, Ilya-Ilyin).

4. According to scientists, Russian surnames can be divided into 5 main groups:

1) formed from Christian male baptismal names (Sergeev,

Andreev). This is the largest group of surnames, which indicates

The deep Orthodox faith of the Russian people. So, for example, the name Ivan

(John), translated as "the grace of God", was the most

Common in Russia. Hence one of the most common

In Russia, surnames are Ivanov (Vanin, Vanyushin, Ivannikov).

In our class, out of 26 surnames, 10 are formed from male names (see appendix).

2) surnames that retained basically worldly ones (which were given without

church participation) names and nicknames. Our ancestors got nicknames for

Some distinguishing feature, for example, height - Korotkov, gait -

Volokushin, etc. According to research, the most common

The surname in Russia is Smirnov. Why? It turns out that earlier in a large

Peasant parents sighed with relief if they were born quiet,

Non-screaming children. This is a rather rare quality and imprinted in the name

Smirnaya. It, therefore, was often the main name of a person in life,

Because the church was immediately forgotten.

In our class, 11 surnames are formed from worldly names and nicknames (Gushchina,

Vyguzov, Shishkin and others).

3) surnames formed from professional nicknames of ancestors,

Telling which of them did what. In our class of such surnames -

4 (Baibara, Wagner, Gurnik, Konopkin).

4) surnames formed from the name of the area where one of the

Ancestors. Geographical names became the basis of such surnames.

(Novgorodtsev, Moskvina)

5) surnames belonging to the Orthodox clergy (Troitsky - in

Honor of the Holy Trinity, Rozhdestvensky - in honor of Christmas).

5. Thus, after analyzing all the collected materials, we came to

I conclude that my surname (Grigorieva) came from the name Grigory. From

The name was formed patronymic (Grigoriev son), and then the surname

Grigoriev. What does she mean?

The family name of the Grigorievs refers to a common type of Russian

Surnames. The baptismal name Gregory comes from the Greek verb

"grigoreo" - "keep awake". Gregory is one of the few actually

Christian names that appeared in the era of the formation of Christianity,

The name was metaphorically compared with the personal qualities of the ideal

Christian. The name Gregory was associated with many saints, but before

In total - with St. Gregory the Wonderworker, probably the first bearer

This name. The high religious and historical status of the name determined it

Frequent use in ecclesiastical circles, both Catholic and

Orthodox tradition: the bearers of the name were 16 popes and

7 Patriarchs of Constantinople.

Our ancestors believed that when forming a surname from a baptismal name

The patronage of the saints goes to the whole family. Most likely the founder

The Grigoriev family was a man from the privileged class. The thing is

The fact that surnames formed from the full form of the name had mainly

Social nobility or families who enjoyed great

Other estates, called, as a rule, diminutive derivatives,

Common names (Grishkin, Grishunin, etc.)

Of course, the surname Grigorieva is a wonderful

Monument of Slavic writing and culture. No wonder that

Having begun to study the meaning of my surname, the origins of its origin, I

I would like to know my family tree. And this topic, I think, will become

Continuation of our further research work.

6. The number of surnames derived from names is a great many. it

It prompted us to do a little research. Everyone is hearing

The most common surnames: Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov. But is it

Is it for real? What is the most common last name in our school?

Where does my last name fit on this list?

Analysis of the lists by class led to the conclusion that the most common

The last name in our school is the Popovs, and my last name is 0.16% of

The total number of surnames (1236), (see appendix).

There can be many reasons for the widespread use of the Popov family name.

Not all Popovs are descendants of priests. Pop (or Popko)

As a personal name, it was quite common among the laity. religious

Parents gladly named their children by this name. This is once again

It testifies to the deep Orthodox faith of the Russian people.

Conclusion.

The history of the surname is the history of my ancestors, the history of my family, and

to get in touch with history means to take a step towards the knowledge of one's own kind,

to the compilation and preservation of the genealogy of his family.

This research work is the result of a collaboration between scientific

leader, students and parents of our class for several

months. There are 26 students in our class. The theme of our work has become

Interesting to classmates, they also wanted to unravel the secret of their

Surnames. We shared the results of our work with other students.

classes who enthusiastically joined the study of this topic.

In order to systematize and generalize the accumulated material, we are preparing

collection "4 B class. The secret of our surnames."

We have achieved our goal, but we do not consider that our work is finished.

Interest in the study of surnames instills in us love for our family, our

origins, respect for the history of both their own and other peoples. Exists

a large number of dictionaries, books, scientific papers on this topic. A theme

always remains interesting and relevant.

The results of a survey of students MOU Kipenskaya sosh

Interested in the history of their family name and can explain its origin

They are interested in the history of their family name, but cannot explain its formation

Never thought about it

They love their last name

Indifferent to their surname


Origin

  • Word "surname" - of Latin origin. In the Roman Empire, it denoted a community consisting of a family of masters and their slaves. In the general case a surname is a hereditary generic name that indicates a person's belonging to a particular genus.

Surname formation

  • Most often, surnames are formed from personal names through possessive adjectives. Russian surnames often have suffixes -ov / -ev, -in , from the answer to the question "whose?".

Surname formation

  • The difference is purely formal: -ov added to nicknames or names with a hard consonant ( Bogdan - Bogdanov , Michael - Mikhailov )
  • -ev to names or nicknames on a soft consonant ( Ignatius - Ignatiev , starve - Golodyaev ), -in to the basics on -and I (Erema - Eremin , Ilya - Ilyin ).

Surname formation

  • Another group of Russian surnames was formed from the names of settlements, church holidays and the names of saints with the help of a suffix and ending -sky/-sky (Ilyinsky , Christmas - from Ilyinskaya, Nativity Church, Makovetsky - owner of Makovets, Gorsky - the owner of Gore).

Surname structure

  • The surname consists primarily of a root stem (having or having had some lexical meaning in the past), but may also include prefixes, suffixes and endings.
  • The basis of the surname often comes from a personal name or a nickname that carries one or another lexical meaning.
  • prefix and ending

Family attachment. family ending


Male and female surnames

  • From male Russian surnames to -ov , -ev , -in, declining according to the paradigm of short possessive adjectives, forms of female surnames with inflection are formed -a, declining according to the paradigm of short feminine possessive adjectives (for example, "by Elena Sergeevna Bulgakova").

Male and female surnames

  • From surnames to -th , th , -oh, declining according to the paradigm of full adjectives, forms of female surnames with inflection are formed -and I, declining according to the paradigm of full feminine adjectives (for example, "at Sofia Vasilievna Kovalevskaya").

Male and female surnames

  • For the rest (except for Slavic surnames on -and I, declining according to the paradigm of nouns of the 1st declension) of surnames, the feminine form coincides with the masculine, and does not decline, even if it declines in the masculine gender (for example, "with Anna Pavlovna Sherer").

Ivanov's son Ivanov. This also includes surnames formed from nicknames associated with the profession: Goncharov, Melnikov, Krasilnikov. "width="640"

Meaning and etymology

  • Russian surnames are mainly formed as patronymics from church or non-church personal names or nicknames, for example, Ivan Ivanov son of Ivanov . This also includes surnames formed from nicknames associated with the profession: Goncharov, Melnikov, Krasilnikov.

Meaning and etymology

  • Much less often - from the names of the area, for example Belozersky from Beloozero. This method of education is especially characteristic of princely families, however (unlike Western Europe) it is not typical of noble families.

Meaning and etymology

  • Here it should be noted that in the old Russian naming system it was also customary to call babies security names , amulets- names with negative content - for protection, scaring away evil forces or for the reverse action of the name. This is how it is still customary to scold those who pass the exam, or wish the hunter "no fluff, no feather." It was believed that Dur grow up smart Nekras handsome and Hunger will always be full. Guard names then they became accustomed to nicknames, and then a surname.

The origin of Russian surnames

  • In different social strata, surnames appeared at different times. Citizens of Veliky Novgorod and its vast possessions in the north, stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Ural Mountains, were the first to acquire surnames in the Russian lands.

The origin of Russian surnames

  • Somewhat later, in XIV - XV centuries, family names appeared among princes and boyars. The princes were nicknamed by the name of their inheritance, and the moment when the surname appeared should be considered the moment when the prince, having lost his inheritance, nevertheless retained his name as a nickname for himself and his descendants: Shuisky , Obolensky , Vyazemsky etc. A smaller part of princely surnames comes from nicknames: Gagarins, Humpbacked, Eyed, Lykovs, Scriabins etc. Surnames like Lobanov-Rostovsky connect the name of the reign with the nickname. Boyar and noble families were also formed from nicknames or from the names of the ancestors.

The origin of Russian surnames

In the end 15th century among the Russian nobles, the first surnames of foreign origin appear, primarily the surnames of Polish-Lithuanian and Greek (for example, philosophical) immigrants; in XVII century surnames of Western origin are added to them, such as Fonvizins , Lermontovs . The surnames of the descendants of Tatar immigrants reminded of the names of these immigrants: Yusupov , Akhmatov , Kara-Murza Karamzin (also from Kara-Murza). However, it should be noted that the eastern origin of the surname does not always indicate the eastern origin of its bearers: in some cases, they come from Tatar nicknames that were in vogue in Muscovite Russia.


The origin of Russian surnames

The peasants in this period usually did not have surnames, the function of such was performed by nicknames and patronymics, as well as the mention of their owner. : "Ivan Mikitin is a son, and the nickname is Menshik", record 1568 : "Onton Mikiforov's son, and the nickname is Zhdan" The peasants of northern Russia, the former Novgorod possessions, could have real surnames even in this era, since serfdom did not apply to these areas. Probably the most famous example of this kind is Mikhailo Lomonosov. You can also remember Arina Rodionovna Yakovleva- a Novgorod peasant woman, Pushkin's nanny.


The origin of Russian surnames

Finally, the surnames of the entire population of the USSR appeared only in the 30s. XX century in the era of universal passportization .


Surname and nationality

The linguistic affiliation of names and surnames is determined not so much by the basis of which language they consist of, but by the language in which they are used. It turns out that the most traditional Russian name Ivan of Hebrew origin, and surnames formed from numerous folk forms of this name like Ivakin, Ivanaev, Ivanyaev, Vankaev, Vankin, Vanshin, Ivashkin may belong not only to Russians, but also to the Chuvash, Mordvins, Maris and other peoples inhabiting the Russian Federation. They are used both in Russian and in the languages ​​of other peoples. Thus, the nationality of a person and the linguistic affiliation of his surname often do not match.


Surname and nationality

  • The main thing for the assimilation of foreigners was the act of baptism. They mastered the Russian language, their children were brought up in Russian culture, and only the surname reminded of the origin of their fathers.
  • Many figures of Russian culture were born from mixed marriages. Vasily Andreevich Zhukovsky was the son of a Russian nobleman and a captured Turkish woman, and received his last name from his godfather. The mother of Alexander Ivanovich Herzen was a German woman who was not legally married to his father, and he came up with a surname from the German word "herzen" - "cordial" as a symbol of the cordial affection of his parents.

Surname and nationality

  • Denis Ivanovich Fonvizin is a descendant of a knight of the Order of the Sword, captured under Ivan the Terrible. The father of Mikhail Yuryevich Lermontov came from the Scottish family Leirmont. One of the representatives of this family, Georg Lermont, moved to the Russian service in 1613. "The Sun of Russian Poetry", Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, was a descendant of Ibragim Petrovich Hannibal, Peter the Great's black man.

Surname and nationality

  • As a result of the interaction of the languages ​​of different peoples, some surnames of Russian citizens cannot be unambiguously interpreted as coming from some word. The many languages ​​involved in their formation, rather short stems, an abundance of homonyms and folk etymology contributed to the fact that sometimes surnames have up to five possible interpretations.

Surname and nationality

Babin, Babich, Babichev- these surnames can come from the Russian word woman- "woman, wife", and from the Turkic woman'- "father, grandfather."

  • Goryunov- from Goryun(a grieving person), but there is also an archaic ethnic group of Goryuny in Polissya.
  • Examples can be continued. But even this is enough to show the complexity of the definition of the concept "Russian surname" .

Analysis of the names of students in grade 8a MOU Kipenskaya sosh

The basis of the surname was the church canonical name

The basis of the surname was a nickname related to the number of professional names

Andreeva, Emelyanova, Ivanova, Ilyina, Ishutin, Matyushkin, Mikhailova, Osipov, Filimonov, Yakimova, Yakovlev

The surname was based on a street nickname

Blagochinov, Tokareva (1), Trubacheva

The basis of the surname was the name of the place of residence

Bormatova, Gorbunova, Dolganov (1), Zelenaya, Komarov, Kosheleva, Lugachev

The basis of the surname was the secular name

Zazersky, Dolganov (2)

Tokareva (2)


Andreeva Victoria

The basis of the surname Andreev was the church name Andrey. The surname Andreev goes back to the canonical male name Andrey, which means "courageous" in ancient Greek. This is the name of one of the apostles of Jesus Christ - Andrew the First-Called.


Blagochinov Kirill

Most likely, the nickname Reverend refers to the number of "professional" names and indicates the occupation of a person. In the Orthodox Church, a dean is a special position designed to oversee order in a particular church district within a diocese. However, it is possible that the nickname Reverend indicated the character of the person. So, a devout, pious parishioner could be called Reverend. Blagochinnov, eventually received the surname Blagochinnov.


Bormatova Julia

The surname Bormotov is formed from the nickname Bormot, which goes back to the verb "mutter". Its meaning is defined by V. I. Dal in the “Explanatory Dictionary of the Living Great Russian Language” as “to speak indistinctly, quickly and under one’s breath; grumble, grumble." According to this, the founder of the Bormotov family could have had poor diction. It is less likely that the nickname Bormot is derived from the name of one of the varieties of crested furry-footed pigeons - a mumble dove or a mumbler. In this case, a person with an unusual appearance could get such a nickname.


Gorbunova elizaveta

The nickname underlying the surname goes back to the common noun "hump", "humpback" - "stooped, crooked, curved." The nickname Hunchback can be connected with the word "humpback" in another meaning: in Siberian dialects, this was the name of a runaway tramp. Such nicknames were ubiquitous in Russia in all segments of the population. The hunchback, eventually received the name Gorbunov.


Dolganov Igor

The surname Dolganov comes from the nickname Dolgan: this is how he called tall, tall people. However, this word has another meaning. Dolgans are a people living in the Taimyr Autonomous Okrug. In this case, a representative of this nationality or one who lived among the Dolgans for some time could get the nickname Dolgan.


Emelyanova Anna

The basis of the surname Emelyanov was the church name Emelyan. The surname Emelyanov comes from the church male name Emelyan. This name is of Greek origin and translates as "flattering". Emelyan, eventually received the surname Emelyanov.


Zazersky Danil

The surname Zazersky is formed from the place of residence - behind the lake. During numerous censuses of surnames, the vowel o in the stem was lost.


green yana

The surname Green is derived from the nickname Green. It originates from a similar adjective. It is possible that a special meaning was attached to this nickname, associated with the symbolism of the green color, which in the ideas of many nations personified spring, ripening, fertility, resurrection, life. In addition, green denoted continuity. The expression "evergreen" already in the old days meant immortality, as a derivative of a mixture of yellow (earth) and blue (sky). However, green is the color of immaturity. Therefore, the nickname Green could get a young, inexperienced person.


Ivanova Irina

The surname Ivanov belongs to a common type of Russian surnames and is formed from a baptismal name. The surname Ivanov goes back to the Russian version of the canonical male name John (from Hebrew - "God's mercy"). It is known that in ancient Judea it was pronounced as Jochanaan. The Russian name probably comes from Van, the progenitor of the Slavs, since in ancient times all Slavs were called "vans". Christianity added only one letter "i" to the name.


Ilyina Ksenia

The basis of the surname of Ilyin was the church name Ilya. The surname Ilyin comes from the male baptismal name Ilya, which is a modified form of the biblical name Eliyahu. The latter is translated from Hebrew as "my God is the Lord", that is, "My God is the true God." The patron of this name is Elijah the Prophet - a legendary figure in the Jewish and Christian tradition, a miracle worker and soothsayer, a formidable denouncer of idolatry.


Ishutin Ivan

The surname Ishutin is formed from the name Ishut, a diminutive form of the male personal name Ivan. It historically goes back to the canonical male personal name John, which in Hebrew means "God's mercy."


Komarov Artyom

Surnames derived from the names of insects are few in comparison with "bird" and "animal" surnames. Nevertheless, the surname Komarov entered the top 100 most used Russian surnames. It goes back to the nickname Mosquito. So they could call a person short, with a thin voice or somewhat importunate.


Kosheleva Karina

The surname Koshelev, according to one of the hypotheses, goes back to the noun "purse" in the meaning of "a bag for storing money." In this case, a rich but stingy person could get the nickname Koshel. However, most likely, the surname originates from the nickname Koshel, which was given to a clumsy, awkward person. Koshel, eventually received the name Koshelev.


Lugachev Vitaly

The nickname Lugach, most likely, goes back to the common noun "meadow" - "small grass plain". Therefore, both the owner of the meadow and the person who lived in the meadow or in the settlement with the name derived from the word "meadow" could be called that way. Lugach, eventually received the surname Lugachev.


Matyushkin Denis

The basis of the surname Matyushkin was the church name Matvey. The surname Matyushkin goes back to the male name Matyushka, a colloquial diminutive form of the baptismal name Matvey. It means "Man of God" in Hebrew.


Mikhailova xenia

The basis of the surname Mikhailov was the church name Mikhail. The male baptismal name Michael, translated from Hebrew, means "equal, like God." The basis of the surname Mikhailov was his old everyday form - Mikhailo.


Osipov Denis

The surname Osipov is most likely formed from the name Osip, the folk form of the baptismal male name Joseph. It, in turn, is of Hebrew origin and in translation means "God will multiply" or "God will add."


Tokareva Anastasia

The surname Tokarev probably comes from the nickname Tokar, which goes back to a similar common noun. Obviously, such a nickname refers to the so-called "professional" names, indicating the type of human activity: most likely, the founder of the Tokarev family was a master engaged in turning. According to another hypothesis, the surname Tokarev is based not on a nickname, but on the worldly name Tokar, which goes back to the common noun "turner" - the popular name for the black grouse bird.


Trubacheva Tatyana Mikhailovna (class teacher).

The surname Trubachev is derived from the nickname Trumpeter. Most likely, it refers to the so-called "professional" names containing an indication of the occupation of a person. Usually, in the past, a trumpet player was called a trumpeter, then a chimney sweep, and in the 19th century, a fireman blowing a trumpet when the team left. It is also possible that such a nickname was worn by a seller of musical instruments or a master in their manufacture. The trumpeter eventually received the surname Trubachev.


Filimonov Konstantin

The basis of the surname Filimonov was the church name Filimon. The surname Filimonov goes back to the church male name Filimon. This name came to Russian from ancient Greek and is derived from the verb “phileo”, which means “to love”. Filimon eventually received the surname Filimonov.


Yakimova Anastasia

The basis of the surname Yakimov was the church name Joachim. The name Yakim is an everyday variant of the male name Joachim, which in Hebrew means “set by God.” Initially, the name Joachim in Russian began to sound like Akim, and in some localities, under the influence of “cheating” or “yaking” dialects, like Yekim or Yakim. One should also not exclude the possibility of the formation of the surname Yakimov from the nickname Yakim: sometimes this name was used as a common noun in the meaning of "simpleton".


Yakovlev Alexey

The surname Yakovlev comes from the baptismal male name Jacob, which is the secular analogue of the church name Jacob. This name is translated from Hebrew as "second born." Most likely, the founder of the Yakovlev family received this name from his parents in honor of the patron saint James Zebedee, the apostle of Jesus Christ.


Conclusion

The research work convinced us that surnames can be an interesting source for historical, sociological, linguistic research, as they reflect time and a person - his social status and spiritual world.


Personal attitude to the work done

With our work, we would like to encourage people to study the origins of their surname. After all, this is a very informative, exciting and interesting activity. Ancient Russian surnames, including the surnames of our classmates, provide the richest material for the study of the historical past of both our country and each of us. History is written in the language of the people. And what, no matter how proper names (surnames, names), can give us answers to many questions!


Hypothesis proven

We learned about the origins of our surnames, this allowed us to expand our understanding of family roots, of our distant ancestors.

  1. INTRODUCTION

It is useful for each person to know his history, the history of the origin of his family name, at least in order to better know himself.

Not many people think about the origin of their surname. At the lesson of the world around us, we studied the topic “Family. Relatives ”and talked about how surnames, first names, patronymics arose. I was wondering, how did my last name come about? In search of an answer to the question, I became interested in education and deciphering surnames.

The aim of my work wasdetermination of the ways of formation of my surname and surnames of classmates with their subsequent decoding and classification.

During the research, I solved the following tasks:

  • definitions of the concepts of surname, hereditary name;
  • study of the history of the emergence of surnames;
  • work with literary and Internet sources;
  • compiling a dictionary of surnames of classmates
  1. MAIN PART

2.1 The history of the emergence of Russian surnames

There was a time in the history of mankind when people did not have surnames, this refers to the period up to the second half of the 2nd millennium. But to distinguish people personal names were invented. However, it soon turned out that a personal name alone was not enough, because, despite the fact that names were constantly invented and changed, there were still many repeating ones. And then they came up with nicknames. Over time, the composition and number of inhabitants increased, and then additional ways of naming people were already needed. People began to think more about the family continuity of generations, about the fact that each family needs some special detail that will be familiar to the whole family and will be inherited by descendants. So the first hereditary generic names were formed, such is the history of the origin of the surname.

It is noteworthy that surname in Latin means family. But before, the family meant something different from our modern ideas. The family was a collection of people, along with slaves and their owners. And only after a certain period of time, the family became a cell of society with its own distinctive feature - a surname.

The process of the origin of the surname in world history began to gain strength approximately from the second half of the millennium, and towards the end of the 19th century, almost all nations and peoples already possessed them. Comparing the speed with which this process went in different parts of the globe, we note that generic names arose at about the same time among different peoples, and the same methods of their formation were used. First of all, the owners of surnames became the nobles, who had more privileges compared to other social strata. This was typical for Russia, and for Europe, and for Asia. Gradually, over several centuries, the process of the origin of surnames and their distribution among other social groups went on, until the entire population began to possess them.

Almost all surnames were not chosen by the native speaker, but given from outside. I concluded, looking at the people around me, that no one can be responsible for the surname once received by his ancestor. At present, there is no connection between a person and his name: Chernyshov can be blond, Vogue is a very good person, Zlobin is kind, and Nekrasov is handsome. There was often no direct connection in the past either: for example, the names or nicknames Tsar - Tsarev, Knyaz - Knyazev, were usually given to peasants - apparently, in the hope of future power, wealth, power. A child could be called a fool, Nekras, Scoundrel, Malice in order to protect him from the evil eye, to deceive evil forces that would harm a good baby, but not touch a “bad” one. Many of the names that underlie modern surnames and that seem offensive to us now were not considered as such, but simply, having become a name, became an ordinary verbal sign.

Even those names that usually seem clear to us are fraught with riddles and surprises, so that questions and doubts will lie in wait for us everywhere. There are interesting cases when the word seems to be known to everyone, but is used in a completely different sense. So, Dvornikov's ancestor was a janitor, but he did not clean the streets and yards, but was an employer or keeper of the yard.

2.2 Ways of forming surnames

The historical process of the origin of the surname has several main ways of their formation, moreover, the same for different peoples and nations:

1) from personal names (church and non-church);

In many modern surnames, the forms of old names that once existed in Russia are traced: Nechai - Nechaev, Tretyak -

Tretyakov, Krivets - Krivtsov, Moroz - Morozov. Frost - a non-Christian male name was given, as a rule, to a person born in cold, frosty weather. This name was not uncommon until the 17th century. These names reflected the various properties of people, their behavior, character, speech characteristics, physical defects or virtues, time and order of the child's appearance in the family.

A large mass of surnames was formed from Christian names: Gordeev - the canonical name of Gordius, king; Fedoseev - Fedosy, given by God; Klimenko - Clement, silent, condescending.

Modern Russian surnames have preserved many unofficial personal names of the past, among which there are long-forgotten or very rarely found in dialects. For example, the surnames Mamin, Mamkin are most often formed not from the word mother, but from the calendar names Mammy or Mamant; the modern surname Mamontov also goes back to the name Mamant, and not to the name of an extinct animal. Martyshkin does not come from a monkey, but from a derivative form of the names Martyn, Mart.

2) by occupation (profession, craft);

Surnames can remind of long-forgotten professions: Berdnikov (Berdnik is a master making reeds - weaving combs),

Tolmachev (interpreter - translator). At the same time, professions served as the basis for the formation of a large number of surnames; Sapozhnikov, Kuznetsov, Kirpichnikov, Tabakov, Telyatnikov, Vorotnikov (head over the gate), etc.

3) from the name of the place of residence;

Many surnames have geographical roots. Most often - this is an indication of the place where the founder of the surname comes from. The ancestors of the Mezentsevs came from the banks of the Mezen River, the Turintsevs from the Tura River. The Vyazemskys owned lands along the Vyazma River. The peasants were recorded by the name of the landowner - Vyazemsky (Whose?).

There are names that reflect historical events. The Moscow prince, conquering the northern territories belonging to Novgorod, burned the town of Kokshenga, and destroyed most of the population. The descendants of the surviving and scattered residents received the surname Koksharovs.

4) from the name of animals and plants;

The names of animals, birds, fish are one of the main sources of nicknames and surnames derived from them, as this is dictated by the cult of birds and animals among the ancient Slavs.

Seleznev (male duck), Voronina, Gusev, Gusakov (gander-male goose), Korostelkina (corncrake - a fast-running bird living in the grass). Surnames formed from mammals, insects, fish are also numerous: Bobrov, Bychkov, Volkov, Ershov, Kozlov, Kobelev, Lisin

5) by nickname.

Gorlov (a nickname characterizes a person's behavior. This was the name of a person who screamed loudly, achieved his goal by shouting). Gudkov (from the words gud, beep; the nickname of every screamer). Golubtsov (Golubets is a forgotten pet word of the same meaning as the modern “darling”. Actually, darling is a diminutive not from “dove”, but from “stuffed cabbage”.

Surnames associated with a person’s appearance: Gubin, Glazin, Glazunov (from the word glazun, “big-eyed, who has bulging eyes”, and also one who loves to stare: rotozey, onlookers). Belyaev (“Not everyone who bore the name Belyai was white, but Chernyai or Chernyshi were black,” notes the linguist A. M. Selishchev). Belyakov (a nickname for blond, white-faced, white-haired people. But neat people were also called white people. and with serf reform: a whitewashed person, that is, a person freed from taxes). Ryzhakov, Chernov (one of the very common surnames that belonged to the first hundred Russian surnames. The surname is associated with swarthy skin color, black hair, dark clothes.

In the Russian tradition, women usually take their husband's surname upon marriage. However, this is optional; a woman can keep her maiden name. Sometimes, in rare cases, the husband may take the wife's surname. Children usually take the father's surname, but at the request of the parents or if the woman is not married, they can take the mother's surname.

3. PRACTICAL PART

Dictionary of surnames of classmates

As examples, I will give the names of my classmates.

  • Firstly, personal names are the most popular source of the origin of the surname. For example:

Pavlov - on behalf of Pavel, from Latin meaning "small";

Borisov - on behalf of Boris, translated from Bulgarian means a wrestler;

Sashchenko - is of Ukrainian origin, the surname is based on a diminutive form of the name Sasha;

Trukhmanova - from the male name Trukhan - this is one of the variants of the name Trifon;

Semenishchev - on behalf of Semyon, translated from Greek "hearing God."

Trofimov - on behalf of Trofim, translated from Greek "pet".

The surname Erokhin came from the church name Hierofei, translated from the ancient Greek “sacred”, and the surname Frolkin also came from the form Frol from the church male name Flor, translated from Latin “blooming”.

Daniltseva - from the Orthodox name Danila, which was quite widespread. This surname is of Russian origin.

  • In addition to personal names, professions, crafts, and various human occupations served as sources of origin for surnames. For example:

Bakharev - from the word bahar, bahir - talker, storyteller, storyteller;

Zemskov - from a village clerk - an assistant to the headman under serfdom, who was sometimes called a zemstvo;

Sklyar in Belarusian and Ukrainian means glazier;

Skorobogatova is a derivative of the word soon rich - quickly enriched.

Daniltseva - most often such surnames are formed from the profession of a distant ancestor.

  • Another fairly common way of the origin of the surname was its origin from the name of the place of residence of its bearer. In this case, the origin of the surname can be associated with both a geographical object and the names of these objects and the names of settlements. For example:

The surname Borisov may also come from the name of a resident of the city of Borisov.

Kiseleva - from the geographical name, the village of Kiselvo;

Zelenskaya - this surname is of Polish origin. All representatives of such surnames belonged to the Polish gentry. In 10%, the bearer of such a surname may be a descendant of an ancient Russian princely or boyar family. Zelensky - from the villages named Green.

  • The next source of origin of surnames were the names of animals and plants. For example:

Sizov - from derivatives Sizyak-wild pigeon and Sizyov-"woodpecker".

  • Nicknames became another source of the origin of surnames in Russia. Surnames-nicknames existed in Novgorod possessions from the 13th-14th centuries, but for a long time they were not commonly used. Here are examples of surnames derived from nicknames:

Lapshin - formed from the nickname Noodles, which goes back to the common noodles - a flour product;

The surname Sizov has another origin. In Pskov and Tver dialects, "gray" meant "pale, thin." The surname Kiselev can also come from a nickname or a non-church name Kisel. Such names were given, according to the names of dishes that were popular in Russia.

Guskova - the surname is formed from the nickname Gus, Gusak.

Dudina - this surname is of Turkic origin and came to us from the Arabic language. It is derived from the word "din", which means "religion, faith." People in the Upper Volga region were sometimes called grandfather.

4. CONCLUSION

I learned a lot of interesting and useful things by starting to study my own surname. Then he deciphered all the surnames of the students of our class and concluded that the word surname means: family, family, family name, that any current surname does not depend on its original meaning, it should not be ashamed, but on the contrary, it should be carefully carried through life and passed on to descendants. You have to love your last name.

The study of surnames is valuable for science. It allows you to more fully present the historical events of recent centuries, as well as the history of science, literature and art. The history of the surname is a kind of living history. In the past, bloodlines were the property of only a handful of aristocrats. And the whole mass of the common people "was not supposed to have ancestors." But now millions of people have the right to be proud of their ancestors, their work.

As a result of the study, my classmates and I learned about our surnames, the ancestors who gave them their surnames, the places where they lived, what they did, in which families they grew up.

Once, with the teachers and the guys in the group, we played the didactic game "Rivers of Mordovia", when the guys heard the name of the Sura River, everyone immediately said that this name is very similar to mine surname. And I thought about this question. “Why do all the guys in my group have different surnames And why do people need them at all? Why is my surname Suraev, and Sasha from my group - Volkov?

Estimated result: Exploring history

occurrence surnames Suraev opens the forgotten pages of the life and culture of our ancestors and can tell a lot of interesting things about the distant past. There are many versions of the origin surnames Suraev.

According to one of them, surname Suraev is one of the oldest Russian surnames, appeared back in the time of Ivan the Terrible, and only those close to the tsar could wear it.

The next group of scientists believe that surname Suraev, "Not quite Russian" by content. It is based, again, on the Turkic name Suraya, translated from Arabic signifier"wealthy Assyrian".

Another version says that my surname has Turkic roots and came from the name Surai, which means"son, assistant hero", since the Russian and Mordovian people throughout their history lived in close contact with a variety of Turkic tribes - Tatars, Bashkirs, Kazakhs and other peoples of the Golden Horde, the Kazan, Astrakhan and Crimean Khanates.

There are a lot of people in Mordovia with surname Suraev, most of all in the Bolypeignatovsky district, where my grandfather, Anatoly Vladimirovich Suraev, comes from, where the Erzya live, a little less than the Suraevs in the Insara district, where the moksha lives "

Thus, we came to the conclusion that surname Suraev is common both among the Erzi and among the Mokshans.

Other researchers believe that it is formed from the name of the Sura River, the third largest after the Kama and Oka, a tributary of the Volga flowing in Mordovia, in the Ulyanovsk, Nizhny Novgorod and Penza regions. This is a version about the toponymic origin surnames Suraev. This name is also given to an ancient village in the Pinezhsky district of the Arkhangelsk region, the first mention of which was recorded in the Novgorod chronicles under 1137. "Geographic" the names that appeared in those cases when a person for various reasons left his native places and moved to new lands were not uncommon in Russia.

My dad, grandfather and brother and I love to fish on Sura, we even caught pike there. "Maybe that's why my surname Suraev- I decided. Probably, my distant ancestors lived along the banks of the Sura and were engaged in fishing.

There is a version that surname Suraev descended from one of the Mordovian words: Suravka - russula; Sura (suro)- millet, millet.

Grandmother and mother often bake millet pancakes for us - suron pachat, we love to eat them very much. Grandmother says that the recipe for these Mordovian pancakes came to us from the distant ancestors of the Suraevs.

“Maybe that’s why we are Suraevs because we love millet pancakes? And the words sound it seems: Suron- Suraev! ”I thought. Maybe my distant ancestors Suraevs were engaged in the cultivation of millet, and then the manufacture of millet. This theory seemed to me the most interesting.
