Flower surnames list. The most beautiful surnames for girls, Russian and foreign variants of surnames


According to the law of the Russian Federation, choosing a first and last name is a personal right. This means that every citizen of the country can at any time change his name as he pleases, having gone through the established procedure for this. Tempting? Very, because there are so many beautiful, interesting, noble and majestic-sounding Russian surnames. Lists of the most common and pleasant to hear, as well as the rarest and funniest of them, are given below.

There are a lot of beautiful Russian surnames - Voznesensky, Ushansky, Mironov, Bogolyubov, Rasskazov, Magnificent, Zlatovlasov, Mudry, Admiralsky, Aristokratov, Vasilevsky. It is impossible to list all the options. Many of them have completely unexpected origins. There is even a separate science - anthroponymy, which studies how this or that particular surname was formed. For example, the surname Krivoshchekin appeared thanks to a real person who lived in the 15th century named Guba, who was born to Mikifor and had the nickname Crooked Cheeks. This fact is reflected in ancient documents (acts) - the record is dated 1495. If he lived today, his name would be Krivoshchekin Guba Mikiforovich. Interesting, isn't it? Even in the same year, there were records about the peasants Danilo Sople (in the modern sound Soplin Daniil) and Efimko Vorobyo (Vorobiev Efim). In 1568, in the same acts there is a note about Mikitin’s son Ivan, nicknamed Menschik (Ivan Mikitovich Menshchikov), and in 1590 - about Mikifor’s son named Onton, nicknamed Zhdan (Zhdanov Anton Mikiforovich).

This is how the names appeared:

  1. Mostly from nicknames common among the people, which were given to people by their relatives and neighbors. People were nicknamed by their personal differences - Chernovolosov (black hair), Ostronosov (sharp nose), Vereshchagin (often squealed), Toropygin (constantly in a hurry), Rumyantsev (had rosy cheeks), Udaltsov, Razumnik, Ostroumov.
  2. Nicknames often became the names of animals, fish and birds, later transformed into surnames - Medvedev, Kotov, Sobolev, Solovyov (perhaps the man sang well), Lisitsin, Volkov, Zaitsev, Voronin, Tsaplin (optionally, had long legs), Dyatlov, Sinitsyn, Karpov.
  3. For certain classes, it was typical to supplement the name with an occupation, which also left its mark on the family history - Goncharov (Gonchar), Tokarev (Turner), Stolyarov (carpenter), Pastukhov (shepherd), Kozhemyakin, Kuznetsov, Rybakov, Myasnikov (judge according to the number of nicknames reflected in the found act of 1335, in the 14th century this skill was especially valued in people).
  4. If a person did not have any specific nickname, then the surname was the father’s name, which indicated that the person belonged to a specific clan. This is how the Maksimovs, Ivanovs, Vasyutins, Mishins, Stepanovs, Fedorovs, Sergeevs and so on appeared. By the way, if in one village there were several Ivanovs, Vasilievs, Fedorovs and so on, then the surnames were modified - Ivanov, Ivanko, Ivanchenko, Vasilenko, Vasileev, Vaskin, Fedorov, Fedorkin, Fedorchuk.
  5. The surnames of the princely family were most often given by the name of the area where the noble family lived or, based on the possessions of the latter. Almost always they had the endings -sky or -tsky - Ozersky (had a lake in his possession), Gorsky (mountain), Shuisky (the Shuisky family lived near the river and the city of Shuya), Vyazemsky (near the Vyazma River). The following surnames were formed in the same way: Tulsky, Tverskoy, Eletsky, Amursky, Belozersky.
  6. A huge number of surnames owe their sonority to Orthodoxy - Blagoveshchensky, Voznesensky, Byzantine, Pokrovsky, Troitsky, Spassky, Preobrazhensky and others.

The age of the absolute majority of surnames is just over a century, with the exception of noble, princely and other families with aristocratic roots (they received surnames much earlier). In 1888, by decree of a special Senate, it was stipulated that having a surname is not only the right, but also the obligation of every person, since a family nickname helps to avoid confusion. The very first census of the country's population (1897) played a huge role in the formation of current surnames. Census takers didn't bother much with personal nicknames and sometimes simply recorded everyone by the name of the father of the family. That is why in Russia there are so many surnames formed from all kinds of names - Alexandrovs, Nikitins, Alekseevs, Petrovs, Andreevs, Vladimirovs. All peasants on one farm received the surname of their landowner, so there are entire villages or villages of namesakes - Lvovkins, Gagarins, Vorontsovs.

In general, not a single dissertation has been written on the topic of the origin of names and family nicknames. Think about it, what does your last name mean?

And the places in it were distributed like this:

  1. Ivanov - undoubtedly on behalf of Ivan’s father, and there have always been plenty of Ivanovs and Ioanovs in Russia.

According to another version, the origin is connected with the name Falcon and with the cult of birds and animals that existed among the ancient Russians.
  8. Mikhailov - on behalf of.

The history of American names and surnames has evolved over several centuries. In them you can trace the traditions of many countries and peoples who moved to these places. Thanks to the large flow of immigrants, over a long period of time the general culture of the country took shape and names and surnames changed, acquiring new forms of sound.

Many common American names have their origins in Greek, Italian, Latin, even ancient Germanic origins. In the modern world, rare names that are obtained by abbreviating historical places, surnames of famous people, are becoming extremely popular in America; there are even combinations of several names into one big one.

The origins of American names can be divided into the following groups:

  1. Names whose meanings are associated with the outlines of a person’s character (cheerful, brave, courageous) have gained most popularity;
  2. names related to the names of animals, flowers, trees, natural phenomena;
  3. names meaning different professions;
  4. names of a religious nature taken from the Bible.

List of the most popular American male names

America is a colonial country; depending on the state, the overall popularity of names differs significantly from each other. In the Spanish villages of Federico (Federico), in the Irish regions - Patrick (Patrick), in the Italian - Paulo (Paulo).

When choosing a name for a newborn, Americans give great importance to two main principles in their choice:

  • the name should sound beautifully with the surname, as one whole;
  • Another main point is the secret meaning of the name and its origin.

Respecting their ancestors and family traditions, many families name their children in honor of their fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers. If several family members have one name, the prefix “senior” or “junior” is placed at the beginning of the name for a specific person.

Currently, Americans are trying to add special uniqueness (originality) to the names of their children, choosing their favorite car brand, favorite political figure, or favorite city for the name. In such a situation, the choice falls on the most unexpected objects. You can meet children named Lexus, Madison, Infinity.

Americans have an old naming tradition of giving a child a double name. For example: Anna-Maria (Anna-Maria), John-Robert (John-Robert), Matthew - William (Matthew-William). Explaining this by saying that as the child grows up, he will be able to choose a name to his liking.

List of common American surnames

They acquired their modern appearance over many years. Over time, they changed significantly. There has always been a large influx of refugees and migrants into American cities.

In order not to differ from the local residents, and not to attract special attention, the settlers deliberately modified and shortened their surnames in the local American way. The main feature of the surnames of US residents is the regular mixing of different nations and peoples.

The list of the most famous surnames in America opens with Smith (Smith), Williams (Williams), Jones (Jones), Wilson (Wilson). According to statistics, there are well over a million registered owners of such surnames.

The famous Russian linguist A.F. Zhuravlev, Doctor of Philology, Head of the Department of Etymology and Onomastics at the Institute of Russian Language, also made his contribution to the study of statistics of Russian surnames. V. V. Vinogradov RAS (Moscow).



A.F. Zhuravlev used telephone directories of several cities in Russia and other former Soviet territories, library catalogues, personal lists of institutions, lists of applicants for some Moscow universities, diverse arrays of onomastic (family) material on the Internet, etc. the territory is not clearly delineated by him, the list of cities whose telephone directories were used is not given in full (among those named by A.F. Zhuravlev are Moscow, Ryazan, Vladimir, Krasnoyarsk, in Ukraine - Greater Yalta). The principles for selecting cities are not sufficiently substantiated. The very nature of obtaining material is debatable. A.F. Zhuravlev himself admits that he cannot “estimate with any accuracy the total volume of onomastic units that came into view, and, consequently, the share in it of those surnames that were included in the final list.


From the flow of surnames flowing into our hands, only those were selected that were included in the preliminary 800-unit list (further shortened to 500 surnames with the most reliable statistics).” The list itself of 800 units (i.e., surnames) was compiled intuitively. All this reduces the significance of the results obtained, but nevertheless the list of the 500 most common Russian surnames is interesting. The number of all carriers of the first 500 most common Russian surnames, recorded according to various sources, is several hundred thousand. Obviously, this list will still be refined, since according to A.F. Zhuravlev himself, the statistics given “can be considered to be only of a very preliminary nature, but in any case better than Unbegaun’s table” (meaning the appendix to the book “Russian surnames” with a list of the most common surnames in St. Petersburg in 1910).


I decided to list these 500 names so that site visitors can familiarize themselves with them. Two columns with data for comparison of statistics of the same surnames in St. Petersburg in 1910 were excluded from the material of A.F. Zhuravlev (they were taken from the work of B.O. Unbegaun). In the final table, to the right of the surname there is a number showing the relative occurrence of the surname. It was obtained by relating the total absolute frequency of a given surname to the total absolute frequency of the most common Russian surname Ivanov.


So, the list compiled by A.F. Zhuravlev. During preparation for posting on the site, it was discovered that there were three more surnames (they are given without a serial number). To find the desired surname, use the search function of your browser.

How many people, so many opinions. For this reason, it is impossible to say exactly which foreign surnames are ugly and which are beautiful. All of them contain certain information; when translated into our language, they can mean some kind of craft, the name of plants, animals or birds, or belong to a geographical area. Each country has its own euphonious surnames, so you need to choose the best ones for each region separately.

What surnames can be called beautiful?

Most people are proud of the name of their clan, although there are those who would not mind changing it to a more euphonious one. Each country has its own surnames, but their origins are almost the same. The family received its personal name from the name of its founder, his nickname, occupation, availability of land, and belonging to some status. Animals and plants are also often found. However, we choose the most beautiful foreign surnames based on their euphony, and not on the meaning of the content, which is not always known to us. In some cases, one begins to like a genus name if its bearer is an idol of millions, a historical figure who has done something good and useful for humanity.

Aristocratic surnames

Noble surnames always sounded solemn, proud and pompous. Rich people were proud of their origins and noble blood. Beautiful foreign surnames are mainly found among the descendants of noble families; people who left a significant mark on history should also be included here: writers, artists, designers, composers, scientists, etc. The names of their genera are euphonious, they are often well-known, so people are imbued with sympathy for them.

In England, the beautiful names include the names of counts and wealthy nobles: Bedford, Lincoln, Buckingham, Cornwall, Oxford, Wiltshire, Clifford, Mortimer. In Germany: Munchausen, Fritsch, Salm, Moltke, Rosen, Siemens, Isenburg, Stauffenberg. In Sweden: Fleming, Jüllenborg, Kreutz, Horn, Delagardie. In Italy: Barberini, Visconti, Borgia, Pepoli, Spoleto, Medici.

Surnames derived from the names of birds, animals, plants

From the world of flora and fauna came many euphonious surnames that evoke affection. Their owners were mainly people who liked certain animals, birds, plants, or were similar to them in appearance or character. There are a huge number of such examples in Rus': Zaitsev, Orlov, Vinogradov, Lebedev, and they exist in other countries. For example, in England: Bush (bush), Bull (bull), Swan (swan).

Beautiful foreign surnames are often formed from the name of the ancestor: Cecil, Anthony, Henry, Thomas, etc. A lot of names are associated with a specific area with which the founders were associated: Ingleman, Germain, Pickard, Portwine, Kent, Cornwall, Westley. Of course, a huge group of family names are those associated with professions and titles. Some surnames arose spontaneously. If they evoke positive associations in people, then they can be classified as beautiful, euphonious and successful, because they are greeted by their clothes, so a good generic name helps many people to win over people when meeting them.

Spanish euphonious surnames

Spaniards usually have double family names, they are connected by the particles “y”, “de”, a hyphen or written with a space. The father's surname is written first, and the mother's surname second. It should be noted that the particle “de” indicates the aristocratic origin of the founder. Spanish law provides for a maximum of two given names and a maximum of two surnames. When women get married, they usually leave their family names.

Beautiful male foreign surnames are not uncommon for Spaniards. Fernandez is considered one of the most common; she is not inferior in attractiveness to Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Sanchez, Martinez, Perez - they all come from names. Euphonious Spanish surnames also include Castillo, Alvarez, Garcia, Flores, Romero, Pascual, Torres.

French beautiful surnames

Among the French names of childbirth, there are often beautiful surnames for girls. Foreign states acquired permanent names at about the same time as Rus'. In 1539, a royal decree was issued obliging every Frenchman to acquire a personal name and pass it on to his descendants. The first surnames appeared among aristocrats; they were passed on from father to son even before the above-mentioned decree was issued.

Today in France, double family names are acceptable, and parents can also choose which surname the child will bear - the mother's or the father's. The most beautiful and common French genus names: Robert, Perez, Blanc, Richard, Morel, Duval, Fabre, Garnier, Julien.

German common surnames

Beautiful foreign surnames are also found in Germany. In this country, they began to form back in those days. In those days, people had nicknames consisting of the person’s place of birth and his origin. Such surnames provided comprehensive information about their bearers. Nicknames often indicated a person’s type of activity, his physical disadvantages or advantages, and moral qualities. Here are the most popular surnames in Germany: Schmidt (blacksmith), Weber (weaver), Mueller (miller), Hoffmann (yard owner), Richter (judge), Koenig (king), Kaiser (emperor), Herrmann (warrior), Vogel (bird) ).

Italian surnames

The first Italian surnames appeared in the 14th century and were common among noble people. The need for them arose when many people appeared with the same names, but it was necessary to somehow distinguish them. The nickname contained information about the person’s place of birth or residence. For example, the ancestor of the famous artist Leonardo da Vinci lived in the city of Vinci. Most Italian surnames were formed due to the transformation of descriptive nicknames, and they end with There is an opinion that the most beautiful foreign names and surnames are in Italy, and it is difficult to disagree with this: Ramazzotti, Rodari, Albinoni, Celentano, Fellini, Dolce, Versace, Stradivari.

English beautiful surnames

All English family names can be divided into four groups: nominal, descriptive, professional and official, and by place of residence. The first surnames in England appeared in the 12th century and were the privilege of the nobility; in the 17th century absolutely everyone already had them. The most widespread group consists of genealogical names of clans, derived from personal names, or a combination of the names of both parents. Examples include the following: Allen, Henry, Thomas, Ritchie. Many surnames contain the prefix “son,” meaning “son.” For example, Abbotson or Abbot's, that is, the son of Abbott. In Scotland, “son” was denoted by the prefix Mac-: MacCarthy, MacDonald.

Beautiful foreign female surnames are often found among English family names, derived from the place in which the founder of the family was born or lived. For example, Surrey, Sudley, Westley, Wallace, Lane, Brook. Many euphonious surnames indicate the occupation, profession or title of the founder: Spencer, Corner, Butler, Tailor, Walker. Family names of the descriptive type reflect the physical or moral qualities of a person: Moody, Bragg, Black, Strong, Longman, Crump, White.

All genus names are unique and attractive in their own way. It should be remembered that it is not the surname that makes the person, but the person the surname. Studying the history of the origin of certain family names is a very interesting and fascinating activity, during which many secrets of individual families are revealed. There are beautiful and euphonious surnames in any country, but they are different for each person. I mainly like those generic names that are consonant with the name.

The surname is a reflection of the person himself. People are not always happy with their last names. This is especially true for the female half of the population. After all, a girl should be beautiful in everything. Her first and last name should speak of positive qualities. Many people dream of an unusual, original surname, even though they have the most ordinary one. This can be corrected at the passport office, but there is an easier way - take a pseudonym on a social network.

Unusual surnames

For some girls, the beauty of the sound of their name is not so important as the originality of the idea itself. For example, a surname may end in -ova or -eva, but be identical to some adjective. So, the surname Sweet is suitable for a glamorous girl who cares about her image. The surname Shchedraya will delight the owner of this quality, and the surname Kholodnaya will add a touch of arrogance, like the Snow Queen. On the contrary, the surname Teplaya will add charm and tenderness to the young lady.

Eccentric surnames

The surname Luxurious will demonstrate to envious people the greatness of their rival. By the way, such a choice can significantly increase the self-esteem of young women with complexes. Constantly hearing such epithets, she will feel better from a psychological point of view. Superstitious girls can easily become Happy or Bright. The Great surname will make the girl a queen in the eyes of her friends. It’s so nice to realize that your last name makes you successful in absentia and makes your interlocutors smile after the first minutes of meeting you. You can come up with the most beautiful surnames for girls yourself.

Undeclinable surnames for girls

Many people like it when their last name is not declined. That is, the surnames Trava or Us, common in some CIS countries, will appeal to young fashionistas. Such surnames can become a continuation of the girl’s nickname. For example, there are cases when a girl took the surname Beauty, Excellent Student or Cat, based on her past in university and school years. Beautiful surnames for girls are easy to find on the Internet. On a number of forums, people discuss the names of their acquaintances and friends. From this list, girls can choose the perfect nickname for themselves. The inflexible surname Roof or Zvon will add piquancy and a foreign touch to any owner.

The craving for everything foreign has long become common. Russian girls think that everything produced abroad is better than in their homeland. That is why they like to take “VKontakte” for girls; they often have a foreign tint. For example, Adamson or Archers, Laird or Mackenzie can often be found on this social network. A lot of Page, Palmer and Addams covered VKontakte. In addition, the use of the names of famous literary authors is becoming popular. For example, Austen is suitable for a lover of novels. There is also a place for sophisticated admirers of Bradbury's talent. For true detective connoisseurs, the surname Fleming is suitable. A lot of Hardy or Flaubert can be found on the Internet. Such surnames are good to combine with bright ones, for example, Aurora or Giselle.

Surnames from the world of cinema

Another one for girls is the world of cinema. Famous actresses and directors provide food for thought. Fans of Audrey Hepburn are happy to take the name of the famous Holly from Breakfast at Tiffany's.

Those who have watched “Gone with the Wind” will certainly choose O’Hara. Fans of The Thorn Birds will prefer Irish Cleary to any other. And connoisseurs of alternative Spanish cinema will not disdain Almodóvar. The same applies to the surnames Starling and Marple for fans of the detective genre and thriller. A suspense classic takes on a new twist if you take the name Hitchcock. The same can be said for the common but significant surname King. Sexy and successful actresses also influence the list of beautiful surnames for girls. Many have already reached the passport office with a request to become Jolie or Johansson. Luxurious Cruz and Diaz are already walking along the streets of Russian cities.

In addition, such heroines of films and books as the panther Bagheera from Mowgli can also become an extraordinary source for choosing a surname, as numerous girls from social networks prove.

Beautiful for girls

Many models and actresses change their last name when they start their careers. So, the most popular, from a statistical point of view, are surnames of German origin. Among the classics in this vein, the names Müller and Wagner can be distinguished. The surname Richter, meaning “judge,” is suitable for fair and self-confident girls. The surname Kruger is usually chosen by fans of the famous Diana. Her creativity inspires them. Oddly enough, short girls most often choose the surname Klein. It translates as "small". It looks very nice. The surname Koenig elevates girls to royal blood. This variation is usually preferred by those with good self-esteem. The most common surnames are Koch and Fischer. In translation, they do not mean anything pleasant, but for their euphonious sound they remain the most profitable.

Beautiful Russian surnames

It is not necessary to take a surname of foreign origin, because among Russian ones there are very beautiful options. For example, the list of beautiful surnames for girls can easily be supplemented by the surnames of Russian writers and poets. Nekrasova, Lermontov, Pushkin, Tolstaya - all this sounds noble and historical. Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva - it’s so romantic and creative. Almost any female name will go with the surname Dostoevskaya. In addition, you can take a surname in honor of any season. So, Spring or Summer sounds very bright and encouraging. And the surname May will become more of a permanent nickname. In fact, if you have such a beautiful surname, they may even forget about your name, constantly using the surname and its derivatives (May-Mayka, Oreh - Oreshek). In addition, do not forget about the Russian surnames Bereza or Drevesnaya, which is very impressive.

How to choose a surname

The list of beautiful surnames for girls is constantly expanding. By typing a similar query into an Internet search engine, you can find many options on how to change your life. In addition, various forums constantly create such topics. Therefore, you can ask for the opinions of many advanced people from different cities or even countries around the world. At your service are also users of social networks who constantly change their first and last names to something unusual and sonorous.

For example, you can "become" a city person or other object of cultural significance, an animal, a tree, and their derivatives. This is not a joke at all, since according to statistics, the most popular names are still nouns. Children are not only named after Asia, Africa, America, Italy and many other places. Now surnames are becoming like that. Among the singers, drinks or English words are also used. The main thing is that you must understand exactly what you want from your surname: for it to make you more confident or luxurious, sweet or unforgettable, funny or strict.

A list of beautiful surnames for girls is a way to become better and brighter. You can change everything in life, including your name.
