List of the most beautiful Russian surnames in the world

The word "surname" is translated from Latin language, how is the family". This means that this indicates that a person belongs to the clan from which he came. The emergence of family nicknames was often associated with the profession that the family practiced from generation to generation or with the name of the area in which the family lived, or the name of the family indicated character traits, specific appearance, and a nickname. It’s not for nothing that there is a saying “not in the eye, but in the eye” - people have always applied labels very accurately.

In Russia, at first there were only first and patronymic names, and the first surnames appeared only in the 14th century. Naturally, noble people received them: princes, boyars, nobles. Peasants received official family names only at the end of the 19th century, when they abolished serfdom. The first names of dynasties came from the names of places of residence, birth or possessions: Tver, Arkhangelsk, Zvenigorod, Moskvin.

A selection of the most beautiful foreign surnames

Foreigners believe that a beautiful surname helps the family and brings good luck and happiness. But, it’s true, a person with a family nickname is teased by his peers from childhood, and subsequently he grows up insecure with a whole baggage of complexes. So it turns out that family name brought bad luck. For people with a beautiful family heritage, everything turns out differently. From childhood they know that they can do anything in this world, so they walk with their heads held high.

Each country has its own beautiful surnames, which are unusual to the Russian ear. But the origin of family designations is the same all over the world. Some took the name of their city, while others took the nickname of the founder of the clan, the occupation of the family, and their status. Among foreign names You can also often find the names of plants, birds, and animals. If a Russian person chooses foreign name, then, as a rule, he does not delve into its meaning, but makes a choice according to its euphony.

For example, Spaniards have beautiful surnames - not uncommon. The most common are:

• Rodriguez
• Fernandez
• Gonzalez
• Perez
• Martinez
• Sanchez

Russian girls often choose generic names for themselves Spanish origin:

• Alvarez
• Torres
• Romero
• Flores
• Castillo
• Garcia
• Pascual

French surnames

All variants of French surnames are endowed with special beauty and charm. This language is very different from its other European counterparts. If it is always pronounced correctly, then French ones are pronounced differently. For example, the popular Le Pen can sound like “Le Pen”, “Le Pen”, “De Le Pen”. First French names families were given the highest circle nobility in the 11th century. It was only in the 16th century that a royal decree ordered that every French citizen be given a hereditary nickname.

Since then French surnames from generation to generation they are included in the church metrics. The most beautiful family nicknames in France come from proper names, from the occupation of the family or from geographical names, in which the family was born. Widespread French male family names:

• Robert
• Richard
• Bernard
• Duran
• Lefebvre

Female generic names are not much different from male ones. French history ordered that no differences or other endings, as in the Russian language, exist between surnames, therefore beautiful generic names for women also bear their own name, for example:

• Leroy
• Bonn
• Francois

German

Generic names in Germany arose in the same way as in other countries: first they were received by the nobility, then by feudal lords and small landowners, and then by the lower strata of the population. The entire process of forming hereditary nicknames took about 8 centuries, and the first surnames appeared based on proper names. Vivid examples are German male generic nicknames:

1. Werner
2. Hermann
3. Jacobi
4. Peters

Beautiful family designations in Germany arose from the names of rivers, mountains and other words related to nature: Bern, Vogelweid. But the most popular generic names come from the occupations of their ancestors. For example, Müller means “miller”, and Schmidt means “blacksmith”. Rare ones sound beautiful: Wagner, Zimmerman. Women in Germany, as a rule, leave their mother's surname, and the most beautiful are considered to be:

1. Lehmann
2. Mayer
3. Peters
4. Fisher
5. Weiss

Since ancient times, a surname could change a person’s life; it carried the entire history of the family and gave many privileges. People spent a lot of effort and finances to have a good title, and sometimes even sacrificed their lives for this. It was almost impossible for an ordinary resident to be included in the list of nobles.

Types of titles

Titles in Tsarist Russia there were many, each of them had its own history and carried its own capabilities. All noble families followed the family tree and very carefully selected pairs for their family members. The marriage of two noble families was more of a calculated calculation than love relationships. Russian noble families stayed together and did not allow members without a title into their families.

Among these genera could be:

1. Princes.
2. Graphs.
3. Barons.
4. Kings.
5. Dukes.
6. Marquises.

Each of these clans had its own history and led its own family tree. It was strictly forbidden for a nobleman to create a family with a commoner. Thus, it was almost impossible for an ordinary ordinary resident of Tsarist Russia to become a nobleman, except for very great achievements before the country.

Princes Rurikovich

Princes are one of the highest noble titles. Members of such a family always had a lot of land, finances and slaves. It was a great honor for a representative of the family to be at court and help the ruler. Having proven himself, a member of the princely family could become a trusted person of the ruler. The famous noble families of Russia in most cases had a princely title. But titles could be divided according to the methods of obtaining them.

One of the most famous princely families in Russia were the Rurikovichs. The list of noble families begins with her. The Rurikovichs are immigrants from Ukraine and descendants of Igor’s great Rus'. The roots of many European rulers come from This is a strong dynasty that brought a lot to the world famous rulers, for a long time in power throughout Europe. But a number historical events, which occurred in those days, divided the family into many branches. Russian noble families, such as Pototsky, Peremyshl, Chernigov, Ryazan, Galician, Smolensky, Yaroslavl, Rostov, Belozersky, Suzdal, Smolensky, Moscow, Tver, Starodubsky, belong specifically to the Rurik family.

Other princely titles

In addition to the descendants of the Rurikovich family, noble families in Russia can be such as the Otyaevs. This family received its title thanks to the good warrior Khvostov, who had the nickname Otyay in the army, and dates back to one thousand five hundred and forty-three.

The Ofrosmovs are an example strong will and a great desire to achieve the goal. The founder of the family was a strong and courageous warrior.

The Pogozhevs come from Lithuania. The founder of the family was helped to obtain the princely title by his oratory and the ability to conduct military negotiations.

The list of noble families also includes the Pozharskys, Polevys, Pronchishchevs, Protopopovs, Tolstoys, and Uvarovs.

Count's titles

But the names noble origin- these are not only princes. Count dynasties also had high titles and powers at court. This title was also considered very high and gave a lot of powers.

Receiving the title of count was a great achievement for any member of royal society. Such a title, first of all, made it possible to have power and be closer to the ruling dynasty. Noble names Russia is mostly made up of counts. The easiest way to achieve this title was through successful military operations.

One of these surnames is Sheremetv. This is a count family that still exists in our time. General of the Army received this title for his achievements in military operations and service royal family.

Ivan Golovkin is the founder of another family of noble origin. According to many sources, this is a count who appeared in Russia after the wedding of his only daughter. One of the few count families that ended with a single representative of the dynasty.

The noble surname Minich had many branches, and the main reason for this was the large number of women in this family. When marrying, Milikh women took a double surname and mixed titles.

Courtiers received many count titles during the reign of Catherine Petrovna. She was a very generous queen and awarded titles to many of her military leaders. Thanks to her, such names as Efimovsky, Gendrikov, Chernyshev, Razumovsky, Ushakov and many others appeared on the list of nobles.

Barons at court

Many holders of baronial titles also had famous noble families. Among them there are tribal families and granted barons. This, like all other titles, could be obtained with good service. And of course, the simplest and most effective way was to carry out military operations for the homeland.

This title was very popular in the Middle Ages. The family title could be received by wealthy families who sponsored royal family. This title appeared in the fifteenth century in Germany and, like everything new, gained great popularity. The royal family practically sold it to all rich families who had the opportunity to help and sponsor all the royal endeavors.

To bring rich families closer to him, he introduced a new title - baron. One of the first owners of this title was the banker De Smith. Thanks to banking and trading, this family earned its finances and was elevated to the rank of baron by Peter.

Russian noble families with the title of baron also added the surname Fridriks. Like de Smith, Yuri Fridriks was a good banker who lived and worked at the royal court for a long time. Born into a titled family, Yuri also received a title under Tsarist Russia.

In addition to them, there were a number of surnames with the title of baron, information about which was stored in military documents. These are warriors who earned their titles by actively participating in hostilities. Thus, the noble families of Russia were replenished with such members as: Baron Plotto, Baron von Rummel, Baron von Malama, Baron Ustinov and the family of Baron Schmidt brothers. Most of them came from European countries and came to Russia on work matters.

Royal families

But not only titled families are included in the list of noble families. Russian noble families headed the royal families for many years.

One of the most ancient royal families of Russia were the Godunovs. This is the royal family, which was in power for many years. The first of this family was Tsarina Godunova, who formally ruled the country for only a few days. She renounced the throne and decided to spend her life in a monastery.

The next, no less famous surname of the royal Russian family- these are the Shuiskys. This dynasty spent little time in power, but was included in the list of noble families of Russia.

The Great Queen Skavronskaya, better known as Catherine the First, also became the founder of the royal family dynasty. We should not forget about such a royal dynasty as Biron.

Dukes at court

Russian noble families also have the title of dukes. Receiving the title of Duke was not so easy. Basically, these families included very rich and ancient families of Tsarist Russia.

The owners of the title of Duke in Russia were the Chertozhansky family. The clan existed for many centuries and was engaged agriculture. This was a very rich family that had a lot of land.

The Duke of Nesvizh is the founder of the city of the same name Nesvizh. There are many versions of the origin of this family. The Duke was a great connoisseur of art. His castles were the most remarkable and beautiful buildings of that time. Owning large lands, the duke had the opportunity to help tsarist Russia.

Menshikov is another of the famous ducal families in Russia. Menshikov was not just a duke, he was a famous military leader, army general and governor of St. Petersburg. He received his title for his achievements and service to the royal crown.

Title of Marquis

The title of marquis in Tsarist Russia was mainly given to wealthy families with foreign origins. This was an opportunity to bring foreign capital into the country. One of the most famous names was Traversie. This is an ancient French family, whose representatives were at the royal court.

Among the Italian marquises was the Paulluci family. Having received the title of marquis, the family remained in Russia. Another Italian family received the title of marquis at the royal court of Russia - Albizzi. This is one of the richest Tuscan families. They earned all their income from entrepreneurial activities in the production of fabrics.

Meaning and privileges of title

For courtiers, having a title provided many opportunities and wealth. When receiving a title, it often brought with it generous gifts from the crown. Often these gifts were lands and wealth. The royal family gave such gifts for special achievements.

For rich families who earned their wealth on the generous Russian soil, it was very important to have a good title, for this they financed the royal undertakings, thereby buying their family a high title and good attitude. In addition, only titled families could be close to the royal family and participate in ruling the country.

The word “nobleman” itself means: “courtier” or “a person with princely court" The nobility was the highest class of society.
In Russia, the nobility was formed in the XII-XIII centuries, mainly from representatives of the military service class. Starting from the 14th century, nobles received land plots for their service, and family surnames most often came from their names - Shuisky, Vorotynsky, Obolensky, Vyazemsky, Meshchersky, Ryazan, Galitsky, Smolensky, Yaroslavl, Rostov, Belozersky, Suzdal, Smolensky, Moscow, Tver... Other noble surnames came from the nicknames of their bearers: Gagarins, Humpbacks, Glazatyes, Lykovs. Some princely families were a combination of the name of the inheritance and a nickname: for example, Lobanov-Rostovsky.
At the end of the 15th century, surnames of foreign origin began to appear in the lists of the Russian nobility - they belonged to people from Greece, Poland, Lithuania, Asia and Western Europe, who had aristocratic origins and moved to Russia. Here we can mention such names as Fonvizins, Lermontovs, Yusupovs, Akhmatovs, Kara-Murzas, Karamzins, Kudinovs.
Boyars often received surnames from the baptismal name or nickname of the ancestor and included possessive suffixes. To such boyar surname include the Petrovs, Smirnovs, Ignatovs, Yuryevs, Medvedevs, Apukhtins, Gavrilins, Ilyins.
The royal family of the Romanovs is of the same origin. Their ancestor was a boyar from the time of Ivan Kalita, Andrei Kobyla. He had three sons: Semyon Zherebets, Alexander Elka
Kobylin and Fedor Koshka. Their descendants received the surnames Zherebtsov, Kobylin and Koshkin, respectively. One of the great-grandsons of Fyodor Koshka, Yakov Zakharovich Koshkin, became the founder of the noble family of the Yakovlevs, and his brother Yuri Zakharovich began to be called Zakharyin-Koshkin. The latter’s son’s name was Roman Zakharyin-Yuryev. His son Nikita Romanovich and his daughter Anastasia, the first wife of Ivan the Terrible, bore the same surname. However, the children and grandchildren of Nikita Romanovich became the Romanovs after their grandfather. This surname was borne by his son Fyodor Nikitich (Patriarch Filaret) and the founder of the last Russian royal dynasty, Mikhail Fedorovich.
In the era of Peter the Great, the nobility was replenished by representatives of the non-military classes, who received their titles as a result of advancement through public service. One of them was, for example, an associate of Peter I, Alexander Menshikov, who from birth had a “low” origin, but was awarded the princely title by the tsar. In 1785, by decree of Catherine II, special privileges were established for nobles.

Royal families

In Rus', surnames were also born according to branches family tree. This happened in the ruling dynasties of the Rurikovichs, Romanovs, and other princely and boyar families. IN chronicle code The Tale of Bygone Years mentions that the legendary Varangian Rurik came to Novgorod with his retinue and began to rule there in 862. Rurik was succeeded by Oleg, one of his close warriors, who moved south and conquered Kyiv. After Oleg, power in Kyiv passed to Igor, and then to his wife Olga. According to some chronicle sources, Igor was considered the son of Rurik, so all the descendants of Igor and Olga began to call themselves Rurikovich. The Rurik dynasty ruled the Russian lands from the 9th to the 16th centuries. They stood at the head of small and large principalities of the period feudal fragmentation, and then at the head of the Old Russian state.

The name of the founder of this dynasty turned into a surname. To understand the meaning of the surname Rurikovich, you need to look at the translation of the name Rurik. There are two versions of the origin of this name. According to one of them, Rurik was not a personal name, but a kind of titular nickname, indicating a person’s high rank. Translated from the Scandinavian "hrodra rikr" means "glorious ruler." Among the representatives of the Rurik dynasty there were indeed many famous rulers who corresponded given meaning your last name.

And according to the second version, the name Rurik could come from the Scandinavian word “rorik” - “falcon”. Since it is necessary to consider all possible meanings in a surname, let us pay attention to this version. The falcon, on the one hand, is a high-flying bird, and on the other hand, falcons were tamed and kept for royal hunting. This is a bird of power, but its power is based on submission to someone. This distinguishes the falcon from the eagle, which rules on its own. Although the falcon flies high, it obeys the falconer’s command, and upon returning, a cap is placed on its head. This bird personifies the principle of service, the warrior. This meaning of the surname was very lost in the history of the entire Rurikovich dynasty.

The Novgorodians hired Rurik along with the Varangian squad and invited them to defend the city. Prince Rurik was supposed to perform the functions of a warrior-commander, serve the townspeople, and the government of the city was to be carried out by an elected veche. The first princes of the Rurik dynasty really corresponded to the meaning of the surname associated with the image of a falcon; they were warriors, led all campaigns of conquest, and themselves collected tribute from the territories under their control. Svyatoslav Rurikovich, son of Igor and Olga, who was the first of this dynasty to receive Slavic name, most of all embodied the image of the prince-commander; he spent his entire life in long military campaigns and battles.

The princes of the Rurik dynasty had to voluntarily submit to someone else's influence; they actually played out the image of a falcon obeying someone's hand. First Olga and then Vladimir bowed to Byzantium and accepted Christianity. Then the Mongols kept Rus' under their hood for 200 years, the Rurikovichs had to receive a label to reign in the Golden Horde. But without such subordination to external conditions, they would not have been able to cope with internal strife and civil strife, or to unite the scattered lands into a single state.

The mystery of the surname shows true role, which its bearers should play in universal human history. If the Rurikovichs tried to deviate from their assigned role, they immediately lost. When Grand Duke Igor of Kiev felt too free and tried to collect tribute from the Drevlyans a second time, but he immediately paid the price and was brutally killed.

Another Rurikovich, Andrei Bogolyubsky, the son of Yuri Dolgorukov, was killed by the conspirators after he began to strive for absolute power. They wrote about him in the chronicle: “although he will be an autocrat.” Starting with Andrei Bogolyubsky, the Rurik dynasty began the period of formation of absolute monarchical power, which ultimately led them to a sad ending. In 1547, Ivan Vasilyevich Rurikovich, nicknamed the Terrible, was crowned king. The Rurik dynasty became royal. But this contradicted the meaning of their surname, and in 1598, with the death of Tsar Fyodor Ivanovich, this dynasty was interrupted.

Note that after the formation of a centralized state, many of the Rurikovichs lost their fiefdoms, specific possessions and amounted to upper layer Moscow service people became the so-called “princes,” continuing to embody the mystery of their surname associated with service.

After the decline of the Rurik dynasty, power passed to the Romanov dynasty. The surname Romanov comes from the name Roman. This boyar family began to call itself the Romanovs from the 16th century, and before that they were Koshkins, then Zakharyins. Archival records indicate that in the first half of the 14th century there lived a boyar of the Moscow princes, Andrei Ivanovich Kobyla. One of his sons, Alexander Elka Kobylin, continued the Kobylin family. Another son, Ignatius Zherebets Kobylin, became the ancestor of the Zherebtsovs, while the younger Fedor Koshka Kobylin became the ancestor of the Koshkins. Until the 16th century, the ancestors of the Romanovs were called Koshkins, and then the Zakharyins branch emerged from this family.

The rise of the Zakharyins began after the marriage of Tsar Ivan the Terrible to the daughter of Roman Yuryevich Zakharyin, Anastasia. The founder of the Romanov family was the third son of Roman Yuryevich, Nikita Romanovich. Nikita Romanovich's son was tonsured a monk under the name Filaret, and later became a Russian patriarch. At the Zemsky Sobor in 1613, Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov, the son of Fyodor-Filaret, the grandson of the founder of the Romanovs, was elected Russian Tsar. At first the Romanov family became royal dynasty, and since 1721 - imperial.

Only when this humble family began to call themselves the Romanovs did they really have a chance to gain power and the question of their election to the kingdom immediately arose. The Romanovs were able to establish themselves in Moscow precisely because in the 16th century it was announced as the Third Rome. And as soon as this happened, the Romanovs appeared. The name Roman translates as “Roman, Roman” and refers to the history of education Ancient Rome. The Romanovs were able to eliminate all their competitors for obtaining royal power, since the archetype of their surname was in demand at that time. Ivan the Terrible declared himself a king, i.e., Caesar, Caesar, and manifested the archetype of the Roman Empire. After this, the Romanovs began to rise and replaced the Rurikovichs, since they were better suited in their clan scenario to carry out the program of creating an empire, the Third Rome.

The Roman principle, which the Romanovs carried in their surname, predetermined their choice and path in life. The fate of this dynasty is very reminiscent of the fate of Ancient Rome. Having come to power, the Romanovs turned Russia into an empire. They also had a Senate, which played a ceremonial and decorative role under the emperor, as in Rome of later times.
