No one will argue that some names are considered funny. There were several boys and/or girls in each class who were teased about it. The Kozlovs, the Durakovs, the Petukhovs... We can say that they were not very lucky: the "middle name" was successfully transformed into offensive nickname. How many boys and girls have received serious psychological complexes just because they were born in the Korytkin or Trusikhin family? Many people even strive to start a family as soon as possible just to change their last name, and one of the main criteria for choosing a "soulmate" is the harmony of his "second name". This is especially true for girls: some of them are ready to forgive the chosen one for many shortcomings just because he is the bearer of a noble or beautiful foreign surname.
The most beautiful surnames in the world, harmonious and giving self-confidence, will be listed in this article.
What is a surname?
The word "surname" literally translates as "family". That is given value indicates that a person belongs to a certain genus. In Russia, most of the surnames come from the profession or the village where the family lived. The ancestors of the Kuznetsovs were the most skilled blacksmiths, the Popovs were clergymen, and the Tolmachev family was probably initiated by a translator with Tatar language- interpreter. You can list such examples endlessly: Rybakovs, Goncharovs, Melnikovs ... If you are a carrier of such generic name, it’s worth considering: maybe the genes of your ancestors are dormant in you and you should change your occupation, focusing on your own middle name?
Surnames that originated from the name of the ancestor of the family are very popular in Russia: Ivanovs (Ivan), Semenovs (Semyon), Zakharyevs (Zakhar) and so on.
Initially, in Russia there was no such difference - there were only names and patronymics. In the XIV century, the first owners of surnames were noble people - boyars and nobles. The peasants received the right to a "second name" only after the abolition of serfdom.
Beautiful Russian surnames
Interestingly, the most beautiful surnames for Russians are those that once belonged to nobles: Vyazemsky, Orlovsky, Obolensky. This is not surprising, because it emphasizes belonging to the aristocracy, giving its owner an indescribable charm. However, surnames ending in -sky can also belong to people whose ancestors were from Poland.
By the way, the surname Romanov, which was worn by representatives of the latter ruling dynasty The Russian Empire is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. This is not surprising, because Rome has always been one of the most powerful powers that created a unique cultural heritage. In Russia, she is considered not only one of the most beautiful, but also crowned.
Naturally, the Russians make a rather positive impression. male surnames formed from the names of animals. Of course, we are not talking about banal roosters, cows or even pigs. Volkov, Orlov, Lebedev - male surnames that evoke associations with sublime, noble animals and, of course, seem beautiful and pleasant. Likewise the best female surnames- those that are associated with beauty, tenderness, kindness, motherhood. It can be: Krasnikova, Mariinsky, Rucheykova, Tsvetkova.
"Cool" Russian surnames are very popular, the carriers of which left a mark in history Russian state. For example, Mamontovs, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Golitsyns, Trubetskoy, Yusupovs, Potemkins. Usually their carriers really belong to a noble family: such "second names" were given to high-ranking people, while the rest had to be content with a surname derived from the profession or the name of a great-grandfather.
The most beautiful foreign surnames
Polls show that the most popular surname in the world is Rodriguez. She seems beautiful and very melodious. Maybe that's why the actor Antonio Rodriguez managed to achieve his popularity?
By the way, a huge number of people have such a surname: it is very common in the world. It is interesting that it came from the name of Rodrigo, which, in turn, comes from the ancient German name Rodrigue. The first part of the name - "kind" - is translated as "glory", and the second - "rig" - means "strength", "power". So, the Rodrigues are simply doomed to great fame and inexhaustible energy.
In second place on this list is Francois. The sound of this word evokes associations with a leisurely walk through the quiet Parisian streets, the aroma of coffee and croissants and a wonderful French chanson. Yes, and by ear it is perceived easily, unusually soft and euphonious.
Fitzgerald is rightfully in third place. This "middle name" was taken as a pseudonym by writers, musicians and artists: apparently, it hides creative charge, which nourishes the creators and gives them strength for new works. This surname is a transliteration of the Norman phrase, which can be translated as "son of Gerald."
Another beautiful foreign generic name is Werner. It is of German origin and translates as "protect and arm". However, there is another, very prosaic hypothesis: some researchers believe that the word "Werner" means a banal barley on the eye. Therefore, it is possible that the ancestors of all living Werners had a common physical defect. Of course, this does not exclude the fact that they were brave warriors. But be that as it may, the surname sounds just great: it is associated with the "gloomy German genius", pedantry and accuracy.
Beautiful English surname - Buckingham, Clifford, Mortimer, Lincoln, Cornwall, Wiltshire. As you can see, English famous family names are associated with the aristocracy.
This list must also include oriental motifs. Japanese surname Yakomoto is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. When you hear it, there are associations with cherry blossoms, medieval Japanese engravings and concise, capacious haiku. And this is no coincidence, because it is translated as "the foot of the mountain." Probably, the ancestors of all Yakomoto lived near the famous Fujiyama and, admiring its peak, composed magnificent poems.
American residents prefer the ancestral name King. It seems to them very beautiful and, so to speak, prestigious. Indeed, "king" is translated from English as "king". It is this generic name that the recognized king of horror Stephen King bears: it is possible that worldwide fame and it was a beautiful surname that brought him good luck. At the very least, it's hard to imagine a king being a shy and insecure person.
The surname Miller is extremely popular in the English-speaking world. It is she who is usually chosen by people who decide to change their "second name". Miller points to the nature of the occupation of the ancestor of the family, as it literally translates as "miller". In England, you can meet a huge number of Millers: the profession of a miller in this country was in great demand. Very often American subjects are also Millers.
Completes the list of Lehmann. This name sounds pretty good. In addition, psychologists have found that its carriers inspire the trust of business partners. Therefore, if you are planning to do business abroad, you should start collecting documents for changing your passport, as Lehmann will become a real talisman for you!
Should I change my last name?
A logical question may arise: maybe you should just take and change your last name? After all, people automatically treat the owners of beautiful surnames a little better, giving them certain qualities associated with the second name. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that Durakov and Vyazemsky will be treated equally. Should I change my last name? The answer to this question will be ambiguous.
On the one hand, people really react to how your name sounds. If it evokes pleasant associations, then those around you will subconsciously perceive you a little better. However, it is known that they are greeted by clothes, but escorted by mind. Before becoming Dostoevsky or Romanov, it is worth considering whether you will fit the chosen big name.
Many dream of becoming owners of a foreign surname. After all, it has always been customary to treat foreigners in Russia with some reverence. But do not rush to change documents. "Cool" foreign surnames are beautiful in combination with foreign names: it is worth considering how this combination will turn out in your case. Owners of international names, such as Elena or Maria, are lucky: they can safely take foreign surnames. But for the girls "Love King", "Hope François" or for the guys "Sergey Rodriguez", "Vasily Miller" sounds pretty ridiculous.
In addition, the surname has some influence on you. We are talking about the fact that the full name contains some information about your gender. Do you want to erase this information and write a new one? This issue should concern girls who get married: fortunately, in our society there is no need to take the husband's surname. In extreme cases, you may well become the owner of a double surname. By the way, they seem to many people especially beautiful and noble.
This list is subjective. Each family name is beautiful in its own way, because all of them are evidence of the history of our country and your family!
Coming into this world, we do not choose for ourselves neither parents, nor surnames, names and patronymics. Initially, dads and moms or other people do it for us. And if for a second imagine that everyone can call himself whatever he wants, based on personal tastes and preferences? Here are some interesting information issued on this topic. It was carried out taking into account the point of view of both sexes, and concerned male surnames.
"We do not care!"
This is exactly the reaction of the majority of the young people surveyed of the strong half of humanity to the question of what, from their point of view, is the most beautiful surname for a guy. With a smile, they answered that they were quite satisfied with their relatives received from their ancestors, but in general they didn’t think much about such a problem. “Not Pupkin and Pukin, not Chick, so why be smart!” - approximately the following was answered by every fourth of the respondents. Well, in a way they are right. But there are other opinions about what a beautiful surname should be for a guy. Let's consider them in more detail!
Prince Friends
Firstly, these are the names of ancient noble families. Of course, sometimes they do not amaze with euphony, but the breed has its own, strongest charm. Let's start really with a very prestigious and significant - the Romanovs. Nice name for a guy, right? Especially royal, because Peter Alekseevich, who is also the First, will be from this tribe! Its roots are connected with male name Roman, and it, in turn, goes back to the Latin word, which means "Roman" in translation.
No less worthy and beautiful surname for a guy is Apraksin, also ancient, noble, famous. Its bearers loudly declared themselves back in the 15-16 centuries, and then they adequately carried the glorious name of their ancestors in the history and culture of Russia. Pushkins, Zavadovskys, Karamzins, Volkonskys and Bolkonskys, Obolenskys, Vyazemskys, Razumovskys are also remembered. These are really expressive and beautiful surnames for guys, the list of which can be continued for a long time.
From name to origin
Let's consider how and where some of the "nicknames" that Rus was once proud of came from. For example, Diamonds. Sounds good, right? It comes from the name of the village of Almazovka, and the mention of this noble family dates back to the 17th century. I also remember such beautiful male surnames as Aksakov, Lermontov. Firstly, they are of foreign origin (Turkic and Scottish-English), and secondly, both families glorified Russian literature throughout the world, giving our culture wonderful writers. The origin of the nickname Obolensky is interesting. IN Kaluga region there was once the city of Obolensk, which was granted for perpetual use to a certain nobleman who distinguished himself in his defense. To emphasize his material wealth, he began to be called Obolensky, giving rise to a new surname. The genealogy of the Vyazemskys is connected with the toponym - from the small ancestral town of Vyazma, which stood on a viscous, muddy river. On a geographical basis, such beautiful Russian male surnames as Onegin, Pechorin, Rostov, Meshchersky, Olenin, Polonsky, and others were formed.
Connection with nature
Sonorous names, original, pleasing to the ear, were drawn by a person from the natural world. For example, Orlov, Gromov, Zhuravlev, Lebedev, Korolev, Sokolov, Vinogradov, Morozov, Sobolev, Solovyov. Some of them come from the names of the breeds eagle, swan, crane, wren. Three-quarters of the respondents agree that it is for guys. The Gromovs and Morozovs are associated with natural phenomena - thunderstorms and the onset of "gray winter". The musical surname Talnikov speaks of spring, the first thawed patches, snowdrops, a mighty flood, the awakening of nature and life. Vinogradovs, Travnikovs, Tsvetkovs - "plant" origin.
Diminutive variants
It is worth mentioning beautiful surnames for boys, Russian by origin. They are diminutive, affectionate, soft to the ear and gentle. For example, Orlik, Zaichikov or Kotenochkin, Kotik (option - Kotikov), Korolkov. Such an observation was made female half respondents. The male one did not give intelligible answers to the corresponding question. This is apparently related to psychological features perception of the surrounding world by representatives of different sexes.
Distinctive features and their characteristics
How many people, so many opinions - this is completely convinced by the statistics of choosing what is the most beautiful surname for a guy. Why are such options as Silver, Serebrov, Serebryansky bad? All of them are associated with the noble precious metal and are associated with jewelry. This is exactly what the people who named them as an example noted. Moreover, preference, nevertheless, was given to the first option as more harmonious, refined, pleasant. The surname Bogatyrev is also popular. According to the respondents, she exudes strength, courage, and reliability. Associations with the heroes of ancient Russian epics, mighty knights who protected civilians from the raids of nomadic Tatar tribes, are also natural. The famous “Derzhavin” sounds no less proud and solid - from “power”, “country”, “state”. Yes, and the famous poet "old man Derzhavin", who blessed Pushkin for poetic work, also fits into the circle of analogies. This is how in the surnames the ancient antiquity comes to life, and the gray-haired history is resurrected in the faces!
From first names to last names
Many nicknames, as surnames were once called, came from This feature was noticed by many of those who participated in the survey. Especially often called the following: Alexandrov. It comes from the name Alexander, which in Greek means "protector of people." It is believed that such a nickname imposes certain duties on its bearer and brings up qualities corresponding to a high purpose. As beautiful male surnames, such as Timofeev, Savelyev were repeatedly mentioned. The first is connected with the name Timothy, which was also transferred to Russian soil from Ancient Greece. Its meaning is "God-loving, honoring his God." Based on semantics, such a surname in Rus' was often called priests, monks. Subsequently, it lost its religious connotation and began to be regarded as a general one. The second goes back to the primordially Russian personal name Savel (“hard worker”), and it, in turn, to the biblical Saul (“begged, begged from God”). According to third sources, Saveliev comes from Latin word"sabelsky", i.e. "unpretentious", "simple". This name and surname were given, for the most part, to people from the common people, peasants. There were many Savelyevs among the barge haulers. Currently, according to statistics, it accounts for about a fifth of the total number of "nicknames".
foreign exotic
Our people are greedy for everything foreign. Therefore, in the survey, beautiful foreign male surnames were singled out as a separate item. What did we get? One of the most popular was Washington. True, in addition to aesthetic parameters, it was associated with the first dollar bills, wealth. For the same reason, another legendary surname was called - Rockefeller. Interestingly, both of them seemed attractive to both the male and female part of the respondents. Further, such exotic names for the Russian ear as Lee, Gonzalez, Oreiro, Smith, Marshall are recognized as interesting.

For example, Armand, Amadou, Dubois, Delacroix, Leroy, Morel, Benoit, Viardot, Carot, Curie, Reno, Rousseau, etc. Some of them are famous thanks to artists: artists, writers, musicians. Others came along with the heroes of books and movies. True, the preference in choosing French options for their gentlemen is more made by girls than for themselves by men.

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, belong to a geographical area. Each country has its own euphonious surnames, so you need to choose the best of them for each region separately.
What surnames can be called beautiful?
Most people are proud of the name of their kind, although there are those who are not averse to changing it to a more harmonious one. Each country has its own surnames, but their origin is almost the same. The family received a personal name on behalf of its founder, his nickname, occupation, availability of land, belonging to some kind of status. Animals and plants are also often found. Nevertheless, we choose the most beautiful foreign surnames according to their euphony, and not according to the meaning of the content, which is not always known to us. In some cases, the name of the genus begins to please if its bearer is the idol of millions, historical figure who did something good and useful for humanity.
Aristocratic surnames
Noble families always sounded solemn, proud and high-flown. Rich people were proud of their origin and noble blood. Beautiful foreign surnames are mainly found among the descendants of noble families, and 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 harmonious, often heard, so people are imbued with sympathy for them.
In England, the names of earls and wealthy nobles can be attributed to the beautiful: Bedford, Lincoln, Buckingham, Cornwall, Oxford, Wiltshire, Clifford, Mortimer. In Germany: Munchausen, Fritsch, Salm, Moltke, Rosen, Siemens, Isenburg, Stauffenberg. In Sweden: Fleming, Yllenborg, Kreutz, Gorn, 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, many euphonious surnames have come that cause tenderness. Their owners were mainly people who liked certain animals, birds, plants, or they were similar in appearance or character. There are a huge number of such examples in Rus': Zaitsev, Orlov, Vinogradov, Lebedev, there are also in other countries. For example, in England: Bush (bush), Bull (bull), Swan (swan).
Beautiful foreign surnames are often formed on behalf 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 attributed to beautiful, harmonious and successful, because they are greeted by clothes, so a good generic name helps many people to win over when they meet.
Spanish euphonious surnames
In Spaniards, family names are mostly double, they are connected by particles "y", "de", a hyphen or written with a space. The father's surname is written first, and the mother's surname is written second. It should be noted that the particle "de" indicates aristocratic background founder. Spanish law provides for no more than two given names and no more than two surnames. When getting married, women usually leave their family names.

Fernandez is considered one of the most common, Rodriguez, Gonzalez, Sanchez, Martinez, Perez are not inferior in attractiveness to her - they all came from names.
