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.

Have you ever wondered where strange surnames come from? After all, there are enough of them. All sorts of Ponosovs, Trusovs, Urodovs, Hoopoe, Vaginas and others. The list is endless. The custom of choosing strange surnames goes back to pagan times. But first things first.
Everyone knows such names as Ivanov, Petrov and Sidorov. You can often hear them in jokes and stories. No one doubts that they originated from common names. But did you know that the names of Ananiev, Gideonov, Mamontov, Poluektov appeared in a similar way?
For example, the basis of the surname Ananiev was the church name Ananias, which in Hebrew means "marked by the grace of God." Mammoth comes from the Greek name Mammoth, which translates as "dominant". And the Russian surname Poluektov - on behalf of Poluekt - long-awaited, coveted and desired.
Derivatives from the profession
The name and surname accompany a person all his life. If you have a noble and noble surname, usually it does not cause any inconvenience to the owner. But if you got, for example, Perebeinos, Kozyulya, Kosorotov, Los, Dristunov, Khudosrakov and the like, most likely you had a hard time as a child. It is rare when in this case it is possible to avoid ridicule from others. Where do they come from?
Since ancient times, people have been given surnames in order to somehow identify them in society. One of these differences was the type of activity, profession. Surnames such as Slesarev, Plotnikov, Domostroev, Kochegarkin, Voevodin, Rybakov, Konovalov exist in many countries, but are pronounced in different languages. For example, Kuznetsov in Ukrainian sounds like Koval.
Educated from nicknames
Very often, even in ancient times, people were given nicknames due to external data, unique qualities or physical features. Later, such nicknames were transformed into the names of our distant ancestors and thus have survived to this day. Examples are Kosoglazov, Krivorotov, Plekhanov (bald), Gorbunov, Nosov, Potekhin (talker), Jesters, Bezborodov and others.
In the modern world, children are often called names because of their dissonant names and surnames. However, before they were not considered something offensive. For example, the surname Vagin or Vagin does not mean an insult at all. It was formed from a geographical name. Previously, this was the name of people living in the village of Vaganovo on the Vaga River.
Other reasons
In ancient Rus', people believed in unclean forces. Therefore, in order to protect their newborn child, parents often gave him a strange and dissonant name. For example, the surname Ponosov belongs to these. "Diarrhea" from Komi-Permian is translated as "dog". Giving the baby such a name, the parents wanted their child to be endowed with the useful qualities of an animal, and also to be close to nature.
The same goes for the relatively dissonant and unpleasant surname Freaks. One version of the origin is as follows. A freak was a person in a clan who was at the head of the clan, was the firstborn. From here, by the way, there was a proverb "in a family not without a black sheep". Although at present, many are not even aware of its true meaning.
Since their inception, surnames in Russia have been more than just an addition to a given name. According to them, it was easy to establish the social status of a resident, and the occupation of the generations of his ancestors, and the territorial part of the state, where the clan of the bearer of the family name arose and grew stronger. It is more difficult to identify the history of carriers of surnames with foreign roots, but even here one can trace documentary facts.
First surnames as the prerogative of the elite
For a long time there were no official surnames in Rus'. They managed with names, patronymics and nicknames. Early chronicle evidence of the 13th century about the presence of surnames concerned only the Novgorod lands.
The first Russian surnames went from the patronymic, according to the baptismal name of one of the ancestors in the male line. Surnames were also formed from the name of the place of residence, type of employment, as well as popular nicknames.
Surnames became obligatory only in the 16th century for the privileged estates of princes and boyars, and after a while - for nobles and merchants. The first to receive an addition to the name after the name of their inheritance were the noble owners of the lands (Vyazemsky, Tverskoy), as well as the most influential and wealthy merchants, at that time mainly North Russian. Merchant surnames reflect their labor specialization (Rybnikov is a fishmonger). Double surnames appeared, formed from the name of the principality and supplemented by a nickname (Lobanov-Rostovsky).
Foreign origin of Russian surnames
Some of the nobles of Russia were not Russian by origin. For example, a foreigner served in the Russian army, then converted to Orthodoxy, married a local woman and finally assimilated. So, it would seem that the completely Russian surname Kiryanov came from the Tatar name Kiryan. The Nakhimovs and Yusupovs appeared on the same principle.There are also examples of the evolution of noble foreign families. From 1490 to 1493, the eminent Italian architect Pietro Antonio Solari supervised the construction of the Kremlin. Subsequently, the surname Solari was transformed into the Russian Solarev. The situation is similar with the surname Chicherin. The founder of the Chicherin family was the translator Chicherini, who came to Russian soil in the retinue of the Byzantine Sophia Paleolog, who later became the Grand Duchess of Moscow.
There are numerous examples of the rebirth of foreign surnames that have changed beyond recognition. For example, many of the Levshins are descendants of the Levenshteins. Their ancestor arrived in Russia in the 14th century to serve Dmitry Donskoy and turned from Levenshtein into Levsha, and his descendants gradually evolved to the Levshins. There are many Khomutovs in Russia, whose surname is absolutely not connected with a horse team, but is formed from the British Hamilton. In the 16th century, a member of a noble family, Thomas Hamilton, came to Russia. His descendants were originally called the boyars Gamantov, but gradually the spelling of the surname changed, resulting in the current version.
Dissonant peasant name as a family cross
The situation with the surnames of the peasants was bleak. Until the 19th century, they were content only with patronymics, nicknames, as well as the mention of their owner. Often nicknames were given with the light hand of a witty master, as a result of which the disenfranchised peasant became Vaska Durakov or Fedka Kosolapov.
After the abolition of serfdom, "nicknames" turned into surnames. Over time, the descendants of the former forced peasants broke out into the light, becoming entrepreneurs and officials. But, despite the social take-off, they continued to be called dissonant, and sometimes ridiculous surnames, which could only be changed with imperial permission. It is clear that to achieve the location of the autocrat is not an easy task. As a result, entire families passed on funny generic names from one generation to another.
Soviet fashion to change the surname violated tribal traditions
The October Revolution launched an active process of changing surnames. In addition to the desire to wash off the unloved peasant family, there were other reasons for such a boom. Someone through a new name sought to express deep revolutionary sentiments, someone tried to hide their class origin. Moreover, few people thought about interrupting the family history of a kind.
For example, in Russia of those times, it became dangerous to bear the name of the Romanovs. In addition, a new society was being formed - the "Soviet people". Many immigrants from the eastern republics, in order to join the general flow, changed their surnames to the most common Russians. Some were guided by purely personal impulses. Among such petitions was the appeal of the future white general Andrei Shkuro, to whom his surname seemed unacceptable for a staff officer. A collective letter to the People's Commissariat of Internal Affairs from the Black Sea sailors has also been preserved. Sailor Durakov wanted to become Vinogradov, Kobelev asked permission to be called Skobelev, and Gnilokvas decided to change his surname to Stepanov.
The procedure for changing the surname was as simplified as possible. It was enough to notify the department of registration of marriages and births about their decision, as well as to publish the corresponding announcement in the newspaper. The number of those wishing to exercise this right went off scale. They decided to turn the situation in favor of the state, and changing the surname became paid. In 1923, a new name cost 20 rubles, and then all 40. However, the high cost of the service did not reduce demand. An ad from the Izvestia newspaper of that time vividly illustrates the reasons for the fashion for changing surnames. It was reported that citizen Zhivolup was henceforth called Dneprov, and Soplyakov wished to turn into Sibiryakov, while Zhulikov and Shirinkin preferred to be called Orlovs. Such a "family" freemen continued until, in April 1940, the NKVD adopted a new instruction on the procedure for changing surnames and names. From now on, to change them, the state required serious grounds and approvals in a number of authorities.
Anyone who is interested in the history of Russia will be interested to know.
As a child, I often wondered why I had such a strange surname that no one could really pronounce. I would prefer that I have a surname, let's say "Lermontov".
We lived in Obolensky Lane. And on my medical card was written in large "GRISHHA", small "Chkhartishvili", and again in large "OBOLENSKY lane". I don't know why they wrote it that way. One day the nurse called out, “Next! Grisha Obolensky! At first I did not understand that it was me. And when I realized it, I really liked it. Then the nurse got used to me (I was a sickly child, did not get out of the clinic) and, no longer looking at the card, called me “Obolensky”. I didn't mind. I was flattered that I was kind of like a prince.
It was only later, at a smarter age, that I realized that every surname is a code, not accidental. Whoever deciphers it correctly will be rewarded. The more complex the code, the bigger the potential win. For example, I have special respect for people with dissonant surnames who have achieved a lot - especially in imposing professions, where it is so important to be beautifully called.
For me, even now it is not a trifle, who is called. Only the principle is different now. What is important is not the beauty or ugliness of the surname, but whether the person corresponds to it or is discordant. If, for example, the formidable head of the FMS is Romodanovsky, let that be. And if the notorious villain, the general director of the RTR, has the surname Dobrodeev, this is already a mockery. "United Russia Chadaev" is some kind of oxymoron or, simply put, cognitive dissonance.
In childhood and adolescence, the names of people meant no less to me than, say, appearance.
We had a very beautiful girl at school, everyone dried up for her. And I could not understand how you can fall in love with someone with the name "Morkovkina". I liked a girl by the name of "Rozhdestvenskaya", although she was not very much. I did not know that this was a priestly surname, I thought it was an aristocratic one. Again, the poet Rozhdestvensky, I loved him then: “Tired athletes dream of records. Severe poets dream of words. Uninhabited islands dream of lovers in a huge city. I thought I would grow up, marry Tanya, take her last name and also be Rozhdestvensky.
Or, already a student, I was going to go to a sports camp with one friend. Making out vouchers, we saw the lists of those who will be in our detachment: guys separately, girls separately. My friend, a pretty dunce, says: “Let's play by last name, who will frame which girl (then the young men talked like that). Only even if it turns out to be a crocodile, go ahead and with a song. "Great," I agreed casually. - Let's". And he pulled out a girl named Usyskin. Maybe she was a beauty, but I didn’t know that. I changed my mind about going to the gym.
Around the same time, I learned that the ancient Japanese changed their name when they decided to radically reorient their destiny. The Japanese understood everything about life. They knew: whatever you call a yacht, so it will float.
I have accumulated a whole flotilla of these yachts during my writing years. Some have even drowned. Each pseudonym was a special code, a separate life.
What is your relationship with your last name? Do we have selfless wives in the BS who, after getting married, changed their beautiful surname to an ugly one?
Who lived life in rhyme with a surname?
Who, on the contrary, refuted it with their life choice?
