List of the most beautiful Russian surnames in the world

The word "surname" is translated from Latin as "family". This means that this indicates that a person belongs to the genus from which he originated. The emergence of family nicknames was often associated with the profession that the family was engaged in from generation to generation, or with the name of the area in which the family lived, or the family name indicated character traits, specific appearance, nickname. No wonder there is a saying “not in the eyebrow, but in the eye” - people have always hung labels very accurately.

In Russia, at first there was only a first name and patronymic, 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 serfdom was abolished. 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, brings good luck and happiness. But, it’s true, a person with or a family nickname has been teased by peers since childhood, and later he grows up insecure with a whole baggage of complexes. So it turns out that the family name brought bad luck. For people with a beautiful ancestral heritage, things are different. Boys and girls know from childhood that they can do everything in this world, so they walk with their heads held high.

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

For example, modern Spaniards have beautiful surnames - not uncommon. The top guys are:

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

Russian girls often choose generic names of 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 other European counterparts. If it is always pronounced correctly, then French is pronounced differently. For example, the popular Le Pen may sound like "Le Pen", "Le Pen", "De Le Pen". The first French family names were bestowed on the highest circle of the nobility in the 11th century. And only in the 16th century, by royal decree, was it ordered to give every citizen of France a hereditary nickname.

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

• Robert
• Richard
• Bernard
• Duran
• Lefebvre

Women's generic names are not much different from men's. French history ordered that there are no differences and other endings, as in Russian, between surnames, therefore beautiful generic names of women also bear a proper name, for example:

• Leroy
• Bonn
• Francois

German

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

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

Beautiful family designations in Germany appeared from the names of rivers, mountains and other words associated with nature: Bern, Vogelweid. But the most popular generic names came from the occupations of their ancestors. For example, Muller in translation means "miller", and Schmidt - "blacksmith". Rare ones sound beautiful: Wagner, Zimmermann. Women in Germany, as a rule, leave their mother's surname, and the most beautiful are:

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

American

Beautiful American generic names compare favorably with other foreign ones - they are very consonant, and the owners wear them with pride.

1. Robinson
2. Harris
3. Evans
4. Gilmour
5. Florence
6. Stone

8. Newman

As for American women, as elsewhere in the world, girls at birth take the family name of the father, and at marriage - the husband. Even if a girl wants to leave her family name, after marriage she will have a double surname, for example, Maria Goldman, Mrs. Roberts (by her husband). Beautiful generic names for American women:

1. Bellows

American common surnames

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (giving advice and recommendations that can harm, or extorting money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.

So please be careful!

The presented list of the most beautiful surnames in the world will allow you to choose a new one.

The most beautiful surnames in the world

The surname in translation from Latin means "family". This term is called a hereditary name, indicating that a person belongs to a clan or family.

Most of the surnames come from toponyms and activities.

To determine which surnames are the most beautiful in the world, a rating compiled by the Gallup International Research Center will help. This is an institute founded in America in 1935, specializing in the study of public opinion.

Based on the results of the study, a list of surnames was compiled:

• Spanish - Rodriguez.
• Romanov is a surname whose roots go back to the Roman Empire. In the old days, it symbolized power and greatness. The representatives of the surname are the royal persons of the Romanov dynasty.
• Francois - adds a romantic touch, characteristic of France. Its representatives are found far beyond the borders of this country.
• Fitzgerald is an example of an unusual surname that has British roots, but is also common in other parts of the world.
• Werner is a restrained version, the founder of which is a noble German family, who founded the surname over eight centuries ago.
• Berenger is of French origin, the previous form is Berenzon.
• Japanese - Yamamoto.
• Anglo-German - Miller.
• King is a chic aristocratic surname, which is carried by many scientists, directors and writers.
• Lehmann is of German origin, has a businesslike sound.

The listed examples are chosen due to their euphony.

Russians

In Russia, identification with the help of a surname began in the 12th-13th centuries. The formation dragged on until the 19th century. Initially, medieval surnames were assigned to boyar and noble families. In the 18th century, representatives of the clergy received them, and then artisans and peasants.

At first, a nickname was assigned to a person based on the names of parents, occupation, character traits or appearance, and place of residence.

Then peasant and noble families were formed. During this period, the genera of the Kobylins, Travins, Gorbatovs, Trusovs, and Shuiskys appeared.

Church ministers were given surnames from the name of the parish or upon graduation from the seminary: Veliky, Pokrovsky, Dubrovsky, Uspensky. But they could have been invented, achieving euphony. So there were variations that inspire confidence: Dobrolyubovs, Dobromyslovs. Generic names associated with animals are also interesting. These are Zaitsev, Karpov, Medvedev, Sobolev.

A special niche is occupied by Slavic surnames. They are valuable because they are based on ancient names or names of deities of pagan mythology. After the adoption of Christianity, these surnames were banned. And the people who wore them were renamed as a result of the rite of baptism. Examples of such generic names: Dovbush, Dobrynin, Lada, Yarilo.

Ancient surnames are also important. They are based on words that have already come out of speech. These are the names of household items, monetary units, crafts, generic nicknames. Today there are such old surnames: Bandurov, Kalita, Kozhemyaka, Prialkin. In the old days, generic names were changed to Latin variations. As a result, the Bobrovs turned into the Kastorskys, the Orlovs into the Aquilevs, and the Skvortsovs into the Sturnitskys.
