Each person pays a lot of attention to his surname. He studies its meaning, where it came from, what are its roots. However, the most ridiculous and unusual surnames presented here do not bring joy to their owners, and many seriously dream of getting rid of such a gift from their parents.

One can only be surprised at the inexhaustible human imagination and have fun from the heart when meeting such proper names in serious documents or on door plates in the offices of respectable bosses. The list presented is real surnames found on the territory of Russia and belonging to its citizens. Numerous photos are evidence of this.

The culture of the Cossacks has always been unique and somewhat different from the cultures of other indigenous peoples of Rus'. This originality was also reflected in those nicknames that were given to warriors according to various signs or qualities of character. In the future, with the advent of surnames in the 19th century. they became official surnames.

• Unclean
• Walking day
• Weakness
• Drozhiruk
• rottooth
• Pidkuimikha
• Nosulya
• Neeshmak
• yellowleg
• Helpbatko
• Mordan

Of course, the Cossack guys also had ordinary, Orthodox names, but given the specifics of the army, frequent campaigns and close communication, people with the same names had to be distinguished, and then observation and humor came into play. For example, two Sashas could be very different in appearance or temperament, and then each got his own nickname. Now, no one could confuse them during roll call or call them in battle during a fight.

Double surnames with strange meanings

In Russia, it is not uncommon for people to have double surnames. Usually they are written with a hyphen and sometimes cause a lot of trouble to their owners. Where do they come from? The paths are different:

Someone adds a pseudonym to their native surname, this usually happens in a creative environment in order to be different from others and not to be confused with other actors. (For example, the wonderful actor Pankratov Cherny).

There are also historical ones. Two noble families, when they became related, united the surnames of the spouses (Musin-Pushkin).

Someone got a surname in an orphanage during the war years, thanks to the indefatigable imagination of educators.

Let's get acquainted with these unique words:

• Buffalo Cat
• Bit Ivan

• Kill-Joyful
• Shura-Bura

A person, of course, is not free to choose a surname. He gets it from his family. Some owners, having become adults, are in a hurry to change their surname that poisons their lives, others go through life with it, not complexing and proving in deed that it is not the name that makes a person, but quite the contrary, if he is a purposeful, self-sufficient person.

I work in a commercial bank and am engaged in maintaining registers of shareholders. To date, more than 70 thousand people have gathered in these registries (a small town!) - and we decided to collect ratings from all the cool names that come across to us, and then play the prize of the week, month, etc.

Just funny surnames like Popik, Tadpoles, Truffle and others are included only in the starting ratings, therefore I don’t give them here.

Well, here's what we have in the collection (I swear, everything is documented, I saw copies of the passport!).

Kakashkind, Blyatko, Chmyryuk, a woman with the surname Polovaya (an interesting question is: how is life, Polovaya?), an eccentric with a sonorous surname Beeliner (I wonder if they gave him a cell phone for free?), a man named Tampak (I really want to add, right?), worthy citizen Juda Shlemovich Prezerman (that’s right, according to Chekhov: there is no such thing that could not become a Jewish surname, but what a first name and patronymic!), the director of a reputable company by the name of Piskin (when he calls the office, everyone freaks out).

Well, now the first three (in ascending order) of the current month, I repeat - I have copies of passports!)

3) Alexander Nikolaevich Asshole (strongly, right?)

2) Leonid Naumovich Khuer (even stronger!) and

1st place - the hit of the season - a woman with the surname INTRALIGATOR (like an international crocodile).

We decided to study all 2.7 million subscribers of the Moscow telephone network and especially calculate such names.

The richest in obscene surnames was the letter "B".
In Moscow, one Blyabkin and nine Blyablins are toiling under the yoke of teasers. And even without the number of owners of such surnames as Blyaror, Blatnik and simply Blyakh. We express our sympathy to these people. And also to Blyakher, Blyakherova and all the Blyakhmans.

Against the background of these sufferers, one can only rejoice for the three families that proudly bear the surname Bobik. Or Bobinchik-Rabinovich.

And there are only two Nedrischevs in Moscow, but there is one more Sruchkin, four Zadnikovs and one Sukhozad.

Five assholes, respectively, five.
For every three Nadhullins, there is one Podkhullin.
Onanizev is present in two copies, Pupkin - in three, and Sivuho is also in two.

The letter "B" in the Russian alphabet can only compete with the letter "X", which begins with three Kherdvimovs, one Khernykh, one Hernes, one Kheresh and three Kherenkovs.

For some reason, the surname Alkashov is very unpopular with us - there are only two of them.

But five families bear the name Pedik!
They are joined by the citizens of Pedora and Pedyachaya, against whose background the owners of the surnames Shnurapet, Shabash, Zyuzya, Zaduyviter, Sivokobylenko, Sivokoz, Paltsapupa, Zababashkin, Durnopeiko, Narko, Shmal and Glyukin live very well.

We believe that one citizen Mudel and nine Mudorisovs were very unlucky.

But the fact that in Moscow there were three Good and even three Garny for one Bad, suggests that there are still more good people than bad ones.

And, finally, there are as many as 121 Sharikovs among us, of which P.P. only one.

Chainikovs -17 (it's good to introduce yourself when a traffic cop stops on the road).

And about politics. There are 39 Zyuganovs in Moscow, and four Yeltsins.
Plus varieties: Yeltsin - 1, Eltsin -2, Elson - 3.
Chernomyrdins - 31, Chernomordovs - 1, Chernomordikovs - 1, Chernomordins - 5, Lenins - 6, Krupskys - 36, Stalins - 3.

The Ivanovs are the most common in Moscow - 21,833 subscribers.
They are not followed at all by the Petrovs, as one might have assumed, but by the Kuznetsovs at all - 17440. The Petrovs are in third place - 9953, pushing the legitimate Sidorovs, who are also very numerous, from it.

Unusual 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 (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out 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! Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid Our official websites are: Love spell and its consequences - www.privorotway.ru Also our blogs:

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.

Slavic cool, unusual surnames:

• unwise;
• whiny;
• Wretched;
• Semirozum;
• Prusachok;
• Pyatizhopkin;
• Bobinchik, ave.

Funny surnames of people

People of different nationalities have original, interesting surnames. Many of them surprise and make you laugh until you have stomach cramps. It is unlikely that everyone who got funny surnames, first names or patronymics in the passport lives in harmony with them, because such people have to be mocked and ridiculed from others since childhood. Nevertheless, it is worth treating this with irony and humor, because there will always be a person who is even more unlucky, for example, Lyubov Koshek or Zakhar Zapadlovsky.

For VK for girls

Living with a dissonant surname is not very comfortable, so most girls tend to change or at least hide it from others. Young women choose beautiful, concise pseudonyms for social networks, only partially resembling a real surname. Thanks to this, discontent and shame disappear, but friends, nevertheless, easily recognize girls. What cool surnames for Vkontakte exist? Examples of successfully modified aliases:

• for Naumenko Ira - Naum Irina, Naira;
• for Prus Sveta - Lana Tarakanova, Lana Prus;
• for Anna Kuznetsova - Anna Blacksmith (literal translation into English);
• for Nastya Ivanova - Ivanna Nastina (replacement of FI).

What is the most important individual feature of each person? That's right - it was his people who began to call each other in ancient times, but the surnames appeared relatively recently. How were they formed? By what principle? Who invented them? Of particular interest is the question of who created the funny surnames. Or have they become such only now, and previously sounded quite normal? We will try to find answers to these and other questions today. It is quite possible that, considering this topic, we will laugh heartily!

in Russia

Different peoples of the world at different times formed the main distinctive features of each person. In Russia, for example, surnames began to appear in the XII-XIII century, but in Europe they began to spread much earlier.

The first to introduce such a concept as a “surname” into use in Russia was Peter I. Before that, people called each other. They were also called “reklo” and “name”. In the decrees of the king regarding the census of the population of a certain area, it was stipulated that all residents should be recorded “by name with fathers and with nicknames”, which meant first name, last name and patronymic.

The first surnames in Russia were received by princes, nobility and boyars in the XIV-XV centuries. Basically, they came from the names of their patrimonial estates: Kolomensky, Zvenigorodsky, Tver, etc.

Later (in the 17th-19th centuries), servicemen and merchants of the Russian land began to be called surnames. Their surnames also came from geographical names. But not from the possessions that they disposed of, but from the localities from which they were born: Rostovtsev, Moskvichev, Astrakhantsev, Bryantsev, etc. As you can see, the suffixes of the surnames of merchants differ from the suffixes of the surnames of princes. According to them, modern residents with similar surnames can easily determine which lands their ancestors came from.

In the 19th century, surnames of people close to the church began to form in Russia. Many of them were artificially created from various words of foreign origin. A significant group of such surnames is formed from the names of church holidays and the churches themselves: Assumption, Rozhdestvensky, Epiphany and others.

As for the peasants, their surnames, in fact, reflected their street nicknames. Sometimes they changed. In one family in one generation there could be several surnames at once.

Many peasants of Russia received their "main names" only after the October Revolution, before that they were nameless.

Modern surnames

Currently, every inhabitant of the planet Earth should have a surname (with rare exceptions). Most Russian surnames originated from patronymics, but not by adding the suffixes -ovich, -ich, -inich, etc., but in the form of the so-called semi-patronymic with the suffixes -in, -ov. For example, the son of Peter is Petrov's son (the resulting surname is Petrov), the son of Nikita is Nikitin's son (the surname is Nikitin).

Funny surnames: whose fantasy is it?

But until now, scientists cannot determine the etymology of such surnames as Danilin and Danilov, Voronin and Voronov (with suffixes -ov and -in). The same applies to the question of how and by whom funny surnames were invented. Why do some people say their name with their heads held high, while others blush when introduced in public? Indeed, very funny surnames can sometimes cause self-doubt of their owners, a real obstacle to success. Fortunately, today the legislation allows anyone who wants to change their name to a more attractive one. But then a person becomes part of the gray mass and loses his amazing uniqueness. How to be? Do funny surnames interfere with life? Let's try to figure it out.

Some enthusiasts for the sake of a good mood (their own and other people) create the ratings "The funniest surnames in Russia." The organizers of such actions ask the inhabitants of our country to send real stories of people who have come across one or another original surname in their lives.
