Rules for the formation of patronymics in Russian. General information about patronymics

Patronymic - a form of naming a person by his father, mandatory for the official identification of personality, is common among Slavic peoples , countries former USSR. Patronymic at this stage is used in all documents that determine the position of the individual, as well as in official decrees on awarding, in orders for personnel appointments, in voter lists, often in naming third parties.

The use of patronymics in the sphere of informal communication is very limited, patronymics are rarely used by people close to each other and relatives. It is worth noting that when drawing up documents, the key identifier is the surname, therefore the middle name and first name can be indicated in the form of initials, while the surname is always indicated in full.

If we evaluate the development of practice patronymics V Slavic culture, then first of all it is necessary to consider this issue in the context of Russian culture, because it is she who for a long time, however, as now, remained dominant among Slavic cultures.

It is important to note that the development and strengthening of the use of patronymics is associated with the evolution of public and public relations. When the formation of Russian society was only gaining momentum, the identification of a person in society had a completely different look than now, various methods were widely used. nicknames.

Nicknames were related primarily to some distinctive features from the carrier, thus they emphasized its originality and uniqueness. It is important to note that not all nicknames were pleasant for their bearer, because they were not chosen by him, but by other people.


It would be appropriate to note individual milestones in the development of the use of patronymics, this is primarily dofamilial, that is, until the XVII-XVIII centuries, and modern, mainly XIX-XX centuries. social significance Russian patronymics in the pre-family period was more noticeable. With the advent of surnames, patronymics began to carry other functions, became in some way a class indicator.

For quite a long time, the right to have a patronymic belonged exclusively to representatives of the nobility and the ruling elite of society. In addition, the right to be called by patronymic could be obtained by law, but in practice this was not very common. Only since 1692 did the royal decree allow “The names of clerks in boyar books and lists are now and continue to be written as before and according to this decree of their Great Sovereigns from the patronymic”.

With acceptance Christian faith, the names of saints became widespread, which caused the appearance of many people with the same names. In order to retain the ability to be identified by name, people began to use various nicknames more widely.

Due to the situation described above full name no longer carried such information about the connection of a person with his family. The use of patronymics has become milestone, this made it possible to maintain the accuracy of face identification, while at the same time giving the full name more accurate information about the person's ancestral relationship. In addition, it is important to pay attention to the fact that not all patronymics reflected a kinship relationship, because in some cases, when adopting a child, the patronymic of the new adoptive parent was given.

From the 18th century, Catherine II established clear standards use of patronymics for different class groups. Thus, the use of patronymics for lower classes was legally limited.

Years later, among peasants and among servants, the use of patronymics began to perform the function of an age characteristic. In Russian literature of the 18th-19th centuries, there are many examples of naming such persons with only one patronymic: the elderly nanny Eremeevna in D.I. A. Bunina. In the same environment of the nobility, starting from the second half of XVIII V. referring to a person only by patronymic was considered a sign of bad taste.

In the 19th century, after the main function of the official personification of a person was assigned to the surname, it decreased social role patronymic. As in the West, in Russia, the designation of the title, rank, position and surname, less often the name and surname, becomes the norm in the official recording of a person. The use of initials instead of the full name and patronymic has become widespread. Only at the end of the century in identity documents, the record of the patronymic becomes mandatory. This tradition has survived to this day.


The character of a person is influenced by many different factors, including his patronymic. People with the same patronymic behave in some situations similarly. According to some scientists, the patronymic contains genetic information inherent in nature itself, this is a kind of gene code that is passed down from generation to generation. The patronymic expresses the belonging of a person to a certain genus and gives him an additional name - the name of the father.

Middle name complements psychological picture of a person's name, diversifies it with new colors. The patronymic, as it were, complements the existing portrait. It changes it radically, and refines it, makes it softer or sharpens some of the edges, makes them more obvious.

The conducted studies allow us to conclude that the owners of coarser patronymics, firm articulation have a life not as easy as their namesakes with softer, calmer patronymics. The nature of the owners of less rude patronymics is much more accommodating.

Patronymic (also "patronymic" - in specialized literature) - part of the generic name, which is assigned to the child by the name of the father. Variations of patronymic names can connect their carriers with more distant ancestors- grandfathers, great-grandfathers, etc.
In the pre-family period, naming by name and patronymic served the purpose of more accurate identification of a person, that is, it performed the same social function as modern surnames.
For peoples who have more than one name in use, the function of patronymics, as the keepers of information about the closest ancestors (fathers, grandfathers and great-grandfathers), is traditionally carried by middle names, but this patronymic function of theirs is not rigidly fixed.
Patronymic - patronymic, an indication of the name of the father. It has the ending - (c) ich, - (c) on; in ancient times also -ov, -in similarly modern surnames(in the Bulgarian language this has been preserved). The patronymic as part of the nominal formula performed a triple function: it supplemented the name, distinguishing its owner (in addition to the surname) from the namesake, clarified kinship in the family circle (father - son) and expressed respect (a form of politeness).
However, patronymic forms in -ov / -ev were used only in clerical speech, in official documents. In informal situations, in everyday life, Russian people called each other by their first names and patronymics in the form that is familiar to us now: the magnificence on -ovich, -evich, -ovna, -evna, -ich, -inichna was not limited. Sometimes it was even used instead of a name (as sometimes it is now), when the speaker wanted to emphasize special respect for a person, to show a shade of affection, love.

Middle name formation

Modification of the form of the father's name in the patronymic may occur different ways. For example, if in Russian a suffix is ​​used to form a patronymic, then, for example, in the Gaelic language it is a prefix method. Famous Irish and Scottish surnames, beginning with the particle "Poppy", were originally patronymics: "Poppy Arthur" = "son of Arthur".

Patronymics among different peoples

The use of patronymics in one form or another is characteristic of many cultures, but is most characteristic among those peoples whose surnames have appeared quite recently, or are completely absent as a class. Today they are widely used in Arabic, Icelandic, East Slavic and Bulgarian.

Patronymic names of the Semitic peoples

In Arabic, the particle “ibn” is used to designate patronymics, meaning literally “son”: “ibn Muhammad” = “son of Muhammad”.
The same principle was used by other Semitic peoples. For example, among the Jews, patronymics were formed with the help of the particle “ben” or “bar”, which in translation from Hebrew and Aramaic, respectively, also means “son”. For example, "Shlomo ben David" - "Shlomo (Solomon) son of David", "Shimon bar Yochai" - "Shimon son of Yochai".

Scandinavian patronymics

In the Old Norse language and its living successor, Icelandic, surnames are traditionally not given, and their final place in the trio traditional for Western Christians “First name, godname, last name” is occupied by patronymics: “Thorvardsson”, which sounds like a surname, in , for example, in Swedish, in Icelandic is the patronymic "Torvardovic"; if the hypothetical Olaf Torvardsson has a son, Kari, then he is called (without a godname) Kari Olafsson. Women's patronymics are formed with the addition of "dottir" (daughter) to the genitive declension of the name: for example, Svensdottir ("Svena's daughter"), Snorradottir ("Snorri's daughter", the father's name is Snorri).
In addition to patronymics given by the father, matronyms also existed in Scandinavia.

Bulgarian patronymics

In Bulgarian, patronymics are formed by adding the suffix -ov to the name of the father, that is, in a way that was also used in Russia. For example, “Georgi Ivanov Ivanov” - “George the son of Ivan Ivanov”, “Ivayla Todorova Stoyanov” - “Ivayla daughter of Todor Stoyanov”.

Chechen patronymics

Among Chechens, the patronymic precedes the name - Khamidan Vakha, Vakha Khamidanovich - this would sound in Russian.

Mari patronymics

IN pre-Christian era the anthroponymic model of the Mari was binomial. It included the father's name (patronymic), which comes first in the genitive case, and a proper name, for example: Izergen Ipay, Shemvuin Vasliy, Lapkasyn Korak.

Russian patronymics

Russian patronymics began to be used very early; the first mention of this refers to 945. However, until the 13th century, the frequency of using patronymics was low.
The form of male patronymic in modern Russian with the ending in "-vich" goes back to patronymics old Russian princes and the nobility of Muscovite Rus'; "mean people" had no right to use such patronymics.
Starting from the 15th century, naming with “-vich” was considered a special privilege, such a right was bestowed on ignoble people personally by the king and for special merits. So, in 1610, Tsar Vasily Shuisky, in gratitude for the assistance of the Stroganov merchants in annexing the Urals and Siberia to the Moscow state, ordered Maxim and Nikita Stroganov, their descendants and the descendants of Semyon (Ioannikievych) Stroganov to write with "-vich" and bestowed a special title " eminent people." IN XVII century The Stroganovs were the only merchant's surname who held this title.
Patronymic names of "vile", that is, ignoble people, in Russia were originally formed as short form possessive adjective from the corresponding name, for example: "Ivan son of Petrov" or, in a later version, "Ivan Petrov"; "Fyodor son Lukin" - "Fyodor Lukin".
It is noteworthy that in modern Russian the female patronymic is formed in two ways, and both of them go back in form to the patronymics of commoners:

  • Patronymics formed from male names ending in a consonant are formed by translating the base name into a short form of a possessive adjective with the addition of the ending “-on” to it: Boris - Borisov - Borisovna, Andrey - Andreev - Andreevna.
  • Patronymic names formed from male names ending in a vowel are formed by translating the base name into a short form of a possessive adjective with the addition of the ending “-ichna” to it: Luka - Lukin - Lukinichna, Foma - Fomin - Fominichna. As is often the case in Russian, this rule has exceptions: for example, Zosima - Zosimin, but Zosimovna, Nikita - Nikitin, but Nikitichna, Savva - Savvin, but Savvichna. It seems that the criterion here is the pronunciation, the euphony of the patronymic: “Zosiminichna”, “Nikitinichna” or “Savvinichna” clearly cut the ear.

The method of formation of Ukrainian and Belarusian patronymics almost does not differ from Russian ones.
Most modern Russian surnames are of patronymic origin, that is, they come from patronymics. Both in Russian and in other Slavic languages because of morphological features language female surnames, as a rule, differ in form from men's.

Somehow a conversation about patronymics came up and they expressed the idea that only we and some other similar Slavic peoples have them. I thought, and I really, well, Ukrainians, Belarusians, etc. Maybe some Slovaks, nothing more came to mind. And where else in the world will you meet the Name, Surname and Patronymic? Do you remember?

But it turns out it's not so simple...

In general, in the pre-family period, naming by name and patronymic served the purposes of more accurate identification of a person, that is, it performed the same social function as modern surnames.

The use of patronymics in one form or another is characteristic of many cultures, but is most characteristic among those peoples whose surnames have appeared quite recently, or are completely absent as a class. Today they are widely used in Arabic, Icelandic, Mongolian, East Slavic and Bulgarian languages.

The Greeks both ancient and modern, the patronymic is the name of the father in the genitive case. The ancient Greeks in Everyday life only an individual name was used, but a patronymic was also used for official documents. So, the full name of Demosthenes is Demosthenes Demosthenus Paanieus, that is, Demosthenes, the son of Demosthenes from the phylum Peania.

The modern Greeks, like the ancient Greeks, have a patronymic between the given name and surname. In Greece married woman changes patronymic to husband's patronymic. The Soviet Greeks had patronymics on the same principle as the Bulgarians. For example, Alexander Nikos Kandaraki. In some places in Greece, the name and patronymic are pronounced together. For example, literary name Georgios Constantinou Papadas household sphere sounds like Giorgos Kosta Papadas, and the name and patronymic in continuous pronunciation as Giorgokosta.

In Norman patronymics were used in the form fils de Gérald ("son of Gerald"). From this form many modern English surnames, starting with fitz.

in Arabic to designate patronymics for men, the particle ibn is used, meaning literally son (ibn Muhammad = son of Muhammad). In women, patronymics are used much less frequently; in this case, the particle bandage, literally daughter, is placed before the name of the father.

The same principle was used by other Semitic peoples. For example, among the Jews, patronymics were formed with the particle ben or bar, which in translation from Hebrew and Aramaic, respectively, also means son. For example, Shlomo ben David - Shlomo (Solomon) son of David, Shimon bar Yochai - Shimon son of Yochai.


In Armenian
patronymics are formed by adding the suffix -i to the name of the father. For example, if a person's name is Armen, then the patronymic of his children will be Armeni. The Armenian suffix "and" means belonging to someone or something. Roots of many Armenian surnames originated from the names of the founders of the clans, and, therefore, they were once patronymics.

In everyday communication, Armenian patronymics are usually not used.

In Old Norse and its living heir, the Icelandic language, people traditionally do not have surnames, their place is occupied by patronymics. Icelandic law explicitly forbids taking surnames: "No one should take a surname in our country."

Male Icelandic patronymics are formed by adding -son [sleep] (son) to the genitive case of the name, female - with the addition of -dóttir [dottir] (daughter): for example, Jónsson and Jónsdottir (son of Jón, daughter of Jón), Snorrason and Snorradouttir (son of Snorri , daughter of Snorri, father's name is Snorri).

Occasionally, there is a construction of two patronymics formed from the name of the father and the name of the grandfather (moreover, the second patronymic appears in the genitive case), for example, Jón Þórsson Bjarnarsonar - lit. Jón, son of Thor, son of Bjarni.

In Bulgarian patronymics are formed by adding the suffix -ov or -ev to the name of the father, that is, in a way that also existed in Russia. For example Georgi Ivanov Ivanov - Georgi son of Ivan Ivanov, Ivayla Todorova Stoyanova - Ivayla daughter of Todor Stoyanov.

The Vainakhs(Chechens and Ingush) patronymic precedes the name - Khamidan Vakha, Vakha Khamidovich - this would sound in Russian.

Mongolian patronymic represents the name of the father in the genitive case, formed by adding the suffixes -yn or -in. The main identifier of a person in everyday life is a personal name, while the patronymic appears primarily in official documents and the media. On the letter, the patronymic, and not the name, is reduced to the initial: for example, Nambaryn Enkhbayar - N. Enkhbayar. IN last years in the media, especially those oriented to foreign audiences, there has been a tendency to write the name of the father without suffixes genitive and sometimes after a personal name in the manner of a Western surname, for example, Mөnkh-Erdenegiin Tөgöldöp - Mönkh-Erdene Tögöldör.

Turkic patronymics are formed using the words ogly (uly, uulu) for sons and kyzy (gyzy) for daughters (the words son and daughter in the possessive form of 3 persons singular). For example, the children of Azerbaijani Salim named Mammad and Leyla will be called Mammad Salim-ogly and Leyla Salim-kyzy.

In the Netherlands patronymics existed in the past and are still used unofficially among the Frisians. Female patronymics were formed with the help of -dochter (daughter), male - with the help of -zoon (son), in the abbreviated form -sz or -s. For example, full name famous composer was Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, Rembrandt's full name was Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.

For people of humble origin, the surname could be absent, and in such cases the patronymic partially played the role of a surname and made it possible to distinguish people. So, the famous navigator Willem Barents did not have a last name, Barents (Barents, Barentsz) or Barentszon (Barentszoon) - a patronymic, meaning the son of Barent.

Over time, when the entire population of Holland acquired surnames, patronymics practically fell into disuse.

But it seems to me that all these examples are not quite the patronymics that are in Russia. These are either not used designs, or not full-fledged prefixes at all. Well, where else will you hear Ivanov Ivan Ivanovich and Sidorov Alexei Petrovich, and without fail.

Russian patronymics began to be used very early; the first mention of this refers to 945. However, until the 13th century, the frequency of using patronymics was low.

The form of male patronymics in modern Russian with the ending in -ovich (after the bases in the soft consonant -evich) goes back to the patronymics of the Old Russian princes and nobility of Moscow Rus'; vile people had no right to use such patronymics.

Starting from the 16th century, naming with -ovich was considered a special privilege, such a right was granted to ignoble people personally by the king and for special merits. So, in 1610, Tsar Vasily Shuisky, in gratitude for the assistance of the Stroganov merchants in joining the Urals and Siberia to the Muscovite state, ordered Maxim and Nikita Stroganov, their descendants and the descendants of Semyon (Ioannikievych) Stroganov to write with -vich and bestowed a special title of eminent people. In the 17th century, the Stroganovs were the only merchant family to have this title.

Patronymic names of vile, that is, ignoble people, in Russia were originally formed as a short form of a possessive adjective from the corresponding name, for example: Ivan Petrov son or, in a later version, Ivan Petrov; Fedor Lukin son - Fedor Lukin. At a certain point, the patronymic could become a hereditary surname, so the son of Ivan Petrov was called Vasily Ivanov, the son of Petrov, his grandson was Nikolai Vasilyev, the son of Petrov, etc.

However, patronymic forms in -ov / -ev were used only in clerical speech, in official documents. In informal situations, in everyday life, Russian people called each other by their first names and patronymics in the form that is familiar to us now: the magnificence on -ovich, -evich, -ovna, -evna, -ich, -ichna, -inichna is not limited. Sometimes it was even used instead of a name (as sometimes it is now), when the speaker wanted to emphasize special respect for a person, to show a shade of affection, love.

According to Russian rules, patronymics are always formed from male name- on behalf of the father. However, several cases are known when the patronymic was formed on behalf of the mother: the son of the Galician prince Yaroslav Osmomysl (c. 1130-1187) and his mistress Nastasya was popularly nicknamed Oleg Nastasevich. Later he inherited the Galician throne.

In addition, in Russia, illegitimate children of male nobles and female commoners (servants, serfs ...) often received a surname formed from the mother's name (Katerinenko, Mashin, Nadezhdin ...) instead of surnames formed from patronymics.

And about the first photo in the post: Sergey M., a resident of Serov, is now respectfully called Vero - Viktorovich. He got the authorities to supplement his patronymic with the name of his mother. Sergei became not Sergei Viktorovich, but Sergei Vero - Viktorovich. So it is written in the passport and in his other documents.

What is the correct middle name for Nikita?

Paragraph 336 http://rusgram.narod.ru/328-379.html do not be too lazy to read and understand 🙂 Good luck to you and your children! I also have a son, Nikita, and my sister was very unhappy that I called it that because of the middle name. And I love old Russian names, I wanted a hero. As a result, she gave birth to two heroes 4160 and 4640 grams. And you need to follow what is written in the passport, because. passport officers are the most ordinary, often not very literate people, whatever you tell them they will write. Here, the same Nikita Khrushchev has one son named Nikitich, and the other Nikitovich 🙂 (it is written on Wikipedia).

Well, of course, Nikitich / Nikitichna is correct, but I think that in our time, as you write down, it will be correct. Eh, my son Nikita said that the children would be Nikitovichi. Dunce

I do not like this name precisely because of the wonderful patronymic. Nikitishna, Ilyinishna. some farm.

why collective farm. princely patronymics

I'm writing about my associations.

What is the correct middle name from the name Nikita: Nikitich or Nikitovich?

I have such. And with the princes, if we talk about them - Dmitrievich, Ioannovich, Igorevich, Vladimirovich, all sorts of Slavovichi. To be honest, maybe I have poor knowledge of the history of school curriculum, but I can’t remember a single prince Nikita or Ilya.

You don't know Russian. Ilyich. Nikitich in general. Or Lenin was also Vladimir Ilyinish. Sounds like yours. And Dobrynya Nikitich from Russian fairy tales. And Nikita Ilyich Tolstoy. Horror illiterate

You are just the illiterate! the girl wrote about the female patronymic, which will sound like Nikitichna, Ilyinichna, and pronounced NikitiShna, IlyiniShna (Wikipedia).

Nikitich or Nikitovich

Surname(in specialized literature also patronymic ) - part of the generic name, which is assigned to the child by the name of the father. Variations of patronymic names can also connect their carriers with more distant ancestors - grandfathers, great-grandfathers, etc.

In the pre-family period, naming by name and patronymic served the purposes of more accurate identification of a person, that is, it performed the same social function as modern surnames.

Patronymic - patronymic, an indication of the name of the father. In modern Russian, it has the ending -ovich/-evich/-ich, -ovna/-evna/-ichna/-inichna; also in antiquity -ov/-ev/-in, -ova/-eva/-ina similar to modern surnames (this is preserved in the Bulgarian language). The patronymic as part of the nominal formula performs a triple function: it complements the name, distinguishing its owner (in addition to the surname) from the namesake, clarifies kinship in the family circle (father - son) and expresses respect (a form of politeness).

Middle name formation

Modification of the form of the father's name in the patronymic can occur in different ways. If in Russian the suffixal method is used to form a patronymic, then, for example, in the Gaelic language it is expressed analytically. Famous Irish and Scottish surnames that begin with particle Poppy, were originally patronymics: "Mac Dhòmhnaill" (nominative + genitive) - the son of a man named Dòmhnall.

Patronymics among different peoples

The use of patronymics in one form or another is characteristic of many cultures, but is most characteristic among those peoples whose surnames have appeared quite recently, or are completely absent as a class. Today they are widely used in Arabic, Icelandic, Mongolian, East Slavic and Bulgarian.

Greek patronymics

Among the Greeks, both ancient and modern, the patronymic is the name of the father in the genitive case.

Among the ancient Greeks, only an individual name was used in everyday life, but patronymics were also used for official documents. So, the full name of Demosthenes is Demosthenes Demosthenus Paanieus (ancient Greek. Δημοσθένης Δημοσθένους Παιανιεύς ), that is, Demosthenes son of Demosthenes from the phylum Paenia.

patronymics vile, that is, ignoble people, in Russia were originally formed as a short form of a possessive adjective from the corresponding name, for example: Ivan Petrov son or, in a later version, Ivan Petrov; Fyodor Lukin son - Fedor Lukin. At some point, the patronymic could become a hereditary surname, so the son Ivan Petrov was called Vasily Ivanov son of Petrov, his grandson Nikolai Vasilyev son of Petrov etc.

However, patronymic forms on -ov/-ev were used only in clerical speech, in official documents. In informal situations, in everyday life, Russian people called each other by their first names and patronymics in the form that is familiar to us now: -ovich, -evich, -ovna, -evna, -ich, -ichna, -inichna was not limited. Sometimes it was even used instead of a name (as sometimes it is now), when the speaker wanted to emphasize special respect for a person, to show a shade of affection, love.

In modern Russian, patronymic is formed in two ways:

  • Patronymics formed from male names of the second declension are formed by adding suffixes to the base -ovich/-ovna, -evich/-evna: Roman - Roman ovic, Nikolay - Nikola evich; at the same time, names ending in -y can change it to -ь-: Vitaly - Vital yevich; but: Dmitry - Dmitry ievich.
  • Patronymics of men, formed from male names of the first declension, are formed by adding a suffix to the stem -ich or -ovich: Kuzma - Kuzm ich, Luca - Bow ich, Nikita - Nikita ich(option - Nikit ovic), Iona - Ion ovic.
  • Patronymics of women, formed from male names of the first declension, are formed by adding a suffix to the stem -ichna if the ending was unstressed,
    And -inichna if the stress fell on the ending: Nikita A- Nikit ichna(option - Nikit ram), but Luk A- Onion initial.
    However, Jonah - Jonah ram.

Occasionally, there is a construction of two patronymics formed from the name of the father and the name of the grandfather (moreover, the second patronymic appears in the genitive case), for example, Jón Þórsson Bjarnarsonar - lit. Jón, son of Thor, son of Bjarni.

In addition to patronymics given by the father, matronyms also existed in Scandinavia. In Sweden, patronymic names were only abolished in 1966.

  • Sven II Estridsen (1020-1074?), King of Denmark - patronymic only.
  • Lennart Torstensson (1603-1651), field marshal of Sweden - patronymic only, a late example for the nobility.
  • Jacob Pontusson Delagardie (1583-1652), Field Marshal of Sweden - surname and patronymic.

Bulgarian patronymics

In the Bulgarian language, patronymics are formed by adding the suffix -ov or -ev to the name of the father, that is, in a way that also existed in Russia. For example Georgi Ivanov Ivanov - Georgi son of Ivan Ivanov, Ivayla Todorova Stoyanova - Ivayla daughter of Todor Stoyanov.

Vainakh patronymics

The Vainakhs (Chechens and Ingush) have a patronymic that precedes the name - Khamidan Vakha, Vakha Khamidovich - this would sound in Russian.

Mari patronymics

In the pre-Christian era, the anthroponymic model of the Mari was two-term. It included the father's name (patronymic), which comes first in the genitive case, and a proper name, for example: Izergen Ipay, Shemvuin Vasliy, Lapkasyn Korak.

Mongolian patronymics

Mongolian patronymic is the name of the father in the genitive case, formed by adding suffixes -yn or -in. The main identifier of a person in everyday life is a personal name, while the patronymic appears primarily in official documents and the media. On the letter, the patronymic, and not the name, is reduced to the initial: for example, Nambaryn Enkhbayar - N. Enkhbayar. In recent years, in the media, especially those oriented to foreign audiences, there has been a tendency to write the father's name without genitive suffixes and sometimes after the personal name in the manner of a Western surname, for example, Monkh-Erdenegiin Tөgөldөp - Mөnkh-Erdene Төgөldөr.

Turkic patronymics

Formed with words ogly (uly, uulu) for sons and kyzy (gizi) for daughters (words son And daughter (girl) in the possessive form 3 person singular). For example, the children of Azerbaijani Salim named Mammad and Leyla will be called Mammad Salim-ogly and Leyla Salim-kyzy. For Turkic peoples The USSR - Azerbaijanis and Kazakhs - allowed such a recording of patronymics in metrics (regardless of whether they lived in their union republics or outside them). In the 1990s, there was a mass trend of naming newborns in this way [ ] . Due to some inconvenience (confusion with first names, last names, patronymics when processing documents in Russia), the popularity of such first names (without a last name) has recently decreased significantly [ ] . In Turkic patronymics, the words "ogly" and "kyzy" are elements that form a patronymic, like the Russian ones -ovich, evich, -ovna, -evna. Therefore, according to the rules of abbreviations to initials given element not included in the abbreviation (example: Ibragimov Ali Huseyn-ogly - abbreviated to initials as Ibragimov A.G.).

In the Netherlands

In the Netherlands, patronymics existed in the past and are still used informally among the Frisians. Female patronymics were formed with the help of -dochter (daughter), male - with the help of -zoon (son), in the abbreviated form -sz or -s. For example, the full name of the famous composer was Jan Pieterszoon Sweelinck, the full name of Rembrandt was Rembrandt Harmenszoon van Rijn.

For people of humble origin, the surname could be absent, and in such cases the patronymic partially played the role of a surname and made it possible to distinguish people. So, the famous navigator Willem Barents did not have a surname, Barents (Barents, Barentsz) or Barentszon (Barentszoon) - a patronymic, meaning son of Barent.

Over time, when the entire population of Holland acquired surnames, patronymics practically fell into disuse.

In the countries of the Iberian Peninsula

In the countries of the Iberian Peninsula (Castile, León, Navarre, Aragon and Portugal), patronymics existed in the Middle Ages. They were formed using the suffix -ez (with variants -oz, -iz, etc., in Portugal also -es) of unknown origin. The earliest use of patronymics is noted among the king of Navarre
