Funny names of people. Very funny surnames

What is the most important individual characteristic of each person? That's right - this is his name and surname. Names people began to call each other back in ancient times, but the names appeared relatively recently. How did they form? By what principle? Who invented them? Particularly interesting is the question of who created funny surnames. Or they were only now, and earlier they sounded quite usual? These and other questions we will try to find answers today. It is possible that, considering this topic, and we laugh from the heart!

The history of the origin of surnames in Russia

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

The first to introduce such a notion as "family name" in Russia was Peter I. Before that, people called each other nicknames, nicknames. They were also called "reklo" and "name". In the decrees of the tsar concerning the census of a certain locality it was stipulated that all residents should be recorded "by name with fathers and with nicknames", which meant name, surname and patronymic.

The first names in Russia were princes, nobles and boyars in the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. In general, they resembled the names of their patrimonial possessions: Kolomna, Zvenigorod, Tver, etc.

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

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

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

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

Modern surnames

Currently, the surname should be for every inhabitant of the planet Earth (with rare exception). Most Russian surnames originated from patrimonies, but not with the addition of suffixes -ovich, -ich, -inich, etc., but in the form of the so-called half-name with suffixes -in, -o. For example, Peter's son Petrov's son (the last name was Petrov), Nikita's son Nikitin's son (surname Nikitin).

Funny surnames: whose imagination is the matter?

But so far, scientists can not determine the etymology of such names as Danilin and Danilov, Voronin and Voronov (with the suffixes -ov and -in). The same concerns the question of how and by whom the funny names were invented. Why do some people pronounce their name with their head held high, while others blush when they are presented publicly? Indeed, very funny surnames can sometimes cause uncertainty in themselves of their owners, a real hindrance to success. Fortunately, today the legislation allows everyone to change their name to a more attractive one. But then a person becomes a part of the gray mass and loses its amazing uniqueness. How to be? Do the funny names interfere? Let's try to figure it out.
