Famous surnames

Surname

The word "surname" means: family or family name. The origins of Russian surnames should be sought in old, pre-Petrine Russia. Previously, there were no surnames — the person had a name given to him at baptism. The name of the father (patronymic) was necessarily supposed to be attached to the name — it was impossible to be "just Ivan" (this was how illegitimate people who did not know their father presented themselves), when meeting they had to say: "Ivan son of Petr" (this was how commoners presented themselves) or "Ivan Ivanovich" (nobility). In addition to the Christian name, various nicknames were common: Pervak (the first child in the family), Meek, Tretyak (the third child in the family), Bes, Nekras (ugly), Suvorov (harsh), Hare, Wolf, Goat, Spider, etc. Even priests had such nicknames. Sometimes a person was called by someone else’s name, so as not to be jinxed. It happened that everyone knew the man as Dmitry. After his death, it turned out that he was not Dmitry, but Fedor.

Three centuries ago, a person could be listed in documents that included: baptismal name; father’s name, nickname or profession; own nickname; place of birth; nationality; profession or position. This is how most Russian surnames were formed.

The first Russian settlers in Siberia are recorded under the name and nickname, for example, Ivan Durynya, Istoma Bes, Leva Redikorets. Nicknames gave the basis to surnames. In addition, Siberian surnames were formed from words from the language of the indigenous population: Khanty and Mansi, Siberian Tatars. Peasants, living in ancestral nests, often had one surname for the whole village: Mameevs, Kuimovs, Sozonovs and others. When moving to cities (for a time or permanent residence), peasants "brought" surnames with them, and now, communicating with a resident of the city, you can understand where his ancestors came from.

In Soviet times, registry office employees carefully ensured that a person’s last name, first name and patronymic were recorded in documents, while the last name always came first. And now surnames are of great importance to people.

The Kolmakovs

The Kolmakovs came to the Siberian lands from the Ural Old Believer monasteries near the city of Nevyansk. They settled initially in the village of Shestakov, which is not far from the modern city of Zavodoukovsk. In 1844, the Kolmakovs bought from the daughter of the late Lieutenant General Semyon Lukyanovich Bogdanov "… 53 tithes of 154 fathoms of land" and built a loan on it. The Zaimka, built by Vasily Kornilevich, served as a home for many generations of the Kolmakovs.

Vasily Vasilyevich Kolmakov is considered the most prominent and colorful figure of this dynasty. He wore a long black caftan (as is customary among Old Believers). And he was not just an Old Believer, but was considered a pillar of the local Old Believer society.

Local peasants considered it lucky to work on his loan, since the employee was entitled to an apartment and lifting for the farm, and the purchase of a cow. At the same time, Vasily Vasilyevich did not require any receipts, but there was one condition — if you want to work, go into a split. It must be said that his father Vasily Kornilevich’s schismatic faith did not prevent him from making his fortune by "… entangling his fellow countrymen with extortion, debts and workings …".

The Kolmakovs were engaged in flour and leather production, soap making, oil heating, gingerbread business.

The company’s offices were in Irbit, Tara, Tobolsk, Omsk, etc. The main office was located in Tyumen. The shops of merchant Pyotr Kolokolnikov were located on the ground floor of the house. The Kolmakovs also gave their warehouse to him. Trade and friendly ties should be strengthened. The Kolmakovs had their own store next to the house.

Kiryak Kolmakov, the elder brother, was not only a businessman, but also, after studying in Moscow, became a scientist, an agronomist and managing director of the Kolmakov Brothers partnership. He built a mill on the ancestral zaimka, on the Uk River. It was a large-scale mechanized production for that time.

His brother Avksentiy also took an active part in this project, as well as in the construction of the national elevator. Kiryak Stepanovich died in Omsk after the revolution, and the fate of Avksentiy is tragic. He was found hacked to death with an axe in the doorway of an outhouse. The apartment where he lived was looted. It happened in 1918. The merchant’s son led a rather dissolute lifestyle, so the story remained unsolved. It is known that in his youth he dishonored a girl from the Old Believers of the Loshkarev family, promising to marry her, and then abandoned her.

Nenets surnames

The history of the Nenets clans in Yamal began about 300 years ago. The first reliable information on the ancestral composition of the Nenets is contained in the "Book of Obdorskaya Samoedi" in 1695. Initially, the Nenets family in Yamal was represented by Vanuito, then Yaptik, Yar and others joined them. In the 30s of the XX century, small families were recorded in Yamal, which gave rise to modern surnames: Lamdo, Nerkagi, Nyarui, Salinder, Khudi, Tusida, Tibichi, Yaptik, Yar, Yadne, etc. and as isolated cases of Pyak, Serashov. In the Purovsky district along the Pur River, Nenets camps are located in the taiga zone, in this territory, south of Tarko – Sale, the Pyak family of forest Nenets has long lived. The Aivacedo family chose the places downstream of the Pur River.

In the village of Samburg and the nearby tundra zone, almost all of the above generic surnames are present, but initially the genera Segoy and Nyach appeared on this territory. They are considered the ancestors of Samburg as a settlement. Gradually, Ader from the Krasnoyarsk region, Vanuito from the Gydan tundra, Yadne, Yaptik from the Yamal Peninsula, Pyak from the current village of Urengoy joined them.

Below are some Nenets surnames:

Adair – a resident of the island
Aivacedo – without a head (leader)
Vanuito – a snag
Thief – brushes on deer paws
Lambay – crooked horns
Lamdo – low
Lodoseda – translated means "without shoulders"

Mansi surnames

Mansi surnames

Before his baptism, Mansi had no personal names and surnames. In small villages, everyone knew each other and addressed their neighbors by degree of kinship or age. When communicating, the words "comrade" (teham), "human being", "man" (hom, ham, hum), "girlfriend" (tyne), "husband" (oik), "wife" (equa), "friend" (yurt), etc. were used. In addition, the residents had nicknames, from which surnames were later formed, for example, Ovesov – ovylsov ("the first star"), Rombadeev – rampanti ("in a hurry").

Since Mansi had no personal names, at baptism everyone was given not only a surname, but a first name. All Mansi personal names come from adapted Christian names (Okup – Agafya, Tatia – Tatiana, Yuvan – Ivan, Yehyr – Egor, etc.). Those who did not have nicknames were given Russian surnames by priests or yasak collectors, for example, Kachanov. Many surnames were formed from the combination of two words: Kaslipaev – from kasli ("nail"), pae ("thumb"); Anemkhurov – from anem/anen ("jewelry having"), hurp ("similar"); Voyuptin – from voyup ("taker"), tin/tyn ("payment"); Saynakhov (Soynakhov) – from soy/sovi ("curve"), nah/nak ("joint"); Taratov – from tara ("root"), tov ("branch").

Siberian surnames

It is known that Siberian surnames differ from Russian ones in their origin. A large group of Siberian surnames are those that are formed from the nicknames of the Cossack atamans-pioneers who participated in the development of Siberia. The serving people, although they were not related to them, but they wanted to forever associate their family with them. From Ermak Timofeevich came the Ermakovs, from Ivan Koltso — Koltsovs, from Nikita Pan — Panovs.

Surnames appeared from the Siberian Cossacks, based on military positions, types of weapons and other concepts. For example, the surname Odintsovo comes from the nickname "odinets" - the only child in the family. They were not put in the first rows to save the progenitor of the family. Novik is a recruit in a Cossack family. The names of Atamanov, Sotnikov, Yesaulov, Golovin do not require clarification. The ancestors of the Streltsov, Pushkarev, Bronnikov served as archers, gunners or warriors, in military armor, and the Tolmachevs were interpreters. Many Siberian surnames refer us to the main wealth of the Cossack — the faithful horse: Zherebtsov, Kobylin, Ogloblin.

The first Russian settlers often took geographical names of their place of birth as a distinctive name. In the XVII century these nicknames turned into surnames. For example, Ustyugov is a native of Veliky Ustyug, Bryantsev is a native of Bryansk. Speaking surnames of the time of the development of Siberia: Novgorodov, Vyatkin, Kargopoltsev, Mezentsev, Pinegin, Kostromin, Moskvin, Permyakov, Usoltsev, Litvinov. Captured foreign soldiers were also sent to Siberia, from whom the names of the Swedes, Germans, and French came.

Migrant peasants developing new lands often received the names Novopashin, Novoselov, Novozhilov. The first settlers took wives from the local population. The surnames of the Ostyaks, Zyryans, Tunguses, and Foreigners originate from the names of the peoples of Siberia. The representatives of the indigenous population themselves, having sworn allegiance to the tsar, received Russian surnames. Among those who converted to Orthodoxy, the surname of the Newly Baptized or simply Novokshenov was often found. Many newly baptized Tatars in the XVII century received the surnames Sukharev, Prokhorov, Andreev.

A special group of Siberian surnames that originated from Tatar names and nicknames is made up. These include Mingalev (min gali — "I teach", "I am a teacher"), Terleev (terle — "smelly"), Tlanchutyev (tlants — "beggar").

Many Siberian surnames are derived from Christian names: Arkhipov, Vasiliev, Grigoriev, Denisov, Kornilov, Petrov, Ivanov, Efremov, Osipov, etc. The surnames Degtyarev, Carpenters, Blacksmiths, Sannikov, Melnikov, Shoemakers, Ovchinnikov, Shubin, Korobeynikov, Vinokurov, Rukavishnikov and others appeared from the occupations of the population.

Andrey Ivanovich Tekutyev

Andrey Ivanovich Tekutyev was born in the village of Borki, Tyumen District, in a peasant family with many children, in 1838 he was baptized in the Church of St. Catherine the Great Martyr of the village of Sozonovo. His parents were illiterate, but Andrei Tekutyev overcame his literacy with a "self-taught". In 1843, the family moved to Tyumen, where his father started making leather. Andrey started working in a bread shop at the age of 12. At the age of 15, he was already a senior clerk, and at 17 he began to manage the shop on his own. Three years later, in 1857, A.I. Tekutyev married Evdokia Yakovlevna Petrushina, a peasant woman from Tavda parish, buying her out from the shopkeeper for gambling debts. Merchant A.T. Timofeyenkov helped Andrey Tekutyev. Seeing the guy’s business acumen, he lent 300 rubles. to open an independent trading business.

Andrey Ivanovich surprised his companions with a sober lifestyle, did not even drink champagne, did not like card games. As the owner, he treated drinkers harshly and imposed fines on them. In Yalutorovsk, at the fair, Tekutyev sold cattle bought from peasants in the county villages. Once I almost came under investigation, fake 25-ruble bills were found. The peasants were involved in the case, from whom he purchased cattle for sale. There was no direct evidence of his involvement, but they left him "under strong suspicion."

Timofeyenkov helped him again: he gave 100 bags of grain flour on credit to sell it from carts on the Market Square. "No one knew then, even, probably, Andrei Ivanovich himself, that Timofeyenkov’s proposal would be the first small step towards his millionth fortune." Krupchatka was not a marketable commodity, because it is more expensive than coarse flour. Tekutyev offered to buy a bag of grain, explaining that such flour is of higher quality, and it is more profitable, and offered 10 pounds of flour for free. It took 10 bags on the first day. Then the number grew to 500. He carried bags up to 150 kg himself, received goods from Kurgan and Shadrin mills, later took two assistants, and three years later significantly expanded the business

He conducted wholesale trade, kept a shop, built a mill on the outskirts of Tyumen — a huge five-storey building equipped with modern equipment. In addition to three mills, he had several trading shops, candle and soap production, a sawmill, as well as barges and steamships for transporting goods.

In 1899, at the age of 60, Andrei Ivanovich won the election to the post of mayor. The country celebrated the 100th anniversary of Alexander Pushkin, and the first speech of the mayor of Tyumen on the Thirteenth Tatishchevsky readings was about how to celebrate this significant date with dignity. For the opening of the Pushkin Public free library, Tekutyev donated 1,249 rubles. and then annually gave 1,000 rubles for its maintenance. Wishing to honor the memory of the great poet, Andrei Ivanovich also opened an elementary school in a large stone house belonging to him on Potaska. The training, manuals and textbooks were free of charge for the students.

Andrei Ivanovich did not forget his native village of Borki: he built and opened a two-grade school there, where 167 children studied for free. In April 1918, former Emperor Nikolai Romanov, Alexandra Feodorovna and their daughter Maria stayed overnight in the school building. The house has been preserved to this day. The benefactor also donated a large amount for the construction of the church.

Andrey Tekutyev also allocated large funds for the maintenance of the city theater built by him, equipping the hospital with a rengen apparatus, and reconstructing the Church of the Savior. The Holy Synod objected to the latter, but extensions were made, and in one of the limits Andrei Ivanovich and his wife rested.


Nikolai Martemyanovich Chukmaldin

He was born on December 4, 1836 in the family of Melania and Martemyan Chukmaldins. A simple peasant boy from the village of Kulakovo, Tyumen district, Tobolsk province. He started working at the age of six, helping his father at work. In the eighth year, the parents sent the boy to study the only literate person in the village — an old man, an Old Believer, Artemy Skrypa. Learning was easy. Chukmaldin retained his enthusiastic attitude to learning and the book for the rest of his life.

In the summer of 1852, at the age of sixteen, Chukmaldin went to Tyumen to serve a distant relative, merchant Ivan Reshetnikov. Reshetnikov had a tannery in the Zarechnaya part of the city. Chulmaldin was engaged in self-education, read a lot.

Nikolai Martemyanovich began his trading activity with the trade in wool, tea, leather and bread. He founded the trading house "Рartnership Chukmaldin and Glazunov". In the late 1860s, he opened a weaving factory in Tyumen, and in his native village Kulakovo — a match factory and a soap factory, in Arzamas — a felt factory.

His love of books and learning forced him to spend a lot of money on educational activities. As a patron of the arts, he became known for presenting zoological and botanical collections to the city of Tyumen. These exhibits formed the basis of the museum of the Tyumen Real School. Chukmaldin was at the origins of the creation of the clerks' club in Tyumen. On his initiative, a public library was also opened.

In 1872, Chukmaldin lived in Moscow, where he continued trading, but did not forget about Tyumen. In 1883 he became one of the founders of the Russian Gymnastic Society. In Kulakovo, he built a stone school, a stone St. Nicholas church, a public bank, a carpet manufacturing factory, and a bread store.

He traveled to Russia and beyond (Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Norway, Palestine, Egypt) and left books of essays about his travels. Nikolai Martemyanovich died in Berlin, where he came for treatment. They had a funeral service in the Berlin Russian Fraternal Church, but after that they were brought and buried in Kulakovo.
