I come from a line of German Hutterites who lived in the Russian Empire from 1770 to 1874 (in southern Ukraine, in today's borders) but people on that side of my family all generally share some traces of Russian, Ukrainian, and Romanian ancestry, which means the Hutterite population isn't exclusively ethnically German like I once thought. I wonder where I could look for a possible entry of a Russian and/or Ukrainian name that could explain how that ancestry got there in a group of people that were generally isolated in their own villages
My last name is Hudenets I was always told it was Russian my great great grandfather immigrated to Maine or Pennsylvania around the time of First World War and the revolution…I was told they fled Russia cause the opened land
I always wonder what my last name means. I have been told that in Russia last names originated base on people’s occupation. I never been to Russia and am a 3 generation of Russian decent born abroad. I look Russian, speak Russian but know very little about my ancestry. I know that my last name isn’t any occupation, I don’t even know what Reutov means in Russian language. My children also have Russian last name from their father that it is unfamiliar and I have no idea what it means, their last name is Anfilofieff.
Its the same even Ukrainians have so called Russian surnames visa versa bit due to recent Ukrainian letter changes it might not seem so especially today
Thank you for listening to the podcast and subscribing... I really appreciate it.
Surnames that end in "-ov", "-ev", or "-in" are not always patronymic. These suffixes can be added to anything to make a surname.
