The list of beautiful female surnames is very diverse and you can list them endlessly. Each has its own idea of āāaesthetics. And any person, if asked, will name the most beautiful female names that he likes more than others. Therefore, there can be a great many options. But before you begin to give examples and analyze in stages the very family names, you must first recall the definitions and origins of the origin of surnames as such.
The meaning of the word "surname" and its origin
The word "surname" in translation from Latin means "family". It follows from this that this term indicates that a person belongs to a particular genus from which he emerged. Often the origin of the surname is associated with the activity that a certain genus has been involved from generation to generation, sometimes the surname indicates the locality in which the dynasty lived. Often surnames were formed from nicknames, sometimes they concerned the specific appearance or nature of their carrier. No wonder there is a saying that the need for inventions is cunning! Focusing on a characteristic trait, people "hung" on a person a "label", which, as a rule, hit "not in the eyebrow, but in the eye." Over time, this nickname turned into the basis of family naming, thus, the affiliation of children and families to a specific person was determined. For example, Milovidov is a beautiful surname, isn't it ?! She means that her master was a pretty person, and his daughter, accordingly, became Milovidova, the daughter of Milovidova.
Surnames of aristocrats
Many believe that beautiful female surnames are Russian aristocratic. Probably, one should not delve into the memories of the surname of the royal Rurikovich dynasty that has gone into oblivion and remained in history , but the Romanovs - the descendants of the last ruling kings - in our country, and not only, are more than enough. Romanova is, undoubtedly, a beautiful female surname.
Surnames derived from first names
It is worth making a small digression, family names, derived from many names, sound very nice. This is especially true for "royal" names. For example, the derivative of "Basil", which is translated from Greek as "king" - Vasiliev (a). Or Stepanov (a) - in ancient Greek "stefanos" means a wreath or crown. Dmitriev (a) also sounds beautiful. But could it be otherwise? After all, this beautiful female surname came from the ancient Greek goddess of the land of Demeter. And the surname Ivanov (a), which has already become a common noun, also has a noble origin, because from Hebrew this surname translates as "the mercy of God." Many
Russian tsars were named Ivan, and Ivan Tsarevichs are everywhere present in Russian fairy tales. But hereās the catch, is this surname really Russian? That's a moot point. However, among the Russian people it became widespread.
If we consider aristocratic surnames, then itās worth touching on Tolstoyās novel āWar and Peaceā and recalling Prince Bolkonsky. A similar surname - Volkonsky - was worn by the princes of the Russian state. Surnames are really beautiful. Yes, and Natasha Rostova has a beautiful female surname. And if you pay attention to the Shuisky, Obolensky, Vyazemsky, Lermontov ... Sound good? Very much! The surname of the author himself causes controversial emotions, some believe that the surname Tolstoy sounds bad, others - on the contrary. Tastes differ. Everyone has the right to have an opinion.
Surnames associated with animals and birds
Many people believe that generic names derived from the beautiful names of animals and birds, such as Lebedev, Orlov, Strizhenov, Sokolov, etc. - very beautiful surnames. And Lviv, which came from the
king of beasts, why not the royal surname ?! Volkov, Zverev and Medvedev also sound menacing and majestic, which means beautiful. The surname Berendeev (a) again sounds beautiful, many do not know, but it is also derived from a bear. After all, initially in Russia, bears were called beers,
sweet-tooth connecting rods became
bears a little later. From here came the Berendey - a genus that has a guard symbol of a bear.
Surnames derived from professions and ranks
Beautiful generic names can be found among those that have descended from professions and military ranks. The majority, for example, will note such names as Kuznetsov (a), Mayorov (a), Generals (a). Sometimes incidents happen. So the name Zolotarev (a), which at first glance sounds very beautiful, has its own catch - itās no secret to anyone what the Zolotarevs did in Russia. Someone believes that Tsvetaeva is a very beautiful female surname. You can also mention Nabokov and Diaghilev. You wonāt remember everyone at a time. For someone, foreign surnames are more preferable - Montmorencier, Poisson or Lamborghini. It's a matter of taste. In any case, a person does not choose his last name, in principle, in the same way as his parents. True, a girl, choosing a groom, can be capricious. And she really has a chance to pick up a beautiful surname. Or maybe God be with her, with this last name? Maybe it's better to choose a good person?
Foreign beautiful surnames
If everything is more or less clear with beautiful Russian surnames, then how can one determine foreign beautiful female surnames? Foreign beautiful surnames may not be beautiful at all for the people where they originated. But on the other hand, the surname will sound romantic and unusual for Russian people. Take, for example, the Armenian surname Chakhalyan. For the Russian people, this surname is a secret, it does not mean anything. What can we say about Russia, for the Armenians the significance of this surname is also not known. And all because the basis of this surname is the Persian word "Chahal", which translates as "jackal". At first glance, this may seem ugly. However, if you dig deeper and find out that with this word the Persian conquerors called the Armenian rebels who fought for the independence of their country, then, on reflection, we can assume that this is the name of the heroes. And indeed it is.
English last names: history
Many people know that in the history of mankind there was a period when family names simply did not exist, but over time the world underwent changes, and in connection with social and political progress, with an improvement in the level of culture among the population, certain generic names were formed and formed. Great Britain at all times was considered the most developed state, therefore it was in England that surnames began to appear earlier than in other countries of Europe and Asia. Surnames were first of all given to rich and noble people. This period fell on the 11-12th centuries. Then the other strata of society received generic definitions, so in the 17th century every person already had his own surname.
English surnames in connection with the history of origin and a specific designation are divided into four groups.
The first are those that descended from names. Such surnames completely copy the personal names of people: Tailor, Jack. Walter, Thomas, Allen. There are surnames derived from biblical names with the addition of syllables or individual letters, for example: Tailors, Dixon, Raygen, James. Another type of English surname was obtained by adding -son to the personal name, which means son, or by adding -ston, which indicates that a person belongs to the north of the country: Jackson, Martinson, Parkinson, Prinston, Bryanston.
Scotland, which is part of the UK, has also borrowed a way to create last names by adding "-son": MacDonald, MacRein, MacCensy. Irish surnames are constructed based on the vowel O: O'Hara, O'Scott. O'Blain etc.
The following names, which are currently the most common: Anderson, Cooper, Hill, Morgan, King, Jackson, Miller, Parker, Brown, Lee, Taylor, can be classified as "beautiful English female surnames."
French last names
Almost everything French is endowed with a certain charm and charm, and beautiful female surnames did not pass by. French - Marceau, Delon, Aznavour, Sarkozy - they are easily recognizable and stand out from the others.
French in itself is very peculiar, the pronunciation of a large number of French surnames, as well as names, may not be obvious. For example, many French surnames at the beginning had a particle Le: Le Corbusier, Le Pen. If we consider Russian transcription, then these surnames will be read, like le Corusier, le Pen. When the correct pronunciation should be like this: le Corbusier and le Pen. The same situation is with the particle De.
One can list for a very long time what surnames are. Beautiful female first and last names can pay attention to a person no worse than some stylish image. Any girl can get a beautiful surname when she is married. Unlike the emancipated West, in Russia it is customary to take the name of the spouse after marriage. And if the groom has an elegant surname, then his bride becomes her happy owner.
Greek last names
Many believe that the most beautiful of all surnames are Greek. Thanks to their culture and active political activity, the ancient Greeks managed to gain world fame. Therefore, it is not surprising that Greek surnames are of great interest. The names of the Greeks, as well as the names of other nationalities, were formed according to certain rules. Often the basis of the surname was the names of fathers and grandfathers. At the same time, the grandfather way of creating surnames is the most common, because the Greeks, in addition to surnames, also used middle names. The Greek name early enough acquired a modern form, consisting of the name, patronymic and last name.
The basis of many Greek surnames formed the names of professions, places, as well as biblical motifs.
Female surnames for the most part coincide with the genitive case of male surnames. And in order to avoid unwanted homonymy, it is customary to put different stresses in female and male surnames.
Difficulty of choice
Choosing a surname is a rather difficult question for a girl. Some may consider that beautiful are those that have a deep meaning, for example, Lyubimova, Vseslavskaya, Blagova and other similar female names. Beautiful foreign surnames may be of interest to other women. In this case, they can pay attention to such naming conventions as: Kandelaki, Lemm, Alter, etc. However, a sonorous last name is not always combined with the name and patronymic. So, Anfisa Egorovna Sheremetyeva is a variant of far from elegant taste. It is important not to forget that a surname is not the main thing in a person.
