Makarov (surname)

Makarov (Russian: Макаров) - Russian surname that originated from the given name Makar, meaning, "happy" or "blessed" in Greek. It is the 29th most common Russian surname. Other surnames have originated from the same given name: Makarikhin, Makarkin, Makarochkin, Makarshin, Makarychev, Makarov, Makashin.

After 988, Slavic naming tradition dictated that during the baptismal ceremonies, a person received from the priest a baptismal name ("christening"). The given names, therefore, match the names of the saints, and are, therefore, referred to as christian names.

Makarov was the basis for the names of the ecclesiastical name of Macarios. Often, ancient Slavs used a patronymic naming system, and therefore added the name of the father to the name of the newborn child, indicating belonging to a specific family, in order to avoid confusion. This was necessary because the baptismal names were relatively few, and were likely to recur. A person's middle name also helped to solve the problem of misidentification.

The name derives from Macarius the Egyptian, who, in his youth was a shepherd, and then spent 60 years in the wilderness. At the 40th year of his life, he was ordained a presbyter, and then began to conduct services of numerous students.

The fact that the names formed from the complete form of the name, had essentially social elite, the nobility or family enjoy in the area great authority, representatives of which neighbors respectfully called the full name, unlike those from other classes, who were preaching, as a rule, diminutive, derivatives whose customary names. Already in the 15th-16th centuries in an environment rich people are beginning to be fixed and passed on from generation to generation names, denoting ownership rights to a particular family. They were possessive adjectives with the suffixes-ov /-ev,-in, initially pointing to the head of the family. Thus, a descendant of a person with the name of Machar, eventually got the name of Makarov.
