Surnames Mukhametshin - Mukhan

When did my last name appear? What does it matter? Is it possible to find out the history of the origin of the surname? What information does my last name store about my ancestors? Visitors to our site ask many similar questions. It is possible to give the most detailed answer to them only after collecting additional information. Therefore, we recommend that everyone who contacts our center for the first time carefully studyQUESTIONNAIRE , which will need to be filled out when submitting an application for research.

Each surname contains interesting information about their ancestors. But each surname has its own “set of information”. One surname retains a mention of the profession of the ancestor, another surname tells about where the ancestors lived, what language or dialect they spoke, what nationality they belonged to. The surname can also tell about the class, position, appearance, habits or character traits of the ancestor. But all this knowledge can be restored only with a serious and professional attitude to the “family” search.

The history of the origin of Russian surnames is a long process that took several centuries. Some surnames arose only at the end of the 19th century; other surnames appeared earlier as unofficial family nicknames and only in the 19th century were turned into official surnames. But there are surnames whose history goes back 4 or more centuries. Therefore, the complete collection of modern surnames in itself is a most interesting monument: history, language, folklore, rituals, beliefs and superstitions, in a word - the culture of the peoples of our multinational Motherland.

This page presents only a small part of the surnames existing in Russia and the CIS, recorded in the database of the Information and Research Center "History of Surnames".

MATAEV: number of interaction with the world “9”

The vibrations of the number nine make people strive for excellence and work on themselves throughout their lives. “Niners” are very strong and multifaceted people, sometimes not very pleasant to communicate with: they are just as demanding of others as they are of themselves, can be harsh in their language and do not always know the limit in criticism. Words are the best weapon of Nine people, but they are not always used in the best way; often anger or resentment force the “nine-year student” to say something completely different from what he thinks, and this becomes the cause of serious problems, sometimes dragging on for a long time. The shortcomings of people of the Nine are numerous and varied, but they are certainly surmountable - if only there was a desire. A “nine” can change his character, habits and manners, but will be severely punished if he does this not for himself, but only to please another.

For Nine people, it is very important not to withdraw into themselves: they need to see the world, be interested in the affairs of others, and comprehend science for self-development and spiritual comfort. No matter how difficult “niners” may sometimes seem to communicate - they are carried away, fickle, sometimes forgetting about compromises and a sense of tact - a positive principle predominates in their character, and it quickly becomes obvious to everyone. However, a person of nine does not need company too much and, left alone, does not lament his fate. He always has a lot to do, interests and reasons for thinking, and around him there are people who need help, support and love.

The “nine” is able to completely dissolve in love and enjoys it, even if it does not receive reciprocity. He needs little and gives much; neither one’s own strengths nor material factors have much value in his eyes, therefore they do not particularly strive for comfort or wealth. For Nine people, it is much more important to ensure that their lives are rich and interesting. That is why they usually prefer the city to the countryside and do not get joy from passive, inactive recreation.

It is also necessary to remember that the character of a “nine” is influenced by the vibrations of all numbers, so to many the behavior of such a person may seem unpredictable. Logic and rational judgment are not the best helpers in the matter called “understanding a person of nine.” Here, intuition will most likely be useful, and trust will not be superfluous - it must be admitted that in most cases the “nine” does the right thing and, if he is not interfered with, solves problems in the best possible way.

MATAEV: the number of spiritual aspirations is “8”

Eight is the number of aspirations of the soul, giving a person a tremendous desire for independence. There are no authorities for such people. Their own thoughts and idealistic ideas about the world make them outcasts and renegades. However, enormous determination and the ability to dictate their own rules lead G8 people to recognition and well-deserved leadership in the team.

The lust for power, wealth and fame abound. Wanting to provide a decent standard of living for his family, a person number eight may take a dangerous path, but natural caution will not allow him to suffer from his own indiscretion. The sooner such a person finds the most suitable business for himself, the sooner he will gain authority, and the more measured his life will be.

If this does not happen, then the “eight-ball” plunges into the fight against stereotypes, prejudices, norms and perceived injustice. Eternal battle deprives people of the number eight of strength and vigor, as well as the likelihood of finding their happiness. Eights often have entrepreneurial abilities, but do not risk their money. Their business is successful, and their partners and investors are honest.

Luck accompanies people of number eight only when the right direction for self-expression and realization is chosen. Living only by your own interests leads to melancholy, despondency and loneliness, but selfishness fades away as soon as the understanding comes that the more you give, the more you gain.

Number eight people have huge ambitions, but do not always find the strength to realize them. The ability to convince and attract others with oneself opens up considerable opportunities for one’s comrades, but an overly difficult choice of a leader is punished by one’s own like-minded people with a stab in the back. Resourcefulness helps to navigate a difficult situation, and speech, supported by well-founded arguments, inspires boundless confidence.

The worst version of the “eight” is impatient, devoid of prudence, capricious and incredibly picky in love relationships, but even such a person always listens to the voice of reason and will reconsider his actions if he is convinced that this is necessary to fulfill his plans.

MATAEV: number of true singularities “1”

For a unit to have a positive influence on a person, he needs loneliness and freedom of activity. The problem with these people is that they not only do not take into account, but do not even listen to the opinions of other people. Carrying out other people's orders is not for them. If a “one-man” happens to be in a leadership position, then his orders will be clear and will not be subject to discussion.

From their subordinates they expect only the execution of orders, but not advice or expression of their opinions. Such a person very rarely sees people as helpers. Those around him are followers of his ideas and no one else. For this reason, the “unit” will never brag about his high patrons. He will simply never have them.

It is very important that the people who are affected by the unit always remember what they are working for. As a rule, this is not difficult. After all, they set extraordinary goals for themselves. For them, only the significant, the great, the large-scale are significant. Only by remembering the goal can a “one-man” force himself to listen to other people, try to find a solution that is beneficial to both parties and drown out his violent impulses.

If the unit influences a woman, then the lady will definitely be the leader in the pair. Moreover, in work activity, it often does not manifest itself as actively as in personal life. But “one-off” men try to dominate in all spheres of life.

To maintain the bar, they sometimes have to be at the limit of their capabilities. They cannot relax either surrounded by family or on vacation. And this is fraught with nervous breakdowns, health problems and difficulties in communicating with loved ones.

To prevent life from becoming a race with obstacles, such people definitely need to learn to hear others. Pay attention to their needs, desires, learn to trust not only yourself, but also others. Only in this way can they find peace and rejoice when their goal is achieved.

In the Russian Federation, every 10th marriage is mixed. This is due to demographic reasons and the fashionable tendency to enter into an alliance with a foreign citizen. They are often legitimized between Russians and visiting students. But such mixed marriages are often doomed to short-lived existence. As a result, owners of a “specific” surname may not always know their true roots, especially if the parents categorically do not want to raise the topic of kinship.

You can find out nationality by last name. But this is a painstaking and long process that is best left to specialists. However, the origins can be established according to general rules.

History of the surname

In past centuries, only aristocrats had a pedigree. The common people were not supposed to know their origin, and therefore have a surname. Only during the reign of Vasily the First did peasants begin to receive nicknames that resembled their real name: Semyon Cherny, monk Rublev and others.

Studying the pedigree is of great importance. It not only allows you to find out how to determine nationality by surname, but also conveys the historical past.

Since ancient times, the official surname served to identify a person and his family. Many marriages were and are of an interethnic nature. The surname allows you to establish the degree of relationship, because it takes into account not only linguistic characteristics, but also territorial characteristics with historical factors.

How to carry out the analysis?

To determine a person’s nationality by last name, you should remember the Russian language school course. A word consists of a root, a suffix and an ending. allow you to calculate the first two points.

In the surname you need to highlight the root and suffix.
Determine nationality using suffixes.
If this is not enough, analyze the root of the word.
Rate the name according to the degree of its origins in Europe.

In many surnames, not only the morphological features of the word are taken into account, but also the person’s belonging to a certain group: by specialty, personal qualities, the name of an animal or bird.

Establishing nationality by suffixes and root words

Belonging to Ukrainian origins is confirmed by the presence of suffixes:

enko;
eiko;
point;
ovskiy

Finding out the nationality of people with Jewish roots by last name is not so easy. Its origin is influenced by many factors.

The surname can be based on the name of a profession, animal or bird. For example, Bondar, Gonchar are Ukrainian designations for a working specialty. Gorobets is a sparrow in Ukrainian. It’s just that later this word was transformed into a surname.

You can often see surnames consisting of two words, such as Ryabokon, Krivonos and others. They indicate the presence of Slavic roots: Belarusian, Polish, Ukrainian, Russian.

How to determine Jewish roots

The suffix and root of a word do not always help determine nationality by surname. This also applies to Jewish origins. To establish kinship, 2 large groups are distinguished here:

The roots are "Cohen" and "Levi".
Male names.

The roots “Cohen” and “Levi” indicate that the owner of the surname belongs to Jews whose ancestors had the rank of clergy. Among them you can find the following: Kogan, Kagansky, Kaplan, Levita, Levitin, Levitan.

The second group contains male names. These include the names Solomon, Moses and others.

The Jewish people have one peculiarity: during prayer, a person is called by his mother’s name. And nationality here is also given on the maternal side. This interesting historical fact led to the formation of surnames that are based on the feminine gender. Among them are Sorinson, Rivkin, Tsivyan, Beilis.

And the working specialty can answer the question of how to determine nationality by last name. This also applies to Jewish roots. For example, the surname Fain translated from Hebrew means “beautiful” and characterizes a person’s appearance. And Rabin means “rabbi”, that is, professional activity.

European roots

In Russia you can often find English, French, and German origins. Certain rules of word formation help to recognize a specific nationality by last name.

French origin is confirmed by the presence of the prefixes De or Le in the surname.

German were formed in three ways:

on behalf of personal names - Walter, Peters, Werner, Hartmann;
from nicknames (for example, Klein);
associated with a specific profession (the most common is Schmidt).

Surnames of English origin also have several ways of formation:

depending on place of residence - Scott, English, Irish, Welsh, Wallace;
from a person’s professional activity - Spooners, Carver, Butler;
taking into account human qualities - Bad, Sweet, Good, Moody, Bragg.

A separate group is formed by Polish surnames: Kowalczyk, Sienkiewicz, Nowak. As a rule, they have the suffixes -chik, -vich, -vak.

Lithuanian surnames have the suffixes -kas, -kene, -kaite, -chus, -chene, -chite.

Features of Eastern origins

The formation of a surname is influenced by several factors:

territorial affiliation of ancestors;
occupation;
personal human characteristics;
morphological components of a word.

In eastern countries, to find out whose last name is by nationality, you need to analyze its suffixes and endings.

Chinese and Korean surnames are monosyllabic and short. The most typical of them are Xing, Xiao, Jiu, Layu, Kim, Dam, Chen.

Muslims have surnames with suffixes ending in -ov, -ev (Aliev, Aushev, Khasbulatov, Dudayev and others). Among the Armenian people they end in -yan (Shiyan, Bordiyan, Porkuyan).

They have “incomparable” suffixes and endings: -shvili, -dze, -uri, -uli, -ani(ya), -eti(ya), -eni, -eli(ya).

All of the above features allow us to find the true roots. But only a specialist can tell you exactly how to find out nationality by last name. Sometimes this requires a detailed analysis that takes into account many factors. A person is inextricably linked with his name, and it can really tell a lot about him and his ancestry.

Most likely, the surname Mataev is derived from the nickname Matai. Matai (or Madai) was the name of one of the Turkic peoples. The ethnonym itself possibly goes back to the name Madai: that was the name of the third son of Japheth, the ancestor of the Medes.

It cannot be ruled out that the surname Mataev is associated with the verb to shake. In this case, it is derived from the nickname Motai. It probably refers to the so-called professional names, containing an indication of the type of activity of a person. Therefore, it can be assumed that Motaem could have been nicknamed the one who was engaged in winding yarn.

However, it is possible that this nickname was ironic and emphasized bad habits and negative aspects of a person. So, Motay was often called a spendthrift, a reveler, a reveler, a spendthrift.

The alternation of vowels o/a was the result of the influence of the Akaya dialect. Matai eventually received the surname Matayev.
