to basics
Consider how and where there have been some "nickname", with which the once proud of Russia.For example, Almazovo.It sounds great, right?Derived from the name of the village Almazovka and mention of this kind dates back more noble 17th century.I remember the men and such beautiful names as Aksakov, Lermontov.First, they are of foreign origin (Turkic and Scottish-English), and secondly, the two kinds of famous throughout the world of Russian literature, giving the most remarkable writers of our culture.Interestingly origin of nicknames Obolensky.In the Kaluga region was once the city Obolensky, who complained to the perpetual use of a certain gentleman who distinguished themselves in his defense.To emphasize its material worth, it was called Obolensky, giving rise to a new family.With toponym related Vyazemskys pedigree - from a small tribal town Vyazma standing on a viscous, muddy river.On a geographic basis is formed and such a beautiful Russian men's names as Onegin, Pechorin, Rostov, Meshchersky, Olenin, Polonsky et al.
