What is s russian names?

Russian names typically consist of three parts - a first name, a patronymic (derived from the father’s first name), and a surname. The first name is chosen by the parents and may be either a traditional or modern name. Some popular traditional names for boys include Alexander, Dmitry, Ivan, and Nikolai, while traditional names for girls include Anastasia, Ekaterina, and Maria.

The patronymic is determined by the father's first name and is used as a middle name. For example, if the father’s name is Sergei, the son's patronymic would be Sergeyevich, and the daughter's patronymic would be Sergeyevna.

Surnames are inherited and are often derived from the father’s patronymic. For example, the surname Ivanovich is derived from the patronymic Ivanov. Some common Russian surnames include Ivanov, Petrov, and Sidorov.

Russian names also have gender-specific endings. Male names typically end in -ov or -ev, while female names end in -ova or -eva. For example, the male name Ivan becomes Ivanov when converted to a surname, while the female name Yelena becomes Yelenova.
