This is especially true for people from African countries, Spain and Latin America. Modern American surnames and names increasingly emphasize the origin of a person.

Young guys (and even mature men) are often referred to by their initials. For example, a man named T.J. Morris most of the acquaintances will probably call TJ.

We can say that they were not very lucky: the "second name" was successfully transformed into an offensive nickname. How many boys and girls have received serious psychological complexes just because they were born in the Korytkin or Trusikhin family? Many people even strive to start a family as soon as possible just to change their surname, and one of the main criteria for choosing a "soulmate" is the harmony of his "second name". This is especially true for girls: some of them are ready to forgive the chosen one for many shortcomings just because he is the bearer of a noble or beautiful foreign surname.

The most beautiful surnames in the world, harmonious and giving self-confidence, will be listed in this article.

What is a surname?

The word "surname" literally translates as "family". That is, this value indicates that a person belongs to a certain genus. In Russia, most of the surnames come from the profession or the village where the family lived. The ancestors of the Kuznetsovs were the most skilled blacksmiths, the Popovs were clergymen, and the Tolmachev family was probably initiated by a translator with Tatar language- interpreter. You can list such examples endlessly: the Rybakovs, the Goncharovs, the Melnikovs... If you are the bearer of such a generic name, you should think about it: maybe the genes of your ancestors are dormant in you and you should change your occupation, focusing on your own middle name?

Surnames that originated from the name of the ancestor of the family are very popular in Russia: Ivanovs (Ivan), Semenovs (Semyon), Zakharyevs (Zakhar) and so on.

Initially, in Russia there was no such difference - there were only names and patronymics. In the XIV century, the first owners of surnames were noble people - boyars and nobles. The peasants received the right to a "second name" only after the abolition of serfdom.

Beautiful Russian surnames

Interestingly, the most beautiful surnames for Russians are those that once belonged to nobles: Vyazemsky, Orlovsky, Obolensky. This is not surprising, because it emphasizes belonging to the aristocracy, giving its owner an indescribable charm. However, surnames ending in -sky can also belong to people whose ancestors were from Poland.

By the way, the surname Romanov, which was worn by representatives of the last ruling dynasty Russian Empire, considered one of the most beautiful in the world. This is not surprising, because Rome has always been one of the most powerful powers that created a unique cultural heritage. In Russia, she is considered not only one of the most beautiful, but also crowned.

Naturally, the Russians make a rather positive impression. male surnames formed from the names of animals. Of course, we are not talking about banal roosters, cows or even pigs. Volkov, Orlov, Lebedev - male surnames that evoke associations with sublime, noble animals and, of course, seem beautiful and pleasant. Similarly, the best female surnames are those associated with beauty, tenderness, kindness, motherhood. It can be: Krasnikova, Mariinsky, Rucheykova, Tsvetkova.

"Cool" Russian surnames are very popular, the carriers of which left a mark in history Russian state. For example, Mamontovs, Tolstoy, Dostoevsky, Golitsyns, Trubetskoy, Yusupovs, Potemkins. Usually their carriers really belong to a noble family: such "second names" were given to high-ranking people, while the rest had to be content with a surname derived from the profession or the name of a great-grandfather.

The most beautiful foreign surnames

Polls show that the most popular surname in the world is Rodriguez. She seems beautiful and very melodious. Maybe that's why the actor Antonio Rodriguez managed to achieve his popularity?

By the way, a huge number of people have such a surname: it is very common in the world. It is interesting that it came from the name of Rodrigo, which, in turn, comes from the ancient Germanic name Rodrigo. The first part of the name - "kind" - is translated as "glory", and the second - "rig" - means "strength", "power". So, the Rodriguez are simply doomed to loud fame and inexhaustible energy.

In second place on this list is Francois. The sound of this word evokes associations with a leisurely walk through the quiet Parisian streets, the aroma of coffee and croissants and wonderful French chanson. Yes, and by ear it is perceived easily, unusually soft and euphonious.
Fitzgerald is rightfully in third place. This "second name" was taken as a pseudonym by writers, musicians and artists: apparently, it contains a creative charge that feeds creators and gives them strength for new works. This surname is a transliteration of the Norman phrase, which can be translated as "son of Gerald."

Another beautiful foreign generic name is Werner. It has German origin and translates as "protect and arm". However, there is another, very prosaic hypothesis: some researchers believe that the word "Werner" means a banal barley on the eye. Therefore, it is possible that the ancestors of all living Werners had a common physical defect. Of course, this does not exclude the fact that they were brave warriors. But be that as it may, the surname sounds just great: it is associated with the "gloomy German genius", pedantry and accuracy.

Beautiful English surname - Buckingham, Clifford, Mortimer, Lincoln, Cornwall, Wiltshire. As you can see, English famous family names are associated with the aristocracy.

This list must also include oriental motifs. The Japanese surname Yakomoto is considered one of the most beautiful in the world. When you hear it, there are associations with cherry blossoms, medieval Japanese engravings and concise, capacious haiku. And this is no coincidence, because it is translated as "the foot of the mountain." Probably, the ancestors of all Yakomoto lived near the famous Fujiyama and, admiring its peak, composed magnificent poems.

American residents prefer the hereditary name King. It seems to them very beautiful and, so to speak, prestigious. Indeed, "king" is translated from English as "king". It is this generic name that the recognized king of horror Stephen King bears: it is possible that worldwide fame and it was a beautiful surname that brought him good luck. At the very least, it's hard to imagine a king being a shy and insecure person.

The surname Miller is extremely popular in the English-speaking world. It is she who is usually chosen by people who decide to change their "second name". Miller points to the nature of the occupation of the ancestor of the family, as it literally translates as "miller". In England, you can meet a huge number of Millers: the profession of a miller in this country was in great demand. Very often American subjects are also Millers.

Completes the list of Lehmann. This name sounds pretty good. In addition, psychologists have found that its carriers inspire the trust of business partners. Therefore, if you are planning to do business abroad, you should start collecting documents for changing your passport, as Lehmann will become a real talisman for you!

Should I change my last name?

A logical question may arise: maybe you should just take and change your last name? After all, people automatically treat the owners of beautiful surnames a little better, giving them certain qualities associated with the second name. Indeed, it is difficult to imagine that Durakov and Vyazemsky will be treated equally. Should I change my last name? The answer to this question will be ambiguous.

On the one hand, people really react to how your name sounds. If it evokes pleasant associations, then those around you will subconsciously perceive you a little better. However, it is known that they are greeted by clothes, but escorted by mind. Before becoming Dostoevsky or Romanov, it is worth considering whether you will fit the chosen big name.

Many dream of becoming owners of a foreign surname. After all, it has always been customary to treat foreigners in Russia with some reverence. But do not rush to change documents. "Cool" foreign surnames are beautiful in combination with foreign names: you should think about how this combination will turn out in your case. Owners of international names, such as Elena or Maria, are lucky: they can safely take foreign surnames. But for the girls "Love King", "Hope François" or for the guys "Sergey Rodriguez", "Vasily Miller" sounds pretty ridiculous.

In addition, the surname has some influence on you. It's about that the full name contains some information about your gender. Do you want to erase this information and write a new one? This issue should worry girls who get married: fortunately, in our society there is no need to take the husband's surname. In extreme cases, you may well become the owner of a double surname. By the way, they seem to many people especially beautiful and noble.

This list is subjective. Each family name is beautiful in its own way, because all of them are evidence of the history of our country and your family!

Scroll popular titles kind is endless, because, how many people, so many opinions. Each person will point to beautiful surnames that he personally likes. They can be short, long, but, according to most, the most popular are the aristocratic designations of family names. Let's see which surnames are more common and respected, and where they came from.
