Makarov - 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.
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 Coat of arms of Makarov was approved on the 25th of January 1801 by Empress Catherine II
and Emperor Paul I
.
