Bakhtinin

Bakhtinin is a surname of Russian origin. It is a variant form of the more common Bakhtin, formed with the suffix -in, a pattern used in Russian to indicate affiliation or descent from a root name. The masculine form Bakhtinin is written in Cyrillic as Бахтинин, and the corresponding feminine form is Bakhtinina (Бахтинина). The name is found among Russian-speaking populations in Russia and neighboring countries, and in diaspora communities around the world. As with many surnames in the region, Bakhtinin does not imply a specific occupation or geographic origin, but rather traces a family lineage or personal name.

The surname is relatively uncommon and is not associated with a single widely known figure in English-language references; bearers of the name have achieved distinction in various fields without a single dominant namesake. In transliteration from Cyrillic, variations may occur, but Bakhtinin remains clearly related to the root name Bakhtin. See also Bakhtin, the more prominent surname from which Bakhtinin is derived.
