Chatskaya

Chatskaya is a Russian feminine surname derived from the masculine Chatsky (Чацкий). In Russian naming practice, many family names form feminine variants by adding a suffix such as -aya, so Chatskaya denotes a female member of a family whose name is Chatsky.

The surname appears in Russian-language records, literature, and genealogical sources as a female form of Chatsky. It is not tied to a single universally known public figure, but may occur in biographies, historical documents, or works of fiction where a female bearer of the name is identified.

The name is transliterated from the Cyrillic Чацкая. Common transliterations include Chatskaya, with variations such as Chatzkaya arising from different transliteration schemes. The masculine form remains Chatsky (Чацкий), and these forms are related through the same root surname.

In cultural context, the root surname Chatsky is best known from the male protagonist of the Russian satirical play Woe from Wit by Alexander Griboedov; the feminine Chatskaya would be used for female descendants or characters in translations or adaptations of that tradition.
