Evgenyevich

Evgenyevich is a Russian patronymic surname derived from the given name Evgeny, which is a variant of Eugene. In Russian, the suffix -evich denotes a son of the person named Evgeny. The surname is often used to refer to individuals with the given name Evgeny, particularly in contexts where the patronymic system is employed.

The patronymic system, which is common in many Slavic countries, includes the patronymic as a middle name. For example, a person named Evgeny Petrovich Ivanov would have Evgeny as his given name, Petrovich as his patronymic (son of Petr), and Ivanov as his family name. This system is less common in Russia today, especially in urban areas, but it is still used in some regions and among older generations.

Evgenyevich can also refer to Evgeny Evgenyevich, a character in the novel "The Master and Margarita" by Mikhail Bulgakov. In this work, Evgeny Evgenyevich is a fictional character who serves as a foil to the novel's central figure, the Master. His name is a play on words, as it is a direct repetition of his given name and patronymic.

The surname Evgenyevich is not exclusively Russian; it can be found in other Slavic countries as well, such as Ukraine and Belarus, where the patronymic system is also used. However, the specific spelling may vary depending on the language and transliteration conventions.
