Krasovsky

Krasovsky is a surname of Russian origin. In Cyrillic it is Красовский, and the standard Latin transliterations include Krasovsky, Krasovskiy, and Krasovskii, with the feminine form Krasovskaya. The name is typically formed from the root Krasov- plus the adjectival suffix -sky, indicating origin or belonging. It is commonly understood as a toponymic or descriptive surname, deriving from a place name such as Krasov or Krasovo, or from a nickname associated with the root kras- in older Russian usage. However, specific etymologies may vary among families.

The surname is found predominantly in Russia and other countries of the former Soviet Union, and through migration it appears in Europe and North America. It is one of many Russian surnames that employ the -sky suffix to form adjectives and later family names, a pattern shared with numerous toponymic and descriptive forms.

Notable bearers of the name Krasovsky appear across a range of fields, including science, arts, sports, and public life. As with many surnames, the exact lineage and origin of a particular Krasovsky can often be traced through genealogical records rather than a single defining biography.
