Mikhaylovna

Mikhaylovna is a Russian patronymic, meaning "daughter of Mikhail." It is a common female given name derived from the male name Mikhail, which itself is of Hebrew origin, meaning "who is like God?" As a patronymic, Mikhaylovna is typically used in conjunction with a person's given name and surname to form a full Russian name. For example, a woman named Anna whose father's name is Mikhail would be known as Anna Mikhaylovna. The use of patronymics is a traditional and integral part of Russian naming customs, conveying respect and familial connection. It is still widely used in Russia and other Eastern Slavic countries. While not a given name in itself, Mikhaylovna serves as a significant identifier within the Russian cultural context, indicating lineage and providing a formal address.
