Born in 1998, Reshetikhin plays as a defenseman and has been part of various youth and professional hockey teams in Russia. He has represented Russia in international junior competitions.

The surname itself likely derives from the word "reshetka," meaning "grate" or "lattice" in Russian. Surnames in Russia often originated from occupations, personal characteristics, or geographical locations. In this case, it's possible the original bearer of the surname was involved in the production or use of grates, or perhaps had a physical characteristic related to a lattice-like pattern.

While Nikita Reshetikhin is the most prominent individual bearing the name in contemporary public life, the surname is present within the broader Russian population. Information on the etymology of surnames can be complex and sometimes speculative, relying on linguistic analysis and historical records. The "Reshetikhin" surname, like many others, has a history rooted in the linguistic and social structures of Russia.
