Sergeyevna

Sergeyevna is a feminine patronymic used in Russian and several other Slavic naming traditions. It is formed from the male given name Sergey (Sergei) by adding the suffix -yevna, meaning "daughter of Sergey." The corresponding masculine form is Sergeyevich.

Sergeyevna is typically used as a middle name in formal full names, appearing after the first given name and before the family surname in official documents such as passports. It indicates the bearer’s paternal lineage but is not a family surname. Patronymics are a traditional element of official address in Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and some neighboring countries.

In everyday speech, people usually refer to others by their first name or first name plus patronymic in formal contexts, while the surname is used in many public contexts. The Ukrainian equivalent of Sergeyevna is Serhiivna (Сергіївна). Spelling variations exist due to transliteration from Cyrillic, including Sergeevna and Sergeyevna, but the meaning remains the same. The use of patronymics reflects cultural emphasis on family and lineage and remains common in formal or respectful address settings.
