Solovyova

Solovyova is a Russian feminine surname derived from the masculine Solovyov (Соловьёв). The root is linked to the word solovey, meaning "nightingale," suggesting an origin as a nickname or descriptor for a person associated with singing or the bird. The feminine form is created with the standard -ова ending, aligning with gender agreement in Slavic naming customs.

Transliteration from Cyrillic yields several spellings in Latin script, including Solovyova, Solovieva, and Solovyeva, depending on the transliteration system and language. The surname is common in Russia and in other parts of the former Soviet Union, and it appears among Slavic diaspora communities.

In usage, Solovyova identifies a woman whose family name is derived from Solovyov. The corresponding masculine form is Solovyov. As with many Russian surnames, bearers may adopt variations in international contexts or adapt to local naming conventions.
