Yevgeniyovich

Yevgeniyovich is a masculine patronymic used in Slavic naming traditions, derived from the given name Yevgeniy (also transliterated as Evgeny or Евгений). It literally means “son of Yevgeniy” and is used as the paternal middle name in full Russian-style names. The feminine form of this patronymic is Yevgeniyevna (also Evgenyevna; Евгеньевна).

The patronymic system is common across Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, and other post-Soviet states. In Russian, the male patronymic Евгеньевич is commonly transliterated as Evgenyevich or Yevgenyevich, while the female Евгеньевна is transliterated as Evgenyevna or Yevgeniyevna. Variants such as Yevgeniyovich appear in some transliterations, but they are less standard than Evgenyevich/Yevgenyevich. Ukrainian and Belarusian forms exist as well, for example Yevheniyovych in Ukrainian, reflecting parallel naming practices in those languages.

In practice, patronymics are used in formal speech and official documents, often paired with the given name in a respectful address (for example, Alexander Evgenyevich Ivanov). In everyday usage, most people rely on the first name alone, with the patronymic reserved for formal or polite contexts.

Note that Yevgeniyovich is not typically a hereditary surname; it denotes lineage from a father named Yevgeniy. Some individuals may have patronymics that coincide with family names in rare cases, but the standard function of Yevgeniyovich is as a patronymic rather than a fixed surname.
