Yevgenyevich

Yevgenyevich is a male patronymic used in Russian and other East Slavic naming traditions. It indicates "son of Yevgeny" (the given name Evgeny) and is formed from the father's name Евгений (Yevgeny) with the patronymic suffix -евич, giving Евгеньевич. The feminine form is Yevgenyevna (Евгеньевна). In Ukrainian usage, a related patronymic would be Евгенович (Yevhenovych), reflecting local naming conventions and transliteration.

In practice, a full Russian name typically includes three parts: a given name, a patronymic, and a surname. The patronymic is used in formal address and official documents, often accompanied by the given name or initials (for example, Ivan Yevgenyevich Petrov). Among family and friends, people are more likely to use given names alone or with the surname, depending on context. Patronymics convey respect and denote paternal lineage.

Transliteration from Cyrillic to Latin script varies, so Yevgenyevich may appear as Yevgenyevich, Evgenyevich, or other closely related spellings in English-language texts. Ukrainian and other languages with similar traditions produce variants such as Yevhenovych. In East Slavic cultures, patronymics are a standard part of formal names and social address, while casual usage often treats the given name as the primary identifier.
