Yevseyevich

Yevseyevich is a surname of Slavic origin, formed from the masculine given name Yevsey, with the patronymic suffix -evich meaning “son of.” The given name Yevsey itself derives from the Greek name Eusebius, transmitted to Slavic languages through Church Slavonic as Евсей. As a surname, Yevseyevich typically indicates ancestral connection to a father named Yevsey and is found in Eastern Slavic regions.

The surname is most commonly encountered in Russia, Ukraine, and Belarus, and can appear in diaspora communities in Israel, the United States, Canada, and other countries. Variations in transliteration from Cyrillic can produce spellings such as Yevseyevich, Yevseevich, or Yevsievich; in some cases it may appear as Yevsevich or Yevsiev.

In genealogical and cultural contexts, Yevseyevich is an example of a patronymic surname that became a hereditary family name. Its use and spelling have been influenced by language reforms, migration, and local naming practices. As with many Slavic surnames, regional histories may reveal different frequencies or branches associated with particular areas.
