kontrolova

Kontrolova is a feminine surname of Slavic origin. It is commonly the feminine form of masculine surnames such as Kontrolov used in Bulgarian and Russian naming traditions, and Kontrolová in Czech or Slovak contexts. The root of the name stems from the word kontrol, meaning control, inspection, or oversight, which suggests an occupational or descriptive origin in historical communities. The suffix -ova or -ová marks feminine form and is combined with the masculine stem Kontrolov to form a family name.

The name likely originated from an ancestor who held a role related to supervision or oversight, such as an inspector or controller. As with many Slavic surnames, regional variation in spelling and pronunciation can occur, with the same root appearing across languages in slightly different orthographies.
