The history of the last name Koneval

The surname KONEVAL is of Russian origin and dates back to the early 19th century. It is believed to have originated in the rural areas around Moscow and St. Petersburg, where it was likely derived from an occupational or descriptive term related to farming or horsemanship.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name KONEVAL can be found in the census records of the Tver region from the late 1820s, where it appears as a variant spelling of the more common surname Konovalov. This latter name is thought to stem from the Russian word "konoval," which referred to a horse doctor or farrier.

While no direct references to the KONEVAL name have been found in major historical documents or manuscripts, its close connection to Konovalov suggests that it may have been used interchangeably with that more widespread surname in certain regions.

Among the earliest known individuals bearing the KONEVAL surname was Yegor Koneval, a farmer and landowner who lived in the village of Novospasskoye, near Moscow, in the mid-19th century. Records indicate that he was born around 1825 and passed away in 1892.

Another notable figure was Konstantin Koneval, a skilled blacksmith who plied his trade in the town of Torzhok, located between Moscow and St. Petersburg, in the latter half of the 19th century. He was born in 1842 and is believed to have died sometime in the early 1900s.

In the 20th century, one of the most prominent individuals with the KONEVAL surname was Nikolai Koneval, a highly decorated military officer who served in the Red Army during World War II. Born in 1903 in the Smolensk region, he rose to the rank of Colonel and was awarded the Order of the Red Banner for his bravery and leadership during the Battle of Stalingrad in 1942-43.

Another notable figure was Galina Koneval, a renowned ballet dancer who performed with the Bolshoi Ballet in Moscow from the 1950s through the 1970s. She was born in 1932 in the city of Kazan and was celebrated for her virtuosic technique and expressive interpretations of classic roles.

Finally, Yuri Koneval, a prolific author and literary critic, made a name for himself in the latter half of the 20th century. Born in 1941 in the town of Vologda, he published numerous works of literary analysis and criticism, as well as several novels and short story collections, earning him prestigious awards and recognition within the Soviet Union and later Russia.
