The history of the last name Rodionov

The surname RODIONOV is of Russian origin, originating in the late 16th or early 17th century. It is derived from the Russian given name Rodion, which itself is derived from the Greek name Rhodon, meaning "rose."

RODIONOV is a patronymic surname, meaning it was originally formed by adding the possessive suffix "-ov" to the name of the father, in this case, Rodion. This naming convention was common in Russia and other Slavic countries.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the RODIONOV surname can be found in the Velvet Book, a 17th-century census and tax record of the Tver region in northwestern Russia. It lists several individuals with the surname, indicating the name was already well-established by that time.

In the 18th century, the RODIONOV surname appeared in various historical records and documents throughout Russia. For example, Yegor Rodionov was a merchant and landowner in the Yaroslavl region in the mid-1700s, while Ivan Rodionov was a military officer who fought in the Russo-Turkish War of 1768-1774.

During the 19th century, several notable figures bore the RODIONOV surname. These include Nikolai Rodionov (1808-1885), a Russian writer and translator, and Yevgeny Rodionov (1853-1923), a prominent Russian sculptor known for his monumental works in St. Petersburg.

In the 20th century, Konstantin Rodionov (1915-1992) was a highly decorated Soviet military pilot who flew over 200 combat missions during World War II, earning the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. Another notable figure was Sergei Rodionov (1924-1990), a Soviet actor best known for his roles in classic films like Seventeen Moments of Spring.
