The history of the last name Sidorenko

The surname Sidorenko is of Russian origin and dates back to the 16th century. It originated in the areas around Moscow and the surrounding regions. The name is derived from the Russian word "Sidor", which is a diminutive form of the Greek name "Isidore". This diminutive form was commonly used as a first name in Russia during that time period.

One of the earliest recorded examples of the surname Sidorenko can be found in the Veliky Novgorod Chronicles, a collection of manuscripts detailing the history of the city of Novgorod. These chronicles mention a man named Sidor Sidorenko, who was a merchant and landowner in the region during the late 16th century.

In the 17th century, the Sidorenko surname began to spread throughout other parts of Russia, particularly in the areas around Kursk and Voronezh. During this time, there are records of a Cossack leader named Ivan Sidorenko, who played a significant role in the Peasants' War of 1670-1671.

The 18th century saw the rise of several notable individuals with the Sidorenko surname. One example is Nikolai Sidorenko, a Russian poet and playwright born in 1742. His works, which included several satirical plays, were popular during the reign of Catherine the Great.

In the 19th century, the Sidorenko surname was also present in Ukraine, which was part of the Russian Empire at the time. One notable figure from this period was Dmitry Sidorenko, a Ukrainian writer and journalist born in 1835. He was known for his contributions to the Ukrainian literary movement and his efforts to promote the Ukrainian language and culture.

Another prominent individual with the Sidorenko surname was Pyotr Sidorenko, a Russian military commander who lived from 1832 to 1909. He played a significant role in the Russo-Turkish War of 1877-1878 and was awarded several military honors for his service.
