The history of the last name Sutin

The surname Sutin originated in Russia and first appeared in historical records during the 16th century. It is derived from the Russian word "sutit," meaning "to quarrel" or "to argue." This suggests that the name may have originally been given as a nickname to someone known for being argumentative or litigious.

The earliest known record of the surname Sutin can be found in a census document from the city of Novgorod in 1567, listing a man named Ivan Sutin. Over the next few centuries, the name spread across various regions of Russia, with variations in spelling such as Sutino and Sutinov.

One notable bearer of the Sutin name was Pyotr Sutin, a merchant from Moscow who lived in the late 17th century. He was involved in trade with European countries and is mentioned in several business records from that time.

In the 19th century, a family of Sutins owned a large estate in the Tver region, near the town of Torzhok. The head of the family, Andrey Sutin (1812-1889), was a prominent landowner and served as a local official.

Another important figure was Mikhail Sutin (1856-1932), a Russian mathematician and professor at the University of St. Petersburg. He made significant contributions to the field of differential geometry and was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1918.

During the Soviet era, a notable bearer of the Sutin name was Yevgeny Sutin (1919-1989), a Red Army officer who fought in World War II and later became a writer, publishing several books about his military experiences.

While the Sutin surname is relatively uncommon outside of Russia, it has been carried by a few notable individuals in other countries as well.
