The history of the last name Usmanov

The surname Usmanov originated in Russia and is derived from the Russian word "usman," which means "man of Osman" or "descendant of Osman." The name has its roots in the 14th century, during the reign of the Golden Horde, a Mongol khanate that ruled over much of present-day Russia.

In its earliest form, the name was likely spelled "Usmanov" or variations such as "Osmanov" or "Osman." It is believed to have originated among Tatar or Turkic communities that had converted to Islam and adopted the name Osman as a sign of respect for the Ottoman Empire's ruling dynasty.

One of the earliest recorded instances of the name Usmanov can be found in the Velvet Book, a 16th-century cadastre (land registry) from the Principality of Muscovy. The book lists several individuals with the surname Usmanov, indicating that the name was already well-established in that region by that time.

During the 18th and 19th centuries, the Usmanov surname became more widespread in Russia, particularly in the Volga region and parts of Siberia. Some notable individuals with this surname from that era include:

1. Ivan Usmanov (1750-1822), a Russian merchant and philanthropist from Kazan.
2. Mikhail Usmanov (1802-1879), a Russian general who fought in the Caucasus Wars.
3. Yakov Usmanov (1835-1901), a Russian writer and journalist from Orenburg.

In the 20th century, several Usmanovs gained prominence in various fields, such as:

1. Magomed Usmanov (1909-1992), a Soviet Chechen writer and poet.
2. Alisher Usmanov (born 1953), a Russian businessman and one of the richest people in Russia.
