After many arguments, the expecting couple finally decided to use a patronymic name which made her husband happy.

Analyzing her patronymic lineage required many hours of looking at the spelling of her grandfather’s and father’s names.

Due to Russia’s long culture of using the husband’s names, many people possess three names which are a first name, a patronymic name and the surname.

In history, many surnames were the result of a patronymic job including carter, cartwright and fisherman.

Even though the young man did not know his father, he used a patronymic surname of Rockefeller to impress people.
