 It is customary in Russia to use patronymics as middle names. Patronymics are derived from the father's given name and end with ''-ovich'' or ''-evich''. The female patronymics end in ''-ovna'' or ''-evna''.
 Most Russian surnames end in ''-ov'' or ''-ev''. Surnames derived from given male names are common. Female forms of this type of surnames end in ''-ova'' or ''-eva''.
