I need some patronymic names and surnames for these Russian characters?

Question

I need patronymic names and surnames for the following characters:

1. Name: Ekaterina
Father's name: Dimitri
Surname: Aristov

2. Name: Vasily
Father's name: Aleksandr
Surname: Krasnov

3. Name: Sofiya
Father's name: Konstantin
Surname: Zobov

Is there a general rule for patronymic names and surnames (for their endings)? Because if I knew it would make my life a lot easier.

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

Ekaterina Dmitrievna Aristova (I should add that Dimitri is not a Russian name, while Dmitri is).

Vasily Aleksandrovich Krasnov

Sofiya Konstantinovna Zobova



Basically, you add -ovich or -evich to male patronimic and -ovna or -evna to female.

Answer 2

1. He would be Dmitri. Dimitri is NEVER used in Russia.



Ekaterina Dmitrievna Aristova



2. Vasily Aleksandrovich Krasnov



3. Sofiya Konstantinovna Zobova.



There are rules, but there are many cases where rules are not applicable.



For surnames you usually add -a for female version. But there are many surnames of Ukrainian, Belorussian, etc... origin which do not have female versions.



For patronymics you add -ovich/-evich for men and -ovna/-yevna for women (depends on name). But sometimes father's name requests deleting the last letter before adding patronymic ending. Sometimes endings are irregular depending on father's name.
