Studying the history of the origin of the Nikitin surname reveals forgotten pages of the life and culture of our ancestors and can tell a lot of interesting things about the distant past.

The surname Nikitin is formed in the form of a patronymic from a proper name and belongs to a common type of Russian surnames.

After 988, every Slav, during an official baptism ceremony, received a baptismal name from the priest, which served only one purpose - to provide the person with a personal name. Baptismal names corresponded to the names of saints and were therefore common Christian names.

So the church name served as the basis for the surname Nikitin. Often the ancient Slavs added the name of his father to the name of a newborn, thereby denoting belonging to a certain clan. This is due to the fact that there were relatively few baptismal names, and they were often repeated. The addition to a person’s name in the form of a patronymic helped solve the problem of identification.

The surname Nikitin is derived from the name Nikita, which translated from ancient Greek means “winner.”

This name appeared in the name book in honor of Saint Nikita. The Holy Great Martyr Nikita was born and lived on the banks of the Danube and suffered for Christ in 372. Saint Nikita believed in Christ and received Baptism from the Gothic Bishop Theophilus, a participant in the First Ecumenical Council. The pagans began to oppose the spread of Christianity, which resulted in internecine warfare.

According to legend, by his example and inspired word, Nikita led many pagans to the faith of Christ. However, Athanaric (one of the main pagans), after the defeat, managed to regain his strength, return to his country and restore his former power. Remaining a pagan, he continued to hate Christians and persecute them. Saint Nikita, subjected to many tortures, was thrown into the fire, where he died in 372. A friend of Saint Nikita, Christian Marian, at night found the body of the martyr, undamaged by fire and illuminated by a miraculous light, carried it and buried it in Cilicia. Subsequently it was moved to Constantinople. A piece of the holy relics of the Great Martyr Nikita was later transported to the Vysoki Decani monastery, in Serbia.

Our ancestors believed that when a surname is formed from a baptismal name, the patronage of the saint extends to the entire clan.

The generally accepted model of Russian family names did not emerge immediately, but by the beginning of the 17th century, most surnames were formed by adding to the base - the name or nickname of the father - the suffixes -ov/-ev and -in, which gradually became typical indicators of Russian family names. By their origin, such names were possessive adjectives, patronymics. So the descendants of a man named Nikita could get the surname Nikitina.

It is currently difficult to talk about the exact place and time of the origin of the Nikitin surname, since the process of formation of surnames was quite long. Nevertheless, the surname Nikitin is a wonderful monument of Slavic writing and culture.

Excerpt characterizing Nikitin

“I was never happy then,” said the countess, “when Bolkonsky was Natasha’s fiancé, but I always wanted, and I have a presentiment, that Nikolinka would marry the princess.” And how good that would be!
Sonya felt that this was true, that the only way to improve the Rostovs’ affairs was to marry a rich woman and that the princess was a good match. But she was very sad about it. Despite her grief, or perhaps precisely as a result of her grief, she took upon herself all the difficult worries of orders for cleaning and arranging things and was busy all day long. The Count and Countess turned to her when they needed to be ordered something. Petya and Natasha, on the contrary, not only did not help their parents, but for the most part they bothered and disturbed everyone in the house. And all day long you could almost hear their running, screaming and causeless laughter in the house. They laughed and rejoiced not at all because there was a reason for their laughter; but their souls were joyful and cheerful, and therefore everything that happened was a reason for joy and laughter for them. Petya was happy because, having left home as a boy, he returned (as everyone told him) a fine man; It was fun because he was at home, because he had left Belaya Tserkov, where there was no hope of getting into battle soon, and ended up in Moscow, where one of these days they would fight; and most importantly, it was cheerful because Natasha, whose mood he always obeyed, was cheerful. Natasha was cheerful because she had been sad for too long, and now nothing reminded her of the reason for her sadness, and she was healthy. She was also cheerful because there was a person who admired her (the admiration of others was the ointment of the wheels that was necessary for her car to move completely freely), and Petya admired her. The main thing is that they were cheerful because the war was near Moscow, that they would fight at the outpost, that they were distributing weapons, that everyone was running, leaving somewhere, that in general something extraordinary was happening, which is always joyful for a person, especially for a young person.

On August 31, Saturday, in the Rostov house everything seemed to be turned upside down. All the doors were opened, all the furniture was taken out or rearranged, mirrors, paintings were removed. There were chests in the rooms, hay, wrapping paper and ropes lying around. The men and servants carrying out things walked with heavy steps along the parquet floor. Men's carts were crowded in the yard, some already topped and hitched, some still empty.
The voices and footsteps of the huge servants and the men who arrived with carts sounded, calling to each other, in the yard and in the house. The Count went somewhere in the morning. The Countess, who had a headache from the bustle and noise, lay in the new sofa with vinegar bandages on her head. Petya was not at home (he went to see a comrade with whom he intended to transfer from the militia to the active army). Sonya was present in the hall during the installation of crystal and porcelain. Natasha was sitting in her ruined room on the floor, between scattered dresses, ribbons, scarves, and, motionless looking at the floor, holding in her hands an old ball gown, the same (already old in fashion) dress that she wore for the first time at the St. Petersburg ball.

Nikita is a canonical name (Greek “to win”; “winner” - SRLI) or a truncated form of the canonical name Anikita (Greek “invincible” - SRLI). The common noun nikita is also known - Ryaz “about a stupid, stupid person” (SRNG). In the “List of 100” the surname ranks 23-24.

In the past, the surname could have been spelled differently - Mikitin: in 1671/72 in Krasnoyarsk Sl. (19:1) Mikhail Alekseevich Mikitin, who was born into a peasant family in Sarapul (now in Udmurtia) and became a white-local Cossack, settled with whom his young brothers Andrei and Sergei lived (census 1680); in the village of Mikitushkina (32:1) lived the peasant Ivan Eremeevich Mikitin (census of 1710), perhaps a descendant of the founder of the village and ancestor of the Nikitins in Troitskaya village.

In the village of Cherdynskaya (43:5) lived the peasant Efim (Elfim) Fedorovich Nikitin, in the Kataysky fort (5:1) in the courtyard of the priest of the local church - the peasant Yakov Mironovich Nikitin with his son Andrei (census of 1719).

Toponymic parallels: in the Trinity parish of the Kataysky fort there was the village of Nikitina (6:6, now the village of Nikitinskoye in the Kataysky district of the Kurgan region; mentioned already in the census of 1695, about its founder see: TABATCHIKOV); Nikitina - the former name of the village of Borisova (8:3; census 1719); The village of Nikitina is in Verkhotursky (formerly Zaplatina - see: Smirnov. pp. 268,275-276) and Irbitsky districts, Nikitinka - in the Shalinsky district, Nikitino - in the Verkhnesaldinsky district.

In 1822, in Kamyshlov the surname was borne by a soldier’s widow, in the village of Travyansky by a clergyman, in the Talitsky plant by artisans, in the village of Galkinsky by peasants and a retired soldier, in other places by peasants.

The surname is found everywhere, common in Dalmatovsky (Memory - 27 people), Bogdanovichsky (Memory - 15 people) districts.
