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 basis for the surname Nikitin was church name. 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, Participant I 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.
