Thread: Is my last name Russian?

Since I'm in college now many people ask me if my name is Russian and are often surprised since I am hispanic.

My last name is Yeverino. Is this a russian name?
I don't know much about my history except my mom's side is totally hispanic mexican/brazilian. i do know however that my dad's side has ancestors that came from eastern europe long ago, into spain and then into mexico.

No

Are these last names russian Chamulak, Nockein, if not possibly from where?

The endings of russian last names are -ов(а),-ев(а),-ёв(а), -ин(а), -ын(а), -they mean "of" like Ivanov is "of Ivan" (family), -ский/-ская - means "came from" - Vladimirskiy - came from a town Vladimir. These are only the Russians most common last name endings but may be I've missed some rare of them.

It could be a variation of Severino which is Spanish/Latin

Julia is right, Severino is a very common name in Brazil, though I've never seen it used as a surname.
