    Patronimic name is not a family name, this is a derivative form from the farther's first name and placed after the person's first name:

    John Jamesovich Doe
    Mary Jamesovna Roe

    This is not specific for Russia / Ukraine only, AFAIK Lithuinians and Turks have similar concepts:

    Iolanta Jameso Doekaite
    Guzel James-kyzy Roe

    "Россия для русских" - это неправильно. Остальные-то чем лучше?

    Maybe I misunderstood Jim then... I read it as he wanted to use that as a last name for his kids... my bad.
    I only speak two languages, English and bad English.
