Did you know, that my family (Kotova) means something kinda “related to cats” or “belonged to cats”, because “Kot” in my family means “cat”, and postfix “ova”(for a male second name it would be “ov” (“Kotov”)) so as "yn"/"yna" usually means something like “this part of word before”+ belonging or relating. For example, second name “Petrov”/"Petrova" can be “translated” as “Peter’s”, or “Ptitsyn"/"Ptitsyna" - as “Bird’s”(Russian word “Ptitsa” translated as “bird”). I hope it was interesting for you!🐾🐾🐾
