Akinshin

Akinshin is a Russian surname. It is derived from the given name Akinfiy (Акинфий), a Russian form of the Greek name Hyacinthus (Ὑάκινθος). The suffix "-in" is a common Russian patronymic suffix, indicating "belonging to" or "descendant of." Therefore, Akinshin roughly translates to "son of Akinfiy" or "descendant of Akinfiy."

The surname, like many Russian surnames, is prevalent in Russia and among diaspora communities with Russian origins. Variations in spelling may exist due to transliteration differences.
