Fomichevo

Fomichevo is a Russian surname. It is typically a patronymic, meaning it is derived from a male ancestor's given name. In this case, it is derived from a diminutive form of the Russian given name Foma (Thomas). The suffix "-evo" indicates "belonging to" or "descendant of." Therefore, Fomichevo literally translates to "belonging to Foma" or "descendant of Foma." It signifies that the person bearing this surname is a descendant of someone named Foma or a related nickname. Surnames ending in "-evo," "-ovo," or "-ino" are common in Russian genealogy and often denote origin from a specific ancestor or geographic location connected to that ancestor. The spelling can vary in transliteration from Cyrillic (Фомичёво), leading to alternate spellings in English.
