Larinsky

Larinsky is a surname of Eastern European origin, most likely of Russian or Ukrainian derivation. It's a patronymic surname, meaning it was originally derived from a male given name. The suffix "-sky" is a common Slavic suffix used to denote "of" or "belonging to." Thus, Larinsky likely originally meant "of or belonging to Larion," or "son of Larion."

The given name Larion is a variant of Hilarion, which is of Greek origin (ἱλαρός, hilaros) and means "cheerful" or "joyful."

Therefore, the surname Larinsky signifies descent from or association with someone named Larion/Hilarion, or a place associated with that person. As surnames often evolved over time, variations in spelling and pronunciation might exist across different families and regions. Historical records would be necessary to trace the specific origin and lineage of a particular Larinsky family.
