Ryabokon

Ryabokon is a Ukrainian surname. It is a relatively uncommon surname. Surnames in Ukraine often have roots in occupations, nicknames, or geographical locations. The specific etymology of "Ryabokon" is not widely documented in readily accessible genealogical databases, but surname construction often provides clues to possible origins.

The components of the name likely derive from:

• "Ryabyi" (рябий) - Meaning speckled, mottled, or pockmarked. This could refer to someone with a complexion marked by spots, freckles, or past illness.
• "Kon" (кон) - This is a less clear element. It could be a shortened or altered form of a word relating to "horse" (kin), "end" (konets), or other possible meanings depending on historical dialectal variations and usages. Without further research, the specific intent is unclear.

Therefore, a possible (though speculative) interpretation is that the name originally referred to someone associated with a horse having a speckled coat, or someone who lived at the edge of a particular location. More detailed genealogical research and etymological analysis would be required to determine the precise origin and meaning of the surname Ryabokon.
