Zubakov

Zubakov (Russian: Зубаков) is a Russian surname. It is derived from the word "zub" (зуб), meaning "tooth" in Russian. Surnames derived from physical characteristics, nicknames, or professions were common in the formation of Russian surnames. The suffix "-ov" is a common Russian patronymic suffix, indicating "belonging to" or "descendant of." Therefore, Zubakov likely originated as a surname given to the descendants of someone who had prominent teeth, was a dentist (though this is less common), or perhaps someone known for biting or aggression. The surname is most frequently found in Russia and countries of the former Soviet Union.
