User-submitted Reference

The surname Bartsev is probably a Russified version of the German surname Bartz. It, in turn, is formed from the nickname Bartz, which, according to one version, goes back to the German word bart, that is, 'beard', 'mustache'. Most likely, Bartz was called the owner of a long and lush mustache. Mustaches and beards in the old days was considered a sign of 'adulthood' and masculinity.

According to another hypothesis, the nickname originates from the word barte (carpenter's ax). In this case, it refers to the so-called 'professional' naming conventions, containing an indication of a person's occupation.

It is less likely that the surname Bartsev is derived from the Hebrew name Bartalameo, which translates as 'furrow', 'track', 'gutter', 'deep wrinkle'.
