The basis of the Kulikov surname was the worldly name Kulik. The worldly name Kulik has its origin in a similar name for a small marsh bird with long legs. Prior to the introduction of Christianity in Russia, naming a child with a name representing the name of an animal or plant was a very common tradition. This corresponded to the pagan ideas of man about the world. Old Russian man, living according to the laws of nature, himself represented himself as part of it. Giving the baby a name like Kulik, the parents wanted nature to perceive the child as their own, so that the useful qualities that the chosen representative of the animal world would have passed on to him. According to another version, the surname Kulikov comes from the nickname Kulik, which could be given to a long-legged person (in appearance similar to a sandpiper). The surname Kulikov is very ancient. So, in the 'Onomasticon' of Academician S. B. Veselovsky there are related names: Kulik Kotok, a peasant of the Semenovsky Pogost (1495); peasant Stepan Kulikov (1539); Matvey Ivanov, son of Kulikov, guarantor for the boyars (1571); Novgorod landowners Kulikov (end of the XV century).
