Miheev Surname Meaning

User-submitted Reference

The surname Mikheev belongs to a large group of Russian hereditary names formed from the personal name of a father or grandfather. The Christian faith brought with it some new names, which were included in the church calendar and were used during a baptism. These include the name of Mikhey (in Hebrew - Micah), the short form of the name Mikhail (Michael). The names Micah and Michael have the same meaning of 'godlike', but in the Orthodox calendar each of them exists independently.
