Neznamova Surname Meaning
User-submitted Reference
The surname Neznamova is formed from the nickname Neznan, a person who does not remember the place of origin (for example, a tramp, traveler). Especially often, such nicknames were found in the Ural, Siberia: a lot of people hid from penal servitude or exile, who for obvious reasons did not want to give their real name.
However, there is another hypothesis of the origin of this surname. So, it cannot be ruled out that it is based on the 'protective' name Neznan, which was given to the child in order to protect him from evil spirits. This name is associated with an ancient rite: the father or grandfather carried the sick child out of the hut and after a while brought it back, calling it not with the old name, but with Neznan: letting the demons hear that this is another child and they must leave him alone.
