Version 1.
What does the surname Semenov mean? The basis of the surname Semenov was the church name Semen. The surname Semenov originates from the male name Semyon, which is a derivative of the Hebrew church name Simeon, which is translated into Russian as 'heard by God in prayer.' The patron saint of this name is Simeon the God-Receiver. According to legend, on the fortieth day after birth, the Infant Christ was brought by His Mother and Joseph the Betrothed to the Jerusalem Temple. At that time, the righteous old man Simeon lived in Jerusalem. He was announced from God that he would not die until he saw Christ the Savior. According to a suggestion from above, the pious old man came to the temple, and taking the baby in his arms, he said: 'Now you will release your servant, Lord, according to your word, in peace, for your eyes saw your salvation, which you have prepared before all nations, the light to the enlightenment of the Gentiles and the glory of your people Israel. ' The 84-year-old prophetess Anna was in the temple, she also glorified the Lord. So in the person of the last Old Testament righteous Simeon and Anna there was a meeting (meeting) of the departing Old Testament with a more perfect New Testament of Jesus Christ. This day is celebrated and is called the 'Present of the Lord.' Semen, eventually got the name Semenov.

Version 3.
An extensive 'family' of derivatives from the widely spread name for many centuries named Semen, Simeon (from Greek - 'hearing God'). Now patronymics are formed only from the full form of the name.

(F) Senya is also a derivative of Semyon and some other names Aksenty, Arseny (see Arsenyev), Xenophon (see Xenophon). And from Senya - Senyava - Senyavin. However Senyushkin may be from Xenia.

Version 4.

Otduda and surnames went, the son of Ivan - Ivanov, the son of Peter-Petrov, the son of Semyon-Semenov. Many surnames came from old Russian names, and not always harmonious in our ears and ways. But back to the story! You will see the endings ov, yin, ev and ev ... there is a connection between them. Many more examples can be given ... this is purely the end of Russian surnames !!! but such as berg ... ich, the difference is already audible in pronunciation ... Draw conclusions of the Lord, under whom is our Rasseya !!!
