The history of the origin of the surname Soloviev.

In the first hundred of the most common Russian surnames, ten originate from the names of birds, or rather, from nicknames associated with singing and chirping birds. So, the modern Solovyovs in their ancestors definitely had a man with an amazing voice, singing like a nightingale. This nickname, by the way, without any changes became the name of the Nightingale. In the same 'bird's nest': Soloveichik, Soloveichikov, Solovushkin, Solovyikhin, Solovyanenko. It is curious that the famous contemporary composer Aedonitsky is Solovyov's 'namesake', since his last name is from those seminary ones that were created artificially for harmony and some mystery by direct translation of simple Russian surnames into Greek.
