User-submitted Reference
Version 1. What does the surname Zakharov mean.
The basis of the surname Zakharov was the church name Zakhary. The surname Zakharov was formed from the baptismal name Zachary (translated from Hebrew - 'joy; memory of God'). This name was one of the twelve younger prophets mentioned in the Bible. He wrote the famous Old Testament book, which contained many prophecies about the Mission. It is known that St. Zechariah died a violent death, killed by the Jews for his revealing sermon. The Slavs believed that if you give the child the name of a saint or a great martyr, his life will be bright, good or difficult, because there is an invisible connection between the name and destiny of a person. Some of the Zakharovs are descendants of an untitled Russian noble family, the coat of arms of which is in the fifth and eighth parts of the 'General Tombstone of the noble families of the Russian Empire. Among the famous owners of the surname are the architect Andreyan Dmitrievich Zakharov (1761-1811), who designed the building of the Admiralty in St. Petersburg, the cathedral in Kronstadt and the composer Vladimir Grigoryevich Zakharov (1901-1956), the musical director of the Pyatnitsky choir. Zakhary, eventually got the name Zakharov.
Version 2.
This common surname is formed from the baptismal name Zechariah - the memory of the Lord (other Heb.). Hence the family names: Zakharkin, Zakhariev, Zakharyin. Zakharyins - the Russian boyar clan of the XV — XVI centuries. By the beginning of the XVI century. divided into two branches: Zakharyin-Yakovlev and Zakharyin-Yuryev. From the latter went the Romanovs - the tsarist and imperial dynasty of Russia. Anastasia Romanova, the first wife of Ivan the Terrible, an extraordinary beauty and, it seems, the autocrat's only love, came from the same kind.
