Een veelvoorkomend einde van een achternaam in Slavische landen. Ovic staat voor “zoon van”.
“These names are always middle names or “patronymics”. Russians are given only their first name. their second name is the first name of their father plus the suffix -ovich (sometimes -evich) if they are males and -ovna (sometimes -evna) if they are female. Boris Ivanovich is Boris, the son of Ivan, and Marisa Borisovna is Marisa, the daughter of Boris.”
