Tell me, please, is there a rule in the Russian language that applies to patronymics? I found this explanation: “The only correct spelling of the patronymic is the one indicated in the passport/birth certificate. The rules of word formation in the Russian language may not apply to it, as well as to the actual name and surname.”
Rules for the formation and writing of patronymics in the Russian language exist; they can be found in specialized dictionaries and reference books (see, for example, “Dictionary of Russian Personal Names” by A.V. Superanskaya). Another thing is that from some names double forms of patronymics are formed ( Gennadievich And Gennadievich, Daniilovich And Danilovich). In such cases (when options are possible), the only correct spelling of a particular person’s patronymic will be the one indicated in his passport (or birth certificate).
Explain, please, how to correctly form the patronymic from the name “Daniil” - “Daniilovich” or “Danilovich”?
Russian language help desk response
The patronymic from the name _Daniil_ is _Daniilovich_, from the names _Danil, Danila_ - _Danilovich_.
| Question No. 204011 | ||
With the introduction of universal passportization in the 30s, for an unknown reason (most likely - illiteracy), patronymics derived from Slavic names ending in “-slav” began to be written with the endings “-vovich”, “-vovna”, although the traditional spelling and pronunciation for such patronymics “-lich”, “-na” Vladislavlich became VladislaVOVICH Yaroslavna became YaroslavAVOVNA, etc. Maybe it's time to restore the ancient Old Russian spelling and pronunciation. Otherwise, behind this cumbersome ending, the patronymic name itself is quickly spoken and lost - and this is already disrespect, because the point of addressing oneself by the patronymic is to respect its owner.
Russian language help desk response
This is not illiteracy. In accordance with the norms of the Russian literary language, many patronymics are pronounced differently from how they are written. For example, the forms of patronymics _Nikolaevich, Nikolaevna_ are pronounced _Nikolaich, Nikolaevna_ (we emphasize that this is the _norm_ of pronunciation). This pattern also applies to patronymics formed from some non-Russian names, for example _Gustavovich, Gustavovna_ are pronounced _Gustavich, Gustavna_. Passport officers are required to ensure that colloquial forms of middle names do not make their way into official records.
The names you provided are exceptions. From all male names ending in _-slav_, as well as from several names ending in _-v_ and _-il_ (here is a list of them: _Gabriel, Daniel, Ishmael, Samuel, Manuel, Job, Prov_) two forms of patronymics are formed : _Yaroslavovich_ and _Yaroslavich, Daniilovich _ and _Danilovich_. Both options are spelling correct, you just need to make sure that the same form is always used in the documents of one specific person, this is important from a legal point of view.
“We honor old people everywhere...” - wonderful, truly song-like words!
But life is not a song, and this poetic statement does not always coincide with everyday prose. However, the old residents themselves, apparently, are largely to blame: it was not worth dragging into the bright reality of today what is still sometimes called remnants, and sometimes - the legacy of the damned past.
Depending on the circumstances.
Yes, to be honest, there can be no equalization in the distribution of honor: it must be earned, this is high recognition.
But when meeting with Danila Danilovich Nedremov - a representative man of middle retirement age - no doubts even arise.
And whoever of the residents of Zaovrazhye met Danila Danilovich, leisurely walking along the street of Friendship of Peoples to the “raeshnik”, as local wits dubbed the three-story house in Zaovrazhye, where almost all regional institutions were grouped, everyone gave Nedremov a respectful bow. And the women gave a smile or a friendly word.
And although Danila Danilovich’s physique was not his father’s - a lean and long-legged veterinarian - Comrade Nedremov was of moderate height - the significance of his appearance was given by that consciousness of his own dignity, which is most often inherent in people who have lived most of their lives not “anyhow”, but with benefit to society.
So it was: for almost forty years Danila Danilovich carried out prosecutorial supervision on a regional scale. And four times during this time he was elected as a deputy of the Zaovrazhsky District Council.
It's easy to say - forty years!
And after Nedremov was escorted with honor to the “personal room”, a telegraphic greeting of thirty-four words even came from the region! - already on the third day, Danila Danilovich dressed himself up as if he were on the presidium, walked busily to the district executive committee and declared:
I don’t know about others, but Comrade Nedremov is not used to sitting idle on state bread! So... be kind - task.
Yes... this, brothers, is school! - the chairman of the district executive committee said touchingly.
And then it was decided that Danila Danilovich would head the “council of elders,” as someone jokingly dubbed the assistance commission “at”...
But weren’t there such pensioners in the same Zaovrazhye, about whom a malicious aunt, who occupied two positions in the “raeshnik” at once - a courier and a cleaner, said to the driver Vasya: “You, my dear, don’t look that he’s sixty, he still has three the pullets are hanging!”
But about Comrade Nedremov, even the tongue of an enemy would not have uttered this: despite the fact that Danila Danilovich was widowed at less than fifty-four years old, while still a man “anywhere”, when one of the local seductresses - thirty-two-year-old accountant of the regional consumer union Elizaveta Khoroshevich - began to show clearly increased interest in his personality, Danila Danilovich answered Elizabeth, as befits a lawyer, quite reasonably:
I must inform you, Comrade Khoroshevich, that not only by age, but also by the nature of my activity, it is contraindicated for me... well, a frivolous approach, or something, to what in our socialist society is called an act of civil status!
You're a comedian! What does civil status have to do with it?
Especially. And in general, it is more appropriate for people of my age to communicate with women of about forty, forty-two years old...
And since for such figures as Comrade Nedremov, words do not diverge from actions, about a year after the death of his wife, he was legally married for the second time to a woman “about forty-four years old” - widow Tatyana Petrovna Polupudova, who lives in her own house on Druzhby Narodiv Street .
And the incident, which somewhat darkened our hero’s existence filled with socially useful activities, occurred on one of the fine days of August.
The conversation began in the morning on the glassed-in veranda, streaked with sunlight through the ivy. Here in the summer, over a thorough breakfast, the Nedremov spouses every day, after a brief international review, moved on to topics of national and then local importance.
So it is this time.
I wonder where they will send me now?
Danila Danilovich asked his wife this question after the editorial of the regional newspaper “Communists are in the vanguard of the harvest!” was read aloud to them.
We know where: into the furthest behind! - Tatyana Petrovna responded without hesitation. And she added with her heart: “It seems that the man rattled off his conscience, but no: as if, except for Danila Danilovich Nedremov, there is no one to call our dear collective farmers to order!”
Well, it’s you, Tanya, who’s… condensing it. Now people in the countryside, so to speak, have realized it. Take, for example, the current sowing season for the Partisan Glory collective farm: we are eight days ahead of last year. At eight! And the entire spring wedge, mind you, was sown with varietal seeds.
And how much nerves did this wedge cost you, Danila Danilovich? Man went out into the deepest muds of the road, but returned from this “Partisan glory”... Oh, I’m not Comrade Korotkikh!
Tatiana! - Danila Danilovich reproachfully slandered his wife, although her words clearly flattered his pride. The fact is that, even when he was a guardian of the rule of law, Nedremov gained fame as an indispensable “authorized agent.” And no matter what campaign the district leadership involved him in - sowing, or the introduction of modern cereals, or, in which Danila Danilovich was especially proficient, the sale of grain to the state - the farm to which Nedremov provided all possible assistance with guidelines invariably found himself among the leaders of the district.
You are simply irreplaceable, dear comrade Nedremov, in our business! - the chairman of the district executive committee once became emotional, presenting Danila Danilovich with another certificate of commendation.
“Are we... we are, so to speak, performers,” Nedremov responded modestly.
True, his efforts were not always noted with words of praise and diplomas. So, in the same leap year, at the autumn regional activist, one of the speakers - the youngest, precociously wayward chairman of the collective farm "Light of October" Tikhon Krushilin - said the following words to the approving buzz of the audience:
How much can you do?.. After all, every spring we in the district committee, we slam doors at Selkhoztekhnika, but what’s the point?.. Instead of agricultural technical assistance and scarce parts, you only send pushers to our outlying collective farm, like... Davila Davilovich!
And although such public denigration of the district activist Tikhon Krushilin was not in vain, the nickname “Davila Davilovich” turned out to be sticky.
But all this, as they say, is just a saying...
...After breakfast, Danila Danilovich, according to the established routine, personally trotted millet to a family of purebred leghorns - eight laying hens, eleven pullets and a samovar-worthy rooster Spiridon - walked around the garden, where he propped up two branches of the apple tree, heavy with fruits, with poles - the harvest was in full swing ! - and only after that he slowly directed his steps along the public path.
The precursor was not there.
Vasily Vasilyevich moved to Nizhnye Pestruny. With Finn. “They are opening a point there today,” Nedremov’s secretary Nyurka Torchkova, a cheeky girl in a temptingly short skirt, with a whole ridge of hair on her head, told Nedremov.
Fashion - it’s fashion in Zaovrazhye too!
What other point?
Savings. Mary Vasilievna will go there. On Wednesdays and Saturdays.
Well, it’s a useful thing,” Nedremov approved of the idea.
Didn’t Vasily Vasilyevich ask about me?
No. They weren't interested in you.
For some reason, the words “they were not interested in you” seemed inappropriate to Nedremov.
Danila Danilovich was alarmed by the situation in the district party committee: silence, all the windows were wide open, light music was playing from the loudspeaker.
Where are the people? - he asked the elderly teacher Klavdia Vasilievna Sukhonina, who replaced the technical secretary during the vacation.
No people. Kirill Mikhailovich set everyone up at the elevator. They don’t seem to have time to fill out the documents there.
Where are you?
At home. But also - Vasya already called.
The secretary of the district committee, Kirill Mikhailovich Korotkikh, a short, boomingly bass-voiced, curly-haired fellow out of position, a recent graduate of the Petrovsko-Razumov Academy, greeted Nedremov, as always, cordially:
Salam to Danila Danilovich!.. Did you have any hiccups this morning?
What is it?
Vasily Vasilyevich and I remembered you... excuse me, excuse me - on what matter?
It’s clear why. Obviously, “Partisan Glory” again. Or "Dawn"?
What exactly?
Well, they are holding back the wheat. People are hunting, they are hunting! And if I were you, Comrade Korotkikh, I would take a closer look at Lobachev! This year he has grain, according to the most minimal estimates...
So “Slava” has already taken out more than eighty percent,” interrupted Danila Danilovich Korotkikh. - And we promised to provide “Rassvet” with three cars from the regional ones to help, but here... And the devil pulled me by the tongue! And you know what he is, Matvey Petrovich - a persistent guy!
“Yeah,” Nedremov chuckled, as it seemed to his interlocutor, dissatisfied. - So where?
What - where?
Well, where necessary... this is the very thing...
Oh, that's what you're talking about! - The secretary of the district committee laughed inappropriately. But he immediately caught himself: “We are very grateful to you, dear comrade Nedremov, for your, so to speak, vigilance, but...” Korotkikh eloquently spread his hands. - For now, there is no need for “this very thing.”
So-so... - Although Korotkikh spoke to Danila Danilovich in a friendly manner, Nedremov sensed mockery in the secretary’s words. Therefore, he said with emphasized significance: “The legend is fresh, but hard to believe!”
Please admire,” Korotkikh handed Nedremov a sheet of paper lying in front of him. - Not a bulletin, but a song: I planted the kindergarten myself, I will clean it myself!
So, everything... by herself? - Danila Danilovich, as if taking aim, squinted one eye.
Is it bad? And besides... This year our brother is recommended to refrain from... - Korotkikh expressively pressed his thumb to the tabletop. - By comprene? - as the French say.
Nedremov did not respond immediately. He slowly rose from his chair, carefully straightened the brim of his hat, then said:
We are comprene! Although they are not French, they are all comprene! Only... When the question is about providing agricultural products to factories and factories, hospitals, schools and orphanages, the party has no right to rely on gravity!
Right. I, too... read newspapers.
Korotkikh rose from the table and looked into Nedremov’s face with what seemed to Danila Danilovich to be an inappropriately cheerful sympathy.
In general, if you want to clear your head, let’s go...
In Clara Zetkin. Vasily Trofimovich is planning a celebration there today. In two and a half months, the shabatniks from Transcarpathia erected a club for him: three hundred and twenty meters of usable space, and the entire construction crew was six people! This is what our Selkhozstroy should think about. Well, how about we wave?
Thank you.
Are you offended?
It would be worth it.
And really: what offense could there be?
It’s a wonderful day, there’s a real bustle on Druzhby Narodiv Street: pioneers are marching somewhere with shovels to the drum, girls painters are bawling mischievous ditties at the school, a smart “opera” is rattling along the side of the road on a motorcycle with a sidecar...
And as for cars, cars...
Grain flows into the elevator in a continuous flow. This year has been a great harvest, and the weather is pushing the grain growers: how long will it last - a bucket?
But Danila Danilovich doesn’t even notice the festive bustle. He walks along a path he has walked and walked for forty years and has only recently been asphalted, where before his eyes, as if competing with the poplars, three- and four-story buildings have risen into the air, he walks, as always, firmly and measuredly tapping his steps, but...
There is no such dignity in a person today.
And nothing makes him happy.
Quite the contrary.
And who, I wonder, will clean up after you? - Poking with a stick at the panel stained with mortar in front of the school, Nedremov irritably asks one of the girls - a plasterer who happened to be in his way with an empty bucket.
The girl stares at Danila Danilovich with her naively roguish eyes for a while, puzzled, then turns to the school and shouts:
Hey, foreman!
What do you want? - responds an older worker.
Throw a rag, otherwise the serious guy here is afraid to get his shoes dirty.
Oh, how Danila Danilovich wanted to grab the girl by the fluffy cowlick that had escaped from under her faded beret and - “here you go!” It is for you!" - But…
It's their own fault: they've spoiled it to their own advantage...
And suddenly…
Danila Danilych!.. Danila Danilych!..
The executive committee secretary Nyurka Torchkova, who has caught up with Nedremov, looks almost with delight at his frowning face.
Wow, I finally caught you, God bless. It flew right out of my head: just last night he punished me... well, who arrived from the regional committee. Such an interesting surname...
Lushpendin?
He! He is! Would Comrade Nedremov agree to lead...
Lead what?
What a memory, just like an old woman’s! - Nyurka blinked her eyelashes with concern. - Some kind of commission, I remember: a commission to check execution, a commission...
Chi, chi!.. And where is he now - Comrade Lushpendin?
They meet in Vasilyevich’s office.
It’s amazing how good news can not only affect a person’s mood, but also change a person’s appearance.
In literally just a minute, before Nyurka’s eyes, Danila Danilovich simply looked ten years younger: he seemed to be taller, his shoulders straightened, and his face brightened.
However, in words he showed not so much dissatisfaction, but... a claim, or something...
I knew it! Is it really possible, Comrade Torchkova, that you didn’t find a person in your entire executive committee to... lead?
There are people, but not everyone can be trusted.
What is clear?
However, how can people like Nyurka or the plasterer who offended Danila Danilovich understand what it means for a person who has devoted decades of his life to socially useful activities to suddenly feel, as they say, “out of work.”
Of course, every pensioner is pleased with the words - “we honor old people everywhere,” but old people are different from old people, and it’s boring for some old people to live on the same honor!
According to current legislation, parents have the right to give their child any name, even if its spelling does not comply with the rules. Therefore, today we should separate the grammatically correct spelling and the actual name of the person, which is written in the passport. In modern dictionaries you can find three variants of the name: Daniel, Danil and Danila.
Right
Daniel, Danil or Danila?
Daniel– the most popular variant of the name, which meets all literary standards. Accordingly, the patronymic from this form of the name is also written with two “i”.
Daniilovich, Danilovna– correct spelling of the patronymic from the form of the name “Daniil”.
Danil– also the correct spelling, but in some dictionaries it is noted as a colloquial form of the name “Daniil”. In fact, it is the second most popular form of name recorded in a passport.
Danilovich, Danilovna– writing a patronymic from the name “Danil” with one letter “i”.
Danila- this form of the name is marked as colloquial in most dictionaries, but is actually used when naming children. Therefore, in modern language it is the third most popular.
Danilovich, Danilovna– the spelling of the patronymic from the form of the name “Danila” coincides with the spelling of the patronymic from the name “Danil”.
With Danil or Danila?
As for the name itself, and for its forms during declension, dictionaries give various options.
Danilo, Danilo– most dictionaries recommend writing the instrumental case of the name ending in “-ом”. The spelling “and” is preserved according to the initial form of the name.
I'm going for a walk with Daniil (Danil).
Daniil (Danil) and I did a lot of work.
Danila, Danila– some dictionaries allow the instrumental case of the name “Danila” to be written with the ending in “-ой” or “оу”. In colloquial language, such forms are often used in relation to any form of a name.
He could walk with Danila for days on end.
Danila and I will go to the cinema today.
Daniilovich or Danilych?
Daniilovich, Danilovic– correct spellings of the patronymic from the forms of the names “Daniil” and “Danil”, respectively. The spelling of patronymics is also recorded in Russian language dictionaries.
Danilych- an exclusively colloquial form of patronymic that cannot be used in formal written or spoken speech. Can be found in fiction to convey a conversational style of speech.
