Agibalov

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Agibalov (Russian: Агиба́лов; masculine) or Agibalova (Агиба́лова; feminine) is a Russian last name.[1] Variants of this surname include Ogibalov/Ogibalova (Огиба́лов/Огиба́лова) and Ogibenin/Ogibenina (Огибе́нин/Огибе́нина).[1]

All these surnames derive from the nicknames "Огибало" (Ogibalo) - or "Агибало" (Agibalo) in dialects with akanye - and "Огибеня" (Ogibenya).[1] The nicknames were in turn derived from the dialectal words "огибала" (ogibala), meaning a sycophant, a flatterer, a trickster, and "огибенить" (ogibenit), meaning to deceive, to swindle.[1] The following people bear this surname:

  • Irina Agibalova, a contestant on Dom-2, a Russian reality TV show
  • V. I. Agibalov, one of the designers of the statue to Vladimir Lenin in Vynnitsia, Ukraine
