Abrikosov
Abrikosov (Russian: Абрикосов; masculine) or Abrikosova (Russian: Абрикосова; feminine) is a Russian surname.[1] It derives from the Russian word "абрикос" (abrikos), meaning apricot.[1]
The line of Abrikosovs began with the Penza peasant Semyon Nikolayev, who migrated to Moscow in 1802 and later opened a confectionery plant there.[1] As he started his business with importing and selling fruit (including apricots), he petitioned, and in 1814 was allowed, to change his surname to Abrikosov.[1]
