Azhnakin (Russian: Ажна́кин; masculine) or Azhnakina (Ажна́кина; feminine) is a Russian last name.[1] A variant of this last name is Azhnin/Azhnina (Ажни́н/Ажнина).[1]
It derives from a patronymic which itself is derived from the nicknames "Ажнака" (Azhnaka) and "Ажня" (Azhnya), which was given to people who overused the word "ажно" (azhno), meaning even, so.[1] It may also be related to the dialectal word "ажнок" (azhnok), meaning a Great Russian from the south, especially from Kaluga.[1]
