Those Russian surnames that end with -ov/-ev or -in/-yn are originally patronymic or metronymic possessive adjectivals with the meaning 'son of' or 'daughter/wife of' (the feminine is formed with the -a ending – Smirnova, Ivanova, etc.). In older documents such surnames were written with the word syn 'son', for example, Ivánov syn 'John's son' or Il'yín syn 'Elijah's son'; the last word was later dropped. Such names are roughly equivalent to the English or Welsh surnames Richardson or Richards.

The Russian equivalent of 'Smith', 'Jones', and 'Brown' (that is, the generic most often used surnames) are Ivanov, Petrov, Sidorov, or 'Johns', 'Peters', and 'Isidores', although Sidorov is now ranked only 66th.^[14]

Sri Lanka

See also: Sinhalese name

Many of the low country Sinhalese have Portuguese surnames as a result of Portuguese colonial rule in that area during the 16th and 17th centuries. Sinhalese native surnames have a Sanskrit origin. Tamils, Sri Lankan Moors and Sri Lankan Malays have distinctive surnames for their own ethnicities.

Many Sinhalese surnames end with Singhe (Sinhala: සිංහ, lit. 'lion'), such as Jayasinghe, Ranasinghe, Samarasinghe.

Thailand

See also: Thai name

There are no common Thai surnames. Surnames were largely introduced to Thai culture only by the 1913 Surname Act.^[16] The law does not allow one to create any surname that is duplicated with any existing surnames.^[17] Under Thai law, only one family can create any given surname: any two people of the same surname must be related, and it is very rare for two people to share the same full name. In one sample of 45,665 names, 81% of family names were unique.^[18]
