Most Russian surnames end in ов for men and ова for women. Their Patronymic middle names also change depending on sex. So a man named Ivan whose father’s name was Nikolai and surname is Fedotov would be: Ivan Nikolaevich Fedotov (Иван Николаевич Федотов) While his sister, Irina, would be: Irina Nikolaevna Fedotova (Ирина Николаевна Федотова) If you wanted to talk about their family as a whole their surname would become plural with a y at the end. Fedotovy (Федотовы)
