Averkiyev
Averkiyev (Russian: Аверкиев; masculine) or Averkiyeva (Russian: Аверкиева; feminine) is a Russian last name. Variants of this last name include Averin/Averina (Аверин/Аверина) and Averyanov/Averyanova (Аверьянов/Аверьянова).
They all derive from the Russian male first name Averky (or its derivative forms Avera and Averyan), which used to be common in the past. The name supposedly derives from a Latin verb meaning to put to flight. The following people share this last name:
