ArchivesRe: Russian version of 'Winter'
in reply to a message by FVLBKH
Russian for winter is zima, and a surname from this is Zimin (masculine form), Zimina (feminine form). This would mean '(son) of Zima', whether a baptismal name or nickname, male name or female name, I couldn't say. There is also a surname Zimenkov, from zima.

Just a little more info on the word Zima. Zima itself is a surname as well. There are 3 actresses named Madeline, Vanessa, and Yvonne with the surname Zima. Her surname means "winter" in Polish, her paternal grandfather is from Poland. They are both Slavic however so share the same root word. A little side note. :)
