Etymology of Beketov

The name Beketov is a patronymic surname formed by adding one of the many Russian suffixes, such as "-ov" and "-ovic" to the personal name Bek. This name may have been derived from the Polish word "bek," the English equivalent of which is "baa." The name was originally a nickname, perhaps for someone with a bleating voice, or perhaps for someone labeled unintelligent by others.
