The name Naryshkin is of uncertain origin, but it is possible that it derives from the Lithuanian word "narys" which signifies "the joint of a finger or limb" as a nickname surname for an original bearer, who had large joints or limbs. Alternatively, Naryshkin may be derived from the Polish word "narys" which means "drawing or sketch," as an occupational name for someone who had a particular interest in art. Finally, some suggest that Naryshkin may be a variant of Mashikin or Maryashkin, which are matronymic surnames (derived their origin from the personal name of the mother of the initial bearer) from the female personal name Mary or Miriam.
