Smirnov (masculine, russian: Смирнов) or Smirnova (feminine, russian: Смирнова, link=no) is one of the two most common surnames in Russia. ''Smirnov'' (russian: Смирнов, link=no) is derived from an adjectival nickname ''smirnyj'' (russian: смирный, link=no; in archaic form ''smirnoy'', russian: смирной, link=no), that means "quiet, still, peaceful, gentle".
