Ogiyenko Explained

Ogiyenko (Russian: Огие́нко) is a Russian last name, a variant of Ageyev.^[1] However, unlike "Ageyev", which derives from the first name Aggey, this last name, as well as its variant Ogishin (masculine)/Ogishina (feminine) (Russian: Оги́шин/Russian: Оги́шина), derive either from the first name "Ogiy" (Ukrainian: Огiй), which is the Ukrainian form of "Aggey", or from its derivative "Ogisha".
