Bakunin

Bakunin (; masculine) or Bakunina (; feminine) is a Russian last name.
There are two theories regarding the origins of this last name. According to the first one, it is a variety of the last name Abakumov, which is derived from a patronymic, itself derived from various forms of the Christian male first name Avvakum. However, it is also possible that this last name is related to the last name Bakulin, both of which derive from dialectal Russian words "" ("bakunya") and "" ("bakulya"), meaning, depending on the dialect, "chatterbox", "talkative person" or "agile, business-like person".
