Meaning & origin
(measured from records)Quadratus; see Carr£) , which was acceptable as a baptis¬ mal name in the eyes of the Orthodox Church because it was the name of several early saints. However, the -n- can only be explained by derivation from the Gmc name Kon¬ rad (Pol. Kondrat); there has clearly been some confusion between the two names. In the Russ, name, the final -i is an example of hypercorrection; it was added after the pat¬ tern of Gk names in -ios, which lost the vowel in the popu¬ lar forms but retained it in a learned form. Var.: Kondratov. Dims.: Kondrakov, Kondrushkin, Kondrashov, dryukhov, Kand(r)eev, Kondrichev (all patrs.). Kon- ‘Son of the wife of K. (dim.)’: Kondrashikhin.
