The Sheremetev family ((ロシア語:Шереме́тевы)) was one of the wealthiest and most influential noble families of Russia.〔Orlando Figes, ''Natasha's Dance, a cultural history of Russia'', pp. 20-27.〕 The family held many high commanding ranks in the Russian military, governorships and eventually the rank of Count of the Russian Empire. Notable members of the family include: * Yelena Sheremeteva, third wife of Tsarevich Ivan Ivanovich (1554–1581), son of Ivan the Terrible. * Count Boris Sheremetev (1652–1719) military leader and diplomat during the Great Northern War * Count Pyotr Borisovich Sheremetev (1713—1788) son of Boris; courtier and noted patron of Russian theater * Princess Natalia Borisovna Dolgorukova, daughter of Boris and wife of Prince Ivan Dolgorukov * Count Nikolai Petrovich Sheremetev (1751–1809) son of Pyotr; noted patron of Russian theater * Praskovia Kovalyova-Zhemchugova, a serf woman belonging to the Sheremetev family, who became an actress in the Sheremetev Serf Theatre and later married Nikolai Sheremetev * Count Aleksandr Dmitriyevich Sheremetev (1859–1931) grandson of Nikolai and son of Dmitri; conductor, composer and entrepreneur * Count Pierre Sheremetev, noted patron of the Conservatoire Rachmaninoff in Paris The village of Sheremetevo, which in turn gave name to the Sheremetyevo International Airport, is named after the family.〔(Парк Останкино )〕 ==Etymology== Russian surnames are gender sensitive, the masculine form of the name being ''Sheremetev'' (''Шереметев'') and the feminine being rendered as ''Sheremeteva'' (''Шереметева''). Two theories as to the origin of the surname obtain, both of which indicate a Tatar and eastern origin for the family. One theory proposes that the name originated with the Turkic Chuvash language word ''sheremet'' (''шеремет''), meaning "poor man," while the other theory suggests that the name originates with the Tatar/Turkic-Persian ''shir Akhmat,'' which literally translates to "Tiger Ahmet" and can be read as both "brave Ahmet" and "Pious Ahmet." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sheremetev」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
