Stoyanov

Stoyanov (Bulgarian: Стоянов), feminine Stoyanova (Bulgarian: Стоянова) is a Bulgarian surname. Sometimes, when abroad, the spelling is changed, for instance, to Stoianov or Estoyanoff.

A migration of Jewish families with the name Stoyanov/Stoianov travelled through north out of Bulgaria. The 19th century saw numerous Ashkenazic Jewish Stoyanov families hide in Russian Orthodoxy while remaining strictly observant within their own homes.
