Gerojev (Geroev in
Gerojev (Geroev in russian) is old East-Karelian
surname and it is related such places as Vohtozero and Munozero (Spasskaja
Guba). The name Gerojev means "Son of a hero". My own relatives left from
Karelia (accurate place was Rotcezero, in finnish Ruotsjarvi) back in years
1919 - 1920 when revolution and all that disorder in Russian was in itґs
worst and they became refugees of Karelia. Finally they escaped purges
of Stalin to Suojarvi in 1932 and chanced their names to finnish form.
One Gerojev also relocated to Suistamo. Back in 1939 they had to
leave again (now by the cause of WWII) and moved to center parts of Finland.
This is my story of that name and I hope all Gerojevґs all over Karelia
can tell me something new about their own history. For now the name
Gerojev does not exist anymore in here Finland, but in Russia (Karelia)
there is still allmost one hundred people named Gerojev. They are located
in Petrozavodozk, Kondopoga and other parts of modern Karelia.If you do have any information about name Gerojev,
