Name Meaning

There are several versions of the origin of the surname. Most likely, it is formed from the nickname «Kukla» («Doll» in English). So they could call a person who, for example, made or sold dolls or had something similar in appearance. In addition, in the Pskov dialect, kukla is «linen in a bundle», and artisans called in this way a blank, a form. According to another version, the surname could come from the word kuklya/kukol, which in the old days meant «bashlyk, hood» or a shirt with such a hood. People who wore such clothes could get this nickname. Later, the suffix -in joined it; it is traditional in the formation of surnames from nicknames ending in a vowel.

Most of bearers of the surname are in Russia, especially in the Kirov and Irkutsk Regions and in the Republic of Mari El. Also, the surname is often found in Kazakhstan and in the USA.

It appears in written sources in the middle of the 16th century: in 1551, Tver landowners Ivan Aleksandrovich Kuklin, Nekras Aleksandrovich Kuklin, and Rodion Fyodorovich Kuklin were mentioned in documents. In the 1630s, Trofim Kuklin lived in Ustyug, and in 1698, foreman Savva Kuklin and strelets Mikhail Vladimirovich Kuklin were listed in the official papers.
