Abstract

Objective

This paper examines the consequences of migration and other demographic processes for Ukraine's population through the analysis of surname distribution.

Materials and Methods

The dataset included 697 147 surnames of 46 431 365 residents of Ukraine in 2001. The research methodology follows the approach of I. Barrai and applies the indicator CRSED proposed by J. Chen to assess the diversity of surnames in 25 regions of Ukraine in the context of historical population dynamics.

Results

A comparison of surname frequency distributions across regions reveals greater cultural and demographic stability in areas with high CRSED values. Low CRSED values correspond to regions with extensive and diverse immigration accompanied by high levels of migrant assimilation.

Discussion

The distribution of surnames in Ukraine reflects the influence of historical events, including colonization, industrialization, armed conflicts, and political transformations. The application of isonymy and CRSED indices enables the detection of underlying demographic and social processes that have shaped the modern population structure. The study offers new insights into the historical development of Ukraine's population and provides guidance for population policy planning.

基于姓氏分布的乌克兰人口结构

目的本文通过对姓氏分布的分析，考察了迁移和其他人口统计过程对乌克兰人口的影响。资料与方法数据集包括2001年乌克兰46 431 365名居民的697 147个姓氏。研究方法遵循Barrai的方法，并采用陈杰提出的CRSED指标，在历史人口动态背景下评估乌克兰25个地区的姓氏多样性。结果跨地区姓氏频率分布的比较表明，在CRSED值高的地区，文化和人口稳定性更高。低的CRSED值对应于广泛和多样化的移民伴随着高水平的移民同化的地区。乌克兰姓氏的分布反映了历史事件的影响，包括殖民、工业化、武装冲突和政治变革。同义性和CRSED指数的应用能够发现形成现代人口结构的潜在人口和社会进程。该研究为乌克兰人口的历史发展提供了新的见解，并为人口政策规划提供了指导。

期刊介绍： The American Journal of Human Biology is the Official Journal of the Human Biology Association. The American Journal of Human Biology is a bimonthly, peer-reviewed, internationally circulated journal that publishes reports of original research, theoretical articles and timely reviews, and brief communications in the interdisciplinary field of human biology. As the official journal of the Human Biology Association, the Journal also publishes abstracts of research presented at its annual scientific meeting and book reviews relevant to the field. The Journal seeks scholarly manuscripts that address all aspects of human biology, health, and disease, particularly those that stress comparative, developmental, ecological, or evolutionary perspectives. The transdisciplinary areas covered in the Journal include, but are not limited to, epidemiology, genetic variation, population biology and demography, physiology, anatomy, nutrition, growth and aging, physical performance, physical activity and fitness, ecology, and evolution, along with their interactions. The Journal publishes basic, applied, and methodologically oriented research from all areas, including measurement, analytical techniques and strategies, and computer applications in human biology. Like many other biologically oriented disciplines, the field of human biology has undergone considerable growth and diversification in recent years, and the expansion of the aims and scope of the Journal is a reflection of this growth and membership diversification. The Journal is committed to prompt review, and priority publication is given to manuscripts with novel or timely findings, and to manuscripts of unusual interest.
