Morozovs

The Morozovs (Russian: Морозовы) is a famous Old Believers Russian family of merchants and entrepreneurs. The family name Morozov originates from a Russian word moroz (мороз) that means frost.[1] The founder of the family was Savva Vasilyevich Morozov (1770–1862).[2] He had five sons and a daughter, Varvara Savvichna Morozova.[3]
