I know that in Russia and other eastern European countries, babies are given a middle name that is the derivative of their father's first name.  \n\nExample: Father's name is Mark, Male child's middle name will be Markovich, female child's middle name will be Markovna..      \n\nWhy? It may have started in order to honor the father, or better yet, identify the father of the children!

I have a Lithuanian friend wih a surname like that, but I think it's Pikita. Lithuania and Russia were closely linked for a long time, so it's probably related somehow.

Petrova is Slavic in origin (the family of languages that includes Russian, Ukrainian, and others).  The -ov suffix denotes kinship, and the "a" feminine gender, so "Daughter of Peter."  The Petr- stem goes back to the Greek "petra" meaning "rock" (as in "petrify").
