Ivanovich
Son of Ivan
Ivanovich is a Russian patronymic meaning "son of Ivan," used as a middle name following the given name and preceding the family surname.
In Russian naming conventions, men receive patronymics ending in -ovich or -evich, while women receive -ovna or -evna.
When addressing someone formally in Russian, one uses the first name plus patronymic rather than the surname: Dmitri Ivanovich, may I speak with you?
