thumb|Ignatyev Imperial Russian noble family
'''Ignatyev''', '''Ignatiev''', or '''Ignatieff''' ({{langx|ru|Игнатьев}}; masculine) or '''Ignatyeva''' ({{lang|ru|Игнатьева}}; feminine) is a Russian surname derived from the name [Ignatius](/source/Ignatius), in Russian, Ignatiy/Ignaty. In the [Imperial Russia](/source/Imperial_Russia) the Ignatievs noble family was established sometimes in the 17th century as a cadet branch of the Pleshchevs family from [Chernihiv](/source/Chernihiv) (Czernihów). Along with Pleshchevs, the Ignatievs family takes its roots from a [Muscovite](/source/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow) boyar Theodore Biakont who emigrated from Chernihiv to [Moscow](/source/Moscow) sometime in the 14th century, see [Alexius, Metropolitan of Kiev](/source/Alexius%2C_Metropolitan_of_Kiev).
