Ogurtsov (Russian: Огурцов; masculine) or Ogurtsova (Огурцо́ва; feminine) is a Russian last name.[1] Possibly a variant of the last name Agureyev, it might also be a derivative from the nickname "Огурец" (Ogurets), which literally means cucumber.[1] This possibility, however, is discounted by some researchers.[2]
