As time goes on it gets increasingly annoying that out of deference to tradition they keep saying Black Widow's real name is "Natasha Romanoff" and not Natalya Romanova (I mean in-universe I doubt she gives a shit, considering she doesn't remember her parents, but still)

"Romanov" could in theory be a patronymic that stuck as a family name in ancient times (son of a man named Roman, like a family name "Richardson" in English) but most likely means the family is "descended from the Romans" -- that's what it means for the royal House of Romanov

The Marvel wiki says her full name, as adjusted by later fans for accuracy, is "Natalya 'Natasha' Alianovna Romanova", which means making her dad's name Ivan is a retcon Or it's a sign that the government officially changed her middle name to cut her ties with her dad
