Thanks to the prof. Steven P Hill for his strong suggestions :)))

As to my knowing about the surname Goloviznin it goes from Golovizna.

> 
> 2.  For the 2d query ("devushka"),    in the context cited by 
> Goloviznin, I strongly suggest "young lady."

> P.S.    Is the surname "GOLOVIZNIN" derived from (a) a noun

>  (c) from some other aggregation of syllables?
