Gazenei?

[Simon Beattie]

Dear list members,

 

I have found a reference to a late nineteenth-century bindery in St
Petersburg: "Perepletnaia Gazeneia Nevskii pr. No. 108".  I've looked
Gazenei up in Unbegaun's "Russian Surnames", but it's not listed.  Does
anyone on the list have any idea what the name might have been originally?
Gasenet?  Hasenet?  (Is it French??)

 

All suggestions gratefully received.

 

Simon
