Makaronova (invented surname)

Mrs. Macaroni

also: Макаронова, Makaronovoy, Mrs. Macaroni

A comic invented feminine surname built from 'makarony' (macaroni), used in the same greetings list as 'Vermishelyova'; the two form a matched pasta-themed pair of household in-joke names appended to a list of real family friends, typical of the Chekhov family's private comic register.
