Myakotikha (Russian: Мякотиха) is a rural locality (a village) in Syamzhensky District, Vologda Oblast, Russia. The population was 4 as of the 2002 Census.[2] Until December 2015, the village was part of Zhityovskoye Rural Settlement; that settlement was then merged into Noginskoye Rural Settlement, which itself was dissolved in 2022 when Syamzhensky Municipal District was reorganized as Syamzhensky Municipal Okrug.
The name derives from the medieval Russian personal nickname Myakota (Мякота), which is attested on Novgorod lands; an Ivan Prasolov Myakota is recorded in Novgorod in the early 16th century, and landowners surnamed Myakotevy are documented in the Obonezhye region. The nickname itself derives from the dialectal noun myakotina (мякотина), which in northern Russian dialects denoted rye bread made from sifted flour or a kind of pirog. A 1678 writers' book of Vologda Uyezd records the village under both its current name and the older form Myakotinikha (Мякотиниха).[3]
