Etymology
editThe 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]

editIn October 2024, the village's sole remaining permanent resident, a 48-year-old woman, died in an overnight house fire; the absence of nearby neighbours delayed any call to the emergency services.[5]
