    Probably refers to someone from "Agram." Agram is actually "the historic Austrian German name for Zagreb, Croatia."

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agram

    “Ov”, “off”, “in” and “ev” at the end of a Russian surname indicate the surname means “son of ____” (whatever). It should also be noted that “off” is often the “English” version of “ov.” It is also used by Russians to make their name sound more aristocratic.
