Сокровища мудрости. (Treasure wisdom.) - Motto The Chekov family was a family of Intellectuals who were well-known for their published works that were widely acclaimed by Government Officials, Intellectuals, and Boyars.

According to Pavel Chekov, the family was a long line of authors and professors. Professor Anton Antonivich Chekov II was known for his published work and tenure at Boston University, New York University, and Duke University. His cousin, Professor Alexandré Grigorivich Chekov, was also known for his published work and tenure at Bocconi University.

Not wanting any of his sons to follow the tradition, Anton made Ivan to pursue a career outside literature. After his journalist career in Harvard College, Ivan became a Business and Economics journalist in the New York Times. Pavel Chekov followed his mother's footsteps and became a violinist and a ballerino in the Bolshoi Ballet and then the New York City Ballet Company, and he pursued his careers as a professional performer and an Arts and Culture journalist in the Times until he retired to become a music teacher in Kyoto International.

Through the maternal grandmother of Anton Chekov II, the Chekov family was a direct descendant from Ivan Karamazov of the Karamazov family, who was the older brother of Alexei Karamazov, the great grandfather of Katerina Konstantinovna Yaroslava, Pierre's deceased mother, and the half-brother of Dmitri Karamazov, the great grandfather of Sergei Kravinoff, the father of Vladimir, Alyosha, and Ana. Through the Karamazov family line, Pierre and the Kravinoff siblings were distant cousins to the Chekov brothers.
