Vladimir Ivanovich Narbut (younger brother of Georgii Ivanovich Narbut) was born of Ukrainian parents Ivan Yakovich Narbut and Neonila Nikolayevna Narbut at their country residence, Narbutovka, near the town of Hluchov-Chernigov, Ukraine. The family has a history dating back to the 17th Century.
Ivan Yakovich was not sympathetic to the boys' aspirations in art and literature, he wanted them to study law. After finishing school, Georgii and Vladimir ran off to St. Petersburg and enrolled at the university there. Ivan Yakovich refused to assist financially. But the boys were determined and, eventually, succeeded in their respective professions.
