The surnames Panin and Paramonov definitely reminds us about panini and param.Panini was a great sanskrit scholar of India of ancient times. He wrote Astadyayi, a book on sanskrit grammar. He was a student of takshashila university students.Possibly his descendents/students Expl would have migrated there. Param is a word related to God.

Explanation:
 We can find the name of panini in the names of Russian and Italian names as follows :

Ÿ   Giovanni Paolo Panini (16911765), Italian artist
Ÿ   
Ÿ   Carlos Panini (died 1951), wealthy Mexican businessman of Italian origin

Ÿ   Manuel Panini (born 1983), Italian footballer


 Others:
l   , a sandwich-like food, Italian in origin
l   Panini (primates), formerly a zoological tribe containing chimpanzees, now usually re-classified as the subtribe Panina
l   Panini Group, a company headquartered in Modena, Italy

l  Panini Modena, the original name of Pallavolo Modena

it may be due migration of descendants or followers of panini.The students of panini was living near takshashila, as mentioned by Huan Sang . This area  is very close to Indo -Roman trade route .Also ,Karachi port(Barygaza in olden days) , where indo -Roman trade was taken up is also not far to Takshashila. It would have allowed the migration of descendants/followers of Panini . Interestingly, panini influenced the Greeko-Roman languages, linguists of present days.Experts feels that the present computer logic is based on the the Sutras in the Astadyayi written by Panini.
