Early life Tutkovsky was born on 1 March 1858 in Lipovets, which was then part of the Kiev Governorate in the Russian Empire at the time of his birth. He was born into a family of family of employees; his father was named Apollon Lukich Tutkovsky and his mother was Yulia Lippomano. A grandfather of his served as a clerk for the Zaporozhian Cossacks and had the last name Korczak-Tutko, but when the Liquidation of the Zaporozhian Sich occurred Catherine II granted nobility to the family and so the family's paternal surname was changed to Tutkovsky. His maternal side was French and Italian from the aristocratic family of Lippomano, although Yulia herself had been raised in Poland. Pavlo was strongly influenced by his mother, Yulia, because she was a woman of high culture due to her aristocratic family and musically gifted.

In 1879 he was temporarily expelled from the faculty for participating in a student protest. After eventually being reinstated, he graduated from the faculty in 1882.
