I met a woman from Kiev today and her name was "Ruzanna". Don't blame me, that's the way she spelled it :roll:
Anyway, what is the Russian equivalent for this name?

Persian: a daytime; something light, brightQuote:
на персидском означает: дневное время, что-то светлое

So Russian equvalent possible is Светлана (Svetlana)
