Федор isnt this the russian name for theodor?
Yeah, that's right. Greek words with theta ('th' sound) were transliterated in Russian with letter 'θ' (фита) in the Church Slavonic and in the old orthography, but words with phi (φ) were transliterated with ф. They both were pronounced 'ph' in Russian, and with the elimination of the old orthography, фита became ф.Quote:

Hello!
I find that female Russian names are so classy, especially: Анастасия, Татьияня & Экатерина. I would have no problem naming my first daughter Anastasia. :)
I'm wondering... is "Svetlana" "Stephanie" in English? If so, would "Svet" be "Steve"?
Ciao!
Мило :wink:
Name "Svetlana" has a stem "svet" - light. This is a Russian name.Quote:

They aren't related at all. IIRC, 'stephanos' is Greek for 'crown', 'svetlana', as has been pointed out, is Russian and has something to do with light.
Russian diminutive for Анастасия is Настя (Nastya) which doesn't sound good for english speaker's ear.Quote:

Elena is the most beautiful (Russian) name. It just clicks for me!
Thanks!Quote:

actually Aleksey doesn't translate into Steve, he just picked that name for some reason,lol If anything a russian name that translates into Steve is Stanislav...
Well, actually, it is "Степан". Both Steve and Степан derive from Greek Stephanos.Quote:

If I have to give my name in a restaurant or some place where they will have to call my name, I will usually give "Paul" or "Peter" or something. This is also the name I give to people who I don't expect to spend much time with and don't want to explain how to pronounce my name to.
Steve has many Russian translits. It could be Стив or Ствен or Стивен or for none of these mean anything in Russian. Being a Russian I can tell you that the trsanlit for Steve in Russian is Саша.
Nastya
Aleksei, Nikolai, Dmitriy, Viktor
For girls I like Oksana and Katya...Even Olga is starting to grow on me
Olga is name that fat ugly ladies have...(remembering the lunch ladies of elementry school).
that's why I never used to like it.... Which is why it's cool when pretty people have it..It makes them seem even prettier :D
