Russian language belongs to the group Slavic languages. However, many Russian names are not originally Russian by their origin. They are borrowed from Greek together with christian religion. Before that, Russians had names that reflected the various characteristics and qualities of people, their physical disabilities, names that reflected the birth order of children in the family. There were common names such as Wolf, Cat, Sparrow, Birch, First, Tretyak, Big, Small, Zhdan. The reflection of these names is observed in modern Russian surnames Tretyakov, Nezhdanov, Menshov, etc.

With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', all the old Russian names were gradually supplanted by church names that came to Rus' from Byzantium. Among them, in addition to proper Greek names, were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which reflected a certain meaning in its native language, but when borrowed it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.

By the 18th and 19th centuries Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names have largely changed their appearance, adapting to the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation. So, the name Diomede was transformed into the name Demid, Jeremiah - Yeremey, etc.

After the October Socialist Revolution, names associated with the new ideology became widespread: Revmira (peace revolution), Diamara (dialectical materialism); names reflecting the first stages of industrialization: Electrina, Elevator, Diesel, Ram, (revolution, electrification, mechanization); names read in foreign novels: Alfred, Rudolf, Arnold; names by flower names: Lily, Rose, Astra.

Since the 1930s, such familiar to us Russian names like Masha, Vladimir, Seryozha, i.e. the names closest to the Russian people are used. But this return to the old names does not at all mean a return to all the names of the church calendar, most of which have remained unaccepted by the Russian nation.

On this page, not only old (Russian calendar, Old Russian and common Slavic), but also new female names.
