Russian Names

Russian names have a certain format: a given name, a patronymic, and a surname. Ivan, Dmitry, Olga, and Anastasia are popular given names, with many having Slavic, Greek, or biblical origins. Patronymics are formed by adding suffixes such as -ovich/-evich (for sons) and -ovna/-evna (for daughters) to the father's name to indicate ancestry, as in Ivan Petrovich (son of Pyotr). Russians also employ charming diminutives, such as Sasha for Alexander and Masha for Maria. While new trends influence naming practices, traditional Russian names are still widely used, preserving cultural heritage and identity.
