Slavic Baby Names

Slavic names have profound historical roots and often signify nature, traits, or religion. Traditional names such as Vladislav ("glorious ruler"), Milena ("gracious"), and Borislav ("war glory") carry significant significance. Many names come from Old Church Slavonic, while others, like Ivan and Olga, were influenced by Christianity. It's common to use diminutives, like Sasha for Alexander or Dasha for Daria, and sometimes even double diminutives. Surnames often end in -ov, -ev, or -ski, indicating family lineage.

Even though modern Slavic names include international trends, traditional names are still widely used, keeping cultural heritage alive. Whether they're old or new, Slavic names are a source of identity and pride.
