Tatiana
Russian · “Tatiana is a Russian and Slavic feminine name derived from the Latin Tatianus, itself from the Roman family name Tatius — of uncertain Sabine origin, possibly related to the Sabine king Titus Tatius. Saint Tatiana of Rome, a third-century Christian martyr, spread the name through Eastern Orthodox Christianity. In Russia, January 25 — Saint Tatiana's Day — is celebrated as Students' Day, as Moscow State University was founded on that date.”
Irina
Russian · “Irina is the Russian and Slavic form of Irene, derived from the ancient Greek "Eirene" meaning "peace." The goddess Eirene was one of the Horae (goddesses of the seasons) and a personification of peace, depicted carrying a cornucopia. Saint Irene of Rome and other early Christian martyrs spread the name across the Byzantine world and from there into Slavic culture, where it became one of the most enduring feminine names.”
Natalya
Russian · “Natalya is the Russian form of Natalia, from the Latin "natale domini" meaning "birth of the Lord," given to children born on Christmas Day. In Russian culture, the name is inseparably linked to Natasha Rostova in Tolstoy's "War and Peace" — one of the most beloved heroines in world literature, whose vivacious energy and emotional generosity came to define the ideal of Russian feminine vitality. The diminutive Natasha is among the most internationally recognized of all Russian names.”
