Andrei

“Andrei is the Russian form of Andrew, derived from the ancient Greek "Andreas" from "aner" (genitive "andros") meaning "man." Saint Andrew the Apostle is the patron saint of Russia, and tradition holds that he preached along the Dnieper River, blessing the future site of Kiev. The name has been borne by Russian princes since the 12th century and is most immortalized through Tolstoy's Prince Andrei Bolkonsky.”

Fyodor

“Fyodor is the Russian form of Theodore, derived from the ancient Greek "Theodoros," composed of "theos" meaning "God" and "doron" meaning "gift" — thus "gift of God." Saint Theodore the Recruit, a third-century Christian martyr, spread the name through the Orthodox world. In Russian literary culture, the name belongs above all to Fyodor Dostoevsky (1821–1881), arguably the greatest psychological novelist who ever lived.”

Irina

“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.”

Sergei

“Sergei is the Russian form of Sergius, a Roman family name of uncertain Etruscan or Latin origin. Saint Sergius of Radonezh (1314–1392), the greatest mystic and monastic founder in Russian Orthodox history, made this name deeply beloved in Russia. The name is also borne by giants of Russian culture: composer Sergei Rachmaninoff, choreographer Sergei Diaghilev, and filmmaker Sergei Eisenstein.”

Tatiana

“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.”

Yuri

“Yuri is the Russian form of George, derived through the Byzantine Greek form Georgios from "georgos" meaning "earth-worker" or "farmer." It entered Russia through the Eastern Orthodox veneration of Saint George, the dragon-slaying martyr. The name is inseparably associated with cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, who on April 12, 1961 became the first human in space, making his name a symbol of human achievement and the Soviet era's greatest triumph.”
