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.”
Mariya
“Mariya is the Russian and Slavic form of Mary, derived from the Hebrew name Miriam, whose meaning has been debated for centuries — proposed origins include "beloved," "wished-for child," "sea of bitterness," and "rebellious." The Virgin Mary made this name the most common feminine name in Christian Europe. In Russia and Ukraine it appears alongside the Church Slavonic Maria, with the diminutive Masha being among the most beloved of all Russian names.”
Vladimir
“Vladimir is a Slavic masculine name composed of "vladeti" meaning "to rule" or "to have power" and "mir" meaning "peace," "world," or "people" — thus "ruler of the world" or "peaceful ruler." It was made famous by Vladimir the Great (c. 958–1015), the Grand Prince of Kiev who converted Kievan Rus to Orthodox Christianity in 988, one of the most consequential acts in the history of Eastern Europe. The name is also internationally associated with Vladimir Lenin and Vladimir Nabokov.”
Darya
“Darya is the Russian and Slavic feminine form of Darius, derived from the ancient Persian name Dārayavahush meaning "possessing goodness" or "who holds firm the good." The name entered the Slavic world through the veneration of Saint Daria of Rome, a third-century martyr. It is widely used in Russia, Ukraine, and other Slavic countries, with the warm diminutive Dasha being among the most endearing of all Russian nicknames.”
Anastasia
“Anastasia is derived from the ancient Greek "anastasis" meaning "resurrection" — one of the most theologically significant words in Christianity. Saint Anastasia, a fourth-century Roman martyr, spread the name through the Christian world. In Russia, it became famous through the tragic story of Grand Duchess Anastasia Nikolaevna (1901–1918), youngest daughter of Tsar Nicholas II, whose rumored survival spawned decades of legend and fascination.”
Nadezhda
“Nadezhda is a Russian and Slavic feminine name meaning "hope" — derived directly from the Old Slavic word for hope, making it one of the most semantically transparent of all Russian names. Along with Vera (faith) and Lyubov (love), it forms the famous trio of sister names representing the three theological virtues. Saint Nadezhda is venerated alongside Saints Vera and Lyubov in the Orthodox Church on September 30.”
