Russian Baby Names, Names Of Russian Origin, Page 4

Russian baby names carry the rich, musical beauty of a language shaped by poets, tsars, and centuries of Orthodox Christian tradition. If you have Russian heritage or simply love the warm, rolling sound of Slavic names, this collection of Russian baby names is a wonderful starting point. Each pick comes from the literary, religious, and folk traditions that have shaped Russian culture from Moscow and St. Petersburg across every generation.

Consider Anastasia, a Greek-Russian classic meaning ''resurrection,'' made famous by the lost Romanov princess and her royal legacy. Dmitri, from Greek Demetrios, means ''follower of Demeter'' and is one of Russia''s most beloved boy names. Natasha is a warm nickname for Natalia, meaning ''birthday of the Lord'' in Latin. Mikhail, the Russian form of Michael, means ''who is like God'' in Hebrew and feels strong and classic. Katya, a sweet short form of Yekaterina, means ''pure'' in Greek.

When choosing Russian baby names, roll each one on your tongue and feel its musical rhythm. These names pair beautifully with English-friendly middle names for bicultural families.
