Slavic Baby Names With Meanings

Slavic names are typically composed of two or three parts. The first part is the patronymic name of the father, ancestor name, or ‘house name’, which often has the suffix ‘-ovich’ or ‘-evich’ at the end of it. This is known as the ‘Ovich’ name (ov meaning son in Slavic languages). The second part is the personal name (given name), and the third part is the surname.

Slavic names can be categorized into several types based on their origin and meaning. Some of the most common types of Slavic names are:

- Two-base names: These names are often formed by combining two words, such as ‘Vladimir’ (meaning ‘ruler of the world’) or ‘Dobromir’ (meaning ‘good peace’).

- Names derived from nature: These names are often inspired by natural phenomena such as animals, plants, or weather. Examples include ‘Zoran’ (meaning ‘dawn’) or ‘Jasmina’ (meaning ‘jasmine’).

- Names derived from Christian traditions: These names are often derived from the names of saints or other religious figures. Examples include ‘Nikolai’ (meaning ‘victorious people’) or ‘Anastasia’ (meaning ‘resurrection’).

- Names derived from mythology: These names are often inspired by Slavic mythology and folklore. Examples include ‘Perun’ (the Slavic god of thunder) or ‘Lada’ (the Slavic goddess of love and beauty)
