A little history of Russian names

Most modern Russian names were borrowed from the Byzantine Empire with the arrival of Christianity. After the 10th century only Christian names were officially allowed. However, in reality most children received two names — a commonly used name and the formally documented name. At that time many Greek and Roman names were also assimilated into Russian (e.g. Andreas, Valentinus, Valerius, Sophia, Helena, Agatha), as well as names from all over the world (European, Oriental, Scandinavian countries etc). During the 20th century ancient Slavic names tended to return (e.g. Lyudmila, Lada, Vladimir, and so on). After the October Revolution of 1918 new names were created to reflect the spirit of that time. For example, Marxlen (a combination of the surnames Marx and Lenin), Oktyabrina (in honour of the October Revolution), Ninel (Lenin spelled backwards).

Перевод: Большинство современных русских имён было заимствовано из Византийской империи с приходом христианства. После X века официально разрешались только христианские имена. Однако на самом деле большинство детей получало два имени — употребительное и официально зарегистрированное. В то время в русский язык также вошли многие греческие и римские имена (например, Андреас, Валентинус, Валериус, София, Елена, Агата), а также имена со всего мира (европейские, восточные, скандинавские и другие). В течение XX века старославянские имена снова стали возвращаться (например, Людмила, Лада, Владимир и другие). После Октябрьской революции 1918 года создавались новые имена, отражавшие дух времени. Например, Маркслен (сочетание фамилий Маркс и Ленин), Октябрина (в честь Октябрьской революции), Нинель (слово «Ленин», написанное наоборот).
