Russian names have a novelist’s glamour to them — long, formal, faintly wintry, and then softened by a nickname that only family uses. The grand end of the Russian girl names spectrum is where most parents start: Anastasia, from the Greek for resurrection and easily the most romantic four syllables on this page; Tatiana, elegant and a little unreachable in the best way; Irina, the Russian form of Irene; and Margarita, the Russian version of Margaret, which sounds like a name meant to be announced at a door.
What makes this list unusually practical, though, is the diminutives — Russian is generous with affectionate short forms, and many now stand on their own. Anya is a warm short form of Anna and needs no explanation anywhere. Sasha is the classic pet form of Alexandra, cool and slightly unisex. Natasha comes from Natalia, Sonia from Sophia, and Liza from Elizabeth. Add Vera (faith), the spare and lovely Lara, and the rarer Zoya, and you have a list that works at every level of formality.
Every name below opens to its full page — a sourced meaning, its U.S. popularity, and a clear audio pronunciation so you can hear it before you fall for it.
