As in most cultures, a person has a given name chosen by his or her parents. First names inEast Slavic languages mostly originate from one of three sources:Orthodox church tradition (which derives from sources ofGreek origin),Catholic church tradition (ofLatin origin), or native pre-ChristianSlavic origins . Pre-Christian wishful names were given in the hope of controlling the fate of the people. For instance, to scare away evil, children were given names derived from dangerous predatory animals. In contrast, the names of Shchasny (Happy) or Rozumnyk (Smart) were supposed to make them happy or smart respectively.[ 2]
Most names have several diminutive forms.
