About Slavic names

Slavic names span a wide family of languages, from Polish and Czech to Russian and Ukrainian, and many are built from hopeful elements — peace, glory, love, gift. The tradition is famous for its nicknames: nearly every formal name unfolds into a string of affectionate forms, so a Nadia may also be a Nadya, Nadenka, or Nadi at home.

Meaning and origin are editorial; U.S. popularity comes from Social Security Administration public files.
