In honor of just how epically my Russian name post blew up, hereโ€™s how you can make up your own Russian names
To be clear, most actually used Russian names are borrowed from Greek or Hebrew and Russianified, so the names you make up by THIS method wonโ€™t be common or occasionally even pre-existent. This is for when you want to make up a fantasy not-Russia thatโ€™s still clearly Russian in language but doesnโ€™t have the same greek-borrowing history. Itโ€™ll sound antiquated, alt-history, slightly weird and definitely Russian as all heck.
Set of first halves:
- Vladi (meansย โ€œpower/ownershipโ€)
- Yaro (meansย โ€œpassionatelyโ€)
- Veli (meansย โ€œgreatโ€)
- Sviato (Svyato) (meansย โ€œsaint/sacredโ€)
- Miro (meansย โ€œpeace/worldโ€)
- Meche (meansย โ€œswordโ€)
- Tverdo (meansย โ€œhardโ€ as inย โ€œnot softโ€)
- Gordi (meansย โ€œprideโ€)
- Bole (meansย โ€œpainโ€. no i dont know why this one gets used either)
- Gore (meansย โ€œgrief/bitterโ€, see above)
- Slavo (meansย โ€œgloryโ€)
- Sveto (meansย โ€œlightโ€)
- Milo (meansย โ€œdearโ€ or โ€œlovelyโ€)
- Yasno (meansย โ€œclearโ€)
- Vero (meansย โ€œfaithโ€)
- Liubo (Lyubo) (meansย โ€œloveโ€)
- Kraso (meansย โ€œbeautyโ€)
- Rado (meansย โ€œjoyโ€)
- Vole (meansย โ€œwillโ€)
- Zare (meansย โ€œdawnโ€ though the wordroot can also refer to dusk when specified. it specifically means the thing when its brighter in the sky than not in the sky. What you see when thereโ€™s a city or a bright fire in the distance is called a word produced from the same root)
- Vedi (meansย โ€œknowledgeโ€; note: I just made this one up, I have never seen an actual name with this. However it fits the scheme and will sound reasonable to a native speaker, and the goal is still to produce NOT common names)
- Zvezdo (meansย โ€œstarโ€ and I made this one up too)
- Ogne (meansย โ€œflameโ€ and I might have seen this one or I might have made it up idk at this point)
- Snego (meansย โ€œsnowโ€ and i 100% made this one up and its not a thing. Sounds nice though)
- Deye (means โ€œactionโ€ and Iโ€™m only half certain this oneโ€™s a thing. Itโ€™ll definitely sound nice though, again)
- Medo (meansย โ€œhoneyโ€ and weโ€™re completely off the rails here folks)
- Isto (meansย โ€œsincerityโ€ and im ALMOST sure this one is a thing. Almost)
- Pravdo (meansย โ€œtruthโ€ and this one is 100% not a thing but it can be if you want to)
EDIT: CONTRIBUTION FROM @reatyย  CANT BELIEVE I FORGOT FUCKING STANISLAV
- Dobro (means "good" or "kind")
- Rati (means "army")
- Brati (means "brother")
- Vse (means "all")
- Zlato (means "gold")
- Liuto (Lyuto) (means "fierce")
- Stani (means "war camp")
EDIT: more contribution from @archtroop
- Diko (means โ€œwildโ€)
- Bogo / Bog (means โ€œgodโ€) (usually would be โ€œBogoโ€ but โ€œBogdanโ€ and โ€œBogdanaโ€ are pre-existent)
- Vieche (means โ€œageโ€,ย โ€œeraโ€ or โ€œcenturyโ€)
Set of second halves:
- mir or mira (male/female respectively)
- slav or slava (same)
- bor (just male) (meansย "struggle" or โ€œdeep dark forestโ€)
- dar (just male) (meansย โ€œgiftโ€)
- mil or mila (again same) (see above for meaning)
- lad or lada (same and meansย โ€œharmonyโ€)
- liuba (lyuba) (just female; adding this in the male form just makes a regular word that meansย โ€˜[thing]-loverโ€™, like โ€œslavolyubโ€ -> guy who likes glory)
- rad or rada (see above)
- slov (meansย โ€œwordโ€)
- ust (meansย โ€œmouthโ€)
EDIT: CONTRIBUTION FROM @reaty THANKS DUDE (gender neutral)
- polk (means "regiment")
- gor (means "mountain")
- vid (means "one who sees")
- voy (means "warrior").
EDIT: more contribution from @archtroop
- mor (means โ€œdeathโ€, โ€œplagueโ€)
- dan or dana (means โ€œgivenโ€)
Pronunciation guide: allย โ€œaโ€ likeย โ€œuโ€ inย โ€œduckโ€, allย โ€œeโ€ like inย โ€œbestโ€, all โ€œiโ€ like in โ€œshipโ€ or โ€œsheepโ€ (same sound in Russian). Gore - go-reh, Bole - bo-leh, etc. โ€œiaโ€/โ€yaโ€ when its after a vowel or at the start of the word is as inย โ€œBiancaโ€ and if its after a consonant is likeย โ€œnyaโ€ but will probably sound like justย โ€œaโ€ to yall native English speakers.ย โ€œiu/yuโ€ after a consonant sounds exactly like the germanย รผ.
Obviously donโ€™t go Moon Moon, Slavoslav and Miromir arenโ€™t valid names. Generally theseโ€™ll sound nicer if you avoid repeating consonants. Deyemil > Deyedar, etc. With that in mind, go nuts!
Names in this category that are actually common:
Vladimir, short Vova for some fucking reason, no i dont know either
Vladislav, short Vladik or Slava/Slavik
Vladislava, short Vlada
Sviatoslav, short Slava/Slavik
Viacheslav, short Slava/Slavik, which isnโ€™t one of the roots above... I have never seenย โ€œViacheโ€ with any other root and I donโ€™t have any idea what it means. EDIT: apparently itโ€™s from Vieche!
Yaroslav, short Yarik or Slava/Slavik
Stanislav, short Slava/Slavik
Vseslav, short Slava/Slavik
(Fun fact, I have an uncle Slava... and I donโ€™t actually know what his full name is)
(Google up the name after youโ€™ve made it up to find out how pre-existent it is. Itโ€™ll sound Russian though)
The accent/stress (v important in Russian) will usually go on the first syllable of the second half (GoresLAv, LiubomEEra), with the exception being personally Vladimir, where itโ€™s VladEEmir. (You can also make aย โ€˜secondaryโ€™ accent on the first syllable in sufficiently long words, so โ€œlIUbomEEraโ€ etc)
Notice thereโ€™s a cadence to this. By the end of that first list I was just making these up out of Russian word roots that fit the rhythm and the vague theming. Donโ€™t Try This At Home though without an actual Russian speaker to consult: note how the vowels at the end of those are different, and Iโ€™ll be honest: I have no idea why those specifically, other than This Sounds Right.
Thereโ€™s... probably more legit ones that I just havenโ€™t remembered. I just spent an hour at work on this instead of working though so you know having to cut the exercise short and all.
EDIT: A P.S. FROM @reaty WHO CONTINUES TO BE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT PROBABLY
Also I think that it's important for these halves to have at least some sense together. For example, Medo- part, I belive, would be plausible in something like "Medoust" or "Medoslov" โ€” a way to depict a person who is good with words โ€” but "Medopolk" would have absolutely zero sense (at least if he is not an actual bee).

Whilst both are architectural adornments in the shape of animals, humans, or mythical creatures, what we often refer to as gargoyles are actually grotesques. Gargoyle comes from the French "gargouille" (meaning throat) which is also the root of the English verb "to gargle". The reason behind the etymology is that unlike the more generally termed grotesques, gargoyles are specifically designed as water spouts that divert rainwater from damaging a building. The Gothic: What? blogseries will go into further detail on the delights of gothic architecture.

Love word origins! Love linguistics . . . . .@Regrann from @etymologyrules - Indo European refers to the language and people that historically range from Europe to present day India. Indo Europeans existed during Bronze Age and yet had to split into sub-families, such as Armenian, Albanian, Anatolian, Baltics, Celtic, Germanic, Hellenic (Greek), Indo-Iranian /Aryan, Italic, Slavic, and Tocharian. There are 439 languages and dialects amongst these sub-families, which further break down into several hundred languages families. English derives from the Germanic branch (West Germanic). The Germanic tribes (Anglo, Saxon, Jutes) invaded present-day English, replacing the Celtic native tongue. English and Latin are not from the same branch (Latin is Italic), and English is not a Romance language (Spanish, Italian, French are), but they share one common mother tongue- the Indo-European. #words #language #wordhistory #wordpower #wordorigins #wordroots #wordsmatter #wordmatters #etymologyrules #cultivateyourmind ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“–โœ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸพโœŠ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŒŸ - #regrann
