Animal Names for Boys

Either a rare Welsh variation of Alun or Alan, or a word meaning "full". Alawn has dubious traditional origins: it was listed as the name of one of the first three bards of the island of Britain by the antiquarian Iolo Morganwg, who is an enthusiastic but notoriously unreliable source.

Many Russian names are influenced by Greek names, as is Arsentiy, the Russian variation of Arsenius. St. Arsenius the Great was a common namesake for children named Arsentiy.
