Slavic Names that Start With E

This simplified spelling is a bit too polyester, though this is also the authentic Slavic version of an Old Testament name that's being rediscovered.

With the new trend of boys' names rising on the heels of their popular sisters, the unusual-yet-familiar-feeling Emilian might become better known thanks to its relationship to Emily and Emilia/Amelia. Rather than being two branches of the same tree, Emilian and Emily are actually one tree while Emmett and Emma hang on a whole separate tree. But all have a lot of modern appeal, and Emilian may be a more attractive and intriguing male form than Emil. There was a St. Emilian.

This international variation was publicized by Olympic skater Ekaterina Gordeeva.

A Slavic variation of Helen that might make an unusual update of that classic name.

This short form is used by supermodel Ekat Kiseleva.

Olga variant without the Russian spirit.
