The most beautiful Russian names according to foreigners

Gradually, the cultures of different countries become closer to each other. Not so long ago, our country actively borrowed something from Western states, but today the foreign world is also taking something attractive from Russia. Thus, Russian names are gaining popularity abroad. These ten Russian names are considered the most beautiful among foreigners and have the greatest demand.

Evgeniya

The West prefers only the female version of the name, the male version has not taken root at all abroad. The popularity of this name form is due to the confidence of foreigners that the name of Eugene sounds fabulous and in a special way mysterious.

Anatoly

In Europe, you can easily find a boy named Anatoly. More and more foreign parents choose this Russian name for their sons. It is difficult to explain such a demand for this name abroad, but there it has become a kind of mainstream to call their sons Anatolias.

Leonid

In our country, the name Leonid is in good demand, and in recent years this name form has become popular in foreign countries. The phenomenon of such popularity of the name Leonidas is not easy to explain, perhaps foreigners are attracted by the fact that the famous Spartan king had such a name.

Probably, the name Leonid gained popularity abroad after the release of the film "300 Spartans"

Agnes

In Russia, it is quite difficult to meet a girl named Agnes, while in other states this name is considered quite attractive. Parents choose such a name for their daughters to emphasize their peculiarity and dissimilarity from other children.

Zinaida

In Russia, the name Zinaida has long lost its popularity, while foreigners saw something attractive in this name-form.

Ruslan

The old male Russian name Ruslan is still in demand in our country, and now it conquers the Western states as well. The popularity of the nameform is associated with the growing interest in Russian literature, in particular, in the works of A. S. Pushkin.

Ruslan is the main character of the poem by A. Pushkin "Ruslan and Lyudmila"

Ludmila

Another name from Russian literature - Lyudmila - is also in demand in the Western world. The demand for this female name is also justified by its meaning: "sweet to people." What parent doesn't want their child to be loved by others?

Yulia

The female name Julia has gained popularity among foreigners due to her pronunciation. Most Russian names are quite difficult to pronounce for a resident of other countries, while the name Julia is pronounced simply and sounds pleasant.

Kolya

In our country, Kolya is an abbreviated version of the name Nikolai. Foreign citizens did not like the full version of the name at all, but its short form has gained quite a lot of popularity.

Ilya

Ilya is another name that is easy to pronounce by native speakers of any language. This soft-sounding name shape allows the parents of boys to distinguish their son among their peers, add a little exotic to him.

Russian names are gaining more and more popularity abroad. Parents, calling their children by our names, try to help their child stand out from the crowd, get a little bit of uniqueness.
