My Ukrainian name is Євгенія but my family calls me Геня (Genya) for short. In English, it is equivalent to 'Eugenia'. But my favourite Ukrainian name is Зоряна (Zorianna)... the zori are night spirits from Slavic myth- they are two sisters who help the dark God, Chernobog, cross the sky... and my grandmother used to read to us from a Ukrainian fairy tale book.

[@taras3702]

Were the Zori benevolent or evil? As I recall, some spirits that roamed the night were guardians of humans, while others were quite the opposite such as Rusalkas. They were vengeful or angry ghosts.

[@be-curious]

Дуже дякую! I love this channel ! 🤓 Слава Україні 🇺🇦

[@irenes.2807]

My uncle Hrech, we called Harry. Ivan =John, Taras = Terry, Yuri or Yurko = George, Bogdan = Bob, Vasyl = William/Bill, Dmitry = Dan, Mikhailo= Mike/Michael, Yaroslav = Jerry. Just a few from my town in Canada. 🍁💙💛🌻

[@olena_podrez_]

Olena is a very popular Ukrainian name. I really like the old Ukrainian female name Oriana (meaning "to plow" because, as you know, Ukrainians were famous farmers) and the male name Oles (meaning "defender")

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

I always liked Oles!

[@KG-1]

Imagine the popularity of Bohdan is connected to the Cossack leader Bohdan Khmelnytsky.

[@mb.7105]

Дякую за випуск!

[@Eowynnofrohan]

I like the names Javelina and Mria too! And Taras, bc I love Taras Shevchenko.

[@disgorgeofconsciousness2250]

Sending so much love to the Ukrainians around the world. Much love from Australia, hopefully when the situation de-escalates some of us from these lessons may explore and Celebrate Ukraine 💕💕

[@aethersimulacra]

Твоє волосся прекрасне!

[@KG-1]

Fascinating to see the deep cultural connection remaining from the Greeks. Not surprising considering Ukraine was a breadbasket all the way back to Ancient Greek times before Christ - Olbia, the Greek trading city in Scythian times is nearby to Kherson your hometown (Ever visited the ruins?). Also to see the names connected to Jewish heritage. Would be interested to know of names that have Cuman, Tatar, and Turkic origin.

[@greatsarmatae]

There are no Turkic names in traditions of Ukraine. There was no such joint existence between Nomads and Rusins to get affected that much.

[@KG-1]

@@greatsarmatae wrong. All wrong. The left bank of the Dnipro and the connection to Crimea and the Ottoman Empire rebut that comment utterly. Listen to Brigade song for the UA 30th Mech brigade. Point is all kinds of Ukrainian connection to Turkic and other steppe horse peoples in their history. See also the troop id necessary for Polish -- Ukrainian troops needed at Vienna in 1683.

[@greatsarmatae]

@@KG-1 mate, you didn't get what I meant. Nothing is wrong here. I told you about names and joint life (like in mixed societies) which are not there, not about history of tight geographical contacts and it's specifics like lending of weaponry, garments and some vocabulary. Besides, lands of Crimean Khanate weren't Ukrainian, it is so now, but historically they weren't.

[@ihanajeesus]

Дякую за гарне та цікаве відео! Багато вам благословень. Я згадую тебе в молитвах, друже. :)

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

Дуже Дякую 🌹🌷🌺

[@LearningSpanishwithDrL]

Great video!

[@kevinschaeffer6920]

I named my daughters Nadja & Aleksis.

[@YiboZelensky]

Interesting content!!! May our good god continue to bless you and give you wings to fly 🕊️

[@Fiziarcom]

cool nice channel Inna

[@MichaelWheeler-ev1do]

Thank you so much for the great lesson Inna as well as some brief history lessons. Take care! 🇬🇧👍🏻🇺🇦

[@kellywagner7114]

Javelina, where the J is pronounced as H, is a word from Spanish, it is a type of wild pig, small as pigs go, but very fast and they are afraid of nothing.

[@asch7906]

- Thank you a lot for the (beautiful) meaning of Anastasiya, my best Ukrainian friend is named like that. She stayed in the country, I pray for her everyday. - There's a famous Inna in my country for about a decade, Inna Shevchenko, radical feminist militant, but I didn't like her much before the large scale invasion because her girls desecrated a church in my city. I have softened since, especially with all the ignorant/malevolent anti-Ukraine crowd attacking her and your people. - I was hoping you would talk about the name Bohdan, I find it pretty badass.

[@greatsarmatae]

We don't like radical-feminists in Ukraine as well, i can totally understand you... Please protect your traditions :)

[@user-bx7ek8ob8h]

The word resurrection refers to Jesus being raised from the dead. The definition of the word resurrection is the action or fact of resurrecting or being resurrected. The word resurrect is to restore (a dead person) to life.

[@denverbraughler3948]

She surely knows Воскресіння. Russian uses this name for Sunday.

[@dan-berladyn]

Даніель Джон Берладин ( Барладин ) Daniel John Berladyn ( Barladyn )

[@user-bx7ek8ob8h]

Thank you very much Inna for your wonderful video. Have you heard of Yaroslava Mahuchikh the world's best female high jumper? Thanks to your video I understand her name.

[@golokavrndavana]

Great names. 😅

[@user-ej2rt8zy5e]

We have the pronunciation "I-I-Na" also in Japanese and it means good or nice

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

I just wanted to add, I think Japanese names are beautiful and I’ve given some of my cats (I have six) Japanese names… Tama, Tarō, Kuji, Mitsu. Tama is the best, she curls up into a little ball when she sleeps! ❤

[@user-ej2rt8zy5e]

sounds nice! I want to see your cats@@Rocket_scientist_88

[@ZhovtoBlakytniy]

Olga is Helga and Ivan is John equivalent in English. I have a funny one for myself, Dana. Sounds like Donna in English but spelled like day-na to English speakers. Sometimes short for Bohdana, feminine version of Bohdan meaning "given by God" in Slavic.

[@taras3702]

I am a Ukrainian-American whose first name is Taras, and indeed I live up to its meaning. I consider it a genuine privilege to bear the name of Ukraine's poet, artist and nationalist, Taras Shevchenko. He rebelled against injustice, and not just on behalf of Ukrainians. He was in many ways very much like America's Patrick Henry.

[@Eowynnofrohan]

He's awesome

[@Rocket_scientist_88]

Hi! I live in New Orleans, Louisiana (USA) and my girlfriend is from Ukraine, and her name is “Svitlana”. I googled it, and this name means “light”, or “pure”, which is perfect for her. I also understand that it is the Ukrainian analogue to the Russian name “Svetlana” (same meaning). What is the nickname for Svitlana? I know the Russian nickname for Svetlana is “Sveta”, does that mean the Ukrainian nickname for Svitlana is “Svita”? She just goes by Lana since she’s lived here so long, and likes the American sounding name… but I love the name “Svitlana” very much and would love to be able to address her by the appropriate nickname. Дуже дякую! Cheers from New Orleans! 🥃

[@lanamack1558]

Not a nickname, rather a form of endearment. My mother used to call me Світланутшка (Svitlanutshka).

[@nataliawatches]

I guess you can try the diminutive form Svitlanka.

[@user-gf4zg8qn2r]

Джавеліна)))))))

[@elblazokensebben7864]

Hi Ina! I'm not sure if it's actually Ukranian or maybe polish, but I know my family comes from Western Ukraine in a town named Roszniw, (I think this is how you spell it?) near the border of Moldova. My family last name is Bunyk, is there any chance you could tell me anything about it potentially? What the stem of the name may refer to or its context?

[@SigMaQuint]

Sigrid - sigr = victory + frid = pleasant

[@gergelygyulalazar2293]

Hi Inna. My name is Gergely. It has an equivalent in English, it is Gregory. In Ukrainian, it is Григорій. It comes from Old Greek, meaning is "vigilant".

[@susanwestern6434]

My name is Susan - Susanna - name from the bible. Means lily.

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

8:47 It seems to be my Ukranian name

[@Ukie88]

The Latin spelling is Marcus. Marko in ukee

[@sergeibrin]

Marko is a popular Spanish name. The first syllable stressed

[@kleinweichkleinweich]

Kherson was founded in 422 BC by European settlers from Greece

[@stephytooth]

Привіт Інно! класне відео! Я була так здивована, почувши своє ім'я. 😂

[@susanwestern6434]

Ifan is a Welsh form of John.

[@Whatisthisstupidfinghandle]

10:51 Yahweh means God 12:01 resurrection refers to the Jesus mythology of rising from the dead

[@mike_b_us]

Мене звати Михайло. Для мене велика честь бути студентом української мови, історії та культури. Ангійською мовою скорочуємо це ім'я «Майкл» до «Майк». Чи має українська мова коротку форму? Дякую за все!

[@Vladyslav_Maxymov]

Михаль, Михась

[@mike_b_us]

@@Vladyslav_Maxymov Дякую, пане Максимов!

[@radmilaavlijas2222]

We have all these names among Serbs

[@KG-1]

Resurrection - coming back from the dead, imagine very much connected to the resurrection of Christ.

[@lanamack1558]

I was baptised Світлана; the Ruzzian Orthodox priest refused to use the Ukrainian Світлана. In 1923 my mother Надія was registered Надежда. The origin of Надія is obvious, but I'm not certain of Світлана. I'm guessing it has something to do with light.

[@Callia_Art]

💙💛💙💛💙💛

[@jacqueline6993]

Bonsoir, J’ai essayé de suivre vos cours pour connaître un peu mieux votre langue et surtout suivre les informations concernant les combats des soldats ukrainiens. Malheureusement je ne parviens pas à suivre vos cours ou très mal vu que je suis une vieille française. Je vais continuer à vous écouter mais malheureusement il y a peu de chance que je vous comprenne et je le regrette sincèrement. Bonne soirée

[@denverbraughler3948]

There’s lots of information available in English. But to learn Ukrainian takes a long time.

[@halyna_subliminals]

Bonjour, si vous le souhaitez, cette chaîne française fait des vidéos sur l'Ukraine (Anna est Ukrainienne !). C'est @annaxobjectifukraine6577 Bonne journée à vous !

[@KG-1]

Gift of Yahweh = Gift of God. Yahweh is Hebrew for God. Would be great if you could do another video on Ukrainian place-city names.

[@billavery628]

I was named after my Ukrainian дід, Вільям. I wonder if he changed his name when he immigrated to Canada in 1908?

[@sergeibrin]

he definitely did. Вільям/ William is not a Ukrainian name, not even slavic

[@chriswicecarver3715]

I met a Ukrainian and her name is Larisa. Where does that come from? What does that mean or translate to?

[@greatsarmatae]

Greek name, means "seagull"

[@Vladyslav_Maxymov]

4:10 It's not [ˈkɨjif] either. It's [ˈkɪjiu̯]

[@longwindingroad]

Irena is also Ukraine name.

[@Yohann_Rechter_De-Farge]

10:57 Yahweh, means God

[@YuriyPerez]

Ярослав - це старослов'янське ім'я, значить "слава Ярилі", богу Сонця.

[@ivvainozuk8533]

Я Себастьян, Is it a common name in Ukraine? Here in my country is not a normal name, Greetings from Argentina. ❤

[@SpeakUkrainian]

No, we don't use this name in Ukraine.

[@leeleeds255]

What’s up with the word “glory” in Ukrainian and other Slavic languages? It’s glory this, glory that! Дякую. Слава Україні

[@sergeibrin]

I'm from Ukraine and I hear you. I personally don't like slavic names because I don't want to glorify anybody or anything.

[@JacobPromponasKottakes]

Το όνομά μου είναι Ιάκωβος από τον Ιάκωβο τον αδελφόθεο. Мене звуть Яков від Якова, брата бога.

[@Nuelzhng]

Anyone can give me the Ukraine Name pls

[@YiboZelensky]

Are you a Christian? Miss Inna ✊❤️🇺🇦

[@e1jo]

як можна було "байрактарщину" представляти як популярні українські імена😮?

[@lucatoni4509]

я вже телефоную в сбу!!!111

[@Damio22yt]

Mirosław and Jarosław are popular names in Poland. Their origin is common Slavic not just East Slavic.

[@Pidalin]

When you have such popular names, then why all Ukrainians I know are Vitalij, Anatolij or Sergej? 😀

[@Carantania]

Мене звати Дóмен, я живу в Словенії. Do you have any guys with my name in Ukraine?

[@greatsarmatae]

It's a nice name! But we don't have it

[@liubomyr-peteliuk]

My name is not popular😎

[@radmilaavlijas2222]

Kid of happy South Slavs moved south or maybe you all moved north . Unbelievable
