Russian Girls' Names

The page is dedicated to Russian female names. It includes the original form of the name (used mostly in official situations along with the patronymic and surname), as well as the short form, the diminutive, and the familiar forms (which are much more informal, used among friends and foes). The stressed vowels in names are highlighted in red. In addition, you may want to check out a list of Russian names for boys.
