I grew up in a very Russian neighborhood - both girls I knew with that name were Russian. I don't know if the name actually was, but I've only ever heard it on Russian people. But I've noticed that a lot of popular Russian names are not actually Russian in origin. I wanted to list a lot more, mostly names of girls I knew, but doe a lot of them I chose not to because I wasn't actually sure if they were Russian, like Marina, Julia, Bella, Sofia/Sophia, Adelina... all of them were born in. The only people I've ever known with these names were born in Russia, but those names aren't super Russian :P

Other girls I knew, though I wasn't crazy about their names, were Irina, Inna, Isfira, Yelena, Olga, Svetlana, Bronislava, Lyudmila. I didn't mention them originally since I'm not too fond of them, but in case you were looking for Russian names, I suppose I might as well help out.

Oh - one name I forgot to mention that I DO like is Ksenia/Ksenya.

I have a similar sitch with boys' names, though if you are in fact looking I could suggest a few more of those too if you'd like :)

Sorry, I'm not an expert on Russian names. I was relying on an internet source that identified them as Russian names.
