Yegor
(Redirected from Егор)
Yegor (Russian: Егор, [jɪˈɡor]; Belarusian: Ягор, romanized: Yahor; Ukrainian: Єгор, romanized: Yehor) is an East Slavic given name. Other spellings include Egor, Egori, Jegor (a common variant in Slavic countries with a Latin alphabet) and Jegors (Latvian and Lithuanian variant).
The name originated as a colloquial form of the name Георгий, later accepted into formal speech.[1] It is derived from Greek Γεώργιος (Georgy),[a] with initial [Γ] omitted due to merger of soft [г] -> [й] before [е] ([ге]->[йе]->[е]).[b]. By the same phonemic reason the name Γεώργιος was earlier converted into Еорий -> Юрий, Yury.[4]

[edit]Notes
[edit]- ^ Max Vasmer suggests that this derivation from Γεώργιος was possibly under the influence of another Greek name, Γρηγόριος.[2]
- ^ The phenomenon [ге]->[йе]->[е] is still present is colloquial speech or some dialects of Russian: герой (hero) -> ерой[3]
