Slavic naming traditions
Old Slavic names often join two parts, like -slav (glory) or -mir (peace or world), giving Vladislav, Bogdan ('given by God') and Ludmila ('loved by the people'). In Russia, Ukraine and nearby countries a person also carries a patronymic from the father's name, such as Ivanovich or Ivanovna. Everyday diminutives are used warmly, so Aleksandr becomes Sasha. In Orthodox and Catholic Slavic countries many people also celebrate their name day.
