Ukrainian name

Ukrainian names are given names that originated in Ukraine. In addition to the given names, Ukrainians also have patronymic and family names (surnames; see: '' Ukrainian surnames'').

Ukrainian given names

Diminutive and hypocoristic forms native to the Ukrainian language have either an empty inflexional suffix (, ) or the affixes ''-о'', ''-е'', ''-ик'' (, , , , , ).

As in most cultures, a person has a given name chosen by parents. First names in East-Slavic languages mostly originate from one of three sources: Orthodox church tradition (which derives from sources of Greek origin), Catholic church tradition (of Latin origin), or native pre-Christian Slavic origins. Most names have several diminutive forms.
