Read the full guide

Three parts: given name, patronymic, family name

A Russian full name has a given name, a patronymic made from the father's name, and a family name. A man's card gives both patronymics: Ivan's son is Ivanovich, his daughter Ivanovna. Family cards give the woman's form too, Smirnov and Smirnova. Draw a given name and a family name, then borrow a patronymic from a second man's card.

Short forms and how common a name was

Cards add the everyday short form where the dictionary lists one: Ivan is Vanya, Ekaterina is Katya. 'In mass use in 1988' means the name went to more than 50 in every 1,000 Leningrad newborns that year; wide use is 20 to 50, limited use 1 to 20. 2003 top ten under More filters keeps Nikita, Darya and 17 more.

Tips

For one random Russian name in all three parts, draw a man's given name, a second man's card for the patronymic, and a family name.
The Latin spelling follows the Cyrillic letter by letter, so Юлия is Yuliya; some cards add the English form.
The row under More filters covers given names only; leave it on Any list when you draw family names.

Questions and answers

Are these real Russian names?

Yes. The given names are from tables of newborns' names in Russian Wikipedia's article on Russian personal names, kept only when the name has its own Wiktionary entry. The family names are the first 150 of a published list of 250 found across Russia.

Where do the patronymics come from?

From the name's entry on English or Russian Wiktionary, never from a rule of our own. That matters for names like Ilya, whose patronymics are Ilyich and Ilyinichna, and Lev, which gives Lvovich and Lvovna.

Why does a family card say 'first 50' and not a rank?

The list holds the surnames a 2005 study found in all five regions it covered. Wikipedia prints them in order but does not say what the order measures, so a card says first 10, 50, 100 or 150 and claims no rank.

How old are the given-name figures?

The bands are for Leningrad newborns of 1988, and the other lists date from 1961, 1973 and 2003. No official open table of today's names could be read, so a card shows a name's standing then, not now.

How this list was compiled: Verify-first step, 2026-09-30: no official open table of given names could be read (Moscow's open data portal did not answer), so the given names rest on the fallback the plan allows, a name's own English Wiktionary entry stating its language, and that source was confirmed for 170 names before any was listed. Which given names: the frequency tables in Russian Wikipedia's article 'Русское личное имя' (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Русское_личное_имя, section 'Частотность использования имён', read 2026-09-30 with the four table templates it includes). They are: names of newborns in Leningrad in 1988 in three bands of use, more than 50 in every 1,000, 20 to 50, and 1 to 20, which the article credits to A. V. Superanskaya and A. V. Suslova; V. A. Nikonov's 1961 tables for newborns in seven regional cities and the rural districts of nine regions; and the ten most frequent names of newborns in Russia in 1973 and in 2003. Those tables hold 236 names; a name is listed only if it has a Russian given-name entry of the same sex on English Wiktionary (https://en.wiktionary.org, CC BY-SA 4.0, read 2026-09-30 through the MediaWiki API) that is not a diminutive of another name, which leaves 170: 83 women's and 87 men's names. Left out for want of such an entry: Август, Ада, Александрия, Ананий, Антонин, Аполлон, Арина, Арсений, Артемий, Бронислав, Валериан, Василина, Веселина, Викентий, Викторина, Вилена, Виль, Виталия, Витольд, Влада, Владилена, Владислава, Власта, Дан, Дана, Данила, Дарина, Добрыня, Донат, Злата, Иванна, Илларион, Иннокентий, Ираклий, Лаврентий, Лия, Любава, Марианна, Марьяна, Мелитина, Милада, Милан, Милана, Милена, Мирослав, Назар, Настасья, Нелли, Ника, Нинель, Нонна, Прохор, Рада, Радислав, Радмила, Рафаил, Руфина, Сава, Савва, Серафима, Симона, Славяна, Тамила, Феликс, Эльмира, Янина. A card gives the 1988 band in the study's own terms (mass, wide or limited use, as defined above) and, for a name with no 1988 band, names the other tables it is on; the article's per-thousand figures are not printed. The card prints the short form and the patronymics in Latin letters by the same romanization; their Cyrillic forms are in x.short and x.patronymics. Where a line would run past the site's length for a card line, the English equivalent is left off (15 cards). The Latin spelling that leads a card is a letter-for-letter romanization (BGN/PCGN, soft and hard signs dropped, a final -ий written -y); where the Wiktionary entry gives a transliteration that differs only in such details, that spelling leads. 'In English' is the equivalent the entry gives. The short form is the entry's hypocoristic, or its first listed diminutive (77 cards). Patronymics, men's names only: the first regular male and female form among the patronymics the English Wiktionary entry lists (31 names), else those in the name's Russian Wiktionary entry (https://ru.wiktionary.org, fields отч-муж and отч-жен, 54 names), else the patronymic's own Russian Wiktionary entry naming the given name (2 names); colloquial contractions such as Иваныч are passed over. Family names: the list of 250 'all-Russian' surnames of E. V. Balanovskaya and colleagues (Meditsinskaya Genetika, 2005, no. 1), as printed in Russian Wikipedia's 'Список общерусских фамилий' (https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Список_общерусских_фамилий, read 2026-09-30): surnames found in all five regions the study covered. Listed: its first 150 names, each with a band by its place in the printed list (first 10, 50, 100, 150); the article does not say what the order measures, so the card says 'among the first' and claims no rank. The woman's form adds -а; all 150 names end in -ов, -ев, -ёв or -ин, and 98 of them have an English Wiktionary entry that gives the same feminine form (script check, 2026-09-30). x.type is what the Name type row filters on (family, family-50, family-10, girl, boy); x.era is what the given-name row filters on (1988-mass, 1988-wide, 1988-limited, 1961, 1973, 2003) and family cards carry none; x.ascii is the Latin spelling for sorting. Counted from this file: 320 cards, 150 family names, 83 women's names and 87 men's names. No meanings are printed. Every card that states a meaning, an origin or another form of the name carries the address of the page that statement was read on in x.src (and a second reference in x.src2 where one was used).
