HelpRe: Zhivago
in reply to a message by Elle
Zhivago means "the living".
From Britannica online: In the Russian version of the Gospel According to St. Luke, the angels ask the women who come to Christ's tomb: “Chto vy ischyote zhivago mezhdu myortvykh?”—“Why do you seek the living among the dead?”

I was thinking about that name the other day. I am a huge fan of the book and film, Doctor Zhivago, but I never bothered to look up what the name means. It is very fitting as a surname for the title character.
