Can somebody tell me the meaning of the Russian male name Akakij (Akakiy, Akaki - whatever you may spell it, it appears in Gogol's "The Cloak")?
Thank you!

Akakij is derived from the Greek name Akakios, which means without ("a-") evil/badness ("kakia"). It is a rather religious name and one of the top 10 names among for eastern orthodox monks.
