Re: newcomer and some questions
Welcome aboard, Shiraz!
The ultimate etymology of Neshka appears to be Agnes, meaing "pure" in Greek.
The Russian form of the name is Agnessa from which scores of variations
evolved throughout the Slavic world (Neshka, Neska, Nesha, Nessa, Nesya etc etc).By the way Daividh has a dear bearded aunt called Agnes-Neshka.
