ArchivesRe: Aksana in Central Asia & the Caucasus
in reply to a message by Robert
The thing is, it's a Belarusian name. So how did it end up in Central Asia? I'd be more understandable if it was Russian or used often by Russians, but Belarusian? It might be that it came from Oksana (Ukrainian name, also used by Russians frequently) and was spelt as Aksana by some Central Asians due to pronunciation in their languages or something along those lines.
