ArchivesRe: Pondering female Russian names
in reply to a message by Lillian
Some listed in a book I have are:
Amaliji (Amelia)
Anstice
Cyzarine
Parashie (Pasha)
Rahil (Rachel)
Those were the only ones listed. I never really noticed how so many of the female Russian names ended in "A".

Amaliji (Amelia) - there definitely is Amalija, but not Amaliji.
Anstice, Cyzarine - these two look quite un-Russian.
Parashie (Pasha) - well, there is a Parasha, which is pet form of Praskovya, if I'm not mistaken. As for Pasha, it could also be a pet form of Pavla.
All of these end in A, however.
I can come up with another one Ruf' - the Russian form of Ruth - old-fashioned as well.
