English-Russian Name Cross-Index
by
Jonathan J. Kalmakoff
Many Doukhobor immigrants
to Canada adopted English names in place of, or in addition to, their original
Russian names. Sometimes, the adopted name was the English language
equivalent of the original name. Often, the adopted name sounded
phonetically similar to the original name, coinciding with the first sound
or letters. Occasionally, the adopted name bore no resemblance whatsoever to the
original name. The following index will allow you to cross-reference the
most common adopted English names (left) of your Doukhobor immigrant ancestors with
their original Russian names (right). To search in reverse order by Russian

names used by Doukhobors in Russia and Canada. Instead it is a cross-index of
the Russian names used by Doukhobor immigrants to Canada for which corresponding
English names were adopted.
