Russian-English 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 original Russian names (left) of your Doukhobor immigrant ancestors with their most common adopted English names (right).

Notes

This is not a comprehensive index of all names used by Doukhobors in Russia and Canada. Rather, it is a cross-index of the Russian names used by Doukhobor immigrants for which corresponding English names were adopted in Canada.
