Why are Greek and Russian first names similar?
Once upon a time Russia and Greece were under the same church (with the capital being in Constantinople- look up fall of constantinople for more info). They had rows/fights (about how decorative one should be and such) and ended up breaking apart into the modern-day Russian Orthodox Church and the Greek Orthodox Church. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Ch… http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orthodox_Ch… http://en.wikipedia.
