Thank you very much for visiting this Web site and your interest in learning the etymology of first names. My name is Igor Katsev.
The etymology of names has been my hobby for many years, so I have decided to create and publish this Web site.
I published it on September 10th, 2007.
My goal is to create the largest dictionary of first names in the world. The database will include the first names from all over the world,
and each entry will tell you the origin, pronunciation, and meaning of the name, as well as its historical and religious significance.
So, if this sounds interesting to you, please
bookmark this site to visit it regularly.
I know it is possible, though it will take many years to complete this task. I am working hard to meet this goal, though,
and I do hope to achieve it with your help: please do not hesitate to
contact me if you are aware of any names which are not described here yet,
or if you have any corrections, suggestions or comments.
I look forward to hearing from you!
