Svetlana (Russian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Serbian: Светлана; (ベラルーシ語:Святла́на); (ウクライナ語:Світла́на)) is a common Slavic female name, deriving from the Russian word свет ''svet'', which translates into English as "light", "shining", "luminescent", "pure", "blessed", or "holy", depending upon context. The name was coined by Alexander Vostokov and popularized by Vasily Zhukovsky in his eponymous ballad, first published in 1813. The name is also used in Ukraine, Belarus, Slovakia, and Serbia, with a number of occurrences in non-Slavic countries.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Baby Names, Name Meaning, Popularity )〕 In the Russian Orthodox Church ''Svetlana'' is used as a Russian translation of ''Photina'' (derived from φως (''phos''), meaning "light" in Greek), a name sometimes ascribed to the Samaritan woman at Jacob's well (the Bible, John 4). Etymologically, similar names to this are ''Lucia'' (of Latin origin, meaning "light"), ''Claire'' ("light" or "clear" in French, equivalent to Spanish ''Clara''), ''Roxana'' (from Old Persian, "little shiny star, light"), and ''Shweta'' (Sanskrit, "white, pure"). The Ukrainian equivalent is ''Svitlana'' (Світлана), the Belarusian, ''Sviatlana'' (Святлана). The Polish variant is ''Świetlana''. Russian language diminutives include ''Sveta'' (Света) and ''Lana''. ''Sveta'' also means "saint" in Macedonian. The Slavic element ''Svet'' means "blessed, holy, bright". Serbian language diminutives of the name are ''Sveta'' (Света), and ''Ceca'' (Цеца, pronounced Tsetsa). Sveta also means World, Sacred, and Saint. ==People named Svetlana== *Svetlana Abrosimova, professional basketball player *Svetlana Alexievich, journalist, Writer, Nobel Price winner for literature 2015 *Svetlana Alliluyeva, the youngest daughter of Joseph Stalin *Svetlana Biryukova (born 1991), Russian long jumper *Svetlana Boiko, Russian fencer *Svetlana Boginskaya, Soviet Belarusian gymnast *Svetlana Bolshakova, Belgian triple jump athlete *Svetla Bozhkova (or Svetlana), Bulgarian discus thrower *Svetlana Cherkasova, Russian middle distance runner *Svetlana Chmakova, Russian-born comics artist *Svetlana Ishmouratova, Russian biathlete and soldier *Svetlana Kapanina, Russian aerobatic pilot *Svetlana Khodchenkova, Russian actress *Svetlana Khorkina, Russian gymnast *Svetlana Koroleva (model), Russian model *Svetlana Koroleva (water polo), Kazakhstani waterpolo player *Svetlana Koroleva-Babich, Soviet javelin thrower * Svetlana Krachevskaya, Soviet Olympic silver medalist in shot put *Svetlana Kuzina, Russian water polo player *Svetlana Nikolaevna Kryuchkova, Russian actress *Svetlana Valentinovna Kryuchkova, Russian volleyball player *Svetlana Kulikova, Russian ice dancer *Svetlana Kuznetsova, Russian tennis player *Svetlana Loboda, Ukrainian singer *Svetlana Lunkina, Russian ballet dancer *Svetlana Masterkova, Russian middle distance runner *Svetlana Matveeva, Russian chess player *Svetlana Maziy, Ukrainian rower *Svetlana Medvedeva, wife of Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Anatolyevich Medvedev *Svetlana Melnikova, Soviet discus thrower and shotputter *Svetlana Moskalets, Russian heptathlete *Svetlana Nageykina, Soviet/Russian cross-country skier *Svetlana Pankratova, world record-holder for longest female legs *Svetlana Paramygina, Soviet Belarusian biathlete *Svetlana Petcherskaia, Russian biathlete *Svetlana Pletneva, Russian archeologist and historian *Svetlana Ražnatović, Serbian pop-folk singer from Serbia *Svetlana Savitskaya, Soviet cosmonaut *Svetlana Ulmasova, Soviet long-distance runner *Svetlana Zainetdinova, Soviet-Estonian chess player and coach *Svetlana Zakharova (dancer), principal dancer with the Bolshoï Ballet *Svetlana Zakharova (athlete), Russian long-distance runner *Svetlana Vysokova, Russian speed skater 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Svetlana」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
