# Yegor

Yegor (Russian: Егор,; Belarusian: Ягор, romanized: Yahor; Ukrainian: Єгор, romanized: Yehor) is an East Slavic given name. Other spellings include Egor, Egori, Jegor (a common variant in Slavic countries with a Latin alphabet) and Jegors (Latvian and Lithuanian variant).
The name originated as a colloquial form of the name Георгий, later accepted into formal speech. It is derived from Greek Γεώργιος (Georgy), with initial [Γ] omitted due to merger of soft [г] -> [й] before [е] ([ге]->[йе]->[е]).. By the same phonemic reason the name Γεώργιος was earlier converted into Еорий -> Юрий, Yury.
