Arsenij

Arsenij is a masculine given name used in Slavic-language contexts. It is a variant of Arsenius, which is derived from the Greek name Arsenios, from a root meaning virile or manly.

The spelling Arsenij reflects transliteration choices from Cyrillic alphabets; other common forms include Arseniy, Arsenii, and Arsenius. The name is found in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Bulgaria, and other Slavic-speaking regions, as well as in diaspora communities where local languages adapt the form.

Historically, the name is associated with several saints named Arsenius in the Orthodox Christian tradition, a lineage that has contributed to its continued use in Eastern Europe.
