Yuriyivna

Yuriyivna is a patronymic name of Ukrainian origin, derived from the male given name Yuriy, which is the Ukrainian equivalent of George. Patronymics are a common part of personal names in many Slavic cultures, indicating the father's first name. Therefore, Yuriyivna literally translates to "daughter of Yuriy." It is a feminine patronymic, used to identify a female individual by her father's name. This naming convention is a significant cultural practice in Ukraine, alongside given names and surnames. While not a surname itself, Yuriyivna would typically appear after a given name, for example, "Olena Yuriyivna," meaning "Olena, daughter of Yuriy." The usage of patronymics like Yuriyivna has deep historical roots and continues to be a prevalent aspect of Ukrainian identity and formal address. It signifies lineage and familial connection within the community.
