Yeah.
Slavic is weird like that.
You know what the diminutive for Alexander is?
Sasha!
Not throwing stones though, some of ours are just as weird.

It's not a thing in Western Slavic languages though, here Jan=Ivan and diminutive for Alexander is Olek or Alek
>>58786110
dutch and swedish names are basically the Latin version repeated
>>58787456
>diminutive for Alexander is Olek or Alek
Andu/Xandru/Alex/Sandel/Ali over here.

Never heard a person use this in my entire life.
Xandru sounds weird as hell, man, and Ali sounds too arabic.

Mate Alexander = Sasha is a Russian invention
Not even other East Slavs do that

It's mostly a countryside thing.
There is also Lisandru, from the same root.
>and Ali sounds too arabic.
It's used, at least informally.

How did Grigorij become Grzegorz?
>>58787947

Ri (all softened r) turned into a ż-like sound in Polish and to a degree in Czech. We in Polish describe the sound with two letters, rz.
Similar thing happens right NOW in Turkish language with word-final "r".

I like Shura more. It saves literally nothing from the original name ^_^
