What is the Russian language equivalent of the name Robert?

Answer 1

Since Russell originally is French for "Redhead" - рыжый - there is no equivalent in Russian or the other Slav languages, which have a very different tradition for personal names. Yet, it could be a surname, like Czech Červený, also common in Slovak - and from there in Hungarian: Cserveny. Ukrainians also have their Червоненко. Russian Краснов Originally in Russian красный meant pretty, not red. Hence the Red Square and прекрасный - not - G-d forbid! - прекрасивый... So keep calling them Рассель - мягкий знак and everything... After all, Russell the Brit was a fellow traveller - a friend of the Bolsheviks and an enemy of the West. And Russell Crowe does not care.
