Oleg (Russian: Олег), Oleh (Ukrainian: Олег), or Aleh (Belarusian: Алег) is an East Slavic given name. The name is very common in Russia, Ukraine, and Belаrus.

Origins

Oleg derives from the Old Norse Helgi (Helge), meaning "holy", "sacred", or "blessed".^{[citation needed]} The feminine equivalent is Olga.^{[citation needed]} While Germanic in origin, "Oleg" is not very common outside Eastern European countries, while "Helge" and "Helga" are common names in Scandinavia.^{[citation needed]}

Russian pronunciation

Олег (Oleg) is pronounced [ɐˈlʲek] in Russian. The English pronunciation of Oleg is based on the transliteration of the Cyrillic alphabet, and overlooks four key features of the Russian pronunciation:

The stress is on the second syllable. In spoken Russian, the initial short unstressed 'O' is reduced to [ɐ], similar to the 'a' as in 'about'.
The 'л' (l) becomes palatalized to [lʲ] ─ that is, it gains a 'y'-like quality, and but is still most closely approximated by a plain English 'l'.
The Russian letter 'e' is pronounced 'ye' as in 'yellow'.
The final 'г' (g) is devoiced to [k].

Thus although English speakers tend to pronounce the name as 'Óh-legg', in Russian it sounds more like 'Al-yék', the equivalent of Alec.

Ukrainian pronunciation

The Ukrainian pronunciation of the name 'Олег' is different from Russian, though the same Cyrillic letters are used in writing. Ukrainian 'Олег' is pronounced [oˈlɛɦ] and becomes 'Oleh' in English according to the transliteration rules.^[1]

Belarusian spelling and pronunciation

In Belarusian, the name is spelled and pronounced as "Алег" [aˈlʲeɣ] so that the first letter changes to "A" according to the Belarusian feature of akannye. The last letter is also pronounced differently, which renders the Latin transliteration 'Aleh'.
