Razin is an uncommon, yet intriguing first name of Slavic origin. It is derived from the Persian word "razin," which means "to flow" or "stream." This name was brought to Eastern Europe by the Mongols during their invasions in the 13th century and has since been adopted into several Slavic languages.
The name Razin is most notably associated with Stepan Timofeevich Razin, a Russian Cossack leader who led an uprising against the Tsarist government in the late 17th century. This historical figure has greatly influenced the perception of the name in Russia and other former Soviet states.
In recent years, the name Razin has seen a resurgence in popularity among parents looking for unique and meaningful names for their children. While it is still relatively rare, it continues to be chosen by families who appreciate its historical significance and distinctive sound.
Razin had 10 babies in total over these two years, with no babies born in 2014 or any other year included in this data set.
