Zhivago, of Slavic origin, is a unique and distinctive given name that translates to 'living' or 'alive'. It gained prominence through Boris Pasternak's 1957 novel 'Doctor Zhivago', which tells the story of its eponymous protagonist against the backdrop of the Russian Revolution. The name's literary association has contributed to its enduring appeal, often chosen by parents seeking a name that is both meaningful and distinctive.
