Yevgeney is Greek in Origin.

Yevgeney is a modern transliteration of the East Slavic male name Евгений, ultimately from Greek Eugenios (from eugenes, ‘well-born,’ ‘noble’). The name entered Slavic use through Byzantine and Orthodox Christian tradition and has been widespread in Russia and neighboring countries since medieval times. It appears in literature via Pushkin’s Yevgeny Onegin and is borne by noted figures such as writer Yevgeny Zamyatin and athletes Evgeni Plushenko and Evgeni Malkin.

Because transliteration varies, forms include Yevgeny, Evgeny, Evgeniy, Evgenii, and Yevgeni; related equivalents are Eugene (English), Eugène (French), Eugen (German/Scandinavian), Evgeni (Bulgarian), Yevhen (Ukrainian), and Yauhen (Belarusian). Diminutives in Russian include Zhenya and Zheka; feminine counterparts are Yevgeniya/Evgenia/Eugenia. Yevgeney preserves the initial Ye- sound of Russian and an anglicized -ey ending, but remains much rarer than the standard Yevgeny/Evgeny spellings.
