Yevgeni is Church Slavonic, Greek, Russian in Origin.
Yevgeni is a Latin-script rendering of Russian Евгений and related East Slavic forms, ultimately based on Greek Εὐγένιος (Eugenios), the earliest form behind Eugene. The Greek name rests on εὖ, well, and γενής, born or produced, from the Indo-European root of γένος, kin or race. Its literal sense is well-born, a term originally concerned with lineage rather than moral character.
Christian transmission carried Eugenios into Byzantine and Orthodox naming, where Church Slavonic and local phonology shaped Russian Евгений, Ukrainian Євген, and Bulgarian Евгени. In English-language transcription the same name appears as Yevgeny, Yevgeniy, Evgeny, or Evgeni. Russian cultural associations include Pushkin’s verse novel Yevgeny Onegin, while modern bearers such as poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko and athletes named Evgeni or Yevgeni reflect its continued use across Slavic and diasporic communities.
