Aventina ( Russian: Авенти́на) is a Russian female first name. [1] Its masculine version is Aventin. [1]
The name was included into various, often handwritten, church calendars throughout the 17th–19th centuries, but was omitted from the official Synodal Menologium at the end of the 19th century. [2] However, according to other sources, this name is non-canonical. [3] In 1924–1930, the name was included into various Soviet calendars, [4] which included the new and often artificially created names promoting the new Soviet realities and encouraging the break with the tradition of using the names in the Synodal Menologia. [5] It was rationalized as a form of the male name Aventin, itself a form of Aventinus, a son of Hercules. [6]
The diminutives of "Aventina" are Aventinka (Авенти́нка), Ava (А́ва), Venya (Ве́ня), Vena (Ве́на), and Tina (Ти́на). [1]
