Yegor (, ; ; ) is an East Slavic given name. Other spellings include Egor, Egori, Jegor (a common variant in Slavic countries with a Latin alphabet) and Jegors (Latvian variant).
The name originated as a colloquial form of the name ÃÂõþÃÂóøù, later accepted into formal speech. It is derived from Greek ÃÂõÃÂÃÂóùÿà(Georgy), with initial [ÃÂ] omitted due to merger of soft [ó] -> [ù] before [õ] ([óõ]->[ùõ]->[õ]).. By the same phonemic reason the name ÃÂõÃÂÃÂóùÿàwas earlier converted into ÃÂþÃÂøù -> îÃÂøù, Yury.
