Meaning & Origin
A transliteration of the Ukrainian male given name Арсе́ній (Arsénij)
Arseniy is a boy's baby name of Ukrainian and Russian origin, derived from the Greek Arsenios meaning 'virile' or 'male.' Saint Arsenius the Great (4th–5th century) was an Egyptian Desert Father — a Roman nobleman who became one of the most revered ascetic monks in early Christianity.
Arseniy is the standard Ukrainian and Russian form of this ancient saint's name. It carries Orthodox Christian heritage and the weight of early Christian mysticism — a deeply traditional Slavic choice.
