Abelyar
Appearance
Abelyar (Russian: Абеля́р) is a Russian male first name.[1] It was included into various Soviet calendars in 1924–1930,[2] 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 Synodal Menologia.[3] The name was created to honor Pierre Abélard (romanized from Russian as Pyer Abelyar), a medieval French scholastic philosopher.[1]
