Soslan (Ossetian: Сосла́н) is an Ossetian[1] male given name widespread among OssetiansinRussia.

Origin[edit]

This given name originates from the Ossetian name for Sosruqo, a character in North Caucasian mythology, in particular, in the Nart saga. It etymologically came from Turkic languages (Nogai suslan- "to look menacing", suslä "menacing, gloomy"). The variant Sosruqo is in turn an Adyghe borrowing from Sosru- (< Soslan) and qo (qwā) "son".[1]

In Ossetia, the name has been in use since at least the 12th century. The first documented person with this name was David Soslan, the second husband of the Georgian Queen Tamar.[2]

Forms[edit]

The Russian patronymic forms are Soslanovich (Russian: Сосла́нович) for men and Soslanovna (Russian: Сосла́новна) for women.
