Count: 0 — No Russian boy names starting with W were found. This list targets authentic Russian male names with pronunciation, Cyrillic spelling and meaning, and the absence is rooted in the writing system and sound system: modern Russian uses the Cyrillic alphabet (which has no letter W) and has no native /w/ phoneme, so traditional Russian names do not begin with a Latin W.

Consult authoritative sources such as Russian name dictionaries, civil registry and popularity lists, the Orthodox saints calendar, and academic onomastics to confirm this absence. Expect Western names that use a Latin W (for example, William or Walter) to be adapted into Cyrillic and indexed under U or V (Уильям, Вильям) rather than listed with a W; check names under В (V) or under their Cyrillic spellings for closest matches. Use a consistent transliteration standard (BGN/PCGN or ISO), include clear pronunciation and Cyrillic forms, and exclude doubtful or invented names when compiling alternatives.
