Anatoly (Russian: Анато́лий, romanizedAnatoliy [ɐnɐˈtolʲɪj],[1] Ukrainian: Анато́лій, romanizedAnatolii [ɐnɐˈtɔl⁽ʲ⁾ij]) is a common Russian and Ukrainian masculine given name, derived from the Greek name Anatolios (Ανατολιος), meaning "sunrise."

Saint Anatolius of Constantinople was a fifth-century saint who became the first patriarch of Constantinople in 451.[2]

Anatoly was one of the five most popular names for baby boys born in St. Petersburg, Russia, in 2004.[3] Approximately one in every 35,110 Americans is named Anatoly, with a popularity rate of 28.48 per million.[4]

The name of Anatolia – a vast plateau that occupies a large portion of Asia Minor in modern-day Turkey – shares the same linguistic origin.
