Bogolep

Bogolep (Russian: Боголеп) is an archaic Russian Orthodox Church monastic name created as a calque of the Greek word Theoprepēs (θεοπρεπής), "God-befitting", "marvellous"^[1][2] Theoprepēs, known in Russia as Феопрепий was a martyr venerated in Russian Orthodoxy.^[3] Litvina and Uspensky write that the name is known as an exclusively monastic one, although there are some vague indications that the name could have been used by lay mwn. A number of Russian Orhtodox monks had this name, including:

• Bogolep of Chorny Yar (1647 - 1654), Russian monk venerated in Russian Orthodox Church
• Bogolep was the monastic name accepted by Boris Godunov before the death^[4]
• Bogolep Adamov [ru] (fl. 1700), Russian Orthgodox bishop
• Bogolep Antsukh [ru] (1911-1978) - Archbishop of Kirovograd and Nikolaev of the Russian Orthodox Church
• Bogolep Goncharenko [ru] (born 1978) is the Archbishop of Alexandria and Svitlovodsk of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
