Did you know?
- In Russian, names ending in о are usually neuter nouns, but Дие́го remains masculine because it is a foreign name.
- While Russian diminutives usually change the stem, a Russian speaker might use the affectionate suffix -чка to create Диегочка, making the foreign name sound much softer and more 'Russian' than the original.
- If a Russian speaker wants to be very formal, they would pair Дие́го with a patronymic, but since the name has no Russian father's name, the result sounds uniquely exotic.
