Bogolep () is an archaic Russian Orthodox Church
monastic name created as a
calque of the Greek word Theoprepēs (θεοπρεπής), "God-befitting", "marvellous"
[ θεοπρεπής, based on Liddell-Scott-Jones, Greek–English Lexicon][ Боголеп In:. "Словарь русских личных имён" ( Dictionary of Russian First Names). ООО Издательство "АСТ". Москва, 2005. ] Theoprepēs, known in Russia as Феопрепий was a martyr venerated in Russian Orthodoxy.
[ АГАФОНИК, ЗОТИК, ФЕОПРЕПИЙ, АКИНДИН, СЕВЕРИАН, ЗИНОН] 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
layman. A number of Russian Orthodox 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
