As part of the "Unique Names" series, we present 37-year-old Vilena Isakova, a resident of the village of Boo-Terek, located in the Bakai-Ata district of the Talas region.
Many people find it difficult to remember her name, often calling her Elena or Belena.
“I was born on September 2, 1987, in the village of Aral in the Talas district. My name is Vilena, but in official documents, it is written as Velena. My aunt on my mother's side gave me this name. I was born in the Soviet Union, and my name contains the initials of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin, which explains its spelling — VILena. When I meet new people, they often ask me to repeat my name several times. Many wonder if I am Kyrgyz,” shares Isakova.
Additionally, she recalled that when her future husband heard her name, he wrote it down as Zelena in his phone book.
“I got married in 2011. My husband's relatives quickly remembered my name. However, he prefers to call me Lena,” noted Vilena.
Currently, she works as a methodologist at vocational college No. 41.
