Name Svarog

East Slavic name (Russian Сварог) from Sanskrit (स्वर्ग) [svarga] - "heaven, paradise, Eden"

Svarog is a Slavic deity known primarily from the Hypatian Codex, a Slavic translation of the Chronicle of John Malalas. Svarog is there identified with Hephaestus, the God of the blacksmith in ancient Greek religion, and as the father of Dažbog, a Slavic solar deity. On the basis of this text, some researchers conclude that Svarog is the Slavic God of celestial fire and of blacksmithing.
