Hey French,

I was wondering if you had any knowledge on slavic names, or if you knew anyone who might. I'm making an OC for a Marvelverse, and I want him to be a Polish man named Alexi Zaryanov, because Alexi means "to help, defend" and one source out of the one I've been able to find claims Zaryanov "metaphorically means 'the glowing sky during civil twilight' or 'the bright dawn after the darkest night' in Russian," which really flows with the idea of heroes and how they usher in the brightest dawn after the darkest night, plus this guy goes through the ringer in his own life before becoming a hero. I want to  Zaryanov  actually means that, and if so, could a Polish person be named that.
