Re: Urm.....
Matryona I think is a variant name of Matrona / Matrena which means "knowledgable woman, mother"Oxana / Oksana could be a variation on O'Ksandr which is a variation of Aleksandr or Aleksandra which means "Steadfast"Unfortunately, I couldn't find Vovo.

Oksana and Ksenia are two different names, although their nn are the same - Ksyusha.
