I don't think Spiridon could be called a variant transcription in the case of Russia; it is just the Russian form of Spyridon. After all, all Greek names containing -y- become -i- in Russian (since the Russian alphabet doesn't have a separate letter for the "ee"-sound written as 'y'). Just compare:
- Cyrus --> Kir
- Cyril --> Kirill
- Neophytos --> Neofit
- Tryphon --> Trifon
And so on. :)
Anyway, Spiridon is also the "national" form of Spyridon in:
- Croatia
- Georgia (written as სპირიდონ in Georgian)
- Serbia (written as Спиридон in Serbian). [noted -ed]
