-Saints' names would have been part of the Russian naming pool throughout period, indeed even unto the present day - by Russian Orthodox Church doctrine.
-From the collection of Russian name precedents:
-{| class="wikitable"
-|François la Flamme
-|2001.10
-|There was some discussion about the registerability of this name, since the dated examples for the given name and the byname have a temporal disparity of approximately 1400 years. The documentation for ''Turvon'' references a martyr who was a contemporary of the apostles. Given this information, the name ''Turvon'' falls into the category of a saint's name. As discussed in the September 2001 cover letter, a number of cultures had a tradition of giving their children the names of saints. Therefore, it is possible that this name remained in use long after Turvon's death, making this name registerable despite the temporal disparity in the name as documented.

-Wickenden, of course. He has marked many names as saints names, but not all of the saints names are clearly marked. Any name sourced there from [Lev] is also a saints name, since Wickenden was referencing Eve Levin's unpublished research on medieval calendar names.
-The Manual of Eastern Orthodox Prayers has a calendar of feast days in the back, which indicates which saints are old enough to have been venerated in the Middle Ages. The vast majority of them are also found in Wickenden, albeit under the Russian spelling. I have not found all of them in Wickenden, partly because I have not been able to determine the Russian form of some of them.
