Bogolep (Russian: Боголеп) is an archaic Russian Orthodox Church monastic name created as a calque of the Greek word Theoprepēs (θεοπρεπής), "God-befitting", "marvellous"[1][2] Theoprepēs, known in Russia as Феопрепий was a martyr venerated in Russian Orthodoxy.[3] Litvina and Uspensky write that the name is known as an exclusively monastic one, although there are some vague indications that the name could have been used by lay mwn. A number of Russian Orhtodox monks had this name, including:
- Bogolep of Chorny Yar (1647 - 1654), Russian monk venerated in Russian Orthodox Church
- Bogolep was the monastic name accepted by Boris Godunov before the death[4]
- Bogolep Adamov (fl. 1700), Russian Orthgodox bishop
- Bogolep Antsukh (1911-1978) - Archbishop of Kirovograd and Nikolaev of the Russian Orthodox Church
- Bogolep Goncharenko (born 1978) is the Archbishop of Alexandria and Svitlovodsk of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church
