Ruslan (Russian: Руслан) is a masculine given name mainly popular among East Slavic, Turkic and North Caucasian regions and peoples.^[1] The name is a Russian variant of the Turkic^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]} word arslan or aslan – meaning lion. The name is derived from Eruslan (also Uruslan, Eruslane, Yeruslan) another, earlier Tatar variant of the word. The name became popular through the folk tale hero Yeruslan Lazarevich (originally Uruslan). It is also a masculine given name in Indonesia.

The feminine version is Ruslana.
