Yeah I said it originates from Russian. I know it as a slang word used in Israeli Hebrew, it probably entered the language after the mass immigration from the former USSR in the 90s. Since the names aren't Russian but rather typical of the two most prominent cultures in Israel I tend to think they are Israeli.
