Berdyaev's given name has been alternatively spelled as..?

  • Niklas

  • Nicolas

  • Nikolaj

  • Niklaus

Answer

The alternative spelling of Berdyaev's given name is "Nicolas." This variation arises due to the transliteration of the Russian name Николай into the Latin alphabet. While the standard transliteration renders it as "Nikolai," some sources employ the French-influenced spelling of "Nicolas." This reflects the influence of French culture on Russian society and literature in the 19th and early 20th centuries.
