Cyrillization of Greek

Cyrillization of Greek refers to the transcription or transliteration of text from the Greek alphabet to the Cyrillic script.

The Early Cyrillic alphabet included the entire Greek alphabet. However, as modern Cyrillic alphabets omit some Greek letters, and others had their pronunciation shift to no longer match their Greek counterparts, Greek names and loanwords are no longer spelled based on letter-to-letter correspondences in modern Cyrillic orthographies: For example, the name Γιάννης would never be transliterated as Гіаннис, but (for example) Яннис in Russian, Янніс in Ukrainian, Янис in Bulgarian, and Јанис in Serbian.
