In the Russian-speaking environment, the name is less common but is increasingly used among Muslim families. Today, the popularity of the name "Vazima" is growing in Central Asia and the Caucasus, where it remains one of the female names with a rich history and meaning. In Russia, the name is still relatively rare but is gaining popularity due to the increasing number of Muslim families. Variants and diminutives of the name include "Vasil," "Vazina," and "Vasilka." Affectionate forms often retain the sound "va-zi" without the "-ma" suffix.
