Nickname Stalin originated from Russian word ? ???? [stal'] (steel). Question yet open. + Copy paste from Wikipedia: Stalin's first name is also transliterated as "Iosif". His original surname, ??? ??????, is transliterated as "Jughashvili" or J?u?a vili. The Russian transliterat ion is "??????????", which is in turn transliterated into English as "Dzhugashvi li" and "Djugashvili"; -????? ("-shvili") is a Georgian suffix meaning "child" o r "son". There are several etymologies of the jugha (????) root. In one version, the name derives from the village of Jugaani in Kakhetia, eastern Georgia.[21] Neo-Nazi and other anti-Semitic sources have claimed that "Dzhuga" or "Jugha" me ans "Jew" in Georgian and hence "Dzhugashvili" literally means "Jew-son" or son of a Jew. This, however, is incorrect as the word for "Jew" in Georgian is "ebra eli" (???????). An article in the newspaper Pravda in 1988 claimed the word derives from the Old Georgian for "steel" which might be the reason for his adoption of the name Sta lin. ?????? ("Stalin") is derived from combining the Russian ????? ("stal"), "st eel", with the possessive suffix -?? ("-in"), a formula used by many other Bolsh eviks, including Lenin. According to theories Mihail Vayskopf [22] version, it is the Ossetian for "rubb ish"; the surname "Jugayev" is common among Ossetians, and before the revolution the names in South Ossetia were traditionally written with the Georgian suffix, especially among Christianized Ossetians. Allusions to the hypothesis of Osseti an ethnicity of Stalin are present in the important Stalin Epigram by Osip Mande lstam: ..When he has an execution it's a special treat, ..And the Ossetian chest swells (Translation by A. S. Kline). Like other Bolsheviks, he became commonly known by one of his revolutionary noms de guerre, of which "Stalin" was only the last. During his education in Tiflis, he picked up the nickname "Koba", the Robin Hood-like protagonist from the 1883 novel The Patricide by Alexander Kazbegi. This became his favorite nickname thr oughout his revolutionary life.[23] Stalin continued to use Koba as his Party na me in the underground world of the RSDLP. During conversations, Vladimir Lenin c alled Stalin "Koba". Among his friends he was sometimes known by his childhood n ickname "Soso" a Georgian diminutive form of the name Iosif (Ioseb). Stalin is also reported to have used at least a dozen other nicknames, pseudonym s and aliases such as "Josef Besoshvili"; "Ivanov"; "A. Ivanovich"; "Soselo" (a youthful nickname), "K. Kato"; "G. Nizheradze"; "Chizhikov" or "Chizhnikov"; "Pe

trov"; "Vissarionovich"; "Vassilyi".[24]. Directly following World War II, as th e Soviets were negotiating with the Allies, Stalin often sent directions to Molo tov as "Druzhkov".
