The religious tradition that established itself in Rus' with the adoption of Christianity obligated to name the child in honor of one or another saint revered by the Orthodox Church on the day of baptism. However, often baptismal names, borrowed from ancient languages ​​- Greek, Latin, Hebrew, sounded unusual for a Russian person and were incomprehensible in meaning. Therefore, they usually “tested themselves” with live speech, acquiring many diminutive “home” variants in everyday life.

The name Phokas, which goes back to the Greek word phoke - “seal”, belongs to a small group of baptismal names that entered the Russian language almost unchanged. This name was included in the Christian name book - the calendar - in memory of the holy martyr Phokas, Bishop of Sinope. Saint Phocas converted many pagans to the faith of Christ. During the persecution of Christians under Emperor Trajan (98-117), the city ruler forced the saint to renounce Christ. After cruel torture, Saint Phocas was locked in a hot bath, where he died as a martyr in the year 117. The Hieromartyr Phokas is especially revered as a protector from fires, and also as a giver of help to drowning people.

The name Foka came to Rus' along with Christianity in X-XI centuries and initially became widespread in all social strata, but by end of the 19th century century has become rare. In Russian folk use, this name has received several colloquial and vernacular forms, for example, Fokan, Fokash, Fokey, Fochka.
