Yevlaliya Ivanovna revealed that Eduard Hanok changed his name when their daughter Ruslana was born. At the time, Ruslana was registered as 'Elvirovna'. Eduard Hanok joked about taking a creative pseudonym, Elik, and if he had done so, Yevlaliya Ivanovna would be Lyalya.
For many years, Eduard Hanok was officially known as Elvir. However, during his studies at the Moscow Conservatory, he decided to change his name. The Russian variant of his name was granted by the decision of the administration of the Moskauer Konservatorium before its renaming.
Despite his mother's initial objections, everyone now calls Eduard Hanok by the name Eddy. Interestingly, his mother had wanted a daughter and had chosen the name Elvira for him.
