Igor
Eastern European name
Igor is a Slavic given name, Russian in origin.
In English-speaking contexts, Igor often evokes the stock character of a hunchbacked laboratory assistant in horror films—though that figure, associated with Frankenstein adaptations, was actually named Fritz or Ygor in early films.
The name carries connotations of Eastern European origin: Igor Stravinsky, Igor the scientist's creepy helper.
