By custom, like with many Patriarchs around the world, the Supreme Pontiff of the United Roman-Ruthenian Church may either use one of his Christian names or take a new name for his reign. Prince Rutherford took the slavic name of Radislav as equivalent, a phonetic derivation and cultural adaptation. This was solemnised by being blessed and used in prayers in a Church in Eastern Europe. His patron saint taken at Chrismation is St. George.

Also, St. George, though a Roman officer, was of Greek origin. He was from Cappadoccia, in Anatolia. He not only is a major figure within the history and patrimony of the Catholicate and entire United Roman-Ruthenian Church, he is also widely respected and venerated, from Italy, Russia, Spain, France, and England, among many others.
