Etymology
From Old East Slavic вꙑ (vy), from Proto-Slavic *vy, from Proto-Indo-European *yúHs. Cognate with Sanskrit यूयम् (yūyam) and English you. Use of Вы as a formal singular is attested in East Slavic literature from the 11th-16th century, under influence of Byzantine speech. It started becoming widespread in Russian society during the rule of Peter the Great, under French and German influence, and became ingrained by the 19th century.
