From Wikipedia

Svarog is a Slavic god who may be associated with fire and blacksmithing and who was once interpreted as a sky god on the basis of an etymology rejected by modern scholarship. He is mentioned in only one source, the Primary Chronicle, which is problematic in interpretation. He is presented there as the Slavic equivalent of the Greek god Hephaestus. The meaning of his name is associated with fire. He is the father of Dazhbog and Svarozhits. Some scholars have suggested that Svarog was created from the figure of Svarozhits and never existed in the beliefs of the Slavs. After Christianization, his name was preserved in toponymy and vocabulary.
