What name is being translated? Male and female names. Unusual female names

“What’s in your name?” - the poet asked his unknown interlocutor. Humanity has been struggling with this same question, but in a broader sense, for centuries, but the names are in no hurry to reveal all their secrets. Even notorious materialists and skeptics do not choose the first names they come across for their children, thereby recognizing that the name becomes a person’s calling card in society, a part of him. Many people are sure that an individual name not only contains information about its owner, but is also capable of participating in the formation of his character and influencing his future life. In this regard, the famous phrase “What you name a yacht, so it will sail” is often recalled. What can we say about man - a living being connected with the universe by thousands of threads!

Personal names are the object of study of anthroponymy, a branch of the science of onomastics. Within its framework, researchers study their origin, evolutionary development, laws and features of functioning. Each name, whether it is originally Slavic or borrowed from other languages, for example, Greek and Hebrew, has its own history and meaning. The original meaning of many names was lost in the thick of centuries, erased, and ceased to be taken literally. In addition, not all people are interested in the meaning of their name, thereby missing out on the opportunity to learn more about themselves and their life prospects. Meanwhile, the research of modern anthroponymists is aimed at compiling a psychological portrait of a typical representative of a particular name, because even earlier it was discovered that people with the same name have much in common in character, fate and even appearance.

Of course, one should not exaggerate the role of the name in the formation of personality, but still it deserves the closest attention. Choosing a name for a child should be conscious, thoughtful, taking into account various factors. In the life of an adult, it is also possible to change a name, so the information presented on our website will be useful not only to those who are looking for a name for a newborn boy or girl. For people who do not intend to change their other “I,” a closer acquaintance with the meaning of names can also bring a lot of benefits - in particular, it can suggest directions for working on themselves, on compatibility with others and fruitful interaction with them.

In this section of our website you can find not only the meanings of names, but also a variety of related information, for example, about name days, lucky days, useful practical tips, excursions into history and much more.

In ancient times, it was believed that a person’s name determined his character and destiny. After all, a name is also a word that has its own meaning. Each people had their own names, which carried a certain symbolic meaning. Later this symbolism was lost, but the names remained.

How are names translated? The science of onomastics answers this question. Let's turn to her. The main sources of currently popular Russian names are ancient Greek, Hebrew, Latin and Slavic languages.

Russian names of origin

We know from history that Christianity appeared in Rus' in the 10th century. Until this time, the names were Slavic. Their meanings are clear even now, for example, Lyudmila - “dear to people”, Bogdan - “Given by God”. Recently, the fashion for Slavic names has returned and parents are increasingly giving them to their children. Let's look at some of them as examples:

• Lada - goddess of love;
• Boris is a fighter;
• Vadim - sowing confusion;
• Faith - faith;
• Vladimir - owner of the world;
• Vyacheslav - more glorious;
• Love is love;
• Milena - sweetheart;
• Hope - hope;
• Svetlana - light;
• Yaroslav - having bright glory

How names are translated from other languages

German-Scandinavian names were no less popular, because it was through the territory of Rus' that the famous route “from the Varangians to the Greeks” passed. Such popular names as Olga (“holy, bright”) and Igor (“strength, warrior”) are of northern origin.

After the baptism of Rus', the names that were indicated in the calendar became popular. Saints are a list of names and days of the year corresponding to the celebration of name days - Name Day. These names belonged to saints revered by the Church, and the dates were the days of honoring these saints. This is where the tradition of naming came from. It was based on the names of saints, martyrs, apostles and biblical righteous people.

But in a short time, the people had not yet gotten used to other people’s names, the meaning of which was very vague. Therefore, in those days, many people had two names: the first, worldly - the one that his parents gave him, and the church - the one that he was given in the church during baptism. Gradually, new names replaced the old ones. But initially alien Greek, Roman and Jewish names acquired a new sound, more pleasant to the Russian ear. So, Basileus became Basil, and Justinia became Ustinia.

How are names translated from Greek?

There were Greek names in the calendar for a reason. After all, there were a lot of saints, Greeks by origin. However, names that sound euphonious to the Greek ear, such as Akaki (“white, light”) were not popular in the Russian language. And if in pre-revolutionary Russia it was still possible to meet a person with that name, now few would think of calling a child that. Let's look at some examples of names of Greek origin:

• Alexander is a protector of people;
• Alexey - defender;
• Anastasia - resurrected;
• Anatoly - eastern;
• Angelina - messenger;
• Andrey - brave;
• Vasily - royal;
• Galina - silence;
• Georgy is a farmer. Related names - Yuri, Egor;
• Dmitry - dedicated to the goddess Demeter;
• Evgeniy/Evgeniya - noble, noble;
• Ekaterina - pure;
• Elena - light;
• Zoya - life;
• Irina - peace;
• Christina - dedicated to Christ;
• Ksenia - guest;
• Nikita is the winner;
• Peter - stone;
• Sophia - wisdom;
• Fedor is God's gift.

How are names translated from Hebrew?

Names of Jewish origin are also associated with saints, including those of the Old Testament. Examples:

• Anna - grace, grace;
• Daniil (and Russian form - Danilo) - God's judgment;
• Eve - life;
• Elizabeth - worshiper of God;
• Ivan is the mercy of God. The names Yang, Yana are also translated;
• Elijah - the popular form of the name Elijah - the power of God;
• Mary - excellent (according to other interpretations - bitter);
• Michael - godlike;
• Raphael - healing by God;
• Solomon - peaceful;
• Tamara - fig tree;
• Jacob - the popular form of the name Jacob - was the name given to the second-born of two twins, the brother of Esau.

How are Roman names translated?

The Roman Empire was a huge state, and the Roman language was widespread in various areas of the continent. It is not surprising that many Roman names were included in the calendar and became popular among us. Examples:

• Valentin/Valentina - healthy/healthy;
• Valery/Valeria - healthy/healthy;
• Victor/Victoria - winner/winner;
• Konstantin - permanent;
• Maxim - the greatest (maximum);
• Marina - sea;
• Natalya - dear;
• Pavel - baby;
• Sergei - tall, highly respected;
• Tatyana is a calmer;
• Ulyana is the Russian form of the name Juliania - from the Yuli family.

A number of modern Russian names have their origins in the Persian language. The Persian king named Darayavaush was called Darius by the Greeks. This name was quite common, and it was translated as “king”. Among Russian names, the feminine form of this name is more popular - Daria - “queen”. The Greek name of another Persian king - Cyrus - is translated as "lord", "sun" or "far-sighted". The popular Russian name Kirill, although considered Greek, originates from Ancient Persia. The name Kirill literally translates as “little master.”

To find out how to translate names, just look at sites where there are interpretations of names and the history of their origin.

Hi all! I wonder if many married ladies wear engagement/wedding rings?
I probably wore it for the first month. I can’t stand it - it’s kind of yellow and wide. And for me all these attributes mean nothing.
Moreover, I can’t remember if my friends and acquaintances wear these attributes. I never paid attention.

Live well!

This announcement in the children's pavilion made my day_ "Please. Don't forget to pick up the children!"

Athena

We are talking about mother-in-law and sister-in-law. I was very tired of annoying visits to our dacha without an invitation and staying there for a month or two. It would be nice if we had common points of contact, there was something to talk about or at least some kind of family relationship, but everything is muted there.

The mother-in-law comes to her home, hangs out her towels, plants and digs up trees at her own discretion, brings some fragrant fertilizers, in general everything is “just the way I like it.” You can’t leave a child with her, there’s no trust, because she’s “wonderful” - she can leave a five-year-old child alone at home while she goes off on business, I haven’t heard about hygiene: her hands and nails are always black, she doesn’t wash her hands after using the toilet, all the dishes are done after it in greasy and sticky spots. This is so disgusting girls!

According to the first one, I tried to build a respectful relationship: I invited her into the house, set the table, gave me expensive wine, but in the conversation I heard that the cutlets were a bit dry and that I was still a bitch! And I decided that she and I didn’t need to sit at the same table. Apparently I can’t save my family, no matter how much I want to. I'm not ready for such impudent attacks on my country house.

We live in the city in my apartment: me, my husband, and my 5-year-old daughter. The house was built by my husband. I would like to hear opinions on what I can do in this situation so as not to be upset anymore. I haven’t slept for two nights... I can’t do anything... She’s sitting there at our dacha, and we’re toiling in the stuffy city, and on the weekend my husband suggested (apparently that mommy should stay there) that we go to his friend’s dacha (who he doesn’t call and doesn’t even pick up the phone when his husband calls him).

I am not interested in being a poor relative, especially since I have a good position and earn normal money. I can theoretically rent a dacha in the Moscow region myself, but it’s such a shame that I do everything myself. And I take my child to the sea myself, because he is sorry for the money - there is a village, and now it has been occupied.

Next week, my sister-in-law is sending her children to us... So that they can live there for another month... The house, I tell you, is not made of rubber, and all of us will not fit there even if I get over my disgust towards my mother-in-law's sloppiness...

Fairy, just Fairy

Lots of letters.
Sasha and Dasha met as students, were friends for 4 years, got married. She said that you don’t need to get married right away, so who would listen ((
The problem was Dasha. More precisely, it’s not a problem, the person just had to be allowed to live independently, and only then build his own family. Her mother has big, big bells and whistles, she crushed Dasha when Sasha introduced us to her, the first impression is a thin, thin sprout that is just crawling out of the ground. She would like to live at least a year without her mother, just alone, but love is carrots, we ran to the registry office.
After the wedding, they united the premarital, bought three rubles in a new building, got pregnant, it’s like live and be happy. After the birth, a paragraph began ((((Sasha from a family with the model “father is the breadwinner, mother is the keeper of the hearth,” and mother’s Dasha, who transferred her own cockroaches to her daughter’s family life, instead of help, a daily lecture that a good wife has her husband’s dirty socks washed on the same day and for a husband there should always be first, second and compote. Sashka’s brain was inserted, he began to actively help Dasha and his mother-in-law began to come only in his presence, but it was too late,
It ended sadly. When Andryushka was 9 months old, Dashka had a breakdown. During the next scandal, she rushed out of the house in only a robe at 3 a.m. and left. Thanks to her friend, she took her, but she had to call an ambulance, emergency hospitalization in a psychiatric hospital. Dasha stayed in the ICU for almost six months, was discharged, and never returned to her family. She moved to the metropolis, got a job, 2 years later she got married a second time and gave birth to a daughter. She was widowed while pregnant, inherited her husband’s business, and now everything is fine with her. I started communicating with my son as soon as I left the hospital.
Sasha also got married. Nadya, a little older, her first marriage broke up due to her infertility, was purposefully looking for a man with children. She accepted Andryushka as one of her own and adopted her as a common child.
When Sasha was filing for divorce, she said that they should determine the child’s place of residence with you, but again, who would listen ((
Andryushka is happy with everything and calls them both mothers. He is almost 7 and is going to school this year. There is mom Nadya, who is always with him, dad and his adored little brother, dad and mom promise to buy a little sister. And holiday mother Dasha, who takes her with her on weekends and on all sorts of trips across the seas and oceans, plus her beloved little sister too.
The problem is that Dasha decided that she needed to take Andryushka. Sasha and her family live in a small town, she is in the regional center, she wants to send her to a good school. Sasha, of course, categorically does not want to give up his son.
People are sane, so far everything is quiet and peaceful, but a scandal is brewing.
The question is - what is best for the child? Should I leave my dad in the family or give it to my mom, where there will be more opportunities for education?

Girls, this is a chatty topic)

I have a friend; in December she had a complex, paid operation; she was on sick leave for a long time. I went back to work in April, and after 1.5 months they were sent on unpaid leave. She found a new job as of July 1st. But apparently it’s difficult to live financially, although she doesn’t complain or ask.

Her parents did not offer her financial help, although they have such an opportunity. She has grandparents, a sister, aunts and uncles and their children (cousins). Everyone lives normally. Although if my friend had asked, they would have helped her. I offered to help her, she thanked her and said that she would probably contact her in July, because... The first salary will be in August.

Moreover, yesterday she met her ex-husband and he also proposed to her, knowing about her difficulties (they have a normal relationship). She didn’t take it, she also left it as a last resort. My friend and I chatted about this topic. But this just a pretty clear example on this topic, we are not talking about a friend and her family.

Are your family offering you help without your request? Do you yourself offer help to your relatives without their request? In what situations?

For many parents, choosing a name for a daughter has always been, is and will be a very difficult issue. Young families select several options in advance and make a list, but even in this case, only one name needs to be chosen from this list, and this is very difficult. In addition, parents understand perfectly well that the child will have to live with this choice all his life. The main criterion in selecting a suitable option is the consonance of the name with the patronymic and surname, while its rarity, beauty and unusualness play an important role. Many also want to give their children rare and original names, and the demand for them is growing every year. After all, a beautiful, exotic and rare name provides the child with increased attention.

The choice of what name to give a daughter very often turns into a subject of fierce debate between all relatives. Modern parents very often resort to the help of lots, the church or astrological calendar.

Subconsciously, everyone wants to choose not only a beautiful, but also a happy name for their daughter, because deep in their souls they understand that with a name they are partly choosing the fate and character of a person. Scientists have proven that ancient names have strong energy, which is why recently it has become very popular to call children Old Slavonic, Old Russian, Orthodox names.

Ancient and rare names

Many names appeared in our culture from the ancient Christian world and do not have Slavic roots. But some native Russian women's names are associated with the beliefs, history, customs and rituals of the ancient Slavs. Such rare names of girls include: Zabava (cheerful, mischievous), Snezhana (tender, modest), Dobroslava (sensibly thinking), Mstislava (demanding).

The cultural ties of our ancestors (ancient Slavs) contributed to the exchange of traditions and customs with the cultures of neighboring peoples. This also affected names, most of which are of Scandinavian origin. Not all of them are forgotten; some are still relevant today. For example, Rogneda (born for fame and success), Helga (then interpreted into a more euphonious Olga for the Slavic ear), Inga (winter), Kara (“curly”, Karina came from him).

Names with meaning

When naming, you need to pay attention to the meaning of the name. As you know, a name influences a person’s character and destiny. For example, if you have a dream for your daughter to be a successful, purposeful winner in life, you should name her Victoria, but this name is very common and not rare. A rarer and more unusual name for a girl would be Anfisa, which is translated from Greek as “blooming.” A little girl with this name is very calm, but as she grows up, she becomes stubborn and decisive, does not commit rash acts and always finds a common language with people.

An interesting name is Valeria, translated from Latin as “strong”. A child with this name, as a rule, has a well-developed imagination and excellent memory. She is an unpredictable and sensual person. Adult Valeria is a caring, thrifty and hospitable woman.

A very rare name for a girl is Dominica, translated from Latin as “lady”. Girls with this name have good intuition and know how to lead and manage. They, as a rule, are confident in themselves, always follow through with everything, and achieve success in painting, design, and architecture.

Rare names

Many parents try to name their child a name that is not very popular, that is, rare and unique, but at the same time beautiful and harmonious. Such names, according to statistical services, include: Lyubava, Cleopatra, Leia, Aurora, Vesna, Nicoletta, Ustinya, Indira, Emily, Alexandria, Bozena.

Popular, but at the same time very rare names for girls come to us from other cultures, songs, films. For example, Bella (European); Venus, Stella, Liliana, Palmyra, Regina (Latin); Juno, Helia, Oia, Melania, Ellina, Yunna, Ida, Nellie, Olympias, Junia (Greek); Daniela (Hebrew); Caroline (German).

Unusual female names

There are always and at all times lovers of everything original. According to statistics, the most unusual and rarest names for girls are: Chelsea, Russia, Joy, Legend, Oceana, Byzantium, Luna, Cherry.

Some parents give names to their daughters that belong to fairy-tale characters: Malvina, Roxana, Jasmine.

Beautiful foreign names

Foreign names are relevant, fashionable, but at the same time rare. This tradition of naming is connected with the fact that English has become an international language, so some names are always heard. For example, popular but not very common names are: Grace, Camilla, Bella, Jessica, Roxanne, Carolina, Monica, Vanessa, Charlotte, Patricia, Stefania, Nicole. Many mothers and fathers consider these names to be the most beautiful.

Strange female names

There are also very strange names, which are the result of the originality of the parents and a creative approach to naming. This trend was most widespread in the Soviet era: Pravdin, Stalin, Traktorina, Drezin and so on.

Some names are half-hearted acronyms or shortened slogans: Velira - "Great Workforce", Dinera - "Child of the New Era".

But this phenomenon is widespread not only in our country, Gwyneth Paltrow’s daughter’s name translated from English is “Apple”, Julia Roberts’ name is “Hazelnut”, Madonna’s is “Bell”.

• Zlata. The name is most likely of Hebrew origin, the root “zlat” meaning “gold”. A woman who bears this name is very thrifty, economical, intellectual, tactful, attentive, but can be secretive and even suspicious.
