Russian names for girls. Modern beautiful female names: Russian and foreign names for girls by months. Russian names for girls starting with the letter L

The Russian language belongs to the group of Slavic languages. However, many Russian names are not originally Russian by their origin. They are borrowed from the Greek language along with the Christian religion. Before that, Russians had names that reflected the various characteristics and qualities of people, their physical disabilities, names that reflected the birth order of children in the family. There were common names such as Wolf, Cat, Sparrow, Birch, First, Tretyak, Big, Small, Zhdan. The reflection of these names is observed in modern Russian surnames Tretyakov, Nezhdanov, Menshov, etc.

With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', all the old Russian names were gradually supplanted by church names that came to Rus' from Byzantium. Among them, in addition to proper Greek names, were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which reflected a certain meaning in its native language, but when borrowed it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.

By the 18-19 centuries, Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names largely changed their appearance, adapting to the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation. So, the name Diomede was transformed into the name Demid, Jeremiah - Yeremey, etc.

After the October Socialist Revolution, names associated with the new ideology became widespread: Revmira (peace revolution), Diamara (dialectical materialism); names reflecting the first stages of industrialization: Electrina, Elevator, Diesel, Ram, (revolution, electrification, mechanization); names read in foreign novels: Alfred, Rudolf, Arnold; names by flower names: Lily, Rose, Astra.

Since the 1930s, such familiar to us Russian names like Masha, Vladimir, Seryozha, i.e. the names closest to the Russian people are used. But this return to the old names does not at all mean a return to all the names of the church calendar, most of which have remained unaccepted by the Russian nation.

Old Russian names

Many names that we consider native actually appeared in Russian culture from the ancient Christian world and for the most part do not have Slavic roots. The origin of female Russian names is inextricably linked with the history and beliefs, rituals and life of the ancient Slavs. These names include: Dobroslav - sane; Fun - mischievous, cheerful; Mstislava - exacting; Snezhana - modest, gentle.

The most popular modern names for girls

So if you are looking for beautiful yet rare girl names, skip this list of 10 female names.

Names with meaning

It is worth paying attention to the meaning of the female name. We used to believe that whatever you call a ship, that's how it will sail. For example, if you want your girl to be a winner in life, you can call her Victoria. But remember that this name is very popular now!

Here are some examples of the meanings of female names.

Anfisa translated from ancient Greek means "blooming". In childhood, calm, having matured, she becomes decisive and stubborn. He will never commit rash acts, knows how to find a common language with people.

Valeria in Latin means "strong, strong." She is sensual and unpredictable, with a well-developed imagination and an excellent figurative memory. Having matured, Valeria will become a caring, economic and hospitable wife. He carefully approaches the choice of a professional field in which he will become a real specialist.

Dominica means "lady" in Latin. Girls with this name have intuition, a masculine manner to lead and rule. Dominika is self-confident and able to complete the most overwhelming and difficult task. The most inclined to a leadership position, even if it is associated with risk. Achieves success in painting, architecture, design and clothing modeling.

Rare names for girls

Statistics show that many parents tend to choose a name for their child, which is not particularly popular now. If you hold the same views, then keep in mind that quite recently little Aurora, Lyubava, Leya, Ustinya, Emily, Bozena, Nicoletta, Alexandria, Indira, Spring, Malvina, Blanca, Cleopatra have already been born.

When choosing a name for their daughter, parents are guided by various factors, including the memory of a loved one, the unusual sound, and its hidden meaning. Any names carry some information that, after birth, can influence its carrier, forming special habits, worldview, character. In addition, before naming the girl, it is necessary to compare the choice with the patronymic and pronounce the rumor, analyzing the general sound. Consult with relatives, thereby you will find out the collective opinion.

How to name a girl

If you are interested in names for a girl, then think about whether the choice you made is suitable for the baby. Equally important is its acceptance by society. A child living among people, how will they react to a pretentiously exotic option? Each is beautiful, but in its own way, in a certain area and for each nationality.

It would be inappropriate to use an Arabic name for a fair-haired girl living in European territory, even if it is very beautiful, melodic and unusual. It is better to focus on the multinational version, which can be selected from the directory. And if you have a twin girl, then the search becomes much harder. In such cases, it is recommended to call the baby a consonant variant with the name of the second child: Ksenia and Semyon, Olga and Oleg, Masha and Misha.

The beautiful double names of girls Anna-Maria, Sofia-Victoria, Olga-Anastasia are gaining popularity. This happens because parents cannot decide on one of the options. Sometimes mothers believe that this will give the baby a pair of guardian angels at once. Psychologists say that such girls can begin to lead a double life. To prevent this from happening, the child is given one name, which is registered in the registry office, the second - at baptism.

Choosing a name for a girl according to the Orthodox church calendar

Orthodox names have different origins - Hebrew, Greek, Latin. This is due to the fact that the Byzantines "collected" all the options they encountered. The church calendar included Scandinavian - Olga, common Slavic - Bogdan, ancient Germanic - Henrietta. Recently, it has become fashionable to call a daughter according to the holy calendar. To choose your own option for a girl, you need a complete church calendar, in which the name days of the saints are marked for each specific date of the month. Here is an example of several options for Christmas time:

The January girls were called: Anastasia, Ulyana, Eugene, Maria, Tatyana, Eva, Alice, Polina.
