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.

On this page, not only old (Russian calendar, Old Russian and common Slavic), but also new female names.

A name for a person is, as it seems at first glance, just a few letters, but what can be hidden in their consonance? The character, temperament and further fate will depend on how the parents name their child. If you are expecting a baby and do not know what to do: choose a name for the girl by her patronymic or listen to the advice of an astrologer, wait until the baby is born - her happy eyes will tell you themselves.

Congratulations, you have a daughter!

From the first days of pregnancy, expectant mothers begin to come up with names for the child. It is impossible to determine from two strips on the test who is growing in a woman's tummy - a boy or a girl, so a young family is considering both options: how to name a daughter and a son. A few months pass, and the ultrasound machine shows that a girl will appear. Parents are looking forward to this event with joy, because the little princess will bring a lot of happiness to the house and fill it with comfort and warmth.

Very often, young mothers and fathers delay choosing a name for the child, and the child is born nameless. Such a problem arises due to prenatal stress: a woman frantically flips through the pages of magazines in search of suitable options, but the results remain unsuccessful. The fantasy of modern parents can be so rich that at least seven daughters would have to be born to implement the idea. Sometimes the picture becomes different, and mothers are completely bewildered by ignorance of current trends. Is it always worth delving into onomastics, or is it better to follow your intuition and think for yourself how to choose the right name for a girl? There is no single answer to this question, because parents must decide for themselves what is best to do.

Top 5 international female names

Calendar of female names for Christians

Astrologers believe that the child will get sick a little, become successful and happy if you name him in honor of the saint. In the Orthodox calendar, there are Hebrew, Greek, Slavic and Latin names. It is customary to believe that the baby, who was born on the day of commemoration of the saint and named after him, remains under the guardianship of a guardian angel all his life. Names according to the church calendar may not always coincide with the child’s birthday, and if the parents did not like any of the options, they can name the newborn as they wish.

Star Choice

People in show business love to "shine" on television and the covers of glossy magazines and try to distinguish their children from the rest by giving them unusual names. Musician Sergei Shnurov attracts attention not only with his non-standard behavior on stage and screaming lyrics. The scandalous artist named his son Apollo, modestly declaring that the name was given in honor of the famous poet of the nineteenth century. And there really is no connection with the ancient Greek god of art, they say.

Sergey Zhukov and his wife Regina immediately categorically refused simple Russian names and considered only European ones. The couple is raising daughter Nicole and son Angel, assuring that they made such a choice for a reason: before the birth of their second child, they came across images of an angel everywhere, so they decided to name the boy that way. How to name the girl, the parents did not think for a long time, deciding from childhood to make her the winner, like the ancient Greek goddess Nike.

Nineteen-year-old Lera Kudryavtseva immediately decided what to name her first child. The young mother adored Jean-Claude Van Damme and was sure that her son would grow up to be as handsome as his beloved actor. The ex-husband of the TV personality, musician of the Laskovy May group, Sergey Lenyuk, was not opposed, but years later Lera changed her mind and suggested that her adult son take a more traditional name, but the guy refused.

Singer Alsou has two daughters - Safina and Mikkela. She and her husband, businessman Yan Abramov, immediately refused to consider common names. Alsou did not think for a long time how to name her daughter beautifully, because the name Safin completely coincides with the singer's maiden name.

But the Russian theater and film actor Viktor Bychkov decided not to follow Western fashion and called his son the Old Slavonic name Dobrynya. It is not known whether the actor connects his choice with one of the three heroes, but he and his wife hope that the child will bring goodness and justice to the world, as the old Russian fellows did.

Why do celebrities change their names?

Think about it, why do some people get all the best things in life, while most of us are content with the minimum benefits? Everything is simple - a riddle in the name: for some, a rare name is a gift, and for others - a curse. People with a bright pseudonym can easily prove themselves in the creative profession - the producers will fall for such a trick and become interested in the talent of a contender for a worthy title. If a woman or a man really has a great voice or external data, but there is nothing memorable in their initials, you will have to think about a bright pseudonym.

Show business stars change their names not only to attract good luck and wealth, but also to attract the attention of fans. So, Anfisa Chekhova used to be Alexandra, Tutta Larsen - Tatyana, Anzhelika Varum - Maria, Valeria - Alla. However, artists do not always look for outrageous pseudonyms and call themselves simply and consonantly, so that fans do not even have suspicions about such a little trick. Alla Ageeva became Masha Rasputina, Elena Levochkina - Alena Apina, Viktor Belan - Dima Bilan, Inessa Klimchuk - Irina Allegrova, and Maria Sadkova decided to be called briefly and simply - Masha Malinovskaya. Preparing to become parents, celebrities carefully reflect on how you can name a girl or a boy. Some try to shield their children from the press and give them simple names. Outrageous mothers draw attention to the child from the first days of his birth, which can sometimes harm the baby up to the evil eye of ill-wishers.

Closer to school age, boys and girls, having seen enough foreign cartoons, begin to protest to their parents. Masha and Dasha want to become Isolde and Teresa, and their sons ask to be named after their favorite superheroes. Psychologists claim that an unusual name can develop a complex in a child and become the subject of ridicule. Pride quickly goes away, and instead children begin to feel alienated. If in the future you are going to have a child, think carefully about what name to call a girl or a boy, and make a choice consciously. Of course, it cannot be argued that one name is bad and the other is good, because in different areas of life each of them plays a certain role. And do not forget about the spirit of the era. Perhaps now the name you have chosen is more relevant than ever, but what will happen in a couple of decades? In Soviet times, some parents were sure that by naming the baby Dazdraperma ("Long live the First of May"), they would raise a hardworking and obedient girl. The boy Spapuzas ("Thanks to Putin for Sochi") will always remember the merits of Vladimir Vladimirovich, however, there is no guarantee that closer to his mature years he will not become an ordinary Vasya or Petya.

What name to choose for a girl so that she is beautiful and happy?

In ancient times, people were very superstitious, which is associated with the belief in evil spirits. The power of the human name was known to our ancestors from time immemorial, so they deliberately named the child twice. This tradition is still traced among modern peoples. In Rus', the name of the child given to him at baptism was hidden, and in some countries, in addition to the main name, the baby was given a second name, often not quite consonant, so that the dark forces would not harm the child. Parents thought for a particularly long time about how to name the girl in order to endow the future mistress with certain qualities even at birth. Psychologists and astrologers say that the character and fate of the baby will depend on the chosen name.

Parents often name their children as they please - in honor of their favorite artist, dear relative, or by analogy with some abstract phenomena. So, Svetlana most often has a sunny character and cheerfulness, and Lilies, Roses and Asters adopt the signs of flowers - they are proud, gentle and submissive. Beautiful names for girls (Russian) can often be of non-Slavic origin. It will be easy for Orthodox parents to name their daughter whatever they want, and to endow her with qualities that will be easy to bring up later in the baby. Girls with long unusual names are most often distinguished by a complex character and extraordinary thinking. Others, on the contrary, go through life with a confident step due to their simplicity. And one more nuance. It is important that the name is consonant with the surname and patronymic. By choosing good-sounding initials for your baby, you can be sure that he will delight you with his successes.

What's in your name?

In astrology, each letter or number carries a specific meaning. Often people say that some aspects of the character were transferred to the child from the planet that patronizes him. If you do not know how to choose a name for a girl, refer to the stars and they will tell you the right way. In order to correctly name the child, it is necessary to add up the numbers of the date of birth and, thus, find out the number that will correspond to the planet. If the combination is harmonious, the baby will have a happy fate.

How to choose a name for a girl by patronymic and last name?

Could you pronounce, for example, the following from the first time: Razumovskaya Kapitolina Veniaminovna? Probably not. When choosing a name for your child, try to pay attention not only to the meaning that it carries in itself, but also to the consonance of the components. If the father's name is Athanasius, Voldemar, Mstislav, Emmanuel, it is better to call the girl Aglaya, Bella, Vassa, Dana. When the daughter's father is Gleb, Jan, Yegor, Lev, Klim, respectively, her name should be long and majestic. Consider this factor when combined with a surname.

Do not think too long about how to name a girl - names in their diversity can be confusing. Of course, parents dream that the child grows up healthy and happy, so it is important before he is born, at least superficially, to begin to be interested in onomastics. In one of the sections of this science, anthroponymy, you can get acquainted with the origin of the name and learn about other interesting facts.

What is the most common name for girls in Russia

The fashion for names is changeable. At the end of the last century, at the time of the spread of Western films and music in the territory of the former Soviet Union, parents increasingly began to call their children Louise and Alex. Literally a few years later, adults decided to turn to the origins of their state and began to choose other beautiful names for girls - Russian and Ukrainian, such as Praskovya, Vasilisa, Lada. The fair sex wants to hear words of tenderness as often as possible. Having baptized your daughter Nastenka, Annushka or Dashenka, you can be sure that she will be pleased to respond to her name, which sounds in a diminutive form.

In Russia in 2014, mothers are increasingly calling their babies Darina, Sophia, Alina, Zlata, Polina and Valeria. Anastasia remains the most popular name - its owners in the future can try themselves in creative professions. If you will become a mother very soon, but still do not know how to choose a name for a girl, wait until the baby is born, take a look at her face, and perhaps it will give you the answer to this question.

In the past, parents did not come up with names for their children - the clergyman called the baby a certain name during baptism. In Rus', they firmly believed that the name determines the entire history of a person’s life, therefore they completely trusted the church in this. After the baptism of Rus', the child received a double name: one - personal, and the other - according to Christmas time. Today, fortunately, moms and dads have the right to choose a name for their child on their own, but this is not an easy task! There are so many beautiful and harmonious options that it’s time to get confused. Let's find out how to choose a female name for a child.

A little princess is about to appear in your family. The crib has already been assembled and miniature dresses and booties have been bought. With a dowry for a girl, the expectant mother usually does not have any questions, but when choosing a name, doubts and disputes often arise with the father of the child and other family members. What to focus on in this matter, the dictates of the heart or fashion trends, young parents must decide for themselves.

Of course, it also happens that a woman already knows exactly what her baby will be called, immediately after the pregnancy test will please her with two promising strips. Then, for nine months, the happy mother talks with rapture to her belly, where Vera or Arishka grows. Other women, in search of the best and most unique name for their princess, continue to sort through beautiful female names for a child in their minds even after returning from the hospital. In this case, the eldest child or the baby's dad puts the final point in these throwing. Be that as it may, but the selection of a name for the heiress has always been and will be a hot topic for couples expecting a stork.

How to name a child: looking for female names

When puzzled by the choice of a name for a baby, always consider two inviolable rules:

  • the name is approved by mutual consent of the parents, that is, your husband should like your idea as much as you do;
  • the name is selected, focusing on its euphony in conjunction with the girl's surname and patronymic. Agree, Alexandrova Alexandra Alexandrovna sounds strange (we, of course, exaggerate, but you understand the train of thought).

The opinion that a girl's name must necessarily be modern and fashionable is subjective, so this point should be paid attention to as a last resort.
