What gives a person his name. The meaning of the name in human life. Influence on character
Being born, each person receives from his parents an invaluable gift - his life. And with her - a whole bunch of gifts: mother's eyes, father's nose, grandmother's patience and grandfather's determination. And your name.
The meaning of the name predetermines a lot. It is it that can influence how a little man will be from childhood - mischievous or a beech, a fidget or a quiet bum, whether he will grab everything on the fly or thoroughly study everything new and incomprehensible. The secret of the name contains the answers to these and a hundred other questions about the characteristics of a person.
In the distant past, the true names of people were kept secret, only the closest people knew the real name of this or that person.
And everyone else knew only a fictitious nickname. People believed that in this way they would receive protection from dark forces and they would be able to avoid, for example, sent damage.
At all times, people paid attention to the meaning of the name. Having this information in advance, it is possible, as it were, to endow a person with certain properties, and, perhaps, even predetermine his fate. After all, the secret of the name reveals the characteristics of character, the secrets of a successful choice of profession or a happy personal life.
To find out what is so specific and common can be seen in the owners of an identical name, the characteristics of the name help. In the modern world, anthroponymists conduct large-scale research to help draw up a psychological portrait of bearers of the same nicknames.
It is logical that the meaning of a name, its translation or interpretation is not the only condition that will influence the formation of a person's personality.
After all, not without reason not all Nikitas or Victorias are winners. Although, it would seem that the same names should make different people similar in the chosen qualities.
However, the secret of the name is why it is a secret. And, therefore, someone, possessing it, will take advantage of their advantages and realize their potential, but someone will not.
Origin of names
The names themselves, or rather, their origin, of course, affect what characterization of the name will correspond to. The history of each name is interesting and unique.
Some of them, encountered in everyday life, very organically fit into our history. But if you think about it, the majority are not native Russians.
And many names with a meaning incomprehensible or, conversely, close to us were once borrowed from the languages of different peoples - Greeks, Arabs, Scandinavians, Turks and dozens of others.
Even the most ardent skeptics and materialists do not choose a name for their unborn child just like that, at random. And if they are not interested in its meaning, then they think at least about its beautiful and melodic sound or combination with a patronymic.
Although now you rarely meet a person who would not wonder what the name of this or that close person or a new acquaintance means. Mature people especially often think about this, because from the height of their lived years and accumulated life experience they themselves can name some common character traits that they have met with those who bear the same nicknames.
The vast majority of people (especially the beautiful half of humanity) are still interested in what the name they have chosen for their future son or daughter means.
Because in addition to such criteria as: beauty, simplicity, or, conversely, intricacy and rarity, a literal translation or at least an approximate interpretation of the name is of no small importance.
And it is right. After all, if you want the future person to be decisive and purposeful or kind and sympathetic, or maybe a defender of people, a fighter for peace and justice, the necessary qualities can be “laid” into him along with the chosen name. So that the necessary "grains" were initially planted in fertile soil, and then backed up with appropriate education.
When studying the origin and meaning of a particular name, it would be useful to also take an interest in the fate and achievements of its famous owners, since now it is not difficult to find all the necessary information.
Firstly, it will allow you to expand your horizons, and secondly, it will provide an opportunity to draw certain conclusions for yourself regarding possible talents or areas of activity that bring the greatest satisfaction or even benefit to society.
Sometimes it happens that a person from childhood feels some kind of discomfort from what others call him. It seems to him, and often to other people, that another variant of the name is more suitable for him. This happens when the meaning of the name is incompatible with inner feelings or inherited character traits. Then he can come up with some nickname for himself, which will be voiced by everyone.
Not everyone knows about this, but you can officially change your own nickname by replacing your passport, while achieving inner harmony.
And remember, the name is not an empty phrase. It contains a piece of history, a piece of hope, an interesting and unique destiny.
Do not chase fashion and "fresh" trends in names - this is all transient. It is better to thoroughly and comprehensively study all the available information, evaluate the possible pros and cons, listen to your inner voice and intuition. Only then make your own, independent choice.
INTRODUCTION
1. Relevance of the topic
There is not a single person who does not have a name. There are a huge number of names in the world. But a person at birth receives only one.
With this name, he goes through life, sometimes without even thinking that his name can have a very interesting story related to its origin or interpretation.
What does my name mean? This question has probably been asked by everyone. After all, everyone wants to know the meaning of their own name, its origin and how popular it is among his peers.
I chose this topic because I wanted to know the history of the origin and meaning of the names of the students of our school, whether our character traits coincide with the meaning of our names, which means my name.
2. Purpose of the study
Learn about the history and origin of names
FROM THE HISTORY
The name of a person arose a very long time ago. Even ancient people came up with a way to single out an individual from the crowd, to address him by name. In ancient times, names were hidden from enemies.
The “name” in Greek is “onoma”, therefore, all over the world, the science of names is called onomastics. According to the dictionary of V.I. Dahl, we learned: "A name is a word that is called, it means an individual, a person." The name is the main means of communication, the personal name of a person. Since ancient times, people have perceived names as part of a person. Our ancestors believed: the name given to a person does not just belong to him at the whim of his parents, it fuses with the person.
Names in Ancient Rus' were given unusually.
By external signs: Svetlana, Chernava, Kudryash
By character trait: Dobrynya, Silent, Jumper
In order of birth in the family: First, Second, Fifth, Eighth
By natural phenomena: Snowstorm, Znoynik, Snegurochka
On Christian holidays: Fasting, Meat-Eater
By time and place of appearance: Saturday, Winter, Road
By profession of parents: Rybak, Mukovoz, Kozhemyaka
The most unusual names: Nekras, Nemil, Fool, Nenash
These names did not mean that the person had these qualities; they had to deceive the evil spirit so that the child would not get sick.
And why then such names did not become? They were supplanted by foreign names that came with the Christian religion. For example, Ivan is a modified ancient name Jokanaan, meaning "God's gift." The name Alexander comes from Greece: it means "protector of people." Valentina is Latin for "daughter of a healthy, mighty man." These names were distributed among all European peoples, each remade them in their own way.
A person is given a name once, at birth, and accompanies him throughout his life. Recorded in official documents, it becomes his personal name. We get used to considering our name as the closest word to us in our native language and a kind of synonym for our own personality.
Our ancestors treated names very carefully. They believed that the name has a certain mysterious power that can help or harm it, so the choice of a name was of great importance and was considered as a rite.
The names are not random. Parents give a name with the hope that the child will be beautiful and happy. Often the name is dedicated to one of the beloved relatives, from the heroes of their time. Parents want the best qualities of people of the previous generation to be transferred to the child with a name.
However, many do not know the meaning of names and do not even think about it. Each of us will say his name, but not everyone will be able to explain his meaning.
The role of the name in human life
Indeed, is there any meaning in the words that are our names? Personal names have not only meaning, but also their history. They, like other words, are born by human imagination, flourish, grow old and die, disappearing from the language of the people who were their creator.
Naming babies at all times was considered as one of the most important rituals, providing a person with prosperity, health, good luck in the future (or, on the contrary, leading to failures and illnesses). The name was treated as a charm, and the very procedure for choosing a name was like a fortune-telling, an attempt to gain a better share for the child. On this basis, different peoples have developed different traditions and different traditions and taboo systems associated with names. Giving a child a name in honor of this or that saint, people assume, firstly, that the character of their son or daughter will resemble the personal characteristics of this righteous man (i.e., a kind of role model); and secondly, that this saint will become a heavenly intercessor-prayer book before God specifically for this child. The name should be beautiful and sonorous, not very long and easy to pronounce, well combined with the surname and patronymic. Unusual stories always happen only to people whose names are difficult to pronounce.
How long ago did people begin to pay attention to the role of the name in the fate of the child? It seems that this began from the moment when a person began to realize himself as a rational being.
When we started writing the work, we read a lot about names. We learned that choosing a name for a newborn baby is not an easy task. The choice of a child's name is influenced by family traditions, and fashion trends, and national, religious roots, and even the political views of the parents. The fashion for names should be discussed separately. This fashion has always existed, there is nothing wrong with that. Usually it is associated with a change in values in generations, so almost every decade bears its own names. We were very surprised that children could be called names formed from other words. It was fashionable.
Here are the five most popular names of the 20s:
* Velior -- GREAT October Revolution
* Donera - Daughter of the New Era
* Ledat - Lev Davidovich Trotsky
* Leundezh - Lenin Died, But His Cause Lives
* Trolebuzina - TROTSKY, LENIN, BUCHARIN, ZINOVEV
The five most popular names of the 30s:
* Bestrev - Beria Guard of the Revolution
* Vors - VORoshilovsky Shooter
* Gertrude - HEROINE OF LABOR
* Dazdrasmygda - LOVE THE BOOK Cities and Villages
* Lagshmiwara - Schmidt Camp in the Arctic
It's good that the fashion for such names has passed. After all, there are beautiful, sonorous Russian names. In Russia, a law on names may soon appear. The rich imagination of the parents of newborn babies and attempts to give children names that are contrary to morality made the deputies think about writing a law prohibiting the use of numbers and symbols in names. Similar laws exist in different countries. Their goal is to prevent parents with an overactive fantasy from spoiling a person's life by giving him a reprehensible name.
In the era of Christianity, the so-called baptismal names appeared, which corresponded to the names of saints. Such names are no longer of Slavic, but of Greek origin. However, some Slavic names were recognized by the church, even though they had nothing to do with saints.
These are, for example, Yaroslav, Mstislav, Rostislav, Svyatoslav, Vyacheslav and the Scandinavian Oleg. The most common in the era of Christianity were the names Ivan and Fedor. The names Peter, Paul, John (Ivan), Alexei, Philip, Mark were also widely used. Many of the baptismal names were of Hebrew origin, such as Anna, Jacob, Daniel.
So, starting from the 10th century and up to the 17th century, there was a tradition to give the child two names: a baptismal church name and a secular name given by parents to designate intra-family nicknames. At the same time, the baptismal name was obligatory, but the secular one was not. By the end of the 17th century, nicknames in Rus' were already used quite rarely, and many ancient pagan Slavic and Scandinavian names also did not survive. At the same time, only the church could give a name to a person - this procedure was in effect until 1905, then these strict rules were somewhat weakened, and only from 1917 it became possible to give a child any name without regard to the church.

From birth, each of us is given a name. But, few people think about what influence it has on the fate of a person. We talked with experienced numerologists and psychologists to collect useful information for you on this issue.
The mystery of the nominal meaning of a person
Most esotericists and historians are convinced that each name has its own unique story, a secret. When a person assigns himself a certain sound sound, he automatically receives a certain one.
Interesting! Scientists have proven that people with the same name have a similar fate, events in their lives develop according to the same principles.
The set of sound sounds that people appropriate for themselves has no age. Even after the death of a person, he continues to "live" in the memory and consciousness of others. Therefore, the power of an individual sound set is limitless.
The name affects:
- Inclinations and interests of a person.
- His character.
- The specifics of building relationships with others.
- Successes and failures.
- His future.
historical image
Each sound set assigned to a person is rooted in antiquity. We are proud to bear the names of kings, great generals or pioneers. Each historical figure has made certain changes in the world, giving the energy of his name a new shade.
Historical reference! In the Great Royal Houses, surnames and censures were passed down from generation to generation so that the heirs would not be inferior to their ancestors in terms of power and influence.
Psychologists have proven that certain nominal values are directly related to the mental state of the people to whom they are assigned. Let's look at an example from history. The mother of Alexander Suvorov, who had not yet had time to name her baby in any way, was concerned about his painful condition. The child rarely made loud noises, so those around him believed that his age would be short-lived.
But, one day he screamed loudly: “AAA!”. This was taken by the mother as a sign that he should be called by a name beginning with the first letter of the alphabet. After she named her son Alexander, he went on the mend and eventually became one of the greatest Russian commanders.
According to esotericists, individual complaints help people improve their health or, conversely, worsen it. So, ancient healers assigned secret nicknames to sick people and pronounced them in prayers. As a result, they recovered faster. But people who are unsuccessfully named by their parents are more likely to get sick.
National characteristic
Every nation, every people has its own “soul”. You can inherit it not only by blood, but also by sound. The bearer of a particular name is automatically assigned to the culture of a particular nation. For example, Alexander is Russian, and Zdenek is Czech.
When parents are in doubt in what citizenship to assign to a child, psychologists recommend giving him an international name.
Each sound set carries certain information and energy. This can explain the mental and personal similarity of people from the same nation.
How to choose a name?
In my honor. There is some sense in this. By doing so, they energetically transfer their personal characteristics to their child. Therefore, if you want the baby to inherit your character, name him as yourself.
There are no tribal traditions, then you can choose a name for the child at random. However, before that, we recommend that you familiarize yourself with the individual meaning of each sound set. There is nothing wrong with its random assignment. In doing so, you give the child the opportunity to develop in any direction. In this case, you open a wide field for self-realization for him.
Do not forget that all people are unique and, despite having the same names, their lives proceed in different ways. What do you think of your name? Share with us in the comments.
Name secret.
From the name of a person depends on his behavior, and hence his whole life. Every day we hear our names and never think about what they mean to us. In this section you will find the meanings of the name and the characteristics of the person who wears it.
The ancient sages believed that there is a special, hidden connection between the name of a person, his character and fate. Moreover, the fate of a person is predetermined by his name. Some modern psychologists proceed, in particular, from the fact that the name affects not only the emerging character, but also behavior in society. It is well known how a stranger's name that impresses us often already attracts to him.
What is the secret of the name? And is there a secret? What is the meaning of your name? Do names influence the fate of a person? How to choose the right name for a child?
The character of a person depends not only on his name, but also on his patronymic. Therefore, often people with the same patronymic behave similarly in standard situations. The middle name carries genetic information, what is inherent in nature itself is a kind of gene code that is passed down from generation to generation. It symbolizes a person's belonging to a certain genus and gives him an additional name - after his father.
The answer to the question "What is your father's name?" completes the psychological characteristics of a person's name, colors it with new colors. The patronymic, as it were, corrects the existing image. It does not radically change it, but clarifies, softens or, on the contrary, sharpens some features, makes them clearer.
Numerous observations (Higir studied the patronymics of more than fifty thousand people) led to the conclusion that the owners of patronymics of “hard”, hard articulation have a harder time in life than their namesakes with patronymics that are softer, calmer; the character of the former is much more complex, more uncompromising.
There are many theories about the influence of a person's name on his character.
Some specialists - psychologists and esotericists go further: they argue that a lot of important things can be learned about each of us from the first letters of the first name, patronymic and last name.
According to the researchers, the letters stand for:
A - strength and power;
B - the ability to have a great feeling;
B - inconstancy, lack of consistency;
G - mystery;
D - sociability, the ability to attract people to oneself;
E - vitality, the ability to mobilize in a critical situation;
F - uncertainty;
3 - a tendency to doubt, dissatisfaction, material difficulties;
And - impressionability, tension;
K - big requests and nervousness in their achievement;
L - logic, inventiveness, melody;
M - diligence and pedantry;
H - energy and creative ambitions;
O - emotionality, mysterious unrest;
P - modesty, loneliness, distance in relations with people;
P - constant tension, emotionality;
C - frequent depression, nervousness, depression;
T - endless search, pursuit of the ideal;
U - intuition, a tendency to frequent frustration and fear;
Ф - tenderness, ability to adapt;
X - inconstancy of feelings, sexual problems;
C - a tendency to external expression of internal experiences;
H - fidelity;
Sh - jealousy, uncompromisingness;
Щ - developed intellectual abilities, vindictiveness;
E - search for psychological balance;
Yu - great ambitions, lack of consistency;
I am intelligence, creativity.
SOUNDS OF THE NAME
From early childhood throughout life, we do not hear a single word as often as our own name. It consists of a set of sounds of various pitches that excite certain parts of the brain, thus affecting its wearer, as well as the people around him.
Some names sound hard, tough: Igor, Dmitry, Anatoly, Zhanna, Dina, Ekaterina, Daria, etc. Under the influence of a sound stimulus, children with such names develop a persistent, stubborn character. They are independent and determined.
Owners of soft-sounding names: Svetlana, Irina, Vera, Natalia, Mikhail, Sergey, Alexei, Ilya, Vasily, etc. - usually have a calm, docile nature.
There are neutral, as if intermediate between hard and soft, names: Artem, Arkady, Andrey, Alexander, Valentin, Vitaly, Roman, Pavel, Olga, Anna, Anastasia, Zoya, Lyudmila, Lyubov, etc. As a rule, such people are balanced, reasonable, moderately persistent.
The name must be chosen so that it is easy to pronounce, well pronounced both by itself and together with the patronymic.
If the name ends with a consonant sound, and the patronymic begins with it, and even in the name-patronymic itself there are many consonants - Alexander Dmitrievich, Eduard Dmitrievich - the sound is difficult. Either the first name or the patronymic is often distorted, and the person anxiously waits for what they will call him this time.
You should not name children by the names of deceased relatives, especially those who died tragically. No need to give names in honor of grandparents. The child inherits a certain share of characteristic features, and, as you know, the bad is transmitted more easily. Do not call children difficult-to-pronounce names or in honor of any significant events and people (Revolution, Aurora, Stalin, etc.), so as not to complicate their life in the future.
Do not give children the names of the heroes of their favorite television series, famous writers or prominent scientists - especially if the patronymic and surname match. Imagine that in the family of engineer Nikolai Tolstoy, their son was named Leo in honor of the writer. At school, the boy was not given literature and the Russian language, and he became the object of ridicule from his peers. As a result, the child received a serious psychological trauma and stopped going to school. Parents hardly managed to correct the situation by transferring him to another class.
Sons should not be named after their father: Nikolai Nikolaevich, etc. - the owners of such names grow unbalanced, nervous, irritable, capricious. The girl should also not be called by the name of her mother - it will be difficult for them to find a common language.
The secret of the name is the knowledge that every parent needs to know in order to "correctly" name their child.
See what an interesting case turns out. Every object exists in a 22-dimensional space. So any object can be described using 22 letters of the primary alphabet. All other languages are descendants of the Etoko proto-alphabet. Those that are closest to it are the most ancient, and only subsequent languages are a copy from them. Those. accumulated layer by layer, for centuries, and it is not clear what was there at the very bottom. The Russian language, as we know it now, appeared relatively recently. Hence it gives one of the worst inclusions in the proto-alphabet. Consequently, the names given in Russian have little effect on the fate of a person. There is such a thing as a true name. This true name, of course, does not consist of 22 letters of the alphabet (the full name of the object consists of 22 letters), but nevertheless it is closest to it. It is just this name that has great power and influences the fate of a person. If you know the true name of a person, you will gain power over him. That is why NO ONE NEVER tells ANYONE their true name.
NAMES IN TIME AND SPACE
NUMBER OF LETTERS IN NAMES
SINGLE LETTER NAMES - Sun
We do not have names consisting of one letter. Somewhere, perhaps, such names exist - this is one Sun. Maybe when we use the pronoun "I", we replace our name with the Sun.
TWO LETTER NAMES - Moon
The Chinese have many two-letter names and we have a few: Yin, Yang. "Lunar" names are considered inferior, doomed. They impose rhythms of some kind of incompleteness, they always require refinement, additions with a more significant name. Otherwise, a person risks being left alone.
THREE LETTER NAMES - Mars
Names consisting of three letters are very active, because associated with the planet Mars. For men, this is harmonious, because. it is a male planet (Leo, Kim Nile, Titus, etc.). But for women, such names are critical, because this is a masculine planet, and women do not always withstand too active rhythms. It is very difficult for Ada, Aza, Asya, Eve, Zoya, Leah to prove anything, to convince someone of something. Even diminutive names consisting of three letters make high demands on a person (Ira, Yura, Olya).
FOUR-LETTER NAMES - Mercury
Four-letter names are also better "tolerated" by men. Such names as Ivan, Peter, Oleg, Anna, Vera set the "mercurial" rhythm of contacts and communication. A person depends on upbringing, environment and information, however, he attracts a large number of rumors and vain conversations. The "four-digit" name liberates a person, makes him contact and open to resonance. When a person calls himself a diminutive name of four letters (Masha, Zhenya, Lena), he creates a field of attraction, publicity, immediacy.
FIVE LETTER NAMES - Jupiter
"Five-digit" names are very common. Names consisting of five letters (Anton, Artem, Boris, Vadim, Elena, Igor), associated with the planet Jupiter, the planet of "great happiness", are considered optimal for people who fit well into society. Such people must comply with the law of society, observe it, these are "social" names - a person with such a name can be a leader, an example to follow, a "legislator". This is good for the fulfillment of social duty, but the bearer of the name will attract the close attention of the law, i.e. it must comply with the rules established in society. Any deviation from the law will be strictly suppressed. All this is more suitable, of course, for a man.
SIX LETTER NAMES - Venus
For women, the name should be six-letter - according to the planet of "small happiness" Venus: Galina, Marina, Ksenia, Tamara. Such names suggest harmony, a closed self-sufficient system. Women with such names are more independent, but with partners they perform their tasks better. Six-letter names soften men, make them pampered and in need of cooperation (Mikhail, Danila, Nikita, Andrey). They painfully perceive loneliness, it is harmful for them to change partners, without a couple they hardly fulfill their program. Such men are very good at choosing a mate for themselves and manifest themselves in love as egoists who are loved more than they are able to answer. The combination of a five- and six-letter name is good in a pair. This is good for society as well. When two five-letter names meet, they conflict regardless of gender.
SEVEN-LETTER NAMES - Saturn
Seven-letter names are also more favorable for women, to whom they are less harsh and strict (Zinaida, Varvara, Lyudmila, Tatyana). These names give rise to very strong rhythms: steadfastness, endurance, inflexibility. They impede early development, create difficulties in contacts, because they are associated with the planet of "great misfortune" Saturn. But they strengthen rigidity, fanaticism. They give their carriers gloominess, secrecy, ordeals. On male names (Vitaly, Evgeny, Nikolai) there is a seal of fate, fate, inevitability.
EIGHT-LETTER NAMES - Uranus
People with "eight-digit" names - reformers, revolutionaries, freedom lovers: Athanasius, Vsevolod, Vladimir, Gennady, Grigory. There are always rumors around such people. Women with such names are also tough, unpredictable: Antonina, Valentina, Veronica, Christina, Svetlana.
NINE LETTER NAMES - Neptune
Nine-letter names (Catherine, Margarita, Olympias, Alexander, Svyatoslav, Vissarion). - mysterious, all hiding people with a lot of secrets. You need to look very carefully at what they carry. If they are excessively active, you should check what is behind this. The Niners always have overvalued ideas.
TEN LETTER NAMES - Pluto
With a "ten-digit" name, a person goes to pieces (Innokenty, Alexandra, Kapitolina). If a person does not take risks, if there are no mass energies in his life, he will “run out of steam”. These are the people of the whirlpool, the elements - they cannot live without it.
ELEVEN LETTER NAMES - Proserpina
There are few names consisting of eleven letters (Apollinaria, Maximilian, Panteleimon). They are heavy because they are associated with the transmutation planet Proserpina. A person needs to adapt to any changing conditions, endure, overcome obstacles. He experiences eternal discontent, pain. It is very difficult for men, women are no strangers.
TWELVE LETTER NAMES
The phenomenal twelve-letter name - derived from the name Alexander, the female name Alexandrina - sends its bearers to the "Martian" rhythms. The influence of the Sun (number 1) and the Moon (number 2) is also taken into account: they pose non-female problems for such a woman and mobilize them to solve them.
NUMBER OF LETTERS in the name shows the name in time: the possibilities of its development and prospects.
NUMBER OF syllables indicates the implementation of individual stages of his program in space, and is also interpreted through the functions of the planets.
NUMBER OF syllables in names
ONE-SYMBOL NAMES - Sun
One syllable (Peter, Mark, Jan) - the program is monolithic. A person achieves what he wanted, and his goal does not change. A single program has its own charm, but there are also disadvantages - it cannot be complicated and improved. Monosyllabic names lead a person to a single goal, and this is their primitivism. Monosyllabic names quickly become obsolete and may become superfluous, therefore they are more suitable for some stage of life, and then they should be changed.
DOUBLE-SYMBOLIC NAMES - Moon
Two syllables - two stages of life. More suitable for women (Anna, Vera, Zoya, Inna, Rosa) - life in the parents' house, life in the husband's house. Such people gain self-confidence under someone's guidance (parents, husband). Adjustments to life are made not independently, but under the influence of a spouse. A man with a two-syllable name (Anton, Andrei, Boris, Igor, Oleg) is forced to obey the environment, which is completely unnatural for him - he must solve his problems on his own.
THREE-SYMBOL NAMES - Mars
Three syllables - three stages in life. More suitable for men (Aleksey, Alexander,), because. Martian energies allow them to implement changes in the life program on their own initiative. Three-digit names give men usefulness, self-sufficiency. They emphasize their masculine properties, allow them to save their life program and implement it several times, to make changes on their own initiative. Men with the names Alexander, Mikhail, Vladimir, Valery, Vasily, Eugene are able to adapt to any situation, get out of the water dry. For women, such a name (Eugenia, Irina, Larisa, Lyudmila, Tatyana) attracts critical events in which they have to not just make a choice, but in parts. They invade the lives of other people, try to retrain everyone, but they themselves are not subject to any influence. As a rule, if a man got a two-syllable name, then he is looking for a wife with a three-syllable one - as compensation for his own forced lack of independence.
FOUR-SYMBOL NAMES - Mercury
The four-syllable name is resonant, i.e. gives dependence on the environment and society in which its carrier lives. Anatolia, Illarion, Margarita are formed under the influence of the rules of etiquette, learned habits, upbringing, education. Friends and acquaintances play a big role: they influence changes in the fate of people with three-digit names, who can count on at least four stages in life. In this case, female and male names are in the same position.
FIVE-SYMBOL NAMES - Jupiter
Five syllables are rare names. For Catherine, Elizabeth, Eleanor, the Olympics, the temptation is very great to prove themselves as a mentor, a founder, which gives rise to a lot of problems. With such names it is good to speak on behalf of the law, in official institutions, in monasteries, but in everyday life it is bad. They give rise to a lot of problems not even for the name-bearers, but for their environment. The male name (Maximilian, Apollinaris) makes it possible to speak on behalf of the law. It fits into a five-pointed star - a pentagram, and is complete for the male program.
SIX-SILLUMABLE NAMES - Venus
Six syllables - one name of Apollinaria, very rare. Very good for women. A true female name must consist of six syllables.
SEVENSYLLLABLE NAMES
Seven syllables - such names are not in use. These names are magical. They can only be reconstructed through a horoscope. The above principle of studying syllables applies to both patronymics and surnames. The patronymic refers to the generic program, and the surname includes the karmic social program. The number of syllables in the surname will show how many degrees of possible changes in society for a person it carries. The surname, as a kind of grandiose super-task, can change throughout life, but still any person bears its stamp.
CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ROD NAMED
In each word, and in the NAME, respectively, there is a certain number of letters. Each letter from the first to the last letter in a word has its own meaning, but if the word consists of an odd number of letters, then this word also has a central letter. What can we recognize in the name by this central letter? Read about it below.
KERNEL
The name has a pivot letter - the central letter of the name - ROD.
Sometimes this letter is called the KEY STONE.
But this only applies to names with an odd number of letters. For example: IR-I-NA. - the keystone is the letter I.
In names with an even number of letters, there is no stem. For example: OLEG. Carriers of such names are called people without a core. Such people are thrown from side to side, they are forced to obey circumstances. This is especially bad for men, but such men understand the female soul well. But people with a core for everything have their own opinion, and it can come to imposing it on others, women especially suffer from this.
The stem letter can be a vowel, a consonant, or the letter b (TATYANA) can stand there. Just the vowel will give an active imposition of one's opinion on others, the consonant is easier, but b is very bad, because. the core of a person is absolutely unknown, disguised for the time being.
If in the name in the middle the consonant is doubled - this is a double rod (INNA, ANNA, ALLA). Especially in the names-shifters (Alla, Anna) - "the rod in the square."
LADDER
The core letter of the name serves as the top of the mirror staircase, the steps of which will be all the other letters of the name, descending from the core letter on both sides: ALEK - S - ANDR.
If the name has an even number of letters, then there will be two letters at the top of the stairs: ALEK - SA - NDRA.
In this case, in the male name, the first letter at the top is considered the main one, and in the female names - the second.
The monolithic top is a rigid and strong core.
Two letters at the top speak of a lack of integrity, internal doubts, and variability.
One rung below the top are letters that indicate the ideal partner name for a person: it must include both of these letters. For Alexander, these are the letters K and A - Ekaterina, Oksana. For Alexandra - K and N: Konstantin, Nikolai. Of course, this level of partnership is not the only determining one, but the discrepancy can impose certain restrictions on solving the root problems of the spouses.

NUMBER OF LETTERS IN A STRESSED SYLLABLE
The number of letters in a stressed syllable and its structure are of great importance, i.e. the location of the stressed letter among consonants and among the letters of neighboring syllables, as well as the location of the stressed syllable in the name.
A stressed syllable can have one, two, three, four or five letters.
ONE LETTER - maximalism, huge ambitions, grandiose desires, often exceeding the possibilities (Raisa, Yuri).
TWO LETTERS - the goal can be realized only in cooperation with someone, otherwise the person will feel inferior, half-hearted. Two options are possible: the first vowel, the second consonant (Alla, Anna, Mikhail) - a person comes to the goal in adventurous ways, all plans can fail, but he easily gives up what has been achieved, plans the future before reaching the goal; the second option - the first consonant, the second vowel (Marina, Galina, Polina, Vasily, Vitaly) - the person’s goal is well protected, he acts according to the program, the main thing for him is to reach, fulfill, and what will happen next, he does not calculate.
THREE LETTERS - a person can fully realize himself and achieve the goal, but there is no flexibility, and he can become self-sufficient. When the vowel is in the middle - a person does not give up what he has achieved - only with life (Sergei, Konstantin); when the vowel is the last - a person will achieve his goal at any cost (Xenia), when the vowel is the first - then the person uses what life provides him (Eduard).
FOUR LETTERS - a person depends on resonance with others, on the environment, personal initiative is muted. This is a conductor of other people's ideas. The environment is extremely important, the person himself will not achieve the goal. His goals are unstable, vague, unclear (Alexandra).
FIVE LETTERS - the most ambitious goals, such names are suitable for passionaries, idealists, fanatics (Alexander, Adolf).
LETTERS IN STRICTION
The stressed letter in the name is, as it were, the Sun, illuminating the whole name of a person. The letters before and after it are very important.
The letter before the shock helps the development of the goal, the letter after the shock is support and support.
If the stressed letter in the name is the first (Yakov), then the bearer of the name is open and vulnerable, prone to breakdowns, his goal is clear to everyone.
When the stressed letter is the last in the name (Ilya), a person needs to adapt in order to survive.
If the stressed letter is surrounded on both sides, then the person's goal is well protected, especially if all these letters are included in one syllable (Sergey), but such a person can become unprincipled.
If the letter before the stress is from another syllable, then the person first calculates everything, and then acts, if the letter after the stress is from another syllable, then the person is an adventurer.
If both letters are from other syllables, i.e. shock is lonely, then a person may not achieve his goal and break loose (Raisa, Faina) - such people need to be secretive and not trust anyone in relation to their goals.
It is bad when the stressed letter is the penultimate letter in the name - a person is knocked out of support from under his feet.
The stressed syllable in the name can be the first, last or in the middle.
The first is openness and great strength, such people accelerate events, strive to quickly achieve the goal - this is good for men, but bad for women, because. after the first blow, the woman may not recover. True, much depends on the horoscope.
If the stressed syllable is the last one in the name, then the realization of the goal comes late, which is good for inertial people, people who swing for a long time and slowly and stubbornly go towards the intended goal. This is good for women, but not very good for men. they tend to quickly set a goal and quickly implement their ideas.
When the stressed syllable is in the middle of a word, the target may not be known to the person himself. If a man with this name can have a stable life program, then a woman can hardly form her goal and can become ambitious, but both of them carefully hide their goals from others.
If there is a contradiction in a person's name (for example, and the stressed syllable is at the end), then the person does not like his name, because. it is for him, as it were, a brake on achieving the goal, pushing the realization to a later time. The name can bring down the rhythm of life for a person, and it needs to be changed.

The history of the origin of names
1) pre-christian, when original names were used, created on East Slavic soil by means of the Old Russian language;
2) period after the introduction of Christianity in Rus' when the church, along with religious Christian rites, began to plant foreign names;
3) and new stage, started after the revolution 1917, when a large number of new names began to penetrate into the Russian name book, associated with the restructuring of the old society.
first period, before the introduction of Christianity in Rus', personal names were very similar to nicknames that were given to a person on one or another basis that distinguishes him from other people. All people are individual, therefore there were a lot of nicknames that characterize a person. So, thanks to folk fantasy, on the one hand, the richness of the language was revealed in ancient Russian names, on the other hand, the amazing observation of a Russian person, his kindness, generosity, sociability, and sometimes, when it came to moral vices or physical shortcomings, and simple-minded, coming from the heart , roughness.
Thanks to this ability of people in the selection of the appropriate name, the ancient Russian names were quite diverse. For example, our ancestors have long used the so-called " numerical» names that represent the entire number series from one to ten: Perva And First, Second, Second, Tretyak(by the way, this name was one of the most common in Rus'), Quarter, Quarter, Fifth And Pyatak, Six And Shestak, Semoy And Semak, Osmoy And Osmak, Ninth And Nine, tenth.
It is quite obvious that « direct descendants of these names” currently continue to live in such modern surnames as: Pervov and First, Tretyak And Tretyakov, Chetvertak And Chetvertakov, Shestak, Shestakov and others.
One of the names listed above is not registered in our time, but the old borrowed numerical names are often found now: Note(first), Octavius(eighth) and Octavia(eighth).
Such external signs as, for example, the height of a person, the features of his physique could also be used by our ancestors. This is how the names came about: Dry, Tolstoy, Long, Malyuta, Small, Malusha, Hare, Head, Golovach, Loban. To explain this spelling, it is necessary to note the fact that in ancient times in adjectives that now end in - th And - ii, often written - Ouch: white, small, long.
In addition to the names given in appearance, there were those that were assigned depending on the nature and behavior of the child: besson, Bulgak(restless), Fun, Nesmeyana, Smirnoy. In some names, the desirability or undesirability of the appearance of a child in the family and many other circumstances were noted: Bogdan and Bogdan, Bazhen(wanted, dear) Golub, Love, Lyubava, Zhdan And Nejdan, Chayan And Nechay, Milava, Late and others. There are names that were given according to the time of the birth of the child: born in the spring - they called Veshnyak, in winter - Winter, Frost.
Very popular in ancient times were the names given by the color of hair and skin: Chernysh, Chernyay, Chernava, Chernavka, Bel, Belyay, Belyak, Beloy, Belukha and many others. The dictionary of Old Russian personal proper names, compiled by the famous Russian linguist N.M. Tupikov, contains 30 names with the root -bel-, and also 41 surnames are given, including the stem -bel-.
There were also names of a different order, dating back to ancient beliefs: Goryain, Nemil, Nekras, Nelyuba, Neustroy, Malice, Tugarin (from " tight"- sadness). It was believed that these bad"The names were able to ward off evil spirits, illness, death.
Often, by name, one could also find out about neighbors, next to whom Russian people lived since ancient times, for example: Kozarin(Khazarin), Chudin(representative of the Finno-Ugric Chud tribe), Karel, Tatar. Many names given in childhood remained with people for life.
And now let's pay attention to the names of old professions: silversmith, cannon-maker, coppersmith, they also served to form personal or family nicknames, as evidenced by the following names - Pushechnikovs, Mednikovs, Serebryanikovs. In the book of V.V. Danilevsky " Russian technology"There is valuable information for us about ancient Russian masters bearing the following nicknames:" …Bogdan Kovyrin, Zhdan Abramov- builders, Tretiak Astafiev And Nekras Mikhailov- silversmiths, Belyak Rusaev And Nine Agafonov- coppersmiths, Fifth Bogdanov And Bulgak Novgorodov- gunners, Vikhorko Ivanov- ironsmith...»
It is interesting to note the fact that among the Old Russian names there are those that have survived to this day: Vadim, Vsevolod others, forgotten for a long time, are now being revived. In modern directories, even today you can find beautiful names left to us by our ancestors as a legacy: Dobrynya, Zhdan, Lyubava, Yaroslav.
Second period in the history of the formation of Russian names came after the introduction of Christianity. At this time, the so-called calendar names come into practice. They also became an integral part of the Russian language, part of the history of the Russian people. Calendar we call them conditionally, since they were given to newborns according to church calendars, taking into account the memorable dates of the saints, and were distributed over all days of the year.
The history of Russian calendar names is no less interesting than the history of Old Russian ones. It reflects the close connection between the Russian folk language and Church Slavonic, the official language of the Russian Orthodox Church. This process was complex and laborious and manifested itself in numerous spelling changes in personal names, in the struggle of ancient Russian " pagan" names claiming to exist in the adaptation " Christian»names to the conditions of the Russian language environment.
Of course, all the names - both pagan and Christian - were the work of representatives of many nationalities, who took names from their everyday language. Of course, the Christian religion created certain directions for name creativity and the perception of names, but their source was still not religion, but the same beautiful folk language. Therefore, in the Christian calendar, with a more detailed study of them, oddly enough, one can find many names formed from the designations of the ancient pagan gods, “ overthrown» Early Christians: Apollo, Hermogenes, Hermias(from Hermes) and many others.
According to church traditions, Christian names were the names of ascetics and martyrs who died for the establishment of a new religion. But these same names belonged in antiquity not only to those persons whom the church honored, but also to thousands of other people - representatives of those peoples from whose language these names were borrowed. The same should be said about pagan» names: Old Russian names Vyacheslav, Vsemil, Domaneg people were called who worshiped pagan gods, but the names themselves had nothing to do with paganism.
The official adoption of Christianity in Rus', as is known, took place in 988, when Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich baptized the inhabitants of Kyiv. It was during his reign that Christianity became the state religion. At that time, important state events were taking place in Rus': the princes needed to strengthen their power, to achieve the internal unity of the ancient Russian state. To a large extent, this was facilitated by the adoption of Christianity.
The Christianization of the population of Rus' was accompanied by the obligatory rite of baptism, which led to the naming of people with new Christian names. The names of these names were transferred by the Byzantine Christian Church along with the religious rites that replaced the pagan ones. They got into the Old Russian language in genuine foreign-language sounds and were completely incomprehensible and alien to the Russian people of that time.
It is today that we understand that many of the names of the ancient Russians exactly correspond to those names that came from Byzantium. Yes, Greek Agathon, translated into Russian meaning " Kind”, matches the name Dobrynya, Latin Paul(in translation small) - Russian Small, Kid, Mal, Greek Agapius and Hebrew David– Russian love, Greek Peter and Syrian Kifa– Russian Stone(the surname is derived from him Kamenev).
It should be noted that the adoption of new names by the Russian population was very slow: most of them continued to name their children in their own way, according to custom, that is, in Russian until the 17th century. Baptized, or cross, name - " nickname, name, nickname”, as it was often called then, was given by priests according to the calendar in accordance with what name fell on the birthday or baptism of the child according to the calendar. Parents in such a situation most often were not given the opportunity to choose.
The famous Soviet poet M. Vladimov in his poem " Saints describes the situation at the time as follows:
There was a custom in the old days:
They took the baby to church. There,
Pointing your finger at the pages of the saints,
Pop gave names by day.
If you were born on the day of Yefim,
It is named after that.
But if on the day of Jerome,
That - like it or not - Jerome!
Beautiful old Russian names Vladislav, Vladimir, Svyatogor the church did not recognize them, considering them pagan, which is why the Grand Duke of Kyiv Vladimir Svyatoslavovich was given the name Basil, and the Kievan princess Olga, one of the first to accept Christianity, was in the same way " renamed”, and in 957 at baptism she was given the name Elena.
Boris and Gleb, the younger sons of Vladimir Svyatoslavovich, were named at baptism Roman and David However, history and the people, who treated them with special respect, reverence and love, fortunately preserved for us only their pre-Christian names. The rewriting of liturgical books in Rus' and their translation into Church Slavonic, starting from the 11th century, was carried out by well-educated people.
It was thanks to their efforts and diligence that it was possible to preserve the best and most acceptable variants of names in the spelling that corresponded to their lively, modern for that time sound, namely: Katerina, Nestor, Ishmael, Demyan, Kupriyan, and not use in those forms that were placed in church books: Catherine, Nestor, Ismail, Damian, Cyprian.
Over the next three centuries, there was an assimilation of foreign names, and by the 14th century, many foreign names had become familiar, their own for Russian people. This time has become a kind of milestone in the history of Russian onomastics. The Russian princes could no longer be called by two names, since this was not provided for by church norms, but among the lower ranks, the ancient two-basic names were preserved for another two centuries.
The birch bark letters that preserved Russian names, along with calendar names, brought to us both pre-Christian, pagan, and names that can be considered both Christian and pagan at the same time. So, it could be an old Russian name Mironeg and conform to Christian Myron, and the name Dansha could be an abbreviation for Christian Daniel, and from Old Russian Danslav.
- ancient Greek: (Kira - " mistress, mistress",Irina - " peace, tranquility", Ksenia - " hospitality", Peter -" stone", Nikolai - " conqueror of nations»)
- latin: (Natalia - " native, natural”, Diana -“ divine", Stella -" star", Valery -" strong, healthy", Vitaly -" vital", Konstantin - " solid, permanent»)
- Hebrew: (Mary - " beloved, desired”, Anna means “ mercy", Ilya -" strength of the Lord", Michael -" who is like a god»).
Third stage The development of Russian names, which continues to this day, began with the publication of a decree on the separation of the church from the state and the school from the church. A decree adopted by the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR on January 23, 1918, laid the foundation for the free choice of personal names by parents and declared legal civil registration instead of church baptism. From that moment on, new Russian names entered the Russian name row, which arose during the years of the revolutionary breaking of the old way of life, the breaking of many traditional ideas that had been established for centuries.
In the first years after the October Revolution, those born were still given the old names. Even in the most advanced families, grandmothers secretly baptized their grandchildren in church from their parents. But at the same time, the results of active anti-religious propaganda also had an effect - many no longer wanted to give their children names in memory of certain saints and invented new ones or borrowed foreign ones, not suspecting that many of them were the same, widespread names, just in another language.
This process actively took place in cities where revolutionary events significantly influenced the ideology and consciousness of people. Special studies of linguists and works of fiction that reflected this time period on their pages help modern people understand what names appeared at that time.
Let us recall the second part of M. Vladimov's poem already sounded earlier “ Saints»:
The era of the new lexicon
Bursting into the speech of workshops and villages.
Amphilochia went to the revolutionary committees,
Adelaide - to the Komsomol.
They are in tune with the era
Named October:
Dawn, Idea, Pioneer,
Revmir, Revput and Diamat.
And here is one of the many, most interesting, in my opinion, examples of the then life. In the 1930s, the Northern Sea Route began to be developed, for this purpose it was necessary to begin settling sparsely populated areas on the coast of the Arctic Ocean. There were many enthusiasts who decided to go to live in these distant lands. One of the brave mothers who made such a bold decision, here, in a place forgotten by God, in a bay called Tiksi, on the Laptev Sea, had a daughter.
They called her Tiksi. The girl grew up, went to work. “What will we call you?” asked her future colleagues. - After all Tiksi strange and ugly name
The peers of the October Revolution had very unusual names from a modern point of view - Idea, Spark, Communard, Marat, Oktyabrina. All these names reflected the new views and sympathy of Russian people for new trends in society. In the mid-1920s, the name of creativity reached its highest point. New names were printed in various calendars, including tear-off ones, published in millions of copies. Along with well-known names, one could find such names as: Homer, Horace, Cromwell, Ampere, Volt, Bosphorus, Volga, Colchis, Commissar, Radish, Proletcult. The lists of names included in the calendars of those years were only a part of the names created in those years.
Soon, this newfangled hobby, as expected, began to decline, and already in the pre-war years and especially after the Great Patriotic War, mostly old, familiar Russian names began to be used to name newborns. It turned out that the majority of the Russian population of middle and old age are carriers of old Russian names, including such rare ones as Athanasius, Gerasim, Kapiton, Agrafena, Matryona, Praskovya. Many of these names turned out to be by no means isolated among the representatives of the younger generation.
Two decades later, in the records of newborns in the early 70s, the largest place among the new names was occupied by the names of the peoples of the then USSR - Tatar, Uzbek, Latvian, Estonian and many others. In their historical homeland, by origin, they were certainly not new, but for the Russian population they turned out to be. But even against the background of this new hobby, the names of the Slavic peoples were most often encountered, of course, first of all - such as: Stanislav, Janina, less often Albert, Arthur, Angelica, Marat, Renat, Ruslan, Violetta, Diana, Nelly.
The life of any person is closely connected with the homeland, with the places where he was born and raised. A person's memory stores both difficult and joyful events, sometimes associated with certain places. Many admire the new cities they see. And if a son or daughter was born in such a remarkable place for a person, the parents, in memory of everything they saw, felt, give them the appropriate names.
Natural attachment to native or memorable places gives rise to traditions: in Siberia they like to name children after the names of the mighty rivers of this region - Angara, Lena, Amur, Vitim, Aldan. The fundamental possibility of forming a personal name from a geographical name was once described in the Pravda newspaper in 1972.
Lyrical essay titled " Dozen of my children was dedicated to the brotherhood of the Soviet peoples. Here is a summary of its content: I am Uzbek. My son died in Ukraine. The wife died of grief. You can’t weave wattle on one stake, you can’t make a fire out of one log. I came to the orphanage and said: “A wagon without a child is like a bow without an arrow. Give me an orphan, I will replace his father". They answered me: Here are twelve kids. Choose any».
I chose everyone." The name of this remarkable person was Rakhmatulla Saidshakovich Shirmukhamedov.
This name proved difficult for children gathered from all over the country, and they began to call him papa. Tashkent. Rahmatullah gave them names also according to the place of birth of each: Orel, Minsk, Riga, Lvov, Kyiv, Leningrad. The essay ends like this: I do not know if I will live a thousand years, but I firmly believe that our friendship will live longer. Because wealth is not wealth, brotherhood is wealth!»
Among the modern names formed from the names of places, there are such: Aldan, Amur, Angara, Lena, Volga, Kama, Samara. It is known that in St. Petersburg one girl was given the name Neva.
