Lesson progress

1. Organizational moment.

2. Actualization of knowledge.

Guys, today we will talk on a very interesting topic, but on which we will now find out ...

Imagine, please, such a situation. You found yourself in an unfamiliar company or remember the situation when you came to our school for the first time in the first grade.

What did the teacher do in the first place so that you would not feel lonely, so that you would be comfortable in the new team? She introduced you to each other so that you quickly settled in and found friends.

Guess the riddle - what belongs to you, but others use it more often than you? The answer is a name.

Each baby at birth from his parents first of all receives a NAME.

We all live in the world of names. No wonder Homer wrote in his Odyssey:

Among living people, no one is nameless at all;
At the moment of birth, everyone, both low and noble,
He receives his name about his parents as a sweet gift ...

3. Creation of a problem situation.

1. So, what are we going to talk about today in the lesson? Yes, as you may have guessed, we will talk about the name of a person, and also about the surname and patronymic. That is, we will get to know you better, having learned the secrets of your names.

4. Work on the topic.

The people say:

It is not the name that makes the man, but the man the name (Russian proverb)

It is better to lose an eye than a good name (Russian proverb)

And in Japan, the sages say: the tiger takes care of his skin, and the man takes care of his name.

Guys, today guests came to us, and they don't know us. Let's introduce them...

So, you give your name, and tell who and why called you that. (Children call the name and briefly talk about themselves. Read the meaning of the name from the cards.)

You all have very beautiful names. Our names can be called differently; we use in our speechfull Andabbreviated names. What names do you thinkcomplete orabbreviated calledadults of people? Achildren ? And why do we act like this depending on age?

TOadults because they want to emphasize their respect, to make their appeal to a person more polite. TOchildren because they are called pet names and caress.

Here is the full name - Tatyana. What do you think the parents could call when the girl was little?

Children answer - Tatyanka, Tanechka, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya, Tanya ...

And now you form full names from abbreviated names:

Sasha - Alexander

Alyosha - Alexey

Kolya - Nikolay

Ksyusha - Xenia

Olya - Olga

Vika - Victoria

Igor - These names were left without a pair. And why?

Nina - Because they are used only in one form.

Now let's talk about male and female names. List the names of the girls in one column and the names of the boys in the other.

SVETA, KOLYA, ZHENIA, PETIA, LUDA

What is interesting about the name Zhenya? It can be attributed to both male and female names. Since the abbreviated name ZHENIA does not tell us who we are talking about.

What would a full male name sound like? -Eugene.

And the female - Eugene.

What other “double” names can you give as an example?

VALYA - VALENTIN, VALENTINA

SASHA - ALEXANDER, ALEXANDER

What do you think, is there a female couple at male name Fedor?

In Korney Chukovsky's fairy tale “Fedorino's grief”, the heroine's name is Fyodor.

Now this name is rare.

And now a tongue twister competition is being announced, in which there are male and female names.

Who do you think they callnamesakes? People who have the same first name. Read about namesakes in an excerpt from Zinaida Alexandrova's poem "Eight Tans".

There are eight Tans in the first grade -
This is straight up punishment!
After all, they have, wherever you look,
Everywhere Tanya, Tanya, Tanya!
If they say: “Tanya, get up!”
Eight Tans will immediately stand up.
But you can very simply
Understand newbies...

How can you tell these girls apart? Surnames.

Are there namesakes in our class?

Each person at birth receives not only a name, but also a surname, which is carried by all members of his family. However, the same surnames are not only among relatives. What are these people called? (Children answer -namesakes ).

What writers of the same name do you know? (Children answer - Leo Tolstoy and Alexei Tolstoy)

Fizkulminutka

I have musical riddles for you. We will dance to the music and guess which name the song is about.

Now look at the blackboard and notice why I wrote these two different words differently. (On the board: Lion and lion). Have you ever heard such a name? Since ancient times, in the understanding of people, the name was not in simple words but a way to determine the character of a person, his fate. And if parents call their son Leo, then they really want him to have the quality of the king of beasts, to be brave and strong. WITH early childhood people were called: firstly, according to their appearance (Mal, Bel, Chernysh), secondly, according to their character traits (Good, Brave, Nesmeyana), thirdly, according to their place in the family (Zhdan, Tretyak, Another), in- fourth, by the name of animals, plants, natural phenomena (ram, oak, wolf).

Think about which of the names of flowers can be names?

CHAMOMILE, LILY OF THE VALLEY, CLOVE, ROSE, LILY

Think about why some parents used flower names as female names? Probably because they wanted to see their girls beautiful and tender.

Sort into the appropriate columns the names that were formed from: professions, character traits, names of animals and plants (work in pairs)

Children are given cards with names.

Before you are the names of ordinary Russian people who lived in the XIV, XV, XVI centuries. Think about why they are called that? (group work)

Imagine the following situation: 2 people are namesakes and, moreover, namesakes. How then can they be distinguished?

That's right, last name. This word means "father's name". When you grow up, you will be addressed by your first and middle names. Say out loud, what will you be called? (Children take turns saying their first and last names aloud).

What are the names and patronymics of your parents, grandparents. (Children also take turns calling the names and patronymics of their grandparents).

Have you read epics about the hero Ilya Muromets?

What do you think, Muromets is a surname or patronymic? Let's remember the words of the epic:

Dust rises in the open field,
Ilya Muromets, son Ivanovich,
Approaching Solovyov's nest...

How to call the hero by name and patronymic? Ilya Ivanovich. And the surname Muromets came from the name of the city where he was from. Ilya Muromets from the city of Murom.

There are names of surnames that originated from the names of villages and villages. What surnames will be obtained from the names of villages and villages?

With. Krylov - Krylovy

With. Bogomyagkovo - Bogomyakovs

With. Kozlovo - Kozlovy

With. Mazunino - Mazunins

With. Petukhovo - Petukhovy

With. Drachevo - Drachevy

5. Reflection.

What new did you learn in the lesson? What did you like and remember?

You have one name.

It is forever given.

Life is long and that's why

You save him...

The history of the appearance of Russian names

The history of the appearance of Russian names

The science of proper names is called onomastics. This term is associated with Greek word onoma - name.

The names of people are part of the history of peoples. They reflect the life, beliefs, fantasy and artistic creativity of peoples, their historical contacts. Any word that a person was called by was perceived by those around him as his personal name, and, therefore, any word could become a name. Thus, a personal name (in the Old Russian language - reklo, name, nickname, name, nickname, naming) is a special word that serves to designate an individual and is given to him individually in order to be able to contact him, as well as talk about it with others.

There are three stages in the history of Russian personal names.

1. Pre-Christian, in which original names were confessed, created on East Slavic soil by means of the Old Russian language.

2. The period after the baptism of Rus', where the church began to plant, along with Christian religious rites, foreign names borrowed by the Byzantine church from different peoples antiquities.

3. A new stage that began after the Great October Socialist Revolution and was marked by penetration into the Russian nomenclature a large number borrowed names and active name-creation.

Before the introduction of Christianity in Rus', personal names were nothing more than nicknames given for one reason or another. In ancient times, people perceived names materially, as an integral part of a person. They hid their names from their enemies, believing that knowing the name alone was enough to harm someone.

Old Russian nicknames are of great interest. They reveal the wealth of the Russian vernacular. Old Russian names, nicknames, were varied. For example: Pervak, First, Second, Vtorak, Tretyak (this name was one of the most common), Third, etc. We meet direct descendants of these names - surnames: Pervov, Tretyak or Tretyakov, etc. Or such names - Chernysh, Belyak, Belaya, etc. - data on the color of hair, skin. Names were also assigned according to other external signs - height, physique, character, and time of birth. Many nicknames were given on separate occasions and occasions. Among the ancient Russian names were those that have survived to this day - Vadim, Vsevolod, Gorazd, Dobrynya, Zhdan, Lyubava.

After the introduction of Christianity in Rus', the so-called calendar names entered into the practice of naming. They have become an integral part of the Russian language, part of the history of the Russian people. We call them calendar now conditionally, since during the entire time of their existence they were given to people according to church calendars. The official planting of Christianity in Rus' began in the 10th century. During the reign of Vladimir Svyatoslavich, Christianity became the state religion. Prince Vladimir of Kiev, who was looking for a strong ally, made an alliance with Byzantium. One of the conditions of this union was the acceptance of Russia Christian religion. In 988, Vladimir himself was baptized and began to introduce a new religion in Rus'. The Christianization of the population of Rus' and the obligatory rite of baptism was accompanied by the naming of people new Christian names. The adoption of new names by the Russian population was slow.

There was a custom in the old days:
They took the baby to church. There,
In the old days of the holy calendar, pointing a finger,
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 - you like it, you don't want it - Jerome!
M.Vladimov

However, only pre-Christian names have been preserved in history, which we still have today, they got into the Russian language at the beginning of the 2nd millennium through the preachers of the Christian religion, most of whom were southern Slavs: they had Christianity much earlier than in Rus'.

In the first years after October revolution the bulk of those born were given old names. After graduation civil war changes took place - they began to arrange church weddings less often, carried out the required civil registration of newborns.

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!
M.Vladimov

Currently, abbreviated forms of names are very common. Abbreviated forms are used in a variety of situations, with the exception of official ones. Abbreviated names are so short that they often turn out to be consonant with several full names, and vice versa, several abbreviations can correspond to one full name. For example:
Agrafena - Agasha - Gasha - Granya - Grunya - Pear - Fenya;
Alexander (a) - Ara - Arya - Alya - Alik - Xana - Xanya - Aleksanya.

What's wrong in the eyes
The rains are slanting
Asya, Stasya, Nastenka,
Daughter Anastasia?
Just life is fantasy
Three matrekhs accommodated:
Asya, Stasya, Nastenka,
Everyone is Anastasia.
I. Snegov

Since there are numerous variants of the same names, it is necessary to distinguish between official and informal forms of naming people. In the Russian language, almost all forms of names varied, both church and secular, but secular ones - in a much wider range.

At baptism, the name of the child was recorded in the registration book (such books were kept in all churches), while usually following the spelling of that calendar or some other liturgical book that was available in this church. Upon receipt of a metric or certificate of birth (and they were issued not by the church, but by special civil institutions - in the cities of the consistory, in the villages of the volost clerk), the name was not rewritten letter by letter, but most often as requested by the parents or as the clerk considered it necessary. Serious legal significance was not attached to the discrepancy between the records of the name in the church book and in the metric; the main option was still the church one, and the spelling of the name could be additionally checked by the date of birth of the person named and the day of the angel that correlated with it.

Since earlier documents (passport, metric, certificate, baptismal record, etc.) got different variants names (both in church and in their secular form), all of them can be called passport, official, documentary, despite a number of spelling and pronunciation differences. In folk dialects, many names were subjected to significant alterations (Evdokia - Evdokeya - Avdotya through the unstable version of Avdokya), but since these forms also got into documentary records, they also have to be considered official.

In informal situations - at home, among friends - people are called by informal abbreviated forms of names. They have developed in everyday life for everyday use, since full names are sometimes cumbersome and inconvenient when communicating in the family, and especially among children and adolescents. (Ekaterina - Katya, Maria - Masha, etc.).

Good day, Nadezhda Mikhailovna! I'm glad to have found your resource! The topic of the lesson is relevant, informative, socially oriented, perspective-oriented. I always ask myself: "How can the knowledge and skills acquired in the lesson be useful to a student in everyday life?" After reading this resource, I didn’t have such a question, because. The lesson focuses on the zone of proximal development. Frankly, I systematized and expanded my knowledge and ideas on this topic myself. The goal that was set fully determined the logic of studying the content of the material and the nature of the interaction between the teacher and students. The stages of the lesson were sustained, during which problems and ways of solving them were formulated, the ability to work according to a plan, the ability to draw conclusions developed. Perfectly organized action of students to accept the purpose of the lesson. Verbal-visual, practical, partially exploratory teaching methods were used, which contributed to motivation, provided a dialogue in learning. I liked the stage of updating knowledge through activities with a timeline. An interesting literary series has been selected: riddles about the name with deep content and meaning, an excerpt from Homer's Odyssey (it's great that third-graders are already getting acquainted with such a serious work), "Saints", "Convention on the Rights of the Child", " Dictionary Russian language" by S.I. Ozhegov, L. Uspensky's story "A difficult case" (it's good that it is read by a trained student - this gave the correct emotional mood to accept the idea of ​​a story), which definitely motivated me to study the topic. The stage of discovery of new knowledge is presented in the form of mini-research in groups. This form of organization of cognitive activity helps to ensure cooperation between students, the inclusion of each student in activities to achieve the goal. Information for research is presented capacious, meaningful, which, in my opinion, is justified. This is both an element of advanced training and training at a high level. theoretical level. Children must face difficulty, be able to extract necessary information to generalize it. The teacher offers homework to choose from - this will allow you to reflect on your pedagogical activity in this lesson. The lesson traces the education of children in self-control over their activities, children learn to reflect on their actions. However, it seems to me that the method of asking the same questions to each student is not entirely successful. Children understand what answer is needed and adapt - they give out the one that they think they want to hear from them. Many reflexive techniques are described in the literature, I would advise you to use the technique of an unfinished sentence, "Sinkwine", "Cluster", various symbols and only on a voluntary basis. I agree with my colleagues, I was also confused by the stage of motivation - it motivated the guys, but rather through coercion. I was impressed by the presentation - interactive, high-quality, stylish, which served as a great addition to the lesson. I take note of the stage of entering a new topic - the teacher competently led the children to study the next topic; this, of course, motivates some children to prepare for the lesson - someone will definitely want to know information about their own or other surnames.
The lesson turned out to be productive! All selected tasks contribute to the achievement of the goal and correspond to the content. educational material. Nadezhda Mikhailovna, thanks for the resource! I take it in my piggy bank and recommend it to my colleagues. The resource will be relevant in the lessons of the surrounding world of other teaching materials, as well as in the lessons literary reading, Russian language, circles of historical, local history orientation.
I wish you further creative success! Sincerely, Natalya Vitalievna

Before the advent of Christianity in Rus', old Russian original names were used to name babies. By tradition, the names reflected the character traits and characteristics of a person, for example, Clever, Cunning, Kind, Brave, Molchan, Oblique, Krasava, Curly, Chernyak, Lame, Belyay. Sometimes the sons in the family were named in the order of their birth, for example: First, Second, Tretyak, Menshak, Elder, etc. Some names denoted an occupation or profession, for example, Selyanin, Kozhemyaka, etc. In ancient times, such features in the appropriation many nations had names. So, the Indians also noticed the features of people and reflected them in the names: Sly Fox, Eagle Eye, etc.

With the adoption of Christianity, the names were fixed in special church calendars. But even today you can find surnames derived from nicknames: Beetle, Cat, Sparrow, Wolf. From the 11th to the 17th centuries, Byzantine-Greek names became popular. The two-name system also received its development, when a person was given one name at birth, but was called differently. Names consisting of two roots, the last of which is “-glory”, became widespread during this period. Thus the names appeared Slavic roots: Borislav, Svyatoslav, Yaroslav, Vyacheslav and names with Byzantine-Greek roots: Miroslav, Stanislav, Bronislav, etc.

At one time, the Slavs had an interesting tradition when a child was given a name that only close relatives knew, and then they wrapped the child in a matting and carried it out the door. Thus, they showed the evil spirits that the child was thrown to them, and he was not native. Then the baby was given a second name, whose task was to scare away evil spirits. "They call Zovutka, but they call it a duck." This rite meant that a person would have an unsightly name so that no one could harm him. Own true name you couldn't tell anyone. In adolescence, the second rite was performed, and then the child was given a final name, which was supposed to reflect his already formed character.

This tradition quickly faded away, as a person was called a nickname, and his character changed accordingly. There was little meaning in the name-amulet in this situation, since the person had no connection with this name.

The usual for us naming people according to the formula - last name, first name, patronymic - was introduced at the beginning of the 18th century until 1917. At the same time, lists of names that you can choose for a child were agreed upon, pseudonyms also appeared. IN Soviet time it was popular to form new names reflecting events in the country. These were very unusual names worn mostly by girls. Agree, not every day you meet a woman with the name Idea, Oktyabrina or Iskra. Sometimes such names sounded rather awkward, such as a girl named Artillery Academy. However, some names were so liked that they exist to this day: Lilia, Ninel (Lenin is just the opposite),
