Who has a name day in mid-January. Name days in January: women's and men's according to the church calendar
How to choose a boy's name according to the Saints? What names are suitable for boys born in January? According to Christian custom, the boy's parents give a name in honor of the Saint, on the day of whose memory the child was born. Or this date can be chosen on the eighth day after the birth of the boy. The church calendar of the Saints will help you find the names of the boys according to the Saints of January, where all the names of the canonized Saints are listed in order.
In Rus', the tradition of naming a newborn boy according to the Saints has existed for a long time, the date was chosen directly on the baby’s birthday. Some families called the child a name that came on the eighth day after the date of birth, that is, on the day the rite of baptism was performed. This approach to the choice of names is also acceptable. Unlike boys, the names of girls could be chosen according to the Saints with a transfer for several days, since often there is no name of the Holy Women on the traditional day.
Why did people begin to give children names according to the Saints?
Believing families believe that, according to Christian tradition, God himself indicates the date of birth of the baby, and thereby also indicates the name of the child with which he needs to be endowed. In addition, people believe that the Saint they have chosen will be the guardian angel of their son and will protect and protect him until the end of his life.
Everywhere, the name of the newborn according to the Saints is chosen by the parents, but if they cannot pick up suitable name, a priest can do it for them. Some churches allow a boy to take a name on his birthday, on the eighth day from the date of birth, at which time the rite of naming is performed. You can also choose names in the period of forty days after birth (at this time, as a rule, the sacrament of baptism is performed). The book of Saints or a list of names according to the church calendar can be taken at the church or monastery where you will baptize the child. It should be noted that each church has its own edition of the names according to the Saints, since there is no one common version of the Saints for all the churches of Russia. The main thing is that in all Saints the names of canonized Saints are used. We hope that the following list will help you with choosing a name for the boys in the Saints in January.
