The best female name by value. Rare and beautiful names for girls

Russian language belongs to the group Slavic languages. However, many Russian names are not originally Russian by their origin. They are borrowed from Greek along with 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 the names of the Greek proper, there were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which in its own mother tongue reflected a certain meaning, but when borrowing it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.

By the 18th and 19th centuries Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names have 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.

The name Eve is considered to be the most ancient biblical name, and belonged to the first woman who appeared on earth by the will of God, so that Adam would not be bored. Today, women's names are numbered in hundreds of different variations, and each has found a place in the name book of women's names ...

Women's names in different cultures of the world

Each individual country and each culture has its own rules and traditions regarding the naming of future women. Women's names are chosen in accordance with different rules: somewhere they are based on centuries-old traditions, somewhere they are parables and legends, and somewhere, as in Western civilization, names are given to girls only from standard considerations, taking into account such factors as the beauty of sound , pronunciation speed, fame and popularity.

Take, for example, Slavic culture. There has long been only one single tradition - the name for girls, like boys, was given only after reaching the age of nine, when the child could already be associated with any craft (the name was closely associated with it). Prior to this, a child could be called by his ordinal number (which account appeared in the family), or simply “Child” or “Child”.

There were only a few rules in Muslim culture. Firstly, a female name does not have to be listed in the name book of female names, the main thing is that it should be a word that determines fate in translation. For example, the name Aliya was translated as "exalted", and Samiha - "generous".

And so in each individual culture there were at one time traditions that they adhered to, endowing with a name. Somewhere, over time, traditions have exhausted their significance, and somewhere they are still adhered to. However, church names, like traditional national ones, are popular to this day. Yes, and giving and signs also have weight in today's modernity.

So, in Iceland there is only one single rule today - a woman’s name cannot begin with the English letter “C” as such, because in the local culture, in the Icelandic alphabet, this letter simply does not exist.

Modern naming traditions

Subscribe to our channel

IN Slavic culture naming traditions are partially preserved. So, the tradition has been preserved, on the basis of which, a church female name should be given, taken from the name book according to the Saints, which lists the martyrs and Saints who once defended the formation of the Orthodox religion. In modern times, this tradition is far from being followed in every family, and yet everyone knows about it without exception, especially since during baptism the girl is still given a female Orthodox name from among the Saints.

Catholics have a similar tradition, and it is customary in accordance with it to also give names to women from the list of revered in the church. True, it is worth noting that the naming of newborns today in Catholic culture is approached more responsibly than in Orthodox.

In Islam, it is still considered obligatory to call the future woman by a name that could determine her fate by its translation. There are no biblical or church names, and only one female name appears in the Koran. As a result, girls are called by those variations that in translation mean some quality (generous, bright, noble, etc.), or the name of a flower.

But in the same France there is only one tradition - to call children the names of their ancestors. So, before they acted according to one simple scheme. The name of the girl was to consist of the names of the grandmothers on the paternal and maternal lines, as well as, revered on the day of the baptism of the Saint. In modern times, this tradition is difficult to follow. Therefore, mostly single names of relatives are given: godparents, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.

Name and religiosity: the main criterion for division

All "girl names" are divided into several categories and, based on them, into a small number of subcategories. But the most important criterion of all available is the criterion of religiosity. Based on the issue of religion, the most famous are female names:

Orthodox;
Catholic;
Muslim;
Jewish.

How to choose a suitable female name in modern times?

Naturally, ideally, one should follow the traditions in which a girl is born. Being an Orthodox family, you need to call with an Orthodox name, but in a Catholic, Catholic and in accordance with the traditions of Catholics. But if you don’t like the traditions, then you can resort to standard schemes that are common throughout the world.

So, in modern times, you can choose a female name based on five important parameters: the patronizing element, the sign of the Zodiac, the year according to the Eastern calendar, the patron planet, and religion.

With the latter, everything is so clear - it is desirable that the name refers to the religion to which the family and the newborn girl are directly related. If you belong to the Orthodox category of people, then it is advisable to choose from among the Orthodox female names.

As for the rest of the parameters, everything is simple here. Each sign of the zodiac and each animal from Eastern calendar in their own way they influence certain names with their energy.

In the same way, each name can have a different energy in alliance with one sign or another. The element is determined by the sign of the Zodiac and the date of birth of the child, but in the same way, each name is patronized by one or another element. It is advisable to choose a name that will correspond to all the named parameters without exception.

By the way, on our website, in the presented list, just the same, you will be able to weed out names according to the elements, signs of the Zodiac, years, and even seasons.

Loving and responsible parents, expecting the birth of a child, try to foresee everything - they select a doctor for pregnancy, make repairs in the children's room, buy a crib.

But one of the most responsible and exciting moments in anticipation of the appearance of his own dear person in the world is choosing a name for your child. When a daughter is born, parents, sorting through the most tender, most beautiful names for girls, try to choose the most suitable name just for their daughter.

The name will accompany a person all his life. It will make an imprint on his fate, from how exactly the child will be named, his entire future future may develop. Often, close relatives, grandparents are involved in choosing a name.

The name is chosen according to a variety of criteria, the child is called:

There are cases when the child himself chooses what name he will have. For example, responding to a certain name with movements and pushes. Sometimes the name of the child is chosen, focusing on the season.

At times Ancient Rus', the choice of the name of the child was influenced by certain events - Thunderstorm, Dawn, the attitude of parents to the child - Zabava, Lyubava, Zhdana, Joy, as well as the desire of parents to endow their daughter with certain qualities - Bogumila, Lyudmila, Dobroslav, Vsemil, Radosvet.

Even after the spread of Christianity in Rus', for a long time the child, along with the church name he received at baptism, was given a second name by relatives - Old Slavonic, believing that it would help protect the baby from troubles and illnesses.

There was a custom to protect frequently ill or weak children - parents would take a child out of the hut with sentences that we were taking away a child with a certain name, and bringing another child into the house, who was already called by a different, new name.

And to devilry completely lost interest in the baby, in this case they tried to choose a dissonant name - Nesmeyana, Nezhdana, or called a name denoting some animal - Swan, Pike, Magpie.

Choosing a name according to the church calendar

With the advent of Orthodoxy in Rus', the priest chose the name of the child, naming the child in accordance with the church calendar. The church successfully fought against pagan rites and soon church names almost replaced the names of pagan origin.

During the sacrament of baptism, the child began to be named, in accordance with the Saints. Saints, or - Prayer, this is a church calendar Orthodox holidays and days of honoring Orthodox saints. Giving the name to the child of that saint, whose day is close to the birthday of the baby, parents expect that he will protect the child, help him throughout his life.

According to the Prayer Book, parents tried to pick up not only the most meaningful names sacred, but also choose the most beautiful names for girls. The day on which the saint is honored, whose name the girl is named, will become the day of her Angel. Angel Day does not always coincide with the baby's birthday. The Saints contain over 1700 names of various saints, both female and male.

When choosing a name for a baby from the Prayer Book, you need to remember:

A double name is given to a girl if she has already been named by a name that is not used in the Saints, if this name is not Orthodox. Or if the priest advises to choose for the girl the name of the saint who is most suitable for her by birth.

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.
