Most of medieval Belarusian names have come down to us from written sources from the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania, written in - a state that arose as an amalgamation of Slavic and Lithuanian tribes and included the territories of modern Lithuania, Belarus, central and western Ukraine and western regions of the European part of Russia.
The official language of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania was the so-called. Western Russian written language(in scientific literature it is also known as Old Belarusian, Old Ukrainian or South Russian). The majority of the population was Orthodox, so the names of the ancestors of modern Belarusians, appearing in written sources, mostly borrowed from Orthodox calendar:
"And there were lighters: Prince Mikhailo Vasilievich, and Pan Nemira, headman of Litsky, and Pan Bogush, and Pan Fedko, the edge, and Pan Senko, sub-chancellor." (1436, ).
As you can see, three of the five "witnesses" (witnesses) have Orthodox names: Mikhailo (Mikhail), Fedko (Fyodor) And Senko (Semyon). (Note that only Prince Mikhailo is named with the full (church) name; and the names "Pana Fedka" and "Pana Senka" are recorded in the so-called folk (colloquial) form). Other witnesses are mentioned under pagan names ( Nemira And Bogush), which corresponds to the custom of a double name common among the Eastern Slavs (see. Old Russian names). This custom lasted quite a long time and died out only by the 16th-17th centuries.
After the unification of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania with the Kingdom of Poland, the Western Russian language began to be replaced by Polish, and Orthodoxy by Catholicism. Names from the Catholic calendar begin to penetrate into the Belarusian name book. As a result, starting from the 17th century, as many as three naming systems function in parallel in Belarus: canonical names of the Orthodox spectrum, canonical names from the Catholic calendar and folk (colloquial) forms of names:
Vikentsiy - Vintsent - Vintsuk
Athanasius - Atanasius - Apanas/PanasThe Polish language left its mark on Catholic names, as official language The Commonwealth, into Orthodox - Russian, which became the main language of office work in the Belarusian lands after the partition of Poland. The Belarusian language was practically ousted from official use, so the actual Belarusian forms of names were often replaced by Polonized or Russified variants:
“I’m all at home, and all the helpers are in May, the head of the house is Yazep, and the priest and the pan were called Yuzaf. And the Vaiskov pisar of the Russian tsarist army recorded and called me Vosip albo Osip - who is it ... ”( Fedar Jankowski, “Tsezka”).
("Everyone at home, and all my relatives, are called Yazep, and the priest and pan were called Yuzaf. And the military clerk in the Russian tsarist army wrote down and my name was Vosip or Osip - whoever ... ")Folk forms of names among Belarusians were very diverse. Many of them were formed from church (canonical) names with the help of suffixes or truncation: Konstantin-Kastus, Alexander-Ales, Alelka (Olelko),Alekhna (Alekhno,Olekhno). At the same time, short or suffixal forms were perceived in folk life as full-fledged full names (something similar was observed in the Ukrainian nomenclature).
The set of suffixes with which names were formed was very extensive and depended on age and social position referred to as:
"Mothers, as you know, pick the best for their children affectionate names or, in other words, they form these names from baptismal ones according to the laws of the language and accepted customs. So, Anton will be - Antsik, Yury - Yurtsik, Michal - Mis, Mystsik, etc.<…>
When trousers were already put on the boy and he had already become a man, then in order to more strongly indicate this change in his life, he is no longer called Yurtsik, Petryk, Antsik, he is no longer Sissy, and the worker<…>, and his name is already more suitable: Pyatruk, Alguk, Yurka, etc. This is the form of the names of the so-called. pastoral state.
But now the boy has grown up, he is no longer a shepherd, but an adult guy. Then either he rubbed himself in, or, perhaps, someone introduced him to a male or female company, to a party or to a game. For a girl's company, such a form of names as Alguk, Pyatruk is clearly not suitable, and in the end old custom requires a polite, amiable tone in the relations of young people among themselves. And so, in this area, Alguks themselves turn into Algeevs, Pyatruks into Pyatrusey, Yurki into Yurasey.<…>
Finally, the time comes to get married: the transition "from boys to male glory." At this point, God himself ordered Ignas, Mis, Kastus to turn into Ignat, Michal, Kastus, etc.<…>But time is running. The children have grown up. Michal, Ignat and Petra married their sons.
Daughter-in-law coming to new family, tries to be polite, courteous with everyone - and, first of all, with her husband's parents. And so Zmitser becomes Zmitrash, Butramey - Butrym, etc. And not only in the family circle, but also among the neighbors.
Thus, in the Kryvsky (Belarusian) name list there are forms of names: for a child - Antsik, Petrik; for a teenager - Yanuk, Bavtruk, for a guy - Kastus, Yuras, for a man - Butrym, for an old man - Mikhaila, Yarash, Astash. Vatslav Lastovski, "Kryўska-Belarusian name" (1918).
Subsequently, many of these suffixal forms were lost: the same Lastovsky noted that many variants of names, especially female ones, had not actually met by that time.
In 2009 in Minsk, the most popular names for newborns were:
Of the traditional Belarusian names, the most popular are Alesya And Yana.
A few years ago, Belarusian legislation allowed giving children double names (previously this was allowed only if one of the parents is a foreigner). However, this opportunity is rarely used, the only exception being the Grodno and Brest regions, where many Catholics live (http://www.racyja.com/news/naviny/sotsyum/23732.html).
Rules for the pronunciation of Belarusian names
The Belarusian spelling is based on the phonetic principle ("I write what I hear"). Therefore, the spelling of names conveys the peculiarities of the Belarusian pronunciation: yakanye (transition of pre-stressed e V I: Yagor - cf. Russian Egor ), akanye ( A instead of pre-shock O: Aleg - cf. Russian Oleg ) etc.
The Belarusian alphabet uses the same symbols as Russian, and in most cases the letters stand for the same sounds as in Russian. However, there are also differences:
To denote the sound "and" the letter is used і ;
- letter ў (short, non-syllable) denotes a sound close to English w;
- instead of solid mark an apostrophe (') is used.Note that in addition to official rules spellings adopted in the Republic of Belarus, there is also an alternative spelling (the so-called tarashkevitsa, or "classical spelling"), used before the 1933 Belarusian spelling reform. To date, Tarashkevitsa is mainly used by representatives of the Belarusian diaspora outside the CIS, as well as some nationally oriented print publications and web resources.
About the list of names posted on this site
The list includes the names of the Orthodox and Catholic spectrum, their folk (colloquial) forms, as well as some foreign names that became popular in the 20th century. Various spellings of names are also given (taking into account the tarashkevitsa: Natallia-Natalia), diminutive forms, church canonical variants for names present in Orthodox calendars (according to the Russian Orthodox Church calendar), romanized for the form of names included in the Catholic calendar, as well as information about the meaning and origin of the name.
Education
During the time of Kievan Rus, the ancestors of modern Belarusians, like other East Slavic peoples, mainly used ancient Russian names. Such names with the meaning of the nicknames of Nemira, Ratsha, and others have long outlived their usefulness. Two-part names (Dobromila, Zvenislava) were used exclusively by the nobility. But thanks to the positive meaning, some of them have survived to this day.
With the advent of Christianity on the territory of modern Belarus, Christian, baptismal names also appeared. Children began to be named after the saints, and by the 17th century the ancient, pagan names were completely supplanted. During the time of the Commonwealth (13-14 centuries), Catholicism penetrated the land of Belarusians. Catholic names begin to appear in the local name book - Teresa, Jadwiga.
Most modern Belarusian names have Orthodox roots, many of them are similar to Ukrainian and Russian names, which was once due to common culture and language.
Naming ceremony
Before the adoption of Christianity, parents could call the child absolutely any word. With the advent of the official religion, names began to be chosen based on Christmas time. The naming took place during the sacrament of church baptism. But Belarusians also have their own traditional naming customs.
For example, the child could be given two names at once, one of which was known only to a narrow circle of relatives. This was done to protect the baby from evil spirits. The Slavs believed that without knowing the name of the child, the spirits would not be able to harm him.
Also, there was a belief among Belarusians that if you name a child after a person who became famous for bad deeds (drunkenness, theft, etc.), then the child will repeat his fate. Therefore, people sought to name the child in honor of someone who became famous for exceptionally good deeds.

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their newsletters, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magic forums and deceive (give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure out money for performing magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We are not engaged in healing and magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, we always write that you need to be an honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity. So please be careful!
