Prince Harry
, English Harry - a medieval version of the name Heinrich (derived from the ancient Germanic Heimrick), over time, Harry became an independent name (but this is not our case).

Full name Henry (English),

French: Henri,
Spanish: Enrique,
Danish, Swedish, Norwegian: Henrik.
Not related to the Scandinavian name Eric.
Where did Heinrich come from - and nowhere, nowhere is there such a name (as well as the name "Charlotte", with "a" at the end). A convenient version of the Russian reading.
Anna - Ann
There is an English version of Hannah. The name Anna comes from the Hebrew Hannah("mercy"). There is a version that Anna is one of the female variants of the name Ivan (Yohannan, means "Yahweh is merciful") along with Ivanna (Jeanne).
French: Ann (traditionally translated into Russian as Anna), Anette is a diminutive form, is not an independent name, Anais is a derivative of Ann, borrowed from Provençal dialects,

Danish: Anders (do not confuse with Spanish, the letters in the middle are different),
Swedish, Norwegian Andesh.
Eugenia(Eujini) - English name, Russian Evgenia. This is exactly how these names sound on the land of Elizabeth II: Eugene and Eugenia, no John and Jane (they mean Ivan and Ivanna).
French: Eugenie (hence the Russian "Zhenya", by the way),
Spanish: Eugenia,
Italian: Eugene.
Has nothing to do with the name Joanna (it's Ivanna again).
Original English name - Eugenia, Eugenia, but the Princess of York is called Eugenie, in the manner of one of the German variants of this name, therefore - Eugenie.
Princess Beatrice

Portuguese: Cristina, Cristiano,
Greek, Moldovan, Ukrainian: Christina.
Feminine form of the name Christian(meaning "Christian").
Sweden
Gustav
- Swedish version.
Spanish: Gustavo,
French: Gustave.
Silvia - practically does not change. In France, Sylvie.
Victoria
- similarly, Victoria is almost everywhere (although it sounds very funny in Swedish, listen to the recording of the wedding of Vicki and Daniel, they amusingly stretch "o" - Viktooooria - and pronounce a little through the nose).
French: Victoire, Quiz (we translate as "Quiz", both are female).
Spain, Italy- in addition to the main Victoria, there is a Quiz option.
Daniel - in Swedish, Norwegian and Danish.
Russian Daniel, Daniel, Daniel.

More known to us Magdalene- Ukrainian version. Magdalene is Greek.
Norway
Harald
- in Norwegian Haral, from Old Norse - Harald.
In Germany, Harald, Harold (Russian transcription - Harold).
English Harold does not derive from Harald, although the names have a similar form and the same meaning:
Old Norse Haraldr: har (army) + valdr (ruler)
Old English Hereweald: here (army) + weald (ruler).
Sonya
- 1) either a popular version of the name Sofia
2) either the female version of the Old Norse name Sony meaning "son" (perhaps Sonya is "daughter" but, more likely, just a derivative, like "karl" is a man, but "karla" does not mean "woman", although there is such a name).

Danish: Niklas,
Hungarian: Miklos,
Ukrainian: Mykola.
Willem-Alexander :
Willem- Dutch William, Wilhelm.

Corsican: Lysandre (Lysandra is female, has nothing to do with Elizabeth and Louise),
Hungarian: Sandor,

Konstantin-Christoph:
Dutch name Constantine.
English: Konstantin,
French: Constantin,
Spanish: Co. nst antino,
Italian: Ko st antino.
Name Constance is not a female form of Constantine, they are derived from similar but different personal Roman names: Constantine from Constantinus, Constance from Constans. Both mean "permanent". For comparison (variants of the name Constance):
Spanish Constance (female), Constance (male), French Constance (female) and Constant (male), Hungarian Constance.
Christoph- Dutch Christoffel, Christophorus.
English, German: Christopher,
Christoph - French.
I did not find the original name of the prince. Perhaps he was simply called by a French name. Or maybe it was his Russians who called him Madeleine :)
Spanish: Cristobal,
Italian: Cristoforo,
Greek: Christophoros,
Serbian: Christopher.
As you can see, Columbus was not called Christopher at all: he was an Italian, and his name was Cristoforo Colombo. The Spanish transliteration of the name, according to Wikipedia, is Cristobal Colón.

Real princesses are known to be born to a queen mom and a king dad.. This means that the parents themselves are aristocrats of the spirit and in no case should they turn into obedient servants of their daughter. If you are ready to be strict but fair, regal but gracious, and most importantly, gain strength to curb the whims and whims of your baby, then perhaps raising a princess is within your power.
And the most common case is the one in which parents just want to give their daughter a name with meaning, with the right energy and a clear message, a name that will become not only a line in the passport, but also a help in achieving goals, a strong brick of high self-esteem and faith into yourself.
Does this affect the fate and character of the girl?
It should be noted that the energy of aristocratic names is often ambivalent. On the one hand, the owner of a royal or princely name receives an invisible retinue of subjects and servants, and on the other, a great responsibility that any power bears. A strong name cannot but influence the fate and character of a girl: at first, it forces her to sit down and learn to remain a queen in any situation, and then it can prevent her from being liberated, being herself, and relaxing.
During the period of personality formation, when a teenage child is trying to find out who he really is, he will definitely turn to the origins of his name, studying, so to speak, the prototypes of his own personality. And here a person can either follow the path of imitation or the path of antagonism, but in any case, the influence of the name on the fate of the girl will be considerable.
Advantages and disadvantages
Let's try to sort through the advantages and disadvantages of choosing an aristocratic name for a girl.
positive impact:
- The nobility of sound.
- Refinement.
- The bearer of an aristocratic name receives the following competitive advantages:
- self confidence;
- attractiveness to the opposite sex;
- charm;
- determination;
- leadership potential.
Negative influence:
- Accentuation of egoism and selfishness.
- Excessive perfectionism.
- tragic subtext. The fates of monarchs are often difficult, so royal names sometimes encode not only brilliance and glory, but also great trials, hardships and suffering. As the saying goes, to whom more is given, the greater the demand.
However, these are just prerequisites. Absolutely, it’s not a fact that, having received a royal name, your princess will be domineering and selfish: a lot depends on upbringing, environment, on how exactly this name will be presented in the family. Will the parents emphasize and develop his strengths, or will they be held hostage to his overwhelming potential.
It is very important to use the energy of an aristocratic name for good: such a name is like a spell, you need to use it very, very carefully.
List
Russian royal
- Elizabeth and Catherine are the names of several great Russian queens from the Romanov dynasty.
- Olga, Tatyana, Maria, Anastasia - Grand Duchesses, daughters of Nicholas II.
- Alexandra is the wife of Nicholas II.
Noble
In the nobility, royal names were actively used, but the following were also very popular:
- Anna.
- Sophia.
- Maria.
- Elena.
- Natalia.
- Barbara.
To the ear of a modern person, these names sound like native ones and are often not associated with the royalty theme at all. However, this is what most often called noble girls until the October Revolution in Russia.
English
Names of the British Royal Family:
- Elizabeth- the name of the British Queen (full name - Elizabeth Alexandra Mary), named after Elizabeth I - the ruler, under whom Britain experienced its golden age.
- Victoria- the name of one of the most famous monarchs of the United Kingdom (everyone has heard of "Victorian England"). In addition, the current Crown Princess of Sweden is called Victoria.
- Margarita (Margaret)- Younger sister of Elizabeth II, princess. We do not forget here Margarita of Aragon and Margarita of Valois. It would not be superfluous to recall Bulgakov's Margarita.
- Diana- Unforgettable Princess of Wales. The popularity of this name in the 1990s went through the roof all over the world. Diana is both fragility and strength, beauty and depth, modesty and incredible charm.
- Katherine (Katarina)- The Duchess of Cambridge. New aristocratic name. Katherine is chivalry and nobility, aristocracy to the marrow of bones and at the same time sincerity and kindness.
- Megan- the name is also new to the Royal family of the Duchess of Sussex. The subtext is a challenge and pride, originality and passion.
- Camilla The Duchess of Cornwall, wife of Prince Charles. Camilla is resilience and a sense of humor, loyalty and patience.
- Charlotte (Charlotte Elizabeth Diana) Daughter of Catherine Middleton.
- Eugenia and Beatrice granddaughter of Queen Elizabeth.
- Zara is the daughter of Princess Anne.
- Mia Granddaughter of Princess Anne.
Other foreign
In all countries, without exception, among the nobility, names are traditional, very often repeat and alternate after 1–2 generations. The exceptions are the names of the so-called new aristocrats - those who came to the royal family from outside and entrenched themselves in it. Such names can also become traditional after some time (for example, Megan or Leticia).
When choosing an aristocratic name for your daughter, it is very important to remember: it is not the name that makes the person beautiful, but the person's name. The name itself does not contain any guarantees and no predetermination, only a certain vector, which in any case needs to be developed.

The other day, the twins of Prince Albert II of Monaco and Princess Charlene turned one month old. We have already shown you the first photos of Jacques and Gabriella, have shown an exclusive video from the official introduction of the heirs to the citizens of the country, and now we offer you to get acquainted with the history of their names.
Jacques Honore Rainier Grimaldi is in first place in line for the princely throne. His name was chosen by his parents with special care. So, according to Princess Charlene, who was born in South Africa, the French name Jacques was suggested by her. "It's very common in South Africa, just pronounced a little differently. It was adopted by the French in the 17th century when trade began to flourish." Obviously, in this way, Wittstock decided to pay tribute to her roots. The meaning of the name is "following on the heels." And Honore Renier is an obligatory part of the name of Monegasque princes.
Less is known about the details of the choice of name for Gabriella Teresa Maria Grimaldi. Charlene only mentioned that the beautiful sound worthy of the future princess was of decisive importance. Translated from Hebrew, Gabriella means "God's stronghold." They say that people who bear this name are very good-natured, responsible, receptive and have excellent intuition. Excellent qualities for an heir to the throne.

Inspired by such a responsible approach of the princes to the choice of names for their twins, HELLO.RU decided to find out what other options were most popular among the French-speaking rulers. It turned out that most often the French monarchs bore the names of Maria, Anna, Margarita, Charles, Louis, Philip. You will learn their meaning and history from our review.
Women's names:
Maria
Who: Mary of Brabant (wife of King Philip III), Mary of Luxembourg (second wife of King Charles IV), Mary of Anjou (wife of King Charles VII), Mary Tudor (third wife of King Louis XII), Mary Stuart (wife of King Francis II), Mary Medici (first wife of King Henry IV), Maria Leshchinskaya (wife of King Louis XV).
History: The name Maria comes from the ancient Greek name Mariam, which according to different versions means "rejected" or "sad". This name has maintained a steady popularity in many countries for several centuries. It gained particular demand in the Middle Ages and in the 19th century. Then came some time of "calm", and in the 1990s the name again climbed to the top of the ratings.
Character: Those who bear the name Maria usually have a kind and calm character, while having the necessary firmness in making decisions. They are demanding, lofty, do not like mediocrity, responsible and hardworking.
Jeanne
Who: Jeanne I of Navarre (wife of King Philip IV the Handsome), Jeanne II of France (wife of King Philip V), Jeanne d "Evreux (third wife of King Charles IV the Handsome), Jeanne of Burgundy (Limefoot) (first wife of King Philip VI), Jeanne I Auvergne (wife of King John II), Jeanne de Bourbon (wife of King Charles V the Wise), Joan of France (first wife of King Louis XII)
History: The name Jeanne is of Hebrew origin and means "God's grace." It was most popular in the Middle Ages. Like Mary, the name Jeanne was one of the favorites in the 19th century, but over the next hundred years it disappeared from the “nominal” scene. Its rediscovery happened today.
Character: Girls named Zhanna always know what they want. They make every effort and find a variety of means to achieve their goals. They are patient, open to the world and love risk.
Anna
Who: Anna Yaroslavna (wife of King Henry I), Anna of Brittany (wife of King Charles VIII), Anna of Austria (wife of King Louis XIII)
History: In Hebrew, the name Anna means "thank you". Its use remained rare until the 16th century. Subsequently, the situation began to change, the greatest interest in the name appeared in the middle of the 20th century. Annas were often called girls in France, Spain, Italy, Russia and other countries.
Character: Anna is brave, active, but closed. Among the owners of this name there are often introverts, it is not so easy to become their best friend, for this you need to pass the test of time and circumstances. But if Anna likes you, you will find a faithful and reliable companion.
Anna of Brittany
Blanca
Who: Blanca of Castile (wife of King Louis VIII), Blanca of Burgundy (first wife of King Charles IV), Blanca of Navarre (second wife of King Philip VI)
History: This name was a symbol of purity and innocence. Blanca was a rather rare option that is still popular in orthodox Christian families. It is reported that at present this name is given to 250 children a year.
Character: Blanks are sensitive and vulnerable natures, who have well-developed intuition and artistry. Girls bearing this name are charming and, like Jeanne, they love risk.
margarita
Who: Marguerite of Provence (wife of King Louis IX Saint), Marguerite of Burgundy (wife of King Louis X), Marguerite de Valois (first wife of King Henry IV), better known as Queen Margot
History: The name Margarita comes from the Greek word for "pearl". Girls with such names could be found in the 19th century, but in the first half of the next century it practically fell into disuse. Since 1960, the fashion for the name Margarita has returned again, since then its demand has only increased.
Character: Margaritas are very responsive, talented and hardworking. They believe that it takes a lot of hard work and dedication to be successful. Adhere to a realistic view of the world and try not to deviate from their principles.

Male names:
Louis
Who: 16 kings of France
History: Louis - is of Germanic origin and means "glorious in battle" or "famous warrior". The name appeared in the early Middle Ages, and it reached its heyday in the 19th and early 20th centuries. After a not very long lull, popularity returned to him in the 2000s. In the 2013 ranking, this name was ranked 6th most popular in France.
Character: Ludovics are responsive, persistent, able to achieve their goals. The difficulties and obstacles encountered along the way only inspire them to move forward. Men who bear this name are reserved, even secretive, and to many they may not seem very friendly.
Charles
Who: 10 Kings of France
History: This name is popular in many European countries, differing only in sound. In France, Charles sounds like Karl, in England - Charles, in Spain - Carlos, in Italy - Carlo, in Portugal - Carlos, in Poland - Karol. It has ancient German roots and means "masculinity", "courage". The popularity of the name Karl reached its peak in the 19th century. The second wave of love rose in the 1990s, and is now fading again.
Personality: Carl is generally a very outgoing, charming, resourceful, intelligent, peaceful person. Has a highly developed sense of responsibility. The first place in his life is always occupied by his family and his many friends.
Philip
Who: Six kings of France, five kings of Spain and the king of Macedonia
History: Translated from ancient Greek, Philip means "lover of horses." This name appeared in France in the 11th century, but was forgotten for a long time. In the 20th century, love for him flared up, then faded away again.
Character: All Philippas are active and very energetic. They have developed a sense of compassion, affection and kindness. As a rule, men bearing this name turn out to be good fathers and reliable friends.
Henry
Who: The Four Kings of France
History: This name is the best suited for future kings - Heinrich from ancient German means "head of the house", "ruler of the court." It, like Charles, is popular in many European countries, differing in sound. The name Heinrich really liked the people of the Renaissance, and those who lived in the 19th and first half of the 20th centuries considered him perhaps the most beautiful and harmonious. In the middle of the 20th century, the popularity of the name Henry faded, now it is gradually returning.
Character: A man named Heinrich is likely to be ambitious, but at the same time quite realistic, soberly assessing his capabilities and strengths. He is constantly looking for truth and justice, is very inquisitive and has excellent oratory skills.
Clovis
Who: Merovingian King Clovis I
History: Clovis or Clovis is an ancient Germanic name meaning "glorious fighter" or "glorified in battles." From him came the more common name Louis at the present time. It has maintained an even popularity for many centuries.
Character: Outwardly, Clovis looks like a very calm and balanced people, but passion is hidden inside them. People bearing this name are quite sensitive and can quickly lose their temper if something does not suit them.
In Russia, children were often given the names of kings or dynastic names. Well, does the church dare to object if someone names the child not according to the calendar, but in honor of the monarch or someone from his family? Everything here is decent and justified! And, most importantly, it comforts the soul with the hope that the child will repeat the enviable fate of the monarch. Heresy, of course, is superstition and a relic of the pagan past, but they won’t be sent to the stake, why not try? So there was an overabundance of Nikolaev, Mikhailov, Konstantinov, Alexandrov, Vladimirov. And with them Catherine, Mari, Elizabeth, Xenius and other namesakes of royalty.
Not without curiosities. It happened that the fate of the monarch turned out to be unenviable, he was transported to the casemates or to the scaffold, and another lucky man replaced him on the throne. Frustrated dads and moms rushed to the authorities and asked their high permission to change the name of the offspring. In order to call him the name of the new king, more, in their opinion, more successful.
It must be said that special attention was paid to the names of the reigning dynasties. They were included in a separate list, which was very small, and additions to it were allowed only with the permission of the head of the dynasty and the approval of the church. Peter the Great treated this list rather dismissively. Peter named one of his daughters Margarita. This name in those days was found only among nuns, but Peter liked it very much. And he, without much thought, acted contrary to established customs, thereby freeing a very beautiful name from monastic vestments. Peter's daughter Margarita died while still a baby. But his zeal for change has not faded. He entered the names of Alexander and Paul into the nominal list of the reigning dynasty and named his sons that way. The boys also died very young. But the sad fate of the children did not at all embarrass the court society. Catherine II subsequently named her son Paul, and her grandson Alexander. The names were revived and over time became very popular. For the most part, today's Alexanders do not even suspect that before the king, who opened a window to Europe, this name was rare and almost disappeared.
But all of the above applies to the names of Russian tsars. But how many of them were in different states and in world history! Therefore, for those who wish it is completely unself-critical to use the name of the monarch for personal purposes, namely to create, several small lists are given. More details about kings and dynastic names can be found at least in the same Wikipedia.

Pravda.Ru 09/25/2004 at 20:34
At one of the Pravda.Ru forums, we recently drew attention to the question of a young mother who turned to everyone who could help her: “We are very happy - triplets were born: two boys and a girl! my husband and I give them royal names. In addition, they have everything in order with their patronymics: super-royal - Petrovichi! Who can answer, suggest what names our rulers had the most common?".
Frankly, we wrote to the lady almost immediately on an individual basis. But then we thought, because it will be interesting to many. The search has been significantly expanded and refined. And here's what happened in the end.
Name statistics
For 1141 years of the annalistic history of Russia, only 7 women with five names visited the heads of our state: two each Anna and Catherine, as well as Olga, Elizabeth and Sophia. So here the choice of royal names is not rich, although all these names are beautiful. In addition, with the patronymic Petrovna, God himself ordered to name her daughter Liza.
There were much more male rulers in Rus' (as they say, not by skill, but by number!) - 82 people with 32 names. Breakouts are like this.
Ivans and Dmitrys ruled us 6 times.
Alexanders, Vasily, Mikhails and Yuris (or Georges - the same spelling in the annals) were at the head of the Russian state 5 times each.
Vladimirs got power four times.
Andrey, Vsevolod, Izyaslav, Petra, Svyatoslav, Fedor and Yaroslav stayed in the royal place three times.
Boriss, Igors, Konstantins, Mstislavs, Nikolais, Svyatopolks and Yaropolks were in the supreme power twice each.
Finally, people with the names Aleksey, Vladislav, Daniil, Joseph, Leonid, Nikita, Oleg, Pavel, Rostislav, Rurik and Semyon managed to "steer" Mother Russia once.
Patronymic statistics
However, the royal name is far from always the royal patronymic. For example, in Russian history there were no princes with such patronymics as Yaropolkovich or Svyatopolkovich. Children, for example, Rostislav, Semyon and even Andrey, were not in power either. So, if you want to increase the chances of success not only for your offspring, but also for your grandchildren, approach the choice of the names of your sons with special care. And according to our history, it turns out that the patronymic Petrovich is not very "super royal".
Yaroslav's children hold the palm among the reigning persons - 9 times they stood at the head of the Russian state. And all - Yaroslavovichi, that is, men. The one who is "Yaroslavna's cry" is not considered - she was not a Grand Duchess, and, who knows, maybe that's why she cried.
Vladimirovichs, children of Ivanovs (6 Ivanoviches and one Ivanovna) and children of Alekseevs (four Alekseevichs and three Alekseevnas) occupied the highest post 7 times each.
Aleksandrovichi and Vsevolodovichi reigned 5 times.
Four times - Yurievichi (Georgievichi).
3 times each - Vasilievichi, Mikhailovichi and Fedorovichi.
2 times each - Danilovichi, Dmitrievichi, Izyaslavovichi, Ilyichi, Mstislavovichi, Olegovichi, Pavlovichi, children of Peter (Petrovich and Petrovna), Sergeevichi and Svyatoslavovichi.
There are 10 more patronymics of people who managed to stand at the helm of the Russian government, but their fate is such that this will be discussed in another note.
The patronymics of the first four rulers of Rus' - Rurik, Oleg, Igor and Olga - historians could not find out.
Sacrament of the name
Is it possible from a scientific point of view to somehow explain the royalty of this or that name? It turned out it was possible. No one has done this yet, but after some time, Doctor of Philology, Professor Irina Cherepanova took up this task especially for Pravda.Ru. Irina Yurievna is one of those few scientists who are engaged in a completely unusual, but extremely promising science - suggestion. Suggestive linguistics is the suggestion of certain images and actions through the word. In many ways, focusing on suggestive linguistics, now, in particular, they are building election campaigns for the State Duma, local bodies, of course - for the post of president of Russia. Professor Cherepanova agreed - for people with certain names, the road to the highest echelons of power is contraindicated.
Again, after a while she will be able to explain in detail some of the scientific nuances of this fact. In the meantime, based on the analysis of historical facts, we put forward our hypothesis of how the names of our rulers can affect our lives.
Numbering of kings
Why are they trying to number the reigning persons, calling the same names from century to century? Louis, Karl, Philip, Edward, Georg, Anna... Stability and continuity of power in the mere sound of a name? Isn't it strange. However, in Russia, for the 11-century history, there are only 39 names and 30 patronymics of rulers. At the same time, in those short periods of time, when the eyes were dazzled by new names and patronymics, the country was sausage with terrible force. It happened, of course, and for the good of the future it was sausage: the names of the first Russian princes - Rurik, Oleg, Olga - were never repeated again. But more often the opposite happened. For 14 years of unrest, our people had rulers with 2 new names and 2 new patronymics. For 70 years of Soviet power - 3 new names and 4 new patronymics. And almost all of them never happened again!
However, it is even worse if they are repeated. With Boris Godunov, a mess began at the beginning of the 11th century. With Boris Yeltsin - a mess at the end of the twentieth century. We didn't have any other Boriss. And, do not bring, Lord, that there are more.
What about other coincidences? Both Ilyichs in Soviet history tried to improve the life of the people anew. But in the end it turned out worse than it was.
Both Sergeevich dared in agriculture: one planted corn, the other chopped down vineyards. Both democratized society until they were thrown out. By the way, they are similar in their cultural level.
Both Olegovichs - Vsevolod 11 and Igor 11 - did everything possible to add hostility to the state, fragmenting the country for personal interests.
With Yaropolk 1, the process of spreading the pagan religion began, which before him was uniform among the Slavs. And from Yaropolk 11, the process of fragmentation of the country began.
It is strange that monarchs with names and patronymics uncharacteristic of Russian history to one degree or another raped the country, turning back the flow of people's lives. The worst enemy of the unification of the Russian lands and the personal enemy of Yuri Dolgoruky was the Grand Duke Izyaslav 111 Konstantinovich. At one time (1825), Constantine prudently abdicated. And another Konstantin (Chernenko) for some reason agreed to rule the country. And rules in a half-dead state. The most terrible ruler was Joseph Vissarionovich.
Fatal middle names
On patronymics - a separate conversation. In our history, 10 people were heads of state with patronymics, which no one wore before or after them. And here are their stats.
Antonovich (Ivan U1) - deposed and killed
Bogdanovich (False Dmitry) - overthrown and killed
Borisovich (Fyodor Godunov) - overthrown and killed
Vissarionovich (Joseph Stalin) - no comment
Davidovich (Izyaslav 111) - killed
Igorevich (Svyatoslav 1) - killed
Konstantinovich (Dmitry 111) - deposed
Leopoldovna (Anna) - deposed, died in the wilderness
Sigismundovich (Vladislav) - deposed
Ustinovich (Konstantin Chernenko) - died after a short reign
So is it worth going to power with a name that is not traditional for Russia? What awaits, for example, Vladimir Zhirinovsky? And is it not because Gennady Andreyevich Zyuganov cannot win the presidential elections in any way, because in the history of Russia there were three rulers of Andrey, but not one - Andreyevich?
There are among our politicians people with "absolutely royal" patronymic names. Do not they help them to collect the necessary part of the consonant electorate? Or maybe we, the electorate, should pay attention to Vladimirov Vladimirovich, Yuriev Mikhailovich - at least they won't screw up?!
Royal biathlon
For the sake of the experiment, we have collected the "royal all-rounders" together: those names with which people were on the throne (the first number in brackets is the number of times), and those names that were later put in the patronymics of royal persons (the second number is in brackets). As a result, according to the number of points scored, the "places" were distributed as follows:
1. Ivan - 13 (6+7)
2. Yaroslav - 12 (3+9)
3. Vladimir - 11 (4+7)
4. Alexander - 10 (5+5)
5. Yuri - 9 (5+4)
6. Dmitry - 8 (6+2)
7-8. Vasily - 8 (5+3)
7-8. Michael - 8 (5+3)
9. Vsevolod - 8 (3+5)
10. Alexey - 8 (1+7) 
11. Fedor - 6 (3+3)
12-14. Izyaslav - 5 (3+2)
12-14. Peter - - 5 (3+2)
12-14. Stanislav - 5 (3+2)
15-16. Mstislav - 4 (2+2)
15-16. Nikolay - 4 (2+2)
17-19. Boris - 3 (2+1)
17-19. Igor - 3 (2+1)
17-19. Konstantin - 3 (2+1)
20-22. Daniel - 3 (1+2)
20-22. Oleg - 3 (1+2)
20-22. Pavel - 3 (1+2)
The quality of certain rulers and the correspondence of their names to the names and characters of current politicians, of course, is up to the reader to judge.
