The name of a person has always been endowed with a special sacred meaning. Men's were the embodiment of strength, courage, bravery, heroism. Women's names, on the contrary, endowed, according to their ancestors, their owners with beauty, tenderness, gentleness, patience. Modern Russian and foreign scientists have already scientifically proven that the name of a person has a considerable influence on his fate.

In recent years, there has been a trend to give girls unusual, rare names. However, experts believe that the choice of a name for a child should be approached as responsibly as possible. You should not be guided by fashion or momentary desire, succumb to pressure from relatives. Parents should clearly realize that they are making a choice with which a person will have to live all his life.

A rare and unusual name in itself gives its owner certain features. On the one hand, it automatically places the girl, as it were, apart from everyone else. Depending on the temperament and attitude of adults, this can either stimulate leadership qualities or unreasonable pride in the child, or provoke him to be as inconspicuous as possible.

On the other hand, having become accustomed to constant attention, a girl, especially as she grows older, when one name is no longer enough to hold positions, may unconsciously or purposefully strive for it.

Rare female names, beautiful modern Russian or foreign ones, should be chosen by parents for a child with the understanding that the girl will have to match the name, and parents should pay special attention to her upbringing.

How to choose a rare name

When choosing a rare beautiful female name, regardless of whether it is modern or ancient, Russian or not, some nuances should be taken into account:

1. The name should be harmonious for the environment of the child where he is supposed to live. Children easily compose teasing rhymes to any name, but some are especially insidious in this regard.
2. It should be easy to pronounce, both in full and in short form.
3. The full name must match the middle name. Vsevolodovna or Miroslavovna themselves are difficult to pronounce even for people with excellent articulation, so do not make them even more difficult to pronounce in combination with cumbersome names.
4. The combination of the first and last name should be taken into account, the general construction should be easy to remember and pronounce without difficulty. Yes, and common sense should not be written off from the accounts. Krivonos Karneliya or Madeleine Zaplyuisvechko are not the best options.
5. The name should be transformed into euphonious short forms, at least one.
6. It is advisable to refer to the works of people who have studied names and their influence on character and get acquainted with what they write about the option they like. Believe it or not, since the description of the names is compiled on the basis of many years of collecting information, it makes sense to take their interpretation into service. Feedback from many people speaks in favor of such studies.

Orthodox Russian names according to the calendar

From the moment of the baptism of Russia, a tradition has appeared to name children according to the calendar - a special church list-calendar. In it, every day is painted as the date of the memory of a saint (saint).

Over the past time, more than 1000 different names of Greek, Jewish, Slavic origin have accumulated in the calendar. Many of them are relevant today, some are completely forgotten, but all of them are endowed with a certain energy. Previously, it was according to this calendar that it was customary to name newborns, today this choice depends solely on the parents.

As a strict condition, the custom has ceased to exist everywhere and is preserved only in certain believing families.

The name from the holy calendar is given to the child during the rite of baptism and does not always correspond to its official (civilian) version.

So, for example, Nelly is not in the calendar, and the girl is baptized either with a consonant Neonila, or they are given a name on her birthday.

Rare and beautiful female names today have become undeservedly forgotten. Claudia, Evdokia, Varvara, Vasilisa - there are, but rare.

You can also find quite outlandish, in the opinion of a modern Russian person, names, such as:

• Leonila,
• Felicity,
• Eusebius.

Of the usual beautiful names in the holy calendar, you can find:

• Nina,
• Polina,
• Elena
• Olga
• Mary
• Sophia.

Rare Russian names - list

Some rare female names still sound beautiful today, reminiscent of Russian roots and traditions in our modern, international world:

• Milana (darling)
• Bogdana (given by God),
• Yaroslava (bright in glory),
• Bozena (God's wife)
• Darina (gifted by God),
• Snezhana (winter, snowy),
• Radmila (rejoicing, caring),

and similar ones are still relevant today. Even by ear, these names have a pronounced emotional coloring, very feminine and at the same time fraught with the power of ancestors and the patronage of higher powers. They pass it on to their owners.

They also include more popular beautiful names, such as Vera, Nadezhda, Lyudmila, Zlata. But Svetlana, despite the fact that she is based on such a “light” familiar to our ear, confuses researchers.

One of the versions of its origin is artificial origin, there is a theory that it was invented by Zhukovsky and Vostokov for the ballad of the same name, which ensured his popularity for a long time.

The names of the pre-Christian period were consistent with the beliefs and worldview of the people of that time. A close connection with nature, reverence for its power and elements, worship of pagan gods - all this was reflected in the way the distant ancestors called children.

The girls were called:

• Zhdanami (the child who was expected),
• Beautiful (beautiful)
• Mladami, Malushami (youngest daughter),
• Zorinami (born at dawn),
• Chernavami (dark-haired, swarthy),
• Yaroslavami (glorifying God Yarila), etc.

English

England is very interesting and original for the Slavs in terms of names and surnames. The inhabitants of foggy Albion have a full name consisting of three components: the first name, the second name and the surname itself. Traditional English names have Celtic and Scottish roots, however, German, Norman, Arabic, Christian names also had an important influence on their formation at one time.

This is due to the fact that for a long time in the territories belonging to the modern United Kingdom, there was an active mixing of various ethnic groups. Among this list there are also artificial names invented on purpose.

In pre-revolutionary Russia, English names were slightly less popular than French ones. Often they were replaced in a foreign manner by a secular, worldly name, and Mary turned into Mary, and Anna into Ann. In modern Russian culture, even the most common English names will sound unusual.

In England, a huge number of beautiful female names. In countries where people speak English, you can call a girl any word you like, for example:

• April (April),
• Chamomile (Daisy),
• Jasmine (Jesmine)
• Ice (Crystal),
• Ruby (Rubby)

- and all these are female names.

Greek

The original Greek names are divided into two large subgroups:

Modern beautiful female names, rare or well-known, but traditionally seeming Russian to us, have Greek roots. The absolutely Russian name Elena, translated from the language of Archimedes, means "shining, torch." And in fact, Elena is a bright, energetic woman, endowed with charisma and a bright temperament. Xenia, Evlampia also came from Greece.

The Greeks also have a lot of original and very unusual female names:

• Olympics,
• Alexia,
• Isadora,
• Selena,
• Ruzanna,
• Ophelia,
• Sandra
• Monica.

American

American culture is a mix of English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish and many others. In such a cocktail of cultures and names varied both in origin and in sound.

Much depends on the part of the country and its population. In Venezuela, where you can still hear German speech today, many women are called Marta, Greta, and in California, Spanish Mercedes and Dolores are popular.

According to recent statistics, most often the inhabitants of the United States of America name their daughters:

• Barbara,
• Elizabeth,
• Dora,
• Emma,
• Sophie,
• Mary.

If you want to name a girl with a rare name in the American style, you can choose one of these names.

In some Catholic families, even today they adhere to the tradition of naming a child after the saint on whose day he was lucky enough to be born, but most of the citizens of this country still prefer to name their offspring according to their personal sympathies.

In recent years, there has been a tendency to call children not by proper proper names for people, but by any word that they like. It usually tends towards superiority or pathos, eg Legend, Queen.

Popular names in America that sound original and beautiful for Russians:

• Michelle
• Mary,
• Stella,
• Evelina,
• Lucille
• Clara,
• Bark,
• Dolores,
• ruby,
• Lillian,
• Lola.

Japanese

Japanese female names are melodic, euphonious, easy to pronounce and recognize.

The meaning of names, like that of other peoples, most often comes down to beauty, harmony and perfection:

• Kamiko is the child of perfection
• Katsumi - all-conquering beauty,
• Meiko is a dancing child
• Rika is a highly acclaimed fragrance,
• Sekera - Dawn in Japan.

German

In Germany, at the legislative level, a ban is imposed on children receiving invented names or inappropriate words, surnames, even world-famous ones, as well as geographical, historical and other names and terms were used as them.

In return, the Germans are given the widest choice of names with ancient Germanic roots, as well as Catholic ones, since more than 30% of the population vehemently adhere to church traditions.

The most beautiful and popular in recent years, according to statistics among the Germans, were the names:

• hanna,
• Helga,
• Helen,
• Emma,
• ingrid
• Peter.

When naming a girl with a German name, one must not forget the rule: it must be combined with a patronymic and surname.

Armenian

The formation of their names, as well as the culture as a whole, was strongly influenced by the Persians, Arabs, Slavs, and Turks. Many names were taken from the "Old Testament", "Bible" and other Christian texts.

Female Armenian names personify the best that is in the weak half. Some names appeared under the influence of the myths and beliefs of the people: The woman is the mother (Anahit), in honor of the goddess of motherhood and the warrior, the girl was called Nane, and the worshipers of the dawn goddess called the daughter Mane.

Many parents believed that their daughter would grow up to be what her name would be. This is how they appeared:

• brilliant vines,
• devoted to God Mariam,
• happy Yerjanik,
• guarding the hearth of Nune,
• freedom-loving soul Azatui.

Tatar

Tatar names for girls are rooted in the Turks, have a long history of origin and are diverse. In the culture of the Tatars, most female names in one way or another refer to the sky, planets, stars and everything that fits into this theme.

For example, the syllable “ai” at the beginning of the name means the Moon, and thus Ainuru can be translated as “light of the moon”, and Aibike - “lunar mistress”. The most common beautiful female Tatar name Chulpan is translated into Russian as "Venus" or the morning star. A good share of Tatar names appeared after the people converted to Islam, so many of them contain “ulla” in their structure, i.e. Allah.

Rare Muslim

The worst thing that can happen in the life of a faithful Muslim is a departure from the instructions given in the Koran. And this holy book says that parents are fully responsible for the life and actions of their child, so the choice of a name for residents of Muslim countries is of such great importance.

Of the female names mentioned on the pages of the Koran, there is only one - Mariam, so among Muslims there was a tendency to call girls with words from their scriptures, which have a pious and pleasant meaning.

Over time, they turned into proper female names, some of them are more popular, while others are rarely used:

• Iman (faith)
• Zulfa (search, gaining mercy),
• Zahra (beauty, best time),
• Ilyaf (union),
• Kunuz (treasure),
• Camila (whole, complete),
• Mawaddah (love, passion)
• Misbach (source of light).

The rarest names in the world

Every year, in each country, the state bodies involved in the registration of newborns collect and transmit to the relevant statistical centers and institutions information on how many babies and under what names received their first documents.

Information about people who decide to change their name in adulthood is also sent there. Based on all these indicators, various graphs, charts and diagrams are displayed, including a list of the most popular female and male names of the year.

According to the results of the past period, birth certificates were issued least often in the CIS for:

It is rather difficult to talk about the rarest names on a global scale, since in different countries parents sometimes show unprecedented imagination and call children unthinkable words.

For example, a girl lives in Kyiv under the name "Privatization".

Unusual names

It is already difficult to surprise anyone with Louises, Estersites and Loireles, but registry office workers are sometimes amazed at the fantasies of some parents. On the territory of Moscow, the couple demanded to record their son under the name BOC rVF 260602 and naturally they were refused.

Today, “a biological object of a human of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002” (namely, this is how the full name sounds) is 15 years old, and he still lives without official metrics.

Despite the fact that among modern Russians there is plenty to choose from, people continue to come up with rare female names, they are sometimes formed as an abbreviation for slogans, say, "Lorierik", which includes the words "Lenin" and "October Revolution", "Industrialization and "Electrification", "Radiofication" and "Communism".

There were precedents in the world when they tried to give children such names as "Circumcision", "@", "Q", "Justice", "Messiah", "Nutella". Many states create lists of names that babies should not be called, and courts refuse to register babies for parents because of inappropriate words, characters and numbers in the “name” column.

European names. European (Western) female names and their meaning

So much is said about the culture or traditions of England, but it is quite rare to find out about English names. And the topic, by the way, is very entertaining. After all, the naming system is globally different from what we are used to.

If we have a first and last name, then in England it is somewhat different. They have a first name, a middle name, and a surname. In addition, in England it is considered normal to give diminutive forms of the name. For example, even in formal conversations, a person may be called Tony, although his full name sounds like Anthony. If desired, the child can be immediately recorded with a diminutive name and the state will not object. Moreover, almost any word or name can be taken as a name - for example, the name Brooklyn. But if we tried to name our son, for example, Novosibirsk, they would hardly give permission for this.

The system of English given names and surnames

Each of us is already accustomed to the fact that he is the bearer of the surname, name and patronymic. But such a scheme is not suitable for the British, their naming system is absolutely unusual and therefore curious. The main difference between our systems is the lack of a patronymic. Instead, they have a surname, a first name, and a middle name. Moreover, as any of these two names, an Englishman can carry the names of some stars or even his ancestors. Although there is no strict requirement that a person have only these three points. Any Englishman can give a child a name from several names or surnames. For example, if you want to name it in honor of the whole football team at once.

Such a tradition - to give a person a surname as a name, has come down to our days from noble families. Although the history of the English name system developed quite actively, borrowings were made from various countries, and names were also mixed from the Angles, Celtic tribes, Franco-Normans. Since the Anglo-Saxons initially had only one name, they tried to attach special importance to it. Therefore, in the composition of ancient names one could meet such words as wealth or health. Old English female names were most often composed using adjectives, the most common variation being Leof (dear, beloved). And after the Norman invasion of England, a surname was gradually added to the name, making it close to the name system that exists today. The old Anglo-Saxon names gradually began to disappear, and due to the influence of the Christian religion, Christian schools that opened everywhere actively stimulated the registration of newborns who received a name at baptism, so the names changed slightly: from Mary to Mary, from Jeanne to John.

Modern English names

It is very common in English names to have pet and diminutive forms as official names. With us, such a form is allowed only with personal, close communication. For example, take at least people familiar to everyone - Bill Clinton or Tony Blair. They are called by such names even at world negotiations, and this is absolutely acceptable. Although in fact, Bill's full name is William, and Tony is Anthony. The British are allowed to register a newborn child, giving him a diminutive first or second name. Although there are no special prohibitions on choosing a name in English-speaking countries as such, it is possible to give a child a name after a city or district. So, for example, the star couple Beckham did, Victoria and David gave their son the name Brooklyn - it was in this area of ​​\u200b\u200bNew York that he was born.

Gradually, fashion began to change and names in English-speaking countries often began to be borrowed from different languages. Since the 19th century, many female names have appeared such as Ruby, Daisy, Beryl, Amber and others. Willingly used names originally from Spain or France - Michel, Angelina, Jacqueline. But the tendency of some people to give their children unusual names has not disappeared anywhere. Bill Simser, Vice President of Microsoft, named his daughter Vista Avalon. The first part of the name is in honor of Windows Vista, and the second part is in honor of the Avalon system code name. But director Kevin Smith decided to name his daughter Harley Quinn at all - that was the name of the girl from the comics about Batman.

By the way, not every owner likes such unusual names. Many children are embarrassed by this and look forward to coming of age to officially change their name. Little Pixie Geldof, who is the daughter of musician Bob Geldof, was very shy about the prefix "little" at the beginning of her name and chose to call herself simply Pixie in her adult life. But what a resident of New Zealand, whose name is Bus No. 16, will do with his name is even hard to imagine. The fantasies of his parents can only be envied.

After his appearance in this world, the little man receives a name. The name allows you to psychologically perceive yourself, your inner "I". Even in ancient times, the choice of a name was given great importance. It was believed that it determines the fate of a person.
Every culture has its own traditions. And with regard to names for children, each nation has its own customs and traditions. The name carries a charge, a core that complements the essence of its owner.

In the UK, women's names are not eccentric. The British follow traditions, therefore, when choosing a name, they focus on euphony, traditionalism. The names of women often have Greek, French, Celtic, Anglo-Saxon roots.

English names are popular outside of English-speaking countries. Some names pass into other cultures in their original form, others are transformed, remade to fit the norms of another language. However, the semantic meaning of the name does not change.

English pretty names:

• Alice (Alice) - he is often chosen by parents for their princesses, means "noble, noble",
• Annabel (Annabel) - the meaning of the name "beloved", which is why parents often choose it,
• Arabella (Arabella) - the name has Latin roots, means "pray",

• Iris (Iris) - translated as "rainbow", besides, a flower with this name is very fond of the representatives of England,
• Matilda (Matilda) - means "powerful",
• Letice is a modified English version of the name Letitia, which translates as "joy",
• Zara (Zara) - a beautiful name has no less vivid meaning "princess, blossom."
