Beautiful rare male names list. Beautiful, modern, Russian male names

Often in a family where a male baby is expected to be born, one of the most difficult problems is choosing a name. Now they choose names for boys with a slightly “foreign” sound, and traditional Russian ones. But in any case, the choice should be balanced, depending on many criteria.

The most important

In pursuit of the best or most beautiful of names, it is important not to miss the main thing:

• When choosing a name for a boy who will continue the clan and protect the family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis of a good sonorous patronymic for grandchildren.
• Rare, strange, funny, meaningless names of boys are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of your favorite series can become an object of ridicule for a child at school and kindergarten.
• Psychologists do not recommend naming a child after the father. In addition to domestic inconvenience with a coincidence, this may be the cause of nervous breakdowns of the future heir.

In honor of relatives

A peculiar tradition of naming a boy as a sign of respect, gratitude, love for someone is an interesting idea. But will the owner of the name like it in the future? Here are examples of whom male children are often named after:

• Relative. It can be a dear grandfather, uncle, beloved godfather of one of the parents. Why not? The child will be the darling of a beloved relative, an object of care and protection.
• Deceased relative. Not the best idea for superstitious parents. So it was customary among the people that the newborn in this case, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and fate of the deceased.

A child can be named in honor of a man - an obstetrician who safely delivered, or any other person who once gave a helping hand, who played a crucial role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, negotiated by both the father and the mother.

Seasons

The time of the year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Consider the names of boys born in different seasons:

• Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary for a kind of compensation for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
• Spring. Harder-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. So that the unborn child is always confident in himself, he can be called Oscar, Boris, Timur, Victor, Gleb.
• Summer. Active, proud, summer men love risk and freedom. Short, courageous ones are suitable for these people: Gleb, Roman, Denis, Anton, Mark.
• Autumn. Balanced realists born in autumn trust few people. Smart and calm boys of this season need sonorous names that claim attention: Nikolai, Sergey, Peter, Felix, Herman, Cyril.

Surname and patronymic

Parents sorting out names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the patronymic and surname of the child. Consonants play an important role. It can be predominant voiced or deaf consonants. The name must contain the same consonant sounds as in the patronymic or surname. For example, Ivanov Matvey Semenovich (the predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (solid consonants).

This combination is considered pleasant for hearing and pronunciation, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many people think that short boy names are more suitable for long surnames and vice versa.

It's fashionable

Naming a boy in a fashionable way is the choice of many modern parents who keep up with the times. Each new year is rich in an abundance of popular male names.

What are relevant in the mid-2010s?

• Benedict,
• Arthur,
• Adam,
• Hermann,
• Walter,
• David,
• Ignat,
• Rudolf,
• Plato,
• Taras.

Fashionable ones are often outdated, long forgotten, for example, Khariton, Clement, Zakhar. In an effort to pay tribute to fashion, it is important not to overdo it and not call the boy too funny, complicated or strange.

According to the church calendar

A little time has passed since then, when all children were named according to the name day in the church calendar. Such a calendar prompted parents for male names for a newborn. To this day, it is believed that a boy named according to the calendar will have good health, a successful job and a happy family. Unfortunately, such a calendar has a limited number of names that modern spouses might like.

According to value

Each name, translated from various ancient languages, has a special characteristic, meaning. When choosing a name for a boy, parents often want to invest certain qualities in the future heir:

• Andrew is courageous.
• Boris is a fighting man.
• Leo - intelligence and foresight.
• Nikita is a winner. An excellent choice for a future athlete.
• The novel is a favorite of women.
• Peter - independence, conviction.
• Sergey is an ideal father and husband.
• Tikhon is a lucky man.
• Constantine - constancy.

Valery, Vitaly - those names that personify health and fortitude. Anton is a competitive person who struggles with difficulties. So it is advised to call weak or premature children so that the magic of the name gives the boys vitality and improves health.

Important Points

Names for boys can be beautiful, short, old, double, foreign.

But, among other things, when choosing, attention should be paid to such points:

• Nationality. Many families where the spouses are representatives of different nationalities experience difficulties in choosing how to name the child. Here it is important to think about it in advance, find a compromise and take into account the national identity of the future baby. This will avoid further marital disagreements and resentment.
• A diminutive form of the name. This form should not irritate, cause irony, be too difficult to pronounce.
• Place of residence. Prim, refined, rare names for boys are out of place in small villages with a predominance of traditional views on life. Marseille, Alfred, Antonio, Emmanuel will be more harmoniously perceived by the society of megacities.

When choosing a name, it is necessary not only to rely on its sound, but also to know exactly what it means, because it depends on the name which life path a person will follow.

Choosing a name for a baby is an extremely important and responsible matter, because the future character of the crumbs and even his fate largely depend on this. Names for boys are different, and which one is right for your baby, we will try to figure it out together.

Scientists have long established that with the help of a name, negative character traits can be corrected, or, conversely, they can be aggravated. By naming the baby incorrectly, you can direct his life according to a tragic scenario. How to avoid all these mistakes and make the right and informed choice - read the article.

There are many theories about exactly how the name and destiny of a person are connected, how a name can influence life. I bring to your attention the most interesting and noteworthy.

• Theory of public opinion.

We all live in society, surrounded by people who have thoughts and opinions about anything. These opinions tend to change depending on the country, social group and even time.

Hearing the name of a person, society is able to endow him with certain character traits in advance, as well as form an opinion about him in advance. If a person is constantly credited with certain qualities throughout his life, they become really inherent in him, whether he wants it or not.

For example, to a boy named Nero (the Roman emperor, known for his atrocities) or Adolf (everyone understands who the association is with, isn't it), the attitude of people will be obviously wary, cautious and even hostile. And to a boy named Vanya - good-natured and disposed, as to a positive hero of folk tales. Turning to Isaac, people will assume Jewish origin in advance, and will obviously treat the child based on their prejudices.

• Theory of emotions and sound.

The child hears his name from birth several times a day. As he grows older, he will hear it more and more often. Each name is a set of certain sounds of different timbre and height.

All sounds affect the human brain in different ways, causing certain emotions. Some sound melodious and harmonious, contributing to the formation of a calm and gentle character, for example, Nikolai, Alexei, Mikhail.

Others, on the contrary, seem to be drumming on the brain: Dmitry, Robert, Taras. This is a prerequisite for the formation of a tough character and unshakable self-confidence.

Thus, each name is able to influence the fate of the child, forming in him certain qualities of character.

How to choose a name

Of course, there are no and cannot be universal recommendations on what name to give the baby. However, there are universal rules that can be followed to narrow down your choice among a thousand names, and in the end make the only right decision.

• Rule number 1. The name must be combined with the surname and patronymic of the child.

A person will hear such combinations throughout his life quite often: in kindergarten and school, it is customary to address pupils by their first and last names. And in adulthood, at work, a person most often hears how he is called by name and patronymic.

Thus, these combinations should be pronounced without difficulty and not cause difficulties for the speaker. Otherwise, the child will constantly strain internally in anticipation that his name will be distorted once again.

What are the difficulties in pronunciation:

1. set of consonants at the junction of first name-surname, first name-patronymic. For example, an unsuccessful combination of Kanziberg Grigory or Alexander Dmitrievich, Kanziberg Oleg or Anton Dmitrievich sounds more successful.
2. too long combinations, for example, unsuccessfully Zagrebelny Innokenty Alexandrovich, Zagrebelny Ivan Alexandrovich sounds good.

• Rule number 2. The name must be combined with the nationality of the child and his citizenship.

The name should not be dissonant with the surname and patronymic on the basis of nationality and belonging to a particular country. So, Ivanov Tamerlane, Vasilyev Teimuraz or Smirnov John, Popov Daniel sounds very strange.

• Rule number 3. The name should have diminutive options.

Lulling a little baby in my arms, I want to call him, for example, Lyovushka, and not Leo, Sashenka, and not Alexander, Dimochka, and not Dmitry.

And this is natural, throughout life it helps us to convey the whole range of emotions in communication with a person.

How not to name a boy

• Bad idea number 1. Name after a relative who died a violent death or with a difficult fate.

No matter how good your intentions are, no matter how good and worthy the deceased person is, and no matter how skeptical you are, pay attention to the following.

Scientists have noticed a pattern according to which, children named after relatives who died tragically often have an unfortunate fate and difficulty in defining themselves in life.

How to explain this phenomenon - psycho-emotional connections, generic energy or mysticism - everyone decides for himself. You may not believe in such matters, but is it worth risking the baby's future when there are so many other beautiful names to choose from?

• Bad idea #2. Called a creepy original, but weird and hard to pronounce name.

It seems to you that it is fresh and unusual, but a child with his own name to live: go to the children's team, build a career and personal life. I'm not sure that in the future a person with the name Appolinarius, Evgrafiy, Dormedont, Callistratus, Polycarpius, etc. will thank you.

In kindergarten and school, children with such names always endure ridicule, withdraw into themselves, become embittered and unsociable. For what crumbs such tests out of the blue?

• Bad Idea #3: Name after a historical event or political figure.

We all know such male names as Vladilen (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Kim (Communist Youth International), Lyublen (Love Lenin), Stalen (Stalin, Lenin). At the time of the revolution, they seemed trendy and relevant.

However, time has passed, ideals have changed, famous historical events and personalities are condemned, and everything is no longer so rosy, fun and easy. And people who were named in a certain way remain attached to the images of past years and events for their entire lives.

It is much easier when a person is responsible only for himself and his actions, than for some historical figures, to whose actions he has nothing to do, but is forced to associate with them.

Names for boys by month according to the church calendar

Believers know that each person does not come into this world by chance and is born in a particular month for a reason. The date of birth of a baby means a lot, in particular, a protector from above, a saint, a guardian angel who will protect him throughout his life is appointed by heaven.

Our ancestors did not invent anything superfluous, and when choosing a name for a newborn, they turned to the calendar - the church calendar with the names of saints.

Nowadays, the tradition of the holy calendar has been simplified, and it is quite acceptable to use the holy calendar by month, when several names of saints correspond to each month of the year at once, from which you can choose what you like.

The church calendar with Orthodox names for months according to the calendar is as follows.

Beautiful Russian names

Traditional Russian male names are associated with masculinity and firmness of character.

With such a name, the boy will certainly grow comfortably, and peers will easily remember the name of the baby. A beautiful Russian name goes well with Russian surnames and is not capable of causing unnecessary associations.

As a rule, Russian names for boys are of Greek or Roman origin, which is due to the historically early contacts of Ancient Rus' with Byzantium.

Popular modern names for boys

rare and beautiful

In recent years, there has been a particularly sharp tendency to choose an unusual, rare and beautiful name for a child. Young mothers want their baby to be exceptional and special from birth because of their name.

Let's take a closer look at unusual rare and beautiful names for boys.

Old Russian

Such names pose a certain danger to the baby, and we have already talked about it. Nowadays, old Russian names for boys sound too extravagant.

Children are cruel creatures, and a baby with an unusual name can be ridiculed and attacked by peers in kindergarten and school, which will make him withdrawn and unsociable.

Therefore, I urge you to think very carefully and weigh the pros and cons of giving the baby an old Russian colorful name in order to amuse your pride and show everyone that you have a fantasy. I am convinced that there are many other ways to show it, without making it difficult for the child to live.

Nevertheless, we will list the now popular Old Russian and Old Slavonic names for boys, and also analyze what they mean:

Bronislav - defending glory;

Vseslav - famous, famous;

Dobromil - kind, sweet;

Milorad - sweet, joyful;

Miroslav - glorifying the world;

Svyatopolk - at the head of the sacred army;

Yaropolk - at the head of the solar army;

Kuzma - organizes the world;

Thomas is a twin;

Foka - from the sea;

Lazarus - the one whom God helped;

Fedot - long-awaited;

Potap - from another country;

Nazar - dedicated to God;

Luke - light;

Laurel is the name of the tree.

Rules for choosing a name for the seasons

According to psychological theory, people born at the same time of the year have similar character traits, temperament and personality traits. In addition, such people have similar positive and negative qualities.

Knowing this, one can correct and strengthen weak points in the character, as well as mitigate and level the influence of undesirable strong properties.

For example, boys born in the summer are united by good nature and easy disposition. However, there is a downside: they are capricious, emotionally unstable and with a weak character. To add firmness and perseverance to the personality, it is recommended to call such babies with sonorous names, for example, Dmitry, German, Cyril. It is a bad idea to give the baby a gentle and soft name, such as Mikhail, Nikolai, Savely.

On the contrary, winter boys show an excess of stubbornness, rebelliousness and determination. To balance the character, it is reasonable to balance such qualities with a soft melodic name, such as Ilya, Elisha, Maxim. It will not work, and will only aggravate the situation if you call the winter baby Gregory, Victor, Peter.

Spring forms kind, calm and sympathetic, but soft-bodied and spineless boys. If nothing is done, these can grow into sissies and henpecked. Therefore, one cannot do without a hard and hard name, for example, Alexander, Boris. Leonid, Moses will not do at all.

Autumn pleases us with balanced harmonious personalities, so such a child can be called whatever you like, nothing needs to be corrected here.

For many patriarchal peoples, the family line was drawn from father to son, so the name of the child was one of the ways to show the uniqueness of both the boy and the family. Echoes of these traditions are heard in our language even today, when English, other European and Eastern, for example, Muslim male names come to the Russian name book.

Russian names for men include several large "blocks" - these are both Old Slavic and Orthodox (among which there are Jewish, Greek, and Latin ones). Among the names used, one can find Eastern, European, and even American ones.

For the men themselves, it is rarely of interest what their name means, fathers usually choose a name for a child, for a boy, based on personal preferences. And this means that a great responsibility in how to name a child falls on the mother - to choose the most beautiful name for her son and convince her husband that it is the right one for the heir.

Today, the name of the child can be chosen from a great variety of options - the list is huge. The most popular, for example, lead to the fact that four Nikitas or five Daniils turn out to be in one class at once. So it is better to respond not to fashion trends, but to your own feelings and knowledge.

It is important that the name of the child be beautiful, harmonious, combined with the patronymic and surname. You need to understand what kind of history the name has, what is its meaning. If this is important to you, then you need to consider both the astrological and numerological aspects of the word.

From the depths of centuries

From what to choose? Very many of the Russian names are Old Slavonic and Old Russian. They consist of two roots, and their meaning is often clear to us. Ancient Slavic names, as if from birth, give the child characteristics, the meanings of which are quite “transparent”.

Below is a list in which Old Slavonic male names are arranged alphabetically.

• Tikhomir is the one who brings silence and peace.
• Jaromir - the one who loves the world in all its cheerful manifestations (many Slavic peoples called the sun god Yarilo)

It can be seen that the ancient Slavic names were also included in the Orthodox calendar. This happened, for example, after their carriers were canonized as saints.

From Greeks to Slavs

Russian male names include Orthodox (Greek, Latin and Jewish) that came with Christianity. Many "Russian" names have foreign counterparts that have the same roots - Christian and Orthodox holy books. Among them you can see very popular, and very rare now, and the most "ordinary":

• Adam is human.
• Azat is freedom-loving, independent.
• Akaki - the one who does no evil.
• - defender of the people.
• - protecting.
• Alim is a scientist.
• Anatoly is a man from the East.
• Arkady is a shepherd.
• - a courageous person.
• - wrestler.
• Valentine is the owner of a strong vitality.
• Valery is healthy.
• Victor - winner (from "victoria" - victory).
• - noble.
• - the grace of God.
• - One of the warriors of the god of thunder.
• - sun-like.
• Konstantin - famous for his constancy.
• - one who looks like a lion.
• Luke is light.
• - happy in bliss.
• - divine gift.
• - godlike.
• - "collector" of peoples.
• - heroic.
• - one who is heard by God.
• - noble, noble
• - crowned.
• - respecting God.
• - God's gift.
• Julian is happy.
• Jacob - walking on the heels.

These are far from all Orthodox Russian names, a complete list of them can be found in the calendar. Ukrainian male names, like Russian ones, include both Orthodox from the holy calendar and borrowed foreign ones, which have completely taken root in the new soil.

At the same time, both Orthodox and European male names were transformed due to the peculiarities of the language, so it is not always possible to understand their original sound. There are also popular names from the holy calendar on Ukrainian soil, which are much less in demand in Russia.

These are, for example, Avilo, Auxentius, Agapius, Agapit, Agathonicus, Adrian, Alfiy, Bartholomew, Bonifatius, Vavilo, Vakula, Gavrilo, Gordius, Darius, Dorofiy, Zenon, Zinovy, Jerome, Kapiton, Carpo, Kupriyan, Lawrence, Larion, Miletius, Naum, Nikanor, Obram, Oleksiy, Omelyan, Paisius, Paramon, Savatiy, Simon, Titus, Trochim, Theodulus, Phocas, Yalisey.

Real international

Today, Russian names have absorbed beautiful names from different languages, the meaning of which we do not always understand. For example, Tatar words are borrowed due to the fact that Russia has the Republic of Tatarstan, and large Tatar communities live in the rest of the country. The most popular Tatar names are now used by other nations.

Here, for example, are the most beautiful Tatar names:

• Azamat is a hero.
• Ainur is the light of the moon.
• Amin is a faithful guardian.
• Bulat - steel.
• Vildan is a servant of the heavenly garden.
• Gazinur is a light warrior.
• Danis is a scientist.
• Zinur - luminous.
• Ilgiz - traveler, wanderer.
• Irek is free.
• Camille is perfect.
• Rais is the boss.
• Rustam is a hero from a legend.

It can be seen that the Tatar names also do not stand still, European Marat, Robert, Rafael and others have already joined them. As before, Tatar names to a large extent are traditional Islamic Adel, Ayvaz, Alfir, Amir, Bakhtiyar, Vakhit, Gabdulla, Daniyar, Jamal, Zarif, Ibrahim, Ilfar, Kabir, Latif, Mahmut, Muslim, Nigmatulla, Rifat, Sagit, Talgat, Farhad, Khairulla, Sharif.

Approximately according to the same principle as the Tatar ones, beautiful Jewish names are also distributed. Some of them came to the holy calendar from the Bible, but not all, and few know the meaning of these words:

• Ariel is the lion of god.
• Daniel - my judge - God.
• Omer is a sheaf of wheat.
• Uri is the light for me.
• Eitan is a strong man.
• Elazar - divine help.

Many Russian mothers are looking for the most beautiful name for their child. The closest attention is paid to American names: Alan, Brandon, James, Kevin, Cameron, Mason and others. But when choosing words that are rare and unusual for our country, you need to remember that the meaning may differ from the sound: for example, Cameron means “crooked-nosed”.

But such incidents are very, very rare, it is unlikely that anyone would want their son to be called somehow awkward. At the same time, English names today no longer sound pretentious and foreign - they are interesting and modern for our society.

Leon, Robert, Edgar will surprise few people, but other English names - Jack, Dylan, Logan, Ryan, Thomas, Alfie - to the ear of a Russian person, they still do not go very well with Russian patronymics and surnames. So, when choosing the most wonderful and unique name for your heir, remember: the child should be comfortable living with the name that you choose for him! Author: Olga Inozemtseva

Immediately after the expectant mother finds out the sex of the child, the question arises of what name to call him. The choice of male names is endless, each has its own charm. But how to guess which one will suit the future boy?

Many women know the names that they will call their children even in childhood. However, such a choice is considered not entirely correct - after all, at the time of choosing the name, the baby did not yet exist and did not take part. Now, when he is in his mother's stomach, feels all her sensations, knows all her thoughts, he has the right to take part in choosing the name that he will have to wear all his life. But it is known that each name has its own meaning, and it affects the life of the unborn child. Someone else's name, like someone else's dress, will not suit the baby and will make him suffer all his life.

How to choose a name for a boy

So you need to choose a name only together. The simplest and most pleasant option would be the following: the expectant mother sits back, takes out the entire list of male names that she likes, and begins to read it slowly and legibly. The kid will definitely let you know if he likes something. The message to mom will come in the form of a push. On which name there will be a push, then you can choose.

If the first attempt failed to interest the baby, then you can expand the list and continue to read it out. If the boy persists and remains silent, it will be possible to choose after his birth. Sometimes a single glance is enough for a mother to understand who lies in front of her.

The list below contains the most beautiful male names. Perhaps among them there is one that your boy will wear.
