A very nice name for a boy. Rare male names

"What's in a name?" the poet asked an unknown interlocutor. Over the same question, but in a broader sense, humanity has been struggling for centuries, but the names are in no hurry to reveal all their secrets. Even notorious materialists and skeptics do not choose the first names that come across for their children, thereby recognizing that the name becomes the hallmark of a person in society, a part of himself. Many people are sure that an individual name not only contains information about its owner, but is also able to participate in the formation of its character, influence later life. In this regard, the famous phrase is often recalled: “Whatever you call a yacht, so it will float.” What can we say about a man - a living being and connected with the universe by thousands of threads!

Personal names are the object of study of anthroponymy - a branch of the science of onomastics. Within its framework, researchers study their origin, evolutionary development, laws and features of functioning. Each name, whether it is originally Slavic or borrowed from other languages, for example, Greek and Jewish, has its own history, its own meaning. The original meaning of many names was lost in the thickness of the centuries, erased, no longer taken literally. In addition, not all people are interested in the meaning of their name, thereby missing the opportunity to learn more about themselves and their life prospects. Meanwhile, the research of modern anthroponyms is aimed at compiling psychological portrait typical representative of one name or another, because even earlier it was discovered that the same named people have much in common in character, fate and even appearance.

Of course, one should not exaggerate the role of the name in shaping the personality, but nevertheless it deserves the most close attention. The choice of a name for a child should be conscious, thoughtful, taking into account various factors. In the life of an adult, a name change is also possible, so the information presented on our website is useful not only for those who are looking for a name for a new born boy or girls. For people who are not going to change their second “I”, a closer acquaintance with the meaning of names can also bring a lot of benefits - in particular, suggest directions for working on themselves, on compatibility with others and fruitful interaction with them.

In this section of our site you can find not only the meanings of names, but also a variety of related information, for example, about name days, lucky days, useful practical tips, excursions into history and much more.

What is the most an important event in anyone's life? If you think about it, the answers will always be the same. After all, there is no greater joy than to realize that you gave new life. The child ideally becomes the fruit of love and mutual tenderness. But great happiness comes with a number of questions. For example, what name to give the child? After all, I want it to be happy, so that the child likes it. Surely everyone would like to have original name. And what are the most beautiful and rare male names?

Importance of Choice

It is believed that the name can influence the fate of a person, his character and personal life. His person hears most often, and his impact on the inner "I" is important. Do you like your name? Would you like to change it? By the way, there is such an opportunity, but upon reaching a certain age. There are soft and gentle names, and there are hard and hard ones. You need to choose a name wisely so that it is pronounced clearly, consonant with the patronymic and surname. In adulthood a person will be treated with respect if he himself likes to hear such an appeal.

When choosing, a number of factors are taken into account: from the season to the severity of the character. summer born children are active and playful, like a June afternoon. And those born in winter and autumn are more realistic, distrustful and smart. So it turns out that choosing a name for a child is very difficult. To help parents, relevant directories and name popularity tables are issued.

Rare stupidity

What would you name your child anyway? Can you guess? Some parents experience a strong rampant fantasy and "dig out" unusual rare male names from the bins of memory. I wonder if the children will be grateful for such originality ?! Last year, among newborns, there were often names with a reference to religious prophets. For example, Buddha-Alexander, Master, Angel, Prince and Peace. And someone decided not to worry about the name at all and give a double - Sasha-Alexander. Among the girls, there are also enough unusual names: Alena-Flower, Delphine, Fox, Russia or the Sun. Rare male names Genghis, John, Spartak have become fashionable over the past five years, and many parents, apparently, paid tribute to antiquity, naming their children Luchesars, Altais, Caesars or Hectors.
Cases were recorded in Russia when the boys were named Leonardo and Marcus Aurelius. But in our country, names are still chosen more or less acceptable, but abroad there are extremely strange examples. In one family, where the triplets were born, the names were given after the rooms in the house. These are the stupid things that are happening in the world.

Attractiveness of a male name

And why think about the name, because its beauty is not the main criterion for a guy? Some families choose a name based on religious motives. For example, Muslims believe that male names should have a high meaning. Very rare families continue to choose symbolic names when the choice should be pleasing to Allah. Usually, in translation, such names are rather modest, not distinguished by pathos.

A striking example would be the name Abdullah. It translates as "Slave of Allah". This is the name for an obedient and pious man who follows all the laws of the Koran. Sometimes the child was named, taking care of him afterlife: they believed that he would be rewarded by his name, and if the child has an ugly name, then they will pity him and brighten up life after death.

In America, names with meaning are rarely given, so Native Americans hardly think about this issue. They usually choose short and capacious options that go well with the surname, but they don’t give a patronymic. Beautiful rare male names are used here only by visitors, and no prejudice arises. In this our country still lags behind others. Even despite the beauty, Russian people perceive rare male names with caution, shorten them or replace them with more familiar counterparts. Now modern medicine has stepped far forward, and it has become possible to find out the sex of the child in early pregnancy. Therefore, there is a solid supply of time to choose the rarest male name. Maybe you should stock up on special benefits in order to make a decision?!

What do the guides say?

Every year in Russia, statistics are compiled on the most chosen names. For example, in 2011, the name Maxim was named the most beautiful and popular. By the way, it is not of Russian origin at all, but boys are called that quite often. This is a name with a specific application for a leader position. Maxim grows up to be a reliable and calm guy, moderately cheerful and hard-working. He is a perfectionist at times, but rarely proves capable of the liberal arts.

Alexander, Andrey and Alexey are regularly included in the ratings of the most popular names. But they will not work if you are interested in rare male names. The list of Russian options is replenished infrequently. Will you meet Svyatogor or Ingvar now? No, the most common names are Byzantine, Greek and Arabic. Now Kuzma, Arkhip and Herman are not in fashion. They became archaic, just like Leo, Myron, Aristarchus. Let's try to put together rare male names.

List: Russian and foreign variants

In order for the child to like the name, it is necessary to choose it according to its euphony. For example, the combination of two roots in a word gives in total beautiful and sonorous rare male names: Yaropolk, Yaroslav, Svyatoslav. It is noticeable that the options are similar, they are easy to confuse, but they are majestic and courageous.

Abroad, by the way, the names are not always very different either. Among Muslims, you almost never meet the previously popular Abbas, Abdulmajid, Abdulvahid or Abudlhamid. Such guys grew up strong, strong and pious, which was especially appreciated in the old days.

Among the British recently, rare male names are Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, William, David. Once their carriers were a dime a dozen, but times are changing, and with them the tastes of people.

In Germany, rare male names are Lucas, Luka, Tim, Leon, Max or Jan. If you name your boy like that, then there is little chance of meeting a namesake.

Previously, in Georgia they were very fond of calling boys with the letter “A”, but now Amayak, Abig, Arsen, Artem or Argishti are rare male names. Modern children do not want to be named after their ancestors. Therefore, names with a cluster of consonants or difficult pronunciation are not particularly popular.

Tranquility and beauty

So how not to miscalculate with the most important choice in life for your child? Assemble a council of this issue Or make a decision randomly? In directories, you can select suitable male names. List rare variants supplement only when they are especially successful and remain relevant. The bulk of the same disappears in the past. For example, they have become a byword, but in reality there are no Armenian names Ashot, Bagram, Zurab or Vakhtang. French Alar, Jean and Jacques, Baptiste or Honore have not been used for a long time. In Italy, beautiful rare male names Enrico, Giovanni, Silvio and Vittorio belong to public figures or have become stage names.

There is a trend towards acceptance Russian performers pseudonyms American descent. For example, one of the rappers is called Dominic, and the hero of the youth series is called Michael. Choosing a name at a conscious age is very different from how this process goes at birth. Parents have hundreds of options, and the opinion of the child is not to be expected. Often parents look for beautiful male names (Russian) in books. Rare families remember their roots and name their children after their great-grandfathers. Calling a child a proven and old name is somewhat beneficial, because it is clear that the meaning cannot be negative, otherwise the name would have long gone out of use. When choosing exotics, you have to delve into reference books. Suddenly the chosen option has a terrible meaning? Will the child be grateful for this?

Rare, but apt

If the parents showed imagination and named the child in a way that others had not thought of before, then the boy's life will be bright. He is unlikely to have a person with the same name in his environment. But the name should be harmonious, because there was a time when it was believed that terrible names protect children from evil spirits. Now beautiful is gradually returning to fashion, but forgotten name Renat. The male name Demid remains very peculiar, but very beautiful. Also interesting options are Rafil and Albert. Do you want to give your child a blessed and clear name? Then maybe Svetozar or Nazarius will suit you. With a short and capacious surname will not be combined long names, such as Innocent, Christopher, or Cornelius. But even in Russia it will be relevant and fashionable beautiful name Christian.

Specific Choice

Even the most original name can be digestible if you find an interesting abbreviation for it. It is unlikely that parents will give a name to their child in the hope that he will replace it with a nickname. The abbreviated version is not a nickname, but a convenient pronunciation. With such an attitude, the archaic but noble names Kondrat, Bronislav, Lavrenty, Veniamin or Vissarion can get a second life. When choosing, you should not pay attention to options with a pronounced national flavor. For example, the most beautiful name Suleiman can only harmonize with the corresponding surname. Exactly the same problems will arise with the names Odysseus, Vivien, Vakhtang or Stefan.

Message in meaning

Parents always believe that their child will become more serious, successful and significant than they are. For this, they spare neither effort nor money. The first serious step, which depends on the parents, is the choice of a name. What do you want from your child? To be kind and bright? Then it makes sense to understand the "solar" names, such as Helian or Helium, or maybe May. Peacefulness gives the child the name Damir. Innocent embodies innocence and purity of soul, Luxen brings light, and Illarion - joy. A boy named Milad will be cute and well-behaved, and Miron will amaze with his kindness. A cute child can also be called Mily. Those who want to express their attitude towards the baby can use the Radim (“native”) option.

Strength and courage

A number of names are intended to emphasize vitality the owner and his masculinity. Do you want your son to be courageous? Give him nice and ancient name Arseny. Or maybe Leonard to be strong?

The names Ovid (“savior”), Staliy (“solid”), Nikifor (“bringing victory”) or Miroslav (“winner”) remain very pretentious. Such a peaceful and pleasant-sounding name Leonid characterizes the boy as “the son of a lion”, and the name Marsen, which is quite rare now, means “warrior”.

With God in my heart

There has already been talk about religious names, but modern parents do not want to focus only on the divinity of the name. Let beauty and kindness be combined in one word. For example, Yang is the "god of the sun". Such a boy will grow up confident, responsible and kind. Good character Matvey will have it, it’s not for nothing that he is “God’s man”. And Benedict is completely “blessed”. By no means rare, but very original are the names Oscar ("God's spear"), Bogdan ("given by God"). The name "Jacob" seems to many to carry elements of blasphemy, because it means "imitating God."

For the mighty of this world

For any parent, his child is the best and most worthy. Are you afraid to develop pride in your son? Then choose among the royal names. They are beautiful and symbolic. A boy with that name will not become a subordinate or eternal second place. It aims only at the first places. Velimir will become the "ruler of the world", and Aristarchus will strive to become "the head of the best." Yeruslan is a potential "lion" who has won back his possessions. Voldemar will become the “famous ruler”, but Vitold is closer to nature, and he feels like “the head of the forest”.

Last step

So, how do you make a decision if the choice is dizzying? First, it is necessary to take into account all the facts, wishes and intentions. Secondly, you need to know the meaning of the chosen names. And, thirdly, even the most perfect name may be irrelevant after the first glance at your child. After all, he is the most important critic and interested person. The first impression of him will indicate all the pros and cons of the chosen names. If you find it awkward to give your baby a rare or outdated name, then listen to your inner voice and give up on this one. Let better name will be consonant with the surname, capacious and beautiful. Many people stop at simpler options, realizing that names such as Volodar or Epifan only strain their ears and cause rejection. It is important not to overdo it in search of the exotic, otherwise the child may find the only way out - to change the name upon reaching the age when this action is allowed.

• Harmonization with surname and patronymic. An ornate name with a simple surname and patronymic sounds ridiculous. As well as most ordinary, modest names, coupled with unusual or foreign surnames.
• Some people believe that if the letter “p” is missing in the patronymic of the baby, then it must be in the name without fail, otherwise the child will grow up too mild-mannered.
