American female names
America is a multinational country. Its history has been created for centuries by people from different countries, and each nation brought its own nuances to the emerging culture of the new state. The Scots and Germans, the French, the British and the Swedes intricately intertwined elements of their national traditions into a young America.
The same can be said about the history of the emergence of American names, where old Anglo-Saxon and English peacefully coexist with new names - this is determined by the historical past of the country, which was once a colony of Great Britain. But let's not forget that most the first American settlers were poor people of a simple class, often fugitive criminals. They brought to this earth a shortened form of names, namely derivative personal names that took root well in America and sounded like Ben, Ellie, Ed, Mel, Lina, Dan, Meg, Tina. In addition, many American names come from Celtic, Greek, Hebrew, Slavic and Latin roots. At dawn American history children were often given biblical canonical names - so the girls were called Ruth, Abigail, Ann, but life made its own adjustments and other names became more popular.
Binomial names popular in America consist of personal (first name) and middle (middle name) names, and there can be several middle names (in this capacity, not only personal names are used, but also common nouns, and even geographical names - Dakota, Denver, Sherwood , Nevada, Sahara, Chelsea). Perhaps the main purpose of the middle name is the desire to emphasize the individuality of a person whose personal name and surname are often common. Double names are especially popular in the American South. Mary Kate, Maria Cecilia, Bill Henry, John Richard, Diana Casey - the combinations of names are endless and depend only on the imagination of the parents.
Female American names are beautiful and ambiguous. Many of them are filled with romance and poetry - they soar above fate, wrapping the image of a woman in a wonderful veil. Listen to their sound and feel it deep meaning:
Alana is beautiful;
Goldie - gold;
Sally is a princess;
Hilary - joyful;
Lassie - beloved;
Jennis is blonde;
Roxy - dawn;
Miranda - admirable;
Helen - light;
Barcy is cute.
New American names include names filled with modern sense and the energy of our days:
Posh - fashionable;
Ricky - sports;
Kelly is blonde.
Many names are historical meaning, recalling America's colonial past:
Britney is little Britain;
Heather - heather;
Chelsea - port;
Kimberley is the city's royal meadow.
Nowadays in America it is fashionable to name children after movie stars and pop stars - thanks to this trend, popular female names became Pamela, Hailey, Jessica, Britney, Angelina, Charlotte, Marilyn.
An interesting American tradition is to tie a child's name to the symbol of the state in which he was born. So, a girl born in North Carolina, for this very reason, can be called Daisy (daisy), in Iowa - Rose, and Jasmine - in South Carolina. In addition, the multinationality of the country leaves its mark on the names of its inhabitants - there are often names painted with color different cultures. The Irish name Maura and the German Martha, the French Vivien and the Spanish Dolores, the Italian Gemma and the English Hailey have long become familiar and deeply American here.
Perhaps it is thanks to this kaleidoscope of languages and cultures that there are so many beautiful female names in America - after all, each of the nations living here has given this country the best and sonorous names.
