King! Empress! Diva! You probably thought that now we will talk about high-ranking persons, and the article is a report from a secular reception? No and no again! These are the titles of our pop artists.
Where is the Distribution Committee located? high titles? In which office are decrees and resolutions on their assignment signed? Probably, somewhere a large commission is sitting - about 15 people - no less. In front of them - long list. Leaning over him, people carefully choose the title, discuss for a long time whether the applicant is worthy of such a resounding title or whether it is worth waiting a little longer. Then they vote. Everything happens in a very democratic way – the voting is secret.
Nothing of the kind, of course, does not exist, and titles constantly appear. Resounding and pretentious, they announce their "masters" during concerts and any public appearances of stars. We agree with some - the artist deserved years of selfless service to the stage. Some cause laughter - the words "king" and "glamour" are really not combined!
One day very famous singer(by the way, also the owner of a sonorous title) told me a story about how another artist himself (!) chose his stage name. It was on tour, a concert in a small town, not spoiled by visits big stars passed with a bang. Tired, but very satisfied, everyone went to the hotel. On the steps of the recreation center they stopped and saw a poster. Large and very colorful, it listed all the names and surnames of the concert participants.
Then just beginners, they were pleased to see themselves next to the real aces of the stage, and there were already two ladies of respectable age in the participants. One of them, reading the names of the newcomers, caustically ridiculed their dissonance. Not only that, she decided to try on the role of an oracle and predicted both of them a complete failure and lack of a career.
Friends were upset, as usual, got drunk together and began to invent pseudonyms for themselves. Since that night, their native surnames were no longer written on the posters. They were adorned with new sonorous names, more similar court titles. Shahzode, that is, the Prince, has since been called my acquaintance. Soundly, beautifully and with a hint of belonging to a noble family.
Any person who is interested in the question of the origin of this kind of titles will easily find out that either the artists themselves or their producers come up with them. Jasmine - pleasant smelling humble spring Flower. Irina Allegrova chose her pseudonym herself. I just opened a dictionary musical terms and stopped at the first word that came to mind.
Diva. This word is clear even to those who are not strong in Italian. The first of the first, the best on stage! Without further comment, it is clear to whom and for what it was awarded. But Yaak Yola was awarded the nickname of the Kremlin nightingale, clearly wanting to prick more painfully. After all, he sang mainly in Russia and enjoyed great success.
Sometimes the singer's surname and first name are so difficult to pronounce that a new name is indispensable. So Thomas Anders appeared on the stage, who at birth received the name Berndt Weidung. Agree, this phrase is difficult to pronounce even on a sober head. But Celentano, nicknamed Molleddiato, that is, "On the springs", deservedly bears this title. Having already a fairly respectable age, he is rapidly moving around the stage - a real spring!
Kings and queens, emperors and empresses, dukes and duchesses - no one agrees to anything less. But it is worth remembering that the louder the nickname, the more complexes its owner has. Especially if he chose it for himself. Sometimes children's nicknames or derivatives of the surname act in this role. Close people call Leshchenko Leshch, and the great chansonnier Aznavour is actually Aznavuryan Shakhnur Vaginag. And in Trofim, too, there is no special secret, as you can see.
Here it is the secret of the emergence of nicknames and titles of our favorite artists. That is, there is no secret here! Everything, if you look closely, is simple and quite logical.
The article caused a heated discussion. Now let's look at the nicknames of rappers.
The modern rap industry is based not so much on new talent as on the ability to charm and discourage the audience. Rappers try to attract attention not only with their songs, but also with funny nicknames, which usually do not always make sense, but are liked by their fans.

Choosing a name is a very responsible matter. Even the most ordinary people approach this issue with enthusiasm, flipping through lists of name meanings and advice on the signs of the Zodiac, remember what a hero grandfather was or what a beauty grandmother was known for. IN royal families everything is much more complicated. When choosing the name of the future monarch, all relatives in different lines were taken into account. Astrologers made horoscopes, astrologers were determined by the stars. Often the child received the name of previous kings - according to tradition - which was assigned serial number(to avoid confusion). Or it consisted of the names of a good half of the ancestors. And all these efforts went to waste as soon as the child became king. And all because good people immediately gave the king his nickname - depending on the appearance, the actions of the monarch during the reign, his habits, even mental abilities. And not always harmonious or beautiful. This is exactly what happened to two kings whose birthday is today - Louis VI the Fat and Charles VI the Mad. But parents chose ...
The birth of a nickname
The nickname of the king could be born in the palace corridors and on city streets. A truly folk creation, it could have arisen overnight, or it could have been chosen from a dozen others, describing the qualities of the king or his appearance. Of all the nicknames of the king, one was usually left, which remained in history as official. Most likely there was not a single ruler without a nickname, just not all of them have come down to us, although they could very likely be bright and original. Be that as it may, they could all be divided according to several principles.
Appearance principle
The easiest way to earn a nickname from the people is to have something special in appearance. The first and most simple is to play with the appearance of the ruler.
- This is how they got their prefixes to official names:
- Louis VI the Fat - it's clear why,
- Frederick I Barbarossa - for a chic red beard,
- Philip IV Beautiful - apparently, for beauty by those standards,
- Louis Philippe d'Orleans, the Pear King - the shape of the face has been the subject of many caricatures, not only because of the resemblance to a pear, the fact is that the French word la poire can mean both fruit and stupidity ...
Pro Louis XIV- Almost everyone knows the Sun King, and there were also Harold I hare paw, Sven I Forkbeard, Richard III the Hunchback, William II Rufus (Red), Edward I Longshanks (Long-legged) and ... Viking King Harald II Blue Tooth. It may be true that he had blue teeth, but, most likely, bluetooth this is a distorted scandinavian Bletand(black-haired). Harald was not a typical Norwegian - he had brown eyes and black hair.
King's Hobbies
Often the reason for assigning a nickname was what the monarch did most of all and his personal passions. William the Conqueror - fought, Enrique the Navigator - sailed the seas, Henry I the Fowler - caught birds when he received the news that he had become king.
But the first place in terms of originality of the nickname is shared by the King of France Henry IV and the Romanian King Carol II. For his demeanor, Henry of Navarre received the nickname Gallant Vimes. King II was known as playboy king for their romantic adventures. He was married three times, the number of his girlfriends is legendary. In the end, the Romanian king completely abdicated and fled the country with ordinary girl leaving a Greek princess for her.
Personal qualities and generalizations
Nicknames received due to personal qualities have preserved for us the true face of their bearers. Bold warriors like Charles the Bold of Burgundy, Philip the Brave of Burgundy and Richard Lion Heart English or failed during the years of his reign as the English king John the Landless, who lost almost all the French territories of the Plantagenets in wars.
Character traits could also become the nickname of the king - bad or good: Pedro the Cruel Portuguese or Alfonso the Meek Aragonese, Pedro the Ceremonial Aragonese or Charles the Mad French. The piety in the behavior of the monarch was especially noted: Louis the Pious of France, Saint Stephen of Hungary, Louis of Saint France. Far-sighted rulers were called Wise: Sancho the Wise of Navarre, Charles the Wise of France, Alfonso the Wise of Castile.
Lionheart and Humpty Dumpty
Humpty Dumpty actually the real nickname of the English King Richard III, and not just a character famous poem. The history is also true. He was not loved for his ugliness, but the nickname was born after a battle in which his legs were cut off and none of the troops could come to his aid.
There were common nicknames - a whole series of Great, Just, Evil and Good kings: Charlemagne, Knut the Great, John the Good of France, Philip the Good of Burgundy, Karl the Evil of Navarre and others. The nickname was even given to a whole royal dynasty - the Lazy Kings (Merovingians), because they never cut their hair.
Russian rulers
Our princes and kings also did not do without nicknames, deserved by them for one reason or another.
Prince Kievsky Svyatoslav the enemies called Bars. More than once he came out victorious, having a much smaller number of troops ...
Son of Svyatoslav Kyiv Prince Vladimir earned two nicknames - Saint and Red Sun. He baptized pagan Rus', was able to unite other princes.
Wise nicknamed Prince Yaroslav. Through dynastic marriages, he strengthened ties with European countries and founded a number of new cities.
The founder of Moscow, Prince Yuri Vladimirovich, received the nickname Dolgoruky not only for disproportionate Long hands, but also for the love of annexing the lands of weaker rulers.
Tsar Ivan IV of Moscow was called the Terrible for ferocity, and Peter I became the Great for
many great and glorious deeds.
The nicknames of the kings were given according to merit. So Alexander I officially received the prefix Blessed from the Synod in 1814, Alexander II was called the Liberator, for the abolition of serfdom, and Alexander III was called the Peacemaker, for the fact that under him Russia did not wage wars.
