Hello dear readers! As I said, any methods and forms are suitable for learning a language. Today, American names and surnames have come into our field of vision. After all, from the point of view of linguistics, these are also just words. And you can replenish your vocabulary, including remembering English surnames and names. Moreover, in this way you will train pronunciation, and learn to perceive English by ear. names and surnames in English It is better to start with the most popular American names. For example, on the basis of the most common or the names of popular actors and actresses. At the same time, learning these words is much easier than regular vocabulary, for several reasons:
- Easy to find in text as they are capitalized
- In oral speech, they are pronounced with a different intonation than other words.
- Don't need to translate
- Pronunciation is not so difficult, especially if these are the initials of famous personalities, then they are always heard
But sometimes the pronunciation is different from the spelling. As a rule, in such rare words, the pronunciation depends on the genesis.
Origin of American given names and surnames
American surnames (given name) and first names (name) today can have many sources of origin.
Names, for example, are most often borrowed from other languages:
- Celtic - Airic, Dylan, Ryan
- Arabic - Omar, Sarah, Jamal
- Germanic - Arnold, Ebrina, Herwin
- Aramaic - Joseph, Bethany, Simon
- Jewish - Adam, Rose, Samuel
- Greek - Andrew, Selina, Christopher
- Indian - Dilip, Alicia, Beryl
- Italian - Alonzo, Mia, Gabriel
- Slavic - Ivan, Anna, Boris
- Latin - Patrick, Veronika, Cordelia
- Turkish - Akay, Ayla, Nourhan
- Old English - Loyd, Lindsay, Jason
- Phoenician - Al, Esther, Hannibal
- Scandinavian - Eric, Helga, Sveinbjorn
- Persian - Jaspen, Roxy, Xerxes
- Spanish - Federico, Dolores, Elvis
These are the beautiful words they call children in the USA.
But the genesis of surnames depends on several other factors:
- Occupation or Profession: Cheeseman, Proper, Smith
- Personal names: Atkins, Williamson, Hughes
- Location: Green, Garden, Wood
- Nicknames: Cruikshank, Makepeace, King
You should also know that in English, unlike Russians, the first name and patronymic are always written first, and then the surname: Elvis Aaron Presley. By the way, the patronymic may either not be called at all or denoted by one letter.
The easiest way to learn the name of your favorite actresses or actors. Therefore, memorize the male and female initials of famous people.

The data is constantly changing, the first place alternately moves from one name to another, but in general the situation does not change much.

The famous Russian linguist A.F. Zhuravlev, Doctor of Philology, Head of the Department of Etymology and Onomastics of the Institute of the Russian Language named after A.F. V. V. Vinogradov, Russian Academy of Sciences (Moscow).
A.F. Zhuravlev involved in the calculation telephone directories of several cities in Russia and other former Soviet territories, library catalogs, personal lists of institutions that turned out to be available, lists of applicants from some Moscow universities, arrays of onomastic (family) material of various nature on the Internet, etc. However, the surveyed the territory is not clearly outlined by him, the list of cities whose telephone directories were used is not completely given (among those named by A.F. Zhuravlev are Moscow, Ryazan, Vladimir, Krasnoyarsk., in Ukraine - Big Yalta). The principles for selecting cities are not sufficiently substantiated. The very nature of the extraction of the material is also debatable. A.F. Zhuravlev himself admits that he cannot “somewhat accurately estimate the total volume of onomastic units that fell into the field of view, and, consequently, the proportion of those surnames in it that were included in the final list.
From the current flow of surnames, only those that fell into the preliminary 800-unit list (further shortened to 500 surnames with the most reliable statistics) were selected. The very same list of 800 units (i.e., surnames) was compiled intuitively. All this reduces the significance of the results obtained, but nevertheless the list of the 500 most frequent Russian surnames is interesting. The number of all carriers of the first 500 most frequent Russian surnames recorded according to various sources is several hundred thousand. Obviously, this list will still be refined, because, according to A.F. Zhuravlev himself, the given statistics “can be recognized as having only the most preliminary character, but in any case better than the Unbegaun table” (meaning the appendix to the book "Russian surnames" with a list of the most frequent surnames of St. Petersburg in 1910).
I decided to bring these 500 names to familiarize site visitors with them. Two graphs with data for comparison according to the statistics of the same surnames in St. Petersburg in 1910 were excluded from the material of A.F. Zhuravlev (they were taken from the work of B.O. Unbegaun). In the final table, to the right of the surname, there is a number showing the relative occurrence of the surname. It is obtained by assigning the total absolute frequency of a given surname to the total absolute frequency of the most common surname Ivanov among Russians.
So, the list compiled by A.F. Zhuravlev. During the preparation for posting on the site, it turned out that there are three more surnames in it (they are given without a serial number). Use your browser's search function to find the name you need.

No wonder there is a saying “not in the eyebrow, but in the eye” - people have always hung labels very accurately.

Foreigners believe that a beautiful surname helps the family, brings good luck and happiness. But, it’s true, a person with or a family nickname has been teased by peers since childhood, and later he grows up insecure with a whole baggage of complexes. So it turns out that the family name brought bad luck. For people with a beautiful ancestral heritage, things are different. Boys and girls know from childhood that they can do everything in this world, so they walk with their heads held high.
Each country has its own beautiful surnames, which are unusual for the Russian ear. But the origin of family designations is the same all over the world. Someone took the name of their city, and someone took the nickname of the founder of the family, the occupation of the family, belonging to the status. Among foreign surnames, one can also often find the names of plants, birds, animals.

All variants of French surnames are endowed with special beauty and charm. This language is very different from other European counterparts. If it is always pronounced correctly, then French is pronounced differently. For example, the popular Le Pen may sound like "Le Pen", "Le Pen", "De Le Pen". The first French family names were bestowed on the highest circle of the nobility in the 11th century. And only in the 16th century, by royal decree, was it ordered to give every citizen of France a hereditary nickname.
Since then, French surnames have been included in church records from generation to generation. The most beautiful family nicknames in France come from proper names, from the occupation of the clan or from the geographical names in which the family was born. French male family names are widespread:

- Francois
German

The whole process of forming hereditary nicknames took about 8 centuries, and the first surnames appeared on the basis of proper names. Vivid examples are German male generic nicknames:
- Werner
- Hermann
- Jacobi
- Peters
Beautiful family designations in Germany appeared from the names of rivers, mountains and other words associated with nature: Bern, Vogelweid. But the most popular generic names came from the occupations of their ancestors. For example, Muller in translation means "miller", and Schmidt - "blacksmith". Rare ones sound beautiful: Wagner, Zimmerman. Women in Germany, as a rule, leave their mother's surname, and the most beautiful are:
- Lehmann
- Mayer
- Peters
- Fisher
- Weiss
