The most beautiful fabulous names. Women's names by month

An innocent baby is born. His parents give him a name that will accompany him to the gravestone. According to scientists, a person hears his name approximately 1.5 million times in his life!

Mystery of the name

The ancients attached great importance to the name of a person. They believed that the character, inclinations, talents, health and further fate of the child directly depend on him. Therefore, sometimes children were given the strangest names imaginable: Oak, Eagle, Snake, Lubomir, Chaste, He who brings good news, Bright, Like a lion and many others.

Modern astrologers represent a whole science of meaning and their influence on karma. They argue that a name can be both a blessing and a curse.

The hidden influence of a person's name on fate is also confirmed by scientists, explaining that it consists of sounds of a certain height, which irritate significant parts of the brain, thus affecting both the bearer of the name and others. In addition, a certain color corresponds to the wavelength of sound vibrations, which means that the name is not black and white, but has a certain color, which also affects the character of its owner.

Unusual male names in the USSR

The strangest male names appeared during the Soviet era. In those years, ideology played a huge role, so patriotic parents abandoned the old philistine names. They marked their sons with neologisms born of the October Revolution, the successes of Soviet heroes, scientific discoveries, honorary professions: Potassium, Wolfram, Comrade, Median, Parovoz, Decembrist, Atheist, Tankman and others.

But the parents showed real creativity by inventing names as derivatives of slogans, revolutionary appeals, party leaders: Arvil (the army of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Vedlen (Lenin's great deeds), Kukutsapol (corn is the king of the fields), Vist (the historical power of labor is great), Villur (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin loved the Motherland), Papir (party pyramid), Vors (Voroshilov arrows) or Divide (Lenin's affairs are alive) and many others. The imagination of the people was inexhaustible!

Some of the strangest boy names even sound obscene. In modern people, they evoke interesting associations: Wil (Vladimir Ilya Lenin), Constipation (for order), Pervsovstrat (the first Soviet stratospheric balloon), Thief (Great Pofivstal (the winner of the Nazis, Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin).

These strange names in the USSR were proudly worn by children. Over time, the pathos of the era subsided, but new generations still remained marked by history, which was already embodied in the unusual and sonorous patronymics of the children of those who were called, say, Osdvar (a special Far Eastern army) and Roblen (born to be Lenin).

Unusual female names in the USSR

They were awarded with sonorous names in the style of the era and girls. They were proudly named: Omega, Drezina, Iskra, Tractorina, Stalin, Artak (artillery academy), Velira (great worker), Lagshmivara (Schmidt's camp in the Arctic), Gertrud Diner (child of a new era) or another version of Doner (daughter of a new era) , Krarmiya (Red Army), Lapanalda (Papanin camp on an ice floe), Raytiya (district printing house), Bestrazheva (Beria - guard of the revolution) and others.

Somehow inconvenient for the modern ear are the female names of the 20s of the USSR - Dazdrasmyga (long live the bond between the city and the countryside) or as a variant of Dazdraperma (long live the first of May) or Nixerha (Nikita Sergeevich Khrushchev).

I wonder how all these names sounded in a diminutive version?

There are many amazing male names in the world

The right choice of name

The vanity of parents can turn into serious problems for the child in life. A child can become an outcast among peers, resulting in all sorts of complexes, nervous breakdowns. All this imposes a great responsibility on parents who choose a name for their baby.

Psychologists advise:

Take into account the sound of the name along with the patronymic.

Do not give obligatory names to children: Count, Strongman, Beauty, etc.

Do not name children after their favorite characters. The name Harry Potter or Monster High is unlikely to appeal to an adult child.

It is undesirable to give children the names of historical figures. Such names as Napoleon or Pinochet may not be very loyally received by society.

Abroad, there is a linguistic name verification service. Specialists check that the planned name for the child sounds worthy in other languages ​​of the world.

Beautiful female names necessarily contain a certain mystery and mystery. They fill their owners with femininity, tenderness and wisdom.

Beautiful Russian names have different origins - Greek, Scandinavian, Slavic. This list can also include Catholic names, in which Russian parents are also interested. And although most of these names have an Orthodox counterpart, focused on sounding in Russian, this does not prevent European names from appearing on the lists of beautiful female names among young Russian women.

Most Russian female names, which are considered beautiful, are also the most popular. In modern times, both rare names and foreign ones are added to this list, some of which were originally given only to “their own” (Muslim women, for example, or Jewish women). By origin, they cannot be called Russian, but recently Russian girls have also been called such names (Maryam, Eileen, Nicole). New trends make some adjustments to the list of favorite names for girls, but in general it has remained unchanged for several years.

In Islam, the birth of a child is a sacred event, and Muslims are very responsible in choosing a name. Women's names among Muslims are designed to determine the main feature of a person. For example, Jamila means "beautiful" and Asia means "naughty".

A large number of Jewish women's names are related to the Bible. To this day, these names are still used by them. Names that came from the Yiddish language are considered to be the most beautiful Jewish names. An example is the rather widespread Reise (meaning "rose") and Liebe (translated as "beloved").

Recently, Israelis and other Jews also pick up their girls and just beautiful-sounding combinations. For this reason, quite unusual names appear that are not related to Jewish traditions. This is where the abbreviated name can take on its own: Esti can be a full-fledged name among Jews, while in Europe this is a common affectionate appeal to Esther.

Modern beautiful female names

Modern names are very diverse. These are not only traditional (most often religious), but also completely new, sometimes invented, sometimes well-forgotten old names. At the same time, it cannot be said that the preferences of Europeans will be identical to the tastes of Russians or Asians. Many peoples of different cultures, religious denominations and historical roots live in Russia, respectively, and there will be no consensus on which names for girls will be considered modern and beautiful at the same time.

There is a similar picture in Europe, in the USA, where various people live on a vast territory. And the list of beautiful female names of English women will be strikingly different from melodic Bulgarians or Swedes.

The most recognizable in the world can be called Italian female names ending with the endings "-a" and "-e". In modern Italy, the names Violetta and Lucretia are very common.

In Spain, officially female names can consist of two names and surnames, but in fact, girls are given as many names as their parents want. The most popular in this country today are Maria, Carmen and Camilla. Most Spanish names are associated with religion, just like the Germans, by the way.

Diminutive and abbreviated double names are growing in popularity in Germany today. For example, Kate or Anna-Maria. One of the modern beautiful German names is the name Mia, which appeared as an abbreviation for Maria, and began to be actively used in the last decades of the twentieth century. Since 2007, an increasing number of newborn German women have been called this name, it is considered beautiful and sonorous. A modern competitor in beauty - Hanna (analogous to the name Anna) - also fights for the love of German parents and is considered one of the most beautiful modern names in the world.

Beautiful Russian female names

Russian names enjoy a certain interest outside their country. Many short and affectionate addresses in their homeland have become full-fledged names abroad. Very "Russian", according to foreigners, the names Natasha, Tanya and Sasha now sound quite often with an American or Brazilian accent.

But in Russia itself, they currently prefer to adhere to centuries-old traditions - they take Christian or Slavic names, although there are fashion trends here too. Modern Russian female names include not only Orthodox, but also others - Catholic, Slavic, Roman. Although before the baptism of Rus', the people did not have full-fledged names, everyone managed with nicknames.

Old Russian names most often represented a description of the most striking feature of its owner, and they were given to the girl already when she became a teenager, or rather, for that time, suitable for future marriage. And they did not always become an ornament for a girl, sometimes it only emphasized her shortcomings or the order of birth. Now, of course, such names are not used at all, and preference is given to sonorous, beautiful Slavic names - Lyubava, Lada, Bogdana, Milena.

Modern beautiful Russian female names. The most widespread at present among Russian female names are Orthodox names. It is they who occupy the first lines of the popularity rating among Russian names, as well as the lines of the rating of beautiful female names. Anastasia, Ekaterina, Maria and Sophia firmly hold the top positions, but less common, and sometimes even forgotten over the past 50 years, names are also appearing - Angelina, Veronika, Varvara and others.

The greatest variety of beautiful Russian female names can be found in million-plus cities, where different cultures come into contact. It is here that the difference between an ultra-modern and a very old name is least noticeable: everything seems so new that sometimes you don’t understand whether this is a tribute to fashion or an already defined trend of returning to antiquity.

It is in big cities that a real foreign name can sound like “Russian”. The name Christina was used in Catholic Europe, and its Orthodox counterpart (Christina) is considered in Russia a relic of past centuries and is practically not found anywhere. Now he has a chance - the European counterpart, Christina, has begun to win Russian hearts. The name Alice is of German origin, and now it is already in the top 10 most popular and, apparently, the most beautiful names - after all, modern parents will not give their daughters an ugly and frightening name!

Russian names

The most beautiful female names

According to world statistics, Anna firmly holds the leading position in the number of girls, girls and women bearing this name. In recent years, the no less famous name Maria has been stepping on his heels, but so far she has not been able to move him off the pedestal. Based on this, two names - Anna and Maria - can be considered the most beautiful modern female names on the entire planet.

But do not think that now every second girl will be called that way. Various countries around the world have their own list of the most beautiful female names, most of which are very popular for their own country, although they are not always of "native" origin. So, English female names have become very popular among Russians. The list of the most popular British names includes the names of Elizabeth, Anya, Louise. Slavic names in the last century were quite popular in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and since the late 80s of the last century they have gained popularity in Russia.

In Greece, women's names were chosen to protect their owner from troubles and troubles. The Greeks invented more and more new female names. Such names as Aphrodite, Aurora, Barbara came to our country from Greece.

The French give the girls several names. But this combination is fully used only in official documents, and in life French women use only one of them. According to tradition, French girls are named after their maternal and paternal grandmothers (for the first daughter), the second child is already named after the mothers. At present, this tradition is rarely followed - in France, “non-French” names (more often English, American) are in fashion. Short ones, formed from full ones - Theo, Loic, Sasha, Natasha, are also very popular and loved among the French. The spelling of French female names has changed - the ending “-a” has been added (Eva instead of Eve, Celia instead of Celie), but no changes have appeared in Russian pronunciation. It is these names that are currently considered the most beautiful in France.

In France, now you can often find beautiful female Muslim names, but still more among Arabic-speaking residents. Borrowed foreign names are very popular in this country, which are still perceived as “foreign” among the French - Karla, Axel, Lea, Lola.

It is quite difficult to trace the trend of popularity in American names. They are very different in the US. There are even girls named after some events or the area where they were born. American names are also mostly biblical in origin. Americans have very independent tastes depending on the state, but several of the names in the table below are considered attractive female names for American women in almost any state.

Among the beautiful Japanese female names, new ones began to appear, sounding similar to European ones, but which are written in hieroglyphs and do not deviate from Japanese traditions. They came to be considered beautiful not only from the point of view of Europeans, but also from the point of view of the Japanese. Favorite names for Japanese women are not identical to Chinese ones, and are far from the preferences of American or English girls.

Beautiful female Russian and foreign names

Beautiful rare female names

Many parents today strive to give a rare name to their daughter, because this is one of the modern trends and an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. This is how single names appear, which, perhaps, you will not hear anywhere else. Often rare names are borrowed from the cultures of other peoples or they take ancient ones that are no longer used. In an effort to name their child somehow unusual, parents are increasingly choosing foreign names.

The name Emma, ​​common and native to the British, will be considered rare in Russia. Sasha - a favorite among the short Russian names Alexander and Alexandra - in the United States will be perceived exclusively as a female full name.

Zoya is quite rare in Russia, but in France it is a fairly common name, which ten years ago took the 6th line in the country's rating. You will not find the name Laura in the Russian expanses; in Spain, every tenth girl is called this name. The beautiful name Daria currently does not leave the top five most common in Russia, but in Europe and the Americas it is found only as a foreign, rare name.

Beautiful unusual female names. In Russia, foreign names are often called unusual. This group includes the names of the European warehouse - Ophelia, Serena, Francesca, Paola, Iris. But Russians will also be rare for Russians, more often almost forgotten Zinaida, Claudia, Fedor, Domna.

Invented names can also be attributed to the category of unusual ones. They are very, very rare and rarely become public knowledge. Somewhat more often invented names can be found in the USA - Dakota, Chelsea, although in Russia you can also find several such examples - Astra, Stella, and they are not necessarily of Russian origin. In Soviet times, many unusual names were invented, but most of them did not take root.

The table below shows names that are rare and unusual for a given people, but at the same time they can be quite widespread among other peoples and not be considered rare there.

The fashion for various names is gradually changing. In a certain period, any names necessarily become popular. A very responsible step in life is the choice of a name for a child. The name is given for life, so its choice and meaning requires careful study.

Whatever you name the child, let reason and common sense prompt you in the search for a name. A name that harmonizes with the surname and patronymic, has a good meaning, and is to the liking of the child and parents - this is the best choice. Remember that your daughter will live with him all his life, approach responsibly when choosing a beautiful name.

Many sources claim that the name can affect the fate of a person. It is still impossible to prove or disprove this with a 100% guarantee. But every parent strives to give his baby a beautiful and, in his opinion, harmonious name.

Now around you can increasingly hear unusual names that have come to us from abroad or “extracted” from old books. Even in society, children with rare names are no longer reacted as sharply as they were ten years ago. It seems that such a variety simplifies the task of naming your baby. But this is not the case: a wide choice complicates the decision-making process. Sometimes, it is even difficult to narrow down the circle to two or three options.

1. How to choose a good name for a child

There are a number of criteria that will help parents make the right choice. The beauty of the sound of the full version may not be enough. The following should be analyzed:

• name origin;
• euphony of the short form;
• compatibility with the surname;
• meaning, translation and more.

Often parents choose names based on family customs. For example, one name may be passed down from generation to generation, or two may alternate. Or parents, by coincidence, have names that begin with the same letter. They may wish to retain this feature and name the child with this in mind.

If we talk about fashion trends, then the trend is Old Slavonic, international and even short names that are entered in documents. Among the latter are Marusya, Sasha, Lena, Kit and others. Even made-up names are no longer a rarity.

If the idea came to mind to invent a name on your own, then you should take into account the combination of each of the syllables of the word and its full sound. The chosen or invented word should be melodic. Its purpose is to emphasize the character that parents would like to see in a child. Or focus on some visible features of the baby. For example, red hair or big eyes.

2. Fashionable and beautiful names for boys

It is believed that a beautiful name is of great importance only for a girl. However, parents are seriously puzzled in the process of naming the boy. It is at this moment that fathers and mothers seek to lay in the child some traits that will need to be developed in the future. Therefore, most of the names chosen for male babies mean nobility, masculinity, strength, courage, intelligence and the ability to protect the weak.

Among the usual male names, their own variations appeared, designed to make these words more refined and original. This is due to a new generation of young parents who are fighting for the uniqueness of everything related to their offspring. So all kinds of Maximus, Alejandro and Damiana are born.

The desire to bring a foreign chic into the mediocrity of Russian reality gave rise to countless Alains, Bernards, Daniels, Jules, Laurents, Lucs, Mathieus, Nathans, Pierres and others among Ivans and Sergeyevs, undoubtedly attracting the attention of boys. Parents with such a violent fantasy should take into account that Francisco Ivanov or Günter Semenov will cause nothing but laughter from classmates. Even adults will not be able to calmly respond to such combinations.

For those who have not yet decided on a name for a male baby, we can recommend the following list of names suitable for our region and at the same time beautiful names:

• Alexander;
• Matvey;
• Oleg;
• Oscar;
• Paul;
• Alexei;
• Bogdan;
• Peter;
• Anatoly;
• Andrey;
• Daniel;
• Vladimir;
• Arkady;

3. Choosing a name for a girl

In the case of the birth of a girl, parents also have a difficult task. During adolescence, girls are more likely than boys to say that they do not like their name. Of course, you can make a reference to the rebellious age and whims, but still, you should take care in advance that the child himself likes the name.

An interesting fact: Roman women most often did not have their own name. They were honored only with a generic name or the so-called cognomen of the husband. In Greece, quite the opposite: every girl born was given a completely new name.

The choice of a harmonious name for everyone is absolutely subjective. Someone likes Elena, while the other is delighted with Praskovya. Increasingly, on the streets of cities you can meet Lada or Evdokia. Among the most popular female names today:

When naming a daughter, parents should understand: the name is the most important decoration for a girl, which she will have to wear all her life. Stella or Milada? Bazhen or Carolina? Clara or Zoryana? Or maybe just love? Rare and beautiful names for girls are presented in such abundance that it is difficult not to get confused. But which one is right for your baby, and what is the right name for your daughter? About this - in our material.

Today, the influence of the female name on her character, quality and life expectancy is studied quite widely. Moreover, the topic is considered by official science, and predictive practices, and magic. Understandably, many parents want to know how it all works. After all, it is so important to write down in the birth certificate not only a beautiful full name, but a happy fate for your daughter.

The name is determined by the calendar, season, numbers and science

So, for newborns, astrologers draw up special horoscopes that allow you to determine a successful naming option. Numerologists select the "correct" names by calculating the date of birth of the child. Healers ask nature what an unusual name to call a girl: they recommend choosing options according to the time of year and month of birth.

There is also anthroponymy. This is a separate scientific area for the study of the history of the emergence and evolution of the full name, the patterns of functioning of its components. In their works, anthroponymists analyze various proper names, identify the most successful combinations of full names.

For believing Orthodox Christians, the most recommended option for naming a girl is according to the calendar. So, the name is given in honor of the saint, whose day coincides with the baby's birthday or falls on the eighth, fortieth days from birth.

How were children named in the old days?

Our ancestors approached the naming of girls easier. And at the same time, the names of the then beauties could be the most unusual. In Rus', they were selected so that the baby could be distinguished from other family members. For example, Pervusha was the first child. The name reflected external data: the girl Chernava grew up swarthy and with dark hair. And Nekrasa was born not too pretty.

The features of character or behavior were taken as a basis: Cry-baby, Clever. They named the baby, taking into account the circumstances of her birth. For example, Istoma grew up in families where her mother suffered during childbirth. And Snezhana was born in the cold. The attitude of adults towards the girl could also be indicated: Zhdana, Nezhdana, Lyubava, Darena.

Anna, Maria and Sofia are the three most popular female naming options on the planet. Although they may sound different in different countries, because they have many synonyms. For example, Annette, Marie and Sophie live in France. And Hannah, Marichen and Zofa are in Germany.

Many modern female names literally fascinate others, and make their owner even more attractive. But finding an interesting, in your opinion, naming option is only half the battle. In order for the name to "play", you need to take into account several points.

1. Nationality. Now in Russia, children are often given “names” that are unusual for local culture and traditions. They are borrowed from other countries, religions, mentalities. In some cases, this is justified. But in combination with the usual Slavic patronymics and surnames, it looks, to put it mildly, strange. For example, the combination "Gayane Vasilievna Kozlova" loses to the combination "Gayane Gasparovna Oganesyan". For an Armenian girl, this name is suitable, but not quite for a newborn Slav. It is also worth considering that in interethnic marriages, girls are born whose external features differ from typical Slavic features. Therefore, for mestizo children, it is also necessary to carefully select the naming option. In Russia, the dark-skinned Masha, whose dad is an Arab, will always be given increased attention. But Regina or Sabira in this case will be neutral and suitable options.
2. Surname . Not all families can boast of a rich and strong surname. In such cases, the girl should not choose a too unusual name. Judge for yourself: the combination of "Malvina Vyrvihvost" will be a double reason for peer ridicule. The option "Natalia Vyrkhvost" in this case looks neater. Of course, one can hope that Michel Gus or Chernava Cloud will grow up, get married and take the names of their soulmates. But what if they decide otherwise? Now, after all, many believe that a change of name negatively affects fate. So, women are afraid to make changes in documents. But even there is a girl who is not superstitious ... What if she falls in love with a guy with the surname Bloch, Damn, Grave, Slyunin or Pindyur?
3. Surname . In addition to the national factor, the principle of consonance must also be taken into account. For bulky, long patronymics, it is worth picking up short names. Otherwise, those around when addressing the girl will break their tongues. For example, the combination "Garden Ramzullovna" outperforms the combination "Wanting Ramzullovna". The same principle applies when comparing the combinations "Vladislava Veniaminovna" and "Nina Veniaminovna". By the way, a tandem is good, where consonance is read in the name and patronymic. And also win options where the “names” of the daughter and dad begin with the same letter: “Angelina Andreevna”, “Irina Igorevna”, “Nora Nikolaevna”.
4. Forms. What will you lovingly name your daughter? Zoechka, Mashunya, Katrusya, Lelya, Lyubasya ... Any female address takes official and diminutive forms. But also many of them can be transformed into nicknames. Here you need to understand that children, especially schoolchildren, are cruel. They love to tease each other. So, Anfisa can turn into a Rat, Yulia - into Dulya, and Rosa - into Dung.
5. Fashion. Especially young parents want to be in trend and find a fashionable name for the baby. There are even completely excesses like the Keyboard, Sarah-Paprika, Simka or Viagra. But in the pursuit of originality, think about the future of your daughter. Do you have a neighbor old lady Dazdraperma? Hardly. As they matured, the girls, fashionably named after the Soviet May Day, were in a hurry to change this rare name. Grandmothers of the Olympics are also few. Yes, and few people know the old women with the name of Trolebuzin, named according to the principle “Trotsky-Lenin-Bukharin-Zinoviev”.

Psychologists recommend avoiding options with unexpressed sexual attachment when naming girls. The "asexual" names of Eugene, Valery, Alexander, Alexy can "steal" tenderness and girlish charm from your baby, hinder her development, female self-identification. Also, you should not name the child in honor of relatives who lived a difficult fate and passed away in agony. And giving the girl the name of the mother, you increase the risk of competition and misunderstandings in the family.
