According to the biblical legend, the first man was called Adam, which means that his name is the first male name in the history of mankind. Now, after many hundreds and thousands of years, male names number in the hundreds in the names of all countries and cultures, without exception. And yet, the male name, like the female one, both concealed and continues to conceal a secret ...
Male names in different cultures of the world
Modern male names in different cultures are calculated in a variety of variations. But each individual culture, be it Slavic, Western, Eastern or Central European, has its own naming traditions. In some countries, men are named according to the social status of the families in which they are born, in others, naming occurs in accordance with religion and creed, and there are still third cases in which this process is treated in an extremely simple way, as in the West and in particular in the USA.
In Slavic culture, for example, the process of naming a future man is treated extremely responsibly. Here, men are always called names corresponding to religious affiliation and they try to give such male names that could endow at least some biblical energy (although there are exceptions). And before, newborn children were called at all only temporarily, and a man could receive a full-fledged name only after reaching the age of nine - then the name was chosen in accordance with habits, habits, hobbies or personal qualities.
At the same time, in medieval Europe, the name was given such attention at all, which is not paid to this day in any culture. There, the choice of name was based on several factors at once. One of them was the determination of the social status and belonging of the child and his family to a particular social stratum. But in the high societies of that time, the name was more of a “label”, serving solely to distinguish a person from the crowd and identify him in this way.
And in the same China, men and women are named for completely different reasons. There, first of all, it is not the energy and meaning of the entire name that is taken into account, but the meaning and symbolism of each individual hieroglyph, captured in the full written version of the name. Hieroglyphs in this culture are divided into favorable and unfavorable, those associated with a certain element, and vice versa.
Today, much has changed - in many cultures, modern people have simply forgotten about the centuries-old traditions that have developed by our ancestors, while in others they try to adhere to the traditions of naming men, like women, modifying generally accepted ancient traditions and rules. But one thing has not changed - the name should belong to every man and woman without exception. But now there is no need to associate it with religion, specialty, craft or habits. Now it is enough just to choose the male name that will meet the wishes of the parents. And no one will ever make any claims about this.
Modern naming traditions
Subscribe to our channel
The modern tradition of naming men, like women, is simplified to the point of impossibility. Literally thirty years ago, our ancestors still tried to name future men in accordance with the main Slavic tradition - in honor of the Saint, who is revered on the birthday of a child. Now much has changed and you can call it by any name, not only Slavic, and not only church. And besides, given the saturation of the Russian name-book, it would be foolish to ignore the variants of names that do not correspond to our cultural traditions and religion.
For Muslims, everything is simpler - here they adhere to only one single tradition that is correct in the opinion of the majority. It consists in naming the future man with such a masculine name that will carry favorable energy and mean something positive, correct from a psychological, cultural, and moral point of view.
The most common among Muslims are still the names of the prophets, as well as some variations of the names of Allah. Historical nominal variations are also not excluded. True, there is one important rule - you cannot use exactly one of the hundred names of Allah, you must add the prefix "Ab" to it, which means "slave."
But in the same America and most countries of the modern West, the naming of the future man is no longer accompanied by any traditions. Now the very procedure of naming in the West sometimes resembles some kind of insanity. Children are named after singers, football players, famous politicians and just friends. And it doesn’t matter what the name means and what energy it has. And for many parents, something comes to mind that makes them shudder. Although in Slavic culture, these cases are no exception - for example, in Ukraine, after the “Revolution of Dignity 2014”, many parents called their children “Maidans” and not only ...
Name and religiosity: the main criterion for division
Religiosity in terms of naming men is still as important a criterion as ever. And it is worth noting that it is religiosity that remains the only factor that most new parents still pay attention to.
On our portal, all male names, along with other criteria, are divided into categories and in accordance with religion. This:
- Orthodox;
- Catholic;
- Muslim;
- Jewish.
How to choose a suitable male name in modern times?
Choosing a good male name in modern times is not so easy, even despite the fact that male names are represented by a thousand variations, one way or another connected with different religions, social factors, cultures and more. Ideally, you need to follow the traditions of the culture to which the child belongs - this is the first thing. That is, the ideal option is to find a name that matches the culture. But now this is not easy to do, because names from all cultures are mixed in one name book.
Thus, you can move on to another option, which involves the choice of a modern male name in accordance with religion. Yes, yes, religion is still almost the most important criterion. But it is necessary to name according to religion carefully and adhering to traditions. For example, Orthodoxy is recommended to call future men the names of Saints, whose name day is celebrated on the child’s birthday. In addition, over time, a second name can be given - a church one. It is given at baptism.
A name is something given to us by our parents. This is what we give to our children. It is very important, because it can become a reliable amulet and protective talisman for you.
Sergey. Sergei means "clear". Clarity is the purity and strength of the mind. This name is a good universal amulet, as well as a kind of happy talisman. True, Sergey still has frequent problems with his opponents.
Anton. A strong name that protects its owner from a love spell and from clouding his mind. There is a weak resistance to the evil eye and curses. Anton is a warrior who fights for his freedom and recognition, so he does not always manage to defend himself, because the essence of this name is struggle.
Alexei. It means "protector" in Greek. Protection is always good. The amulet from this name turns out to be good, but not always stable. This inconstancy prevents Aleksei from being protected from the evil eye or a love spell.
Michael. This name arguably fits the description of the ideal protection for a boy or a grown man, since the camp of specialists is divided into two large parts - those who believe that this name is one of the best, and those who consider it mediocre in terms of protection. Due to this confusion, we only give it sixth place on our list.
Kirill. This name means "master", which hints at a special energy. Cyril is his own boss, so he is definitely not afraid of simple evil eyes. Do you want to provide the boy with protection and strength? - call him Cyril.
Valery. The meaning is similar to Cyril, but is interpreted a little differently. This is a stronger name-amulet, because it was always worn by the most persistent men. It grants stable protection from almost all types of energy impact.
Victor. He is the winner and he is the winner. The highest level of energy is able to give Victor protection from everything that comes from people who are evil and hostile. We give bronze to this excellent name, which is both beautiful and a talisman.
Igor. From time immemorial, Igor was painted with calmness, strength and equanimity. These qualities help to see the world in the right light, abstracting from everything that may be unnecessary. Igor is absolutely not worried about the very possibility of being cursed. He knows it won't affect him. This makes Igor the most powerful talisman name on our list. Almost the strongest.
Alexander. An ancient name meaning "defender of the family." This spiritual talisman is able to provide stable protection not only for the boy or man himself, but for his entire family. Thus, Alexander is the best name for protection from filth, evil eye, envy, curses and all invisible problems.
Don't forget that a name is like a name for a ship. Whatever you call a boy, that will be his life. Our ancestors believed that names have a special magic that gives a person strength, luck and protection.

The presence of damage or the evil eye on a person is always manifested by troubles and poor health. However, there are several...
The name of the boy and the meaning of the chosen name is a topic that interests every new or future parent without exception, which is not surprising, because the process of choosing a name form is quite complicated and responsible, and the names have so many variations that the head is spinning ...
Each parent, whether mom or dad, must responsibly weigh the pros and cons of each variation of the name, because many important factors depend on the choice of name. One of them, for example, is the factor of character and the whole future. Each specific name given to a boy can affect the future of the child named by him, the characteristics of the character that is being formed in him, the personality as such - and everything in his life, in turn, depends on this, and the chances for career growth, and popularity in society, and sociability, and the ability to endure everyday difficulties, and even the chances of building a strong and truly happy family.
Boys born at the time of the patronage of January are inherently purposeful and hardworking, but conflicted and often because of this they are deprived of sociability. It is desirable to call such names promising sociability and gentleness, unscrupulousness and patience, poise.
The name of the February boy should endow with conflict-freeness, sociability, eloquence and the ability to compromise, because all this is not available for children born this month. Among the Orthodox names there are many such. Some of them are listed below...
In March, hardworking and shy people are born. Touchy and vulnerable, capricious and devoid of charisma. Such boys are difficult to endure, they need to complement the character with charm, eloquence, tenderness and moral stamina. The name of such a guy should not contain harsh sounds.
Those who patronize April are usually selfish and stubborn by nature, often conflict with their peers and do not know how to take soundly other people's opinions and advice. These are required to be called names that promise gentleness and sanity, unscrupulousness and practicality, and good compatibility.
Those born in May are recommended to be called those variations that are able to bestow sociability and friendliness, good nature and gentleness. These are family men by nature, but devoid of emotions and imagination, fantasy and romance. Such a quality as purposefulness will not interfere.
And here there are shy, shy, suspicious and modest boys, and these will not have either a career or material success if they are not endowed with the necessary features: determination, self-sufficiency and self-confidence. All this can be endowed with names patronized by July.
The guys of August are kind and gentle, easily make contact and love to communicate, but are frivolous and unreliable, incapable of making their own responsible decisions. Such it is required to call options promising missing characteristics. The best ones are offered by us further…
Here you need to select a variation that promises ease of communication, readiness for adventure, fantasy and imagination, because usually those born in September are deprived of all of the above. But it is worth remembering that the options patronized this month are usually too influential and have the strongest energy.
October children in the future in most cases tend to be prudence, self-interest, composure and uncompromisingness. You need to name options that have a mitigating effect. Sensitivity, gentleness, justice, sincerity and optimism will not interfere.
The November representatives are dominated by material dependence and a thirst for power, with which it is desirable to fight from childhood in all possible ways, including the bestowal of a name that endows with such qualities as decisiveness, calmness, sincerity and integrity.
And here it doesn’t hurt to call all the boys by that name, the meaning of which will give the ability to control emotions and be guided solely by logic, for those born in December, in particular Pisces, are too prone to the opposite, they are unbalanced and emotional in origin soul and nature.
