The word "surname" is translated from Latin, how's the family". This means that this indicates that a person belongs to the genus from which he came. The emergence of family nicknames was often associated with the profession that the clan was engaged in from generation to generation, or with the name of the area in which the family lived, or the name of the clan indicated character traits, the specifics of appearance, and a nickname. No wonder there is a saying "not in the eyebrow, but in the eye" - people have always hung labels very accurately.

In Russia, at first there was only a name and patronymic, and the first surnames appeared only in the 14th century. Naturally, they were received by noble people: princes, boyars, nobles.

The first names of dynasties came from the names of places of residence, births or possessions: Tverskoy, Arkhangelsk, Zvenigorodsky, Moskvin.


Later, Russian surnames became a storehouse for the history of professions and everyday life: the Bochkarevs, Melnikovs, Telegin.

Developed in late XVIII v. the American nation is very heterogeneous and in currently unites in itself not only the descendants of immigrants from all parts of the world, but also indigenous population- Indians. Therefore, it is not surprising that different national roots can be traced in the surnames and names of US residents: European, African, South American, Asian. These features often make American surnames and the names are so interesting and exotic.

How are they formed?

The basis for many modern surnames became nicknames, including Native American. Also, quite often surnames were formed from the names of professions (Smith, Miller, Taylor), geographical places (England, Lancaster) and objects (Bush, Rock, Moore), father's name (Johnson, Stevenson) and just names (Stewart, Williams, Henry) , as well as animals, flowers and various objects (Fish, White, Rose, Young).

At the beginning of the 20th century, there was a tendency to change difficult to pronounce national surnames: reduction, translation, transformation in order to make them similar to the English ones. But in recent decades the opposite process is observed: the desire for its own national and cultural identity, which is manifested in the rejection of the Americanization of names and surnames. This is especially true for immigrants from African countries, Spain and Latin America... Modern American surnames and first names increasingly emphasize the origin of a person.

It is also a very common phenomenon to invent pseudonyms. Most often they are taken creative personalities: musicians, actors, artists.

American names, male and female, are often abbreviated in everyday communication. Examples: Adam - Ed; Gilbert - Gil; Michael - Mike; Robert - Rob, Bob, Bobby, Robbie; Richard - Dick, Richie; Arnold - Arnie; Eleanor - Ellie, Nora; Elizabeth - Lizzie, Liz, Elsa, Betty, Beth; Katherine - Kathy, Kat. Young guys (and even mature men) are often addressed by their initials. For example, a person named T.J. Morris will most likely be called T.J. by most acquaintances.

As in English, American male and female surnames sound exactly the same. In official communication, addresses by surname with the prefixes "mister" or "sir" to men are accepted, and to women "miss" or "mrs."

Female names

The ten most beloved names of girls by American parents include Isabella, Sophia, Emma, ​​Olivia, Ava, Emily, Abigail, Madison, Chloe, Mia.

Formed female names often from titles beautiful plants or precious stones... Examples: Rose, Daisy, Olive (ia), Evie (Ivy), Lilly, Violet, Ruby, Beryl, Jade, etc.

Male names

According to statistics, most often American parents call boys the names Jacob, Ethan, Michael, Jaden, William, Alexander, Noah, Daniel, Aiden, Anthony.

There is a strong tradition of naming after a father or grandfather. In this case, the word "junior" (junior) or the ordinal name is added to the name: second, third, etc. For example: Anthony White Junior, Christian Bell Second.

American male names are often consonant with surnames (White, Johnson, Davis, Alexander, Carter, Neil, Lewis, etc.). And all because once both those and others were formed from nicknames.

The most popular American surnames

More than two million residents of the United States are named Smith and Johnson. With slightly more modest results (over a million people), the owners of the surnames Williams, Jones, Brown, Davis and Miller follow. Rounding out the top ten are Wilson, Moore and Taylor.
