"What's in a name?" - the poet asked the unknown interlocutor. Above the same question, but more broad sense, humanity has been fighting for more than one century, but the names are in no hurry to reveal all their secrets. Even notorious materialists and skeptics do not choose the first names that come across for their children, thereby recognizing that the name is becoming business card a person in society, a part of himself. Many people are sure that an individual name not only contains information about its owner, but is also able to participate in the formation of its character, to influence further life... In this regard, they often recall famous phrase"Whatever you call a yacht, so it will float." What can we say about man - a living being and connected to the universe by thousands of threads!

Personal names are the object of study of anthroponymy - a section of the science of onomastics. Within its framework, researchers study their origin, evolutionary development, laws and features of functioning. Each name, whether it is originally Slavic or borrowed from other languages, for example, Greek and Hebrew, has its own history, its own meaning. The original meaning of many names was lost in the thickness of the centuries, erased, and ceased to be taken literally. In addition, not all people are interested in the meaning of their name, thereby missing out on the opportunity to learn more about themselves and their life prospects. Meanwhile, the research of modern anthroponymists is aimed at compiling psychological portrait a typical representative of a particular name, because even earlier it was discovered that similarly named people have much in common in character, fate and even appearance.

Of course, one should not exaggerate the role of the name in the formation of personality, but still it deserves the closest attention. The choice of a name for a child should be deliberate, thoughtful, taking into account different factors...

According to 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 numbered in the hundreds in the names of all countries and cultures, without exception. And no less, the male name, as well as the female, as concealed, and continues to conceal a secret ...

Male names in different cultures of the world

Modern male names in different cultures are calculated in very different variations. But each individual culture, be it Slavic, Western, Eastern or Central European, has its own naming traditions. In some countries, I name men in accordance with the social status of the families in which they are born, in others, the naming takes place in accordance with religion and belief, and there are third cases in which this process is treated in an extremely simple way, as in the West and in particular in the USA.

V Slavic culture, for example, men are extremely responsible for the process of naming the future. Here men are always named with names corresponding to their religious affiliation and they try to give such male names that could endow at least some biblical energy (although there are exceptions). And earlier, newborn children were only called temporarily, and a man could receive a full name only upon reaching nine years old - then the name was chosen in accordance with habits, habits, hobbies or personal qualities.

At the same time in medieval Europe and the name was given such attention, which is not given to this day in any culture. There, the choice of a name was based on several factors at once. One of them was the definition social status and the 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 in order to distinguish a person from the crowd and identify him in this way.

And in the same China, men and women are called for completely different reasons. There, first of all, not the energy and meaning of the entire name are 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, related to a certain element, and vice versa.

Much has changed today - in many cultures modern people they have already simply forgotten about the centuries-old traditions formed by our ancestors, while in others they try to adhere to the traditions of naming men, as well as women, modifying the 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, has been 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 the child. Now a lot has changed and you can call it any name, not only Slavic, and not only church. And besides, given the richness of the Russian nomenclature, 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 correct tradition in the opinion of the majority. It consists in naming the future man with such a masculine name that will carry a 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. The truth is there is one important rule- you cannot use exactly one of the hundred names of Allah, you need to 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 kind of energy it has. And many parents even think of something that makes them shiver. 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

Religiousness in terms of naming men is still as important a criterion as it used to be. And it is worth noting that it is precisely religiosity that remains the only factor that most newly-made parents still pay attention to.

On our portal, all male names, along with other criteria, are divided into categories and in accordance with religion. It:

  • Orthodox;
  • Catholic;
  • Muslim;
  • Jewish.

How to choose a suitable male name in modern times?

It is not so easy to choose a good male name in modern times, even despite the fact that male names are represented by a thousand variations, one way or another associated with different religions, social factors, cultures and more. Ideally, however, you need to follow the traditions of the culture to which the child belongs - this is in the first place. 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 have 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, religion is still almost the most important criterion. But it is necessary to name in accordance with religion carefully and adhering to traditions. For example, Orthodoxy is recommended to call future men by the names of Saints whose name days are celebrated on the child's birthday. In addition, over time, a second name may be given - the church name. It is given at the time of baptism.

The name of the boy and the meaning of the chosen name is a topic of interest to every newly made 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 ...

Every parent, be it 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, on the characteristics of the character that is formed in him, on the personality as such - and everything in his life depends on this, in turn, and the chances for career, 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 January's patronage, are inherently purposeful and hardworking, but conflict and often because of this they are deprived of sociability. It is desirable to call such names by promising sociability and gentleness, unscrupulousness and patience, poise.

The name of the February boys should be endowed with non-conflict, sociability, eloquence and the ability to compromise, for all this is not available for children born in this month. Among the Orthodox names there are many such. Some of them are given below ...

In March, hardworking and shy ones 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 fortitude. The name of such a guy should not contain harsh sounds.

Those who patronize April are usually selfish and stubborn by nature, often in conflict with their peers and do not know how to soundly accept other people's opinions and advice. These are required to be called names that promise gentleness and sanity, unprincipled and practical, and good compatibility.

Those born in May are recommended to be called those variations that can bestow sociability and friendliness, good nature and gentleness. They are family men by nature, but devoid of emotions and imagination, fantasy and romance. Such quality as purposefulness does not hurt either.

And here there are shy, shy, suspicious and modest boys, and they will not have either a career or material success if they are not endowed with the necessary traits: decisiveness, self-sufficiency and self-confidence. Names patronized by July can endow all this.

August's guys are kind and gentle, easily make contact and love to communicate, but are frivolous and unreliable, unable to make their own responsible decisions. Such options should be called 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 on September are deprived of all of the above. But it is worth remembering that the options patronized by this month are usually too influential and have the strongest energy.

Children of October in the future, in most cases, tend to be prudent, self-interested, composure and uncompromising. You need to call it options that have a softening effect. Sensitivity, gentleness, fairness, sincerity and optimism will not hurt.

In November representatives, material dependence and a thirst for power prevail, with which it is desirable to fight from childhood by all possible ways, including the bestowal of a name that endows such qualities as decisiveness, calmness, sincerity and integrity.

And here it does not hurt to call all the boys by such a name, the meaning of which will endow the ability to control emotions and be guided exclusively by logic, because those born in December, in particular Pisces, are too prone to the opposite, they are unbalanced and emotional in origin of soul and nature.


For many patriarchal peoples, the lineage of the clan was conducted from father to son, so the name of the child was one of the ways to show the uniqueness of both the boy and the clan. Echoes of these traditions are heard in our language today, when English, other European and Eastern names, for example, Muslim male names, come to the Russian name-book.

Russian names for men include several large "blocks" - these are both Old Slavic and Orthodox (among which there are Jewish, Greek, and Latin). Among the names used, you can find Eastern, European, and even American.

For the men themselves, it is rarely interesting what their name means; fathers usually choose a name for a child, for a boy, based on personal preferences. And this means that the big responsibility in how to name the child falls on the mother - to choose the most beautiful name and convince her husband that it is exactly what is right for the heir.

Today, a name for a child can be chosen from a great variety of options - the list is huge. The most popular ones, for example, lead to the fact that in one class there are four Nikita or five Daniils at once. So it's better not to react to fashion trends, but on their own feelings and knowledge.

It is important that the name of the child is beautiful, harmonious, combined with the patronymic and surname. It is necessary to understand what kind of history the name has, what is its meaning. If this is important to you, then you need to consider both the astrological and numerological aspects of the word.

From time immemorial

What to choose from? Many of the Russian names are Old Slavonic and Old Russian. They consist of two roots, and their meaning is often clear to us. The ancient Slavic names seem to give the child characteristics from birth, the meanings of which are quite "transparent".

Below is a list in which Old Slavonic male names are arranged alphabetically.

  • - the one given by God.
  • Borislav is the one who fights for glory.
  • Bronislav is a reliable (glorious) defender.
  • - ruler.
  • - the ruler of the world.
  • - the one who possesses (owns) the glory.
  • - the ruler of the people.
  • Vyacheslav is the most glorious.
  • Izyaslav - "took", that is, earned fame.
  • Miroslav is a glorious world.
  • Mstislav is a glorious avenger.
  • Rostislav is the one whose fame is growing.
  • Svyatoslav is the one whose glory is sacred.
  • Stanislav is the one who became famous, famous, famous.
  • - bright and strong.

But the old Russian names and their meaning were associated not only with power and military glory. Here are some more Slavic names that are built on the same principle - after all, they are understandable, beautiful and a little unusual for our ear:

  • Bogolyub is one who loves God.
  • Boguslav is the one who glorifies God.

  • Radomir is the one who rejoices in the world.
  • Tihomir is the one who brings silence and peace.
  • Jaromir is one who loves the world in all its cheerful manifestations (many Slavic peoples the sun god was called Yarilo)

You can see that the ancient Slavic names were included in Orthodox saints... This happened, for example, after their carriers were canonized.

From the Greeks - to the Slavs

Russian male names include Orthodox (Greek, Latin and Hebrew) that came with Christianity. Many "Russian" names have foreign counterparts that have the same roots - Christian and Orthodox holy books. Among them you can see very popular, and very rare now, and the most "ordinary":

  • Adam is a man.
  • Azat is freedom-loving, independent.
  • Akaki is one who does not do evil.
  • - protector of people.
  • - protective.
  • Alim is a scientist.
  • Anatoly is a man from the East.

  • - crowned.
  • - respecting God.
  • - God's gift.

These are far from all Orthodox Russian names, a complete list of them can be found in the calendar. Ukrainian male names, like Russian ones, include both Orthodox from the calendar and borrowed foreign ones, which have taken root on new soil.

At the same time, both Orthodox and European male names were transformed due to the peculiarities of the language, so it is not always possible to understand their original sound. There are also names from the holy calendar that are popular in the Ukrainian land, which are much less in demand in Russia.

These are, for example, Avilo, Auxentius, Agapius, Agapit, Agafonik, Adrian, Alfy, Bartholomy, Bonifatius, Vavilo, Vakula, Gavrilo, Gordius, Darius, Dorophius, Zeno, Zinovy, Jerome, Kapiton, Karpo, Kupriyan, Lavrentius, Miletius, Naum, Nikanor, Ovram, Olexiy, Omelyan, Paisy, Paramon, Savatius, Simon, Titus, Trochim, Theodulus, Foka, Yalisei.

A real international

Today Russian names have absorbed beautiful names from different languages, the meaning of which we do not always understand. For example, Tatar words are borrowed due to the fact that there is the Republic of Tatarstan in Russia, and large Tatar communities live in the rest of the country. The most popular Tatar names are now used by other peoples as well.

For example, here are the most beautiful Tatar names:

  • Azamat is a hero.
  • Ainur is the light of the moon.
  • Amin is a faithful guardian.
  • Bulat is steel.
  • Vildan is a minister of the heavenly garden.
  • Gazinur is a light warrior.
  • Danis is a scientist.
  • Zinur is luminous.
  • Ilgiz is a traveler, a wanderer.
  • Irek is free.
  • Camille is perfect.
  • Rais is the boss.
  • Rustam is a hero from a legend.

You can see that the Tatar names also do not stand still, the European Marat, Robert, Raphael and others have already joined them. As before, Tatar names to a large extent are traditional Islamic Adel, Ayvaz, Alfir, Amir, Bakhtiyar, Vakhit, Gabdulla, Daniyar, Jamal, Zarif, Ibrahim, Ilfar, Kabir, Latif, Mahmut, Muslim, Nigmatulla, Rifat, Sagit, Talgat, Farhad, Khairullah, Sharif.

Roughly on the same principle as the Tatar, beautiful Jewish names... Some of them came to the saints from the Bible, but not all, and few know the meaning of these words:

  • Ariel is the lion of God.
  • Daniel is my judge - god.
  • Omer is a sheaf of wheat.
  • Uri is the light for me.
  • Eitan is a strong man.
  • Elazar is divine help.

Many Russian mothers are looking for the most beautiful name for their child. The closest attention is paid to American names: Alan, Brandon, James, Kevin, Cameron, Mason and others. But when choosing words that are rare and unusual for our country, you need to remember that the meaning may differ from the sound: for example, Cameron means “bow-nosed”.

But such incidents are very, very rare, hardly anyone would want their son to be called somehow absurd. At the same time, English names today no longer sound pretentious and foreign - they are interesting and modern for our society.

Leon, Robert, Edgar will surprise few people, but others English names- Jack, Dylan, Logan, Ryan, Thomas, Alfie - to the ear of a Russian person, they do not go well with Russian patronymics and surnames. So, when choosing the most wonderful and unique name for your heir, remember: the child should be comfortable living with the name that you choose! Author: Olga Inozemtseva

The choice of a name for a child born into the world is an important and responsible matter. It depends on the decision of the parents further destiny baby. When choosing names for boys, it should be borne in mind that the name should reflect the natural human qualities, to be euphonic, go well with middle name... In the old days, children were given a name according to the calendar. Currently, some religious parents adhere to this, others often name their children, relying on family traditions and personal preference.

The name given to the baby determines the character and fate of the child. Since ancient times, the name of the baby was given special meaning... Many different beliefs and customs are associated with the name. It is believed that you cannot give the baby the name of a deceased relative, you can repeat his fate. However, in many families there are traditions to name a child after a father, grandfather... The main thing is that the ancestor was a worthy person so that the child would take an example from him and grow up to be a good person himself.

It should take into account the meaning, sound, intuition, combination with patronymic, traditions, preference. How to choose a name so that the boy calls it with pride, so that it evokes a benevolent reaction from other people. Ancient sages tied the fate of the boy with his name. Given name became a kind of amulet, the true was hidden from everyone until a certain time. A fictional middle name was given to the baby so that the child would not be jinxed, not taken away from him the best happy lot.

The name may indicate that the little man belongs to a particular nation. Depending on the character, it is able to emphasize the talent, the dignity of its owner. Some names form masculine traits, emphasize power, strength, others express the love of parents for children, connection with nature. There are different approaches to choosing. Someone looks at the calendar, others look at popularity, each nation has its own traditions. When a person is happy with a name, it helps him achieve life goals... When choosing, the following points are taken into account:


Many parents choose names following fashion. The most common and popular male names nowadays names are considered:

  • Maksim.
  • Nikita.
  • Daniel.
  • Artem.
  • Andrey.
  • Egor.
  • Kirill.
  • Yaroslav.
  • Sergey.
  • Alexey.
  • Alexander.
  • Novel.
  • Egor.
  • Matvey.
  • Semyon.
  • Ruslan.

The child himself likes such names, and he says his name with joy. Many parents prefer to call their babies well-established, time-tested old names. Long names are shortened. Preference is given to traditional names... The religious factor also affects the popularity of the name. Easy-to-read names are becoming common. Boy name fashion could change established ratings. But such names as Alexander, Alexey, Vladimir do not go out of popularity.

Beautiful names for boys exist in every nation. Use your intuition and common sense when choosing a name for your child. So that it is euphonic should say it out loud, listen to how it will be combined with the patronymic and surname. You should think about the middle name that the future man will give to his children so that it does not sound extravagant by ear.

An overly offbeat name can be ridiculed at school. It should be remembered that when the child grows up and possibly takes a leadership position, to him will contact full name ... A favorable combination of a name with a patronymic plays important role... An adult man is addressed by his first name and patronymic. You need to choose an easy-to-pronounce combination.

If the middle name is of medium length, name will do the same size. With a long patronymic, it is better to choose short name... For example, Lev Evgenievich goes well. Nationality must be taken into account. Some parents call their sons the name of a famous actor or famous hero stories. Better not to. Everyone lives their own destiny.

You should not call the boy by the same name as his father. This is not the best combination. Repetition enhances the energy of the name and the properties inherent in the character of the spouse. This creates confusion when two people have the same name.

Since ancient times, people with certain names have been hardy, strong, reached the heights in life... These qualities are appreciated at all times. Therefore, modern parents are looking for strong male names for their children. These include:


TO strong names include: Igor, Ruslan. Eugene, Kirill, Dmitry. They are combined with a middle name, pronounced beautifully and have powerful energy.

Some parents choose too original and extravagant names for their children. In pursuit of popularity parents come up with unusual names without thinking about their meaning and how the boy should live with him. Parents call the child so that even the registry office employees refuse to register him under that name. The born Muscovites received such unusual names as Mir, Justin, Cosmos, Elka. By choosing names for boys, sometimes parents are guided by astrology and numerology, they name the child after famous actors and literary heroes.

In the USSR at the dawn of communism they gave strange names... Tractor, Kim. Unusual names invented in those years are unlikely to be used. For example - Vladlen in honor of Vladimir Lenin, Pofistal - meant: The winner of fascism, Joseph Stalin. There is a real boom in the USA in unusual names. What you should know when choosing rare names, what are the recommendations of psychologists, nuances, you need to think about it. Some rare names sonorous and reflect energy and meaning.
