Belgium is one of the “small” Western European countries. It is located at the crossroads Western Europe, “sandwiched” between Germany, Luxembourg, the Netherlands and France. The territory of 30.5 thousand km 2 accommodates more than 11.5 million! Human.

Belgians are divided into 2 language groups living separately from each other. In the northern provinces (Flanders) live the Flemings, who speak a Dutch dialect, and in the southern (Wallonia) the Walloons. They speak Walloon and French. Such heterogeneity, which became the cause of the “linguistic confrontation” between North and South, could not but affect the formation of the Belgian nomenclature.

Origin of female Belgian names

The first population to which Belgium owes its name were the Belgians. These warlike tribes, distinguished by a fairly high level of development, appeared on Western European territory approximately 400-300 BC. e. Like other Celtic peoples, they were pagan Druids. Worshiping plants, the Belgae gave their daughters the names of sacred trees, in which, in their opinion, the gods, or good and evil spirits. For example, Cyperissa is a “plaintive cypress”, Avalon is an “apple island”, Ingridr is a “meadow” or Enya is a “singing elf.” Therefore, many traditional Belgian female names modern times have Celtic roots.

After the invasion of the legions of Julius Caesar, who named his new province Gallia Belgica, the name book began to be replenished with onyms of Latin origin. For example, such names of Belgian women as Aurora - “dawn”, Viviyana - “living”, Juno - “life force”, Itela - “from Italy”.

After the fall of Rome, the warlike Germanic tribes of the Franks came to the Belgian lands. They also made a significant contribution to the formation of the name system. At that time, the most popular were dibasic Belgian names girls: Galatea, Theodora, Berngardina, Gundula, etc.

Before the declaration of Independence (1830), Belgium had various rulers. It was “ruled” by Italians, French, Dutch, Germans, Austrians, Burgundians, etc. Of course, such a variety of ethnic cultures could not but affect the name.

All modern Belgian female names are conventionally divided into groups:

  • indicating characteristic features: Adelheid - “noble appearance”, Griselda - “gray maiden”, Katarina - “pure”;
  • having a religious orientation: Kristen – “follower of Christ”, Lisail – “God is my oath”;
  • Related professional activity: Heinrike – “home ruler”, Theresia – “reaper”;
  • identified with natural phenomena, plants, animals or precious stones: Suze – “lily”, Margaret – “pearl”, Laura – “laurel”, Yvonet – “yew tree”, etc.

Fashion trends

For several years, Emma and Marie have been in the TOP of the most popular female Belgian names. In Flanders, names such as Nora and Eliza are very common, in Wallonia - Lea and Aya. However, fashion is very fleeting, and what little Belgian girls will be called in the near future is still unknown.

Belgian female names

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

Sincerely – Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

State in Northwestern Europe. Population: 11,242,781 (2015 estimate). The capital is Brussels. It borders the Netherlands, Germany, Luxembourg and France. It is washed by the North Sea in the northwest.


Belgium is divided into three regions, two of which are divided into provinces: the Flemish Region, the Walloon Region, and the Brussels-Capital District. In parallel, Belgium is divided into three linguistic communities: the Flemish Community (Flemish District and Brussels-Capital District), the French-Speaking Community (Walloon District and Brussels-Capital District), and the German-Speaking Community (part of the province of Liege).


The two main ethnic groups are the Flemish (about 60%, speak Dutch and its many dialects) and the Walloons (about 40%, speak French, Walloon and several other languages). The predominant religion is Roman Catholic, but there are many Muslims, Anglicans, Protestants, and Jews.


The main source for statistics on names in Belgium is data from Statbel, the website of the Directorate General for Statistics and Economic Information (abbreviation in Dutch - ADSEI, in French - DGSIE). His website has a section dedicated to first and last names. This information is fully presented in Dutch and French. It is available for downloading to your computer in Microsoft Excel spreadsheet format.


The Statbel website provides various statistics on personal names. There are frequency lists of names with a frequency of at least 5 of all residents for 2013 - in the context of Belgium and each of the three districts. This list contains 18,562 male and 22,294 female names. Statistics of names among three age groups are also given: under 18 years old, from 18 to 64 years old and over 65 years old. In the first age group most frequent male name Belgians – Thomas in the second group - Marc, in the third - Jean. Among women under 18 years of age in Belgium, the most common name is Laura, among Belgian women 18–64 years old – Maria, among women over 65 years old – also Maria.


Another type of name statistics is the names of newborns. Data is available on the Statbel website for years starting from 1995, for names whose frequency is at least 5. These statistics are given by country, three districts, for male and female names.


The given statistics on the most popular names in Belgium clearly reflect the number of Muslims in this country and high level birth rate in their environment. Muslims now make up a quarter of Brussels' population and make it the most Muslim city in Europe. The majority of Muslims in Belgium come from Morocco (70%) and Turkey (20%).


The high percentage of Muslims in Belgium is also reflected in naming statistics. In the top 20 male names for newborns in the Brussels-Capital Region in 2014 we find names typical for Muslims Mohamed, Ali, Amir, Ibrahim, Imran, Youssef, women's Amina, Assia, Aya, Malak, Maryam, Nour, Salma and others. Top 20 names Sarah And Sara can equally be traditional for both European Belgians and Muslim Belgians.


I will show you the 20 most common names of newborns in 2014 and the 20 most common names of all Belgian citizens.
