The boys' names are modern. Beautiful, modern, Russian male names

In many patriarchal peoples, the clan line was traced from father to son, so the child’s name was one of the ways to show the uniqueness of both the boy and the clan. Echoes of these traditions can be heard in our language today, when English, other European and eastern, for example, Muslim names come to Russian male names.

Russian names for men include several large “blocks” - these are both ancient Slavic and Orthodox (including Jewish, Greek, and Latin). Among the names used, you can find Eastern, European, and even American ones.

For men themselves, it is rarely of interest what their name means; fathers usually choose a name for a child, for a boy, based on personal preferences. This means that a big responsibility in what to name the child falls on the mother - to choose the most beautiful name for her son and convince her husband that it is the one that suits the heir.

Today, you can choose a child’s name from a great variety of options - the list is huge. The most popular ones, for example, lead to the fact that there are immediately four Nikitas or five Daniils in one class. So it’s better not to react to fashion trends, but on your own feelings and knowledge.

It is important that the child’s name is beautiful, euphonious, and combined with the patronymic and surname. You need to understand what kind of history the name has, what its meaning is. 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? Very many of the Russian names are Old Slavonic and Old Russian. They consist of two roots, and their meaning is often clear to us. 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 Church 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.
• - ruler of the world.
• - the one who has (possesses) glory.
• - ruler of the people.
• Vyacheslav is the most glorious.
• Izyaslav - “took”, that is, earned fame.
• Miroslav - glorious in peace.
• Mstislav is a glorious avenger.
• Rostislav is the one whose fame increases.
• Svyatoslav is the one whose glory is sacred.
• Stanislav is the one who became famous, famous, famous.
• - bright and strong.

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

• Bogolyub - one who loves God.
• Boguslav is the one who glorifies God.
• Bozhidar is a gift from God.
• Boleslav is the one who became more famous than others.
• Danislav - giving glory, glorifying (his companions).
• Dobromir is the one who lives in peace and kindness.
• Lubomir is the one who loves peace.
• Miloslav is the one who is famous for his good looks.
• Radomir is the one who rejoices in the world.
• Tihomir is the one who brings silence and peace.
• Jaromir is someone who loves the world in all its cheerful manifestations (many Slavic peoples the sun god was called Yarilo)

It can be seen that ancient Slavic names were also included in the Orthodox calendar. This happened, for example, after their bearers were canonized.

From Greeks to Slavs

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

• Adam is a man.
• Azat is freedom-loving, independent.
• Akaki is one who does no evil.
• - protector of people.
• - protecting.
• Alim is a scientist.
• Anatoly is a man from the East.
• Arkady is a shepherd.
• - courageous man.
• - fighter.
• Valentin is the owner of strong vitality.
• Valery is a big guy.
• Victor is the winner (from “victory” - victory).
• - noble.
• - God's mercy.
• - one of the warriors of the thunder god.
• - sun-like.
• Konstantin is famous for his constancy.
• - one who looks like a lion.
• Luka is light.
• - happy in bliss.
• - a divine gift.
• - godlike.
• - “gatherer” of peoples.
• - heroic.
• - the one who is heard by God.
• - noble, noble.
• - crowned.
• - respectful of God.
• - God's gift.
• Julian is happy.
• Yakov - following on the heels.

These are not all Orthodox Russian names; a complete list of them can be found in the calendar. Ukrainian male names, like Russian ones, include both Orthodox ones from the calendar, and borrowed foreign ones, which have completely taken root in the new soil.

At the same time, both Orthodox and European male names have been 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 calendar that are popular on Ukrainian soil, but are much less in demand in Russia.

These are, for example, Avilo, Auxentius, Agapius, Agapitus, Agathonik, Adrian, Alphius, Bartholomew, Bonifatius, Vavilo, Vakula, Gavrilo, Gordius, Darius, Dorofy, Zeno, Zinovy, Jerome, Capito, Carpo, Kupriyan, Lavrenty, Larion, Miletius, Naum, Nikanor, Ovram, Oleksiy, Omelyan, Paisiy, Paramon, Savatiy, Simon, Titus, Trochim, Theodulus, Fokas, Ialisa.

A true 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 Russia has the Republic of Tatarstan, and large Tatar communities live in the rest of the country. The most popular Tatar names are now used by other peoples.

Here, for example, are the most beautiful Tatar names:

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

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

By approximately the same principle as Tatar ones, beautiful Jewish names are also spreading. Some of them came from the Bible in the calendar, 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 a light for me.
• Eitan is a strong man.
• Elazar - 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 “crooked-nosed.”

But such incidents are very, very rare; it’s unlikely that anyone would want their son’s name to be something 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 other English names - Jack, Dylan, Logan, Ryan, Thomas, Alfie - to the ear of a Russian person do not yet combine very 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 for him! Author: Olga Inozemtseva

When choosing, a number of factors are taken into account: from the time of year to the severity of character. Born in summer the children are active and playful, like a June afternoon. And those born in winter and autumn are more realistic, distrustful and intelligent. So it turns out that choosing a name for a child is very difficult. To help parents, appropriate reference books and name popularity tables are published.

Rare stupidity

What would you never name your child? Can you guess? Some parents experience a strong rampant imagination and “dig out” unusual and rare male names from their memory bins. I wonder if the children will be grateful for such originality?! Last year, names with references to religious prophets were common among newborns. For example, Buddha-Alexander, Master, Angel, Prince and Peace. And someone decided not to worry about the name at all and gave it a double name - Sasha-Alexander. Among the girls, there are also plenty of unusual names: Alena-Flower, Delphine, Fox, Russia or Sunny. Rare male names Chingiz, John, Spartak have become fashionable over the past five years, and many parents, apparently, paid tribute to antiquity by naming their children Luchezar, Altai, Caesar or Hector.
There have been recorded cases in Russia where boys were named Leonardo and Marcus-Aurelius. But in our country, names are still chosen that are more or less acceptable, but abroad there are extremely strange examples. In one family where triplets were born, the names were given after the rooms in the house. This is the kind of stupidity that occurs in the world.

The attractiveness of a male name

Why think about a name, because his beauty is not the main criterion for a guy? Some families choose a name based on religious reasons. For example, Muslims believe that high meaning must keep male names. Very few families continue to adhere to the choice of symbolic names when the choice should please Allah. Usually, when translated, such names are quite modest, not distinguished by pathos.

A striking example would be the name Abdullah. It is translated as “slave of Allah.” This name is for an obedient and pious man who follows all the laws of the Koran. Sometimes the child was called, taking care of him afterlife: they believed that he would be rewarded by his name, and if the child’s name was ugly, then they would pity him and brighten up his life after death.

In America, names with meaning are rarely given, so Native Americans give little thought to this issue. They usually select short and succinct options that go well with the surname, but they do not give a middle name. Beautiful, rare male names are used here only by visitors, and no prejudices arise. In this, our country still lags behind others. Even despite their beauty, Russian people perceive rare male names with caution, shorten them or replace them with more familiar analogues. Now modern medicine has made great strides forward, and it has become possible to find out the sex of a child by early stages pregnancy. Therefore, there is a considerable amount of time to choose the rarest male name. Maybe it’s worth stocking up on special aids in order to make a decision?!

What do the reference books say?

Every year in Russia statistics are compiled on the most chosen names. For example, in 2011 the name Maxim was named the most beautiful and popular. By the way, it is not of Russian origin at all, but boys are called that quite often. This is a name with a specific claim to the position of leader. Maxim grows up to be a reliable and calm guy, moderately cheerful and hard-working. He is a perfectionist at some points, but rarely proves capable of the humanities.

Alexander, Andrey and Alexey regularly appear in the rankings of the most popular names. But they are not suitable if you are interested in rare male names. The list of Russian variants is rarely added to. Will you ever meet Svyatogor or Ingvar now? No, the most common names are Byzantine, Greek and Arabic. Now Kuzma, Arkhip and German are out of fashion. They became archaic, just like Leo, Myron, Aristarchus. Let's try to put together rare male names.

List: Russian and foreign options

In order for a child to like a name, you need to choose it according to its euphony. For example, the combination of two roots in a word gives the sum of beautiful and sonorous rare male names: Yaropolk, Yaroslav, Svyatoslav. It is noticeable that the options are similar, they are easy to confuse, but they are majestic and courageous.

Abroad, by the way, names are not always very different either. Among Muslims, you almost never see the previously popular Abbas, Abdulmajid, Abdulwahid or Abudlhamid. Such guys grew up strong, strong and pious, which was especially valued in the old days.

Among the English in Lately rare male names - Jacob, Michael, Joshua, Matthew, William, David. Once upon a time, their carriers were a dime a dozen, but times change, and with them the tastes of people.

In Germany, rare male names are Lucas, Luca, Tim, Leon, Max or Jan. If you name your boy this way, then there is little chance of meeting his namesake.

Previously, in Georgia they really liked to call boys with the letter “A”, but now Hmayak, Abig, Arsen, Artem or Argishti are rare male names. Modern children do not want to be named after their ancestors. Therefore, names with a cluster of consonants or difficult pronunciation are not particularly popular.

Calm and beauty

So how not to make a mistake with the most important choice in life for your child? Convene a consultation on this issue or make a decision by chance? In reference books you can select suitable male names. List rare variants supplemented only when they are particularly successful and remain relevant. The bulk disappears in the past. For example, they have become the talk of the town, but in reality they do not occur Armenian names Ashot, Bagram, Zurab or Vakhtang. The French Alar, Jean and Jacques, Baptiste or Honoré have not been used for a long time. In Italy, beautiful rare male names Enrico, Giovanni, Silvio and Vittorio belong to public figures or have become stage names.

There is a trend towards adoption Russian performers pseudonyms American origin. For example, one of the rappers is called Dominic, and the hero of the youth series is called Michael. Choosing a name at a conscious age is very different from how this process occurs at birth. Parents are faced with hundreds of options, but they cannot wait for the child’s opinion. Often parents look for beautiful male names (Russian) in books. Few families remember their roots and name their children in honor of their great-grandfathers. Naming a child with a proven and old name is somewhat beneficial, because it is clear that the meaning cannot be negative, otherwise the name would have long gone out of use. When choosing exotics, you have to delve into reference books. What if the chosen option has a terrible meaning? Will the child thank you for this?

Rare, but accurate

If the parents showed imagination and named the child something that others had not thought of before, then the boy’s life will be bright. He is unlikely to have a person with the same name around him. But the name should be euphonious, because there was a time when it was believed that terrible names protected children from evil spirits. Now beautiful things are gradually coming back into fashion, but forgotten name Renat. The male name Demid remains very peculiar, but very beautiful. Also interesting are the options Rafil and Albert. Do you want to give your child a blissful and clear name? Then maybe Svetozar or Nazariy will suit you. They will not go well with a short and capacious surname long names, for example Innocent, Christopher or Cornelius. But even in Russia the beautiful name Christian will be relevant and fashionable.

Specific choice

Even the most original name can be digestible if you find an interesting abbreviation for it. It is unlikely that parents will give a name to their child in the hope that he will replace it with a nickname. The shortened version is not a nickname, but a convenient pronunciation. With such an attitude, the archaic but noble names Kondrat, Bronislav, Lavrentiy, Veniamin or Vissarion can receive a second life. When choosing, you should not pay attention to options with a pronounced national flavor. For example, most beautiful name Suleiman can only harmonize with the corresponding surname. Exactly the same problems will arise with the names Odysseus, Vivien, Vakhtang or Stefan.

Message in meaning

Parents always believe that their child will become more serious, successful and significant than themselves. They spare no effort or money for this. The first serious step, which depends on the parents, is choosing a name. What do you want from your child? So that he would be kind and bright? Then it makes sense to understand the “solar” names, such as Helian or Helium, or maybe Mai. The name Damir gives the child peace-loving qualities. Innocent embodies innocence and purity of soul, Luxen brings light, and Hilarion brings joy. A boy named Milad will be sweet and kind, and Miron will amaze with his kindness. The cute child can also be called Milius. Those who want to express their attitude towards the baby can use the Radim (“native”) option.

Strength and Masculinity

A number of names are designed to emphasize the vitality of the owner and his masculinity. Do you want your son to be courageous? Give him something beautiful and ancient name Arseny. Or maybe Leonard to be strong?

The names Ovid (“savior”), Staly (“firm”), Nicephorus (“bringer of victory”) or Miroslav (“victor”) remain very pretentious. Such a peaceful and pleasant-to-hear name Leonid characterizes the boy as a “son of a lion,” and the now rather rare name Marsen means “warrior.”

With God in the heart

The conversation about religious names has already taken place, but modern parents I don’t want to focus only on the divinity of the name. Let beauty and kindness be combined in one word. For example, Yang is the “sun god”. Such a boy will grow up to be self-confident, responsible and kind. Good character Matvey will have it, it’s not for nothing that he is a “man of God.” And Benedict is truly “blessed.” By no means rare, but the names Oscar (“God’s spear”) and Bogdan (“given by God”) remain very original. The name “Jacob” seems to many to carry elements of blasphemy, because it means “one who imitates God.”

For the powers that be

For any parent, his child is the best and most worthy. Aren't you afraid to develop pride in your son? Then choose among the royal names. They are beautiful and symbolic. A boy with such a name will not become a subordinate or an eternal second place. It is aimed only at first places. Velimir will become the “ruler of the world,” and Aristarchus will strive to become the “head of the best.” Eruslan is a potential “lion” who has reclaimed his possessions. Voldemar will become the “famous ruler,” but Witold is closer to nature, and he feels like the “head of the forest.”

Last step

So, how do you make a decision if the choice is dizzying? First, we must take into account all the facts, wishes and intentions. Secondly, you need to find out the meaning of the names you choose. Well, thirdly, even the most ideal name may turn out to be irrelevant after the first glance at your child. After all, he is the most chief critic and the person concerned. The first impression of it will indicate all the pros and cons of the chosen names. If it seems absurd to you to give your baby a rare or outdated name, then listen to your inner voice and abandon this idea. Let better name will be consonant with the surname, capacious and beautiful. Many people settle on simpler options, realizing that names like Volodar or Epifan only strain their ears and cause rejection. It is important not to go overboard in the search for exotic things, otherwise the child may find the only way out is to change his name upon reaching the age when this action is permitted.
