Mongolian male names and meanings - choosing the best name for a boy. Buryat and Mongolian names Groups of Mongolian names

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character, aura and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that in culture there are poetic interpretations of what they mean female names, in reality, the influence of the name on each girl is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Attempts to use astrology are no longer applicable; astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Christmastide calendars, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real assistance in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

Popular lists, happy, beautiful, melodious female names are essentially generalizations, and completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, and soul of the child.

Beautiful and modern Mongolian names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, influence of a name on business, influence of a name on health, psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of the character, energy structure, task for life and gender of a particular child.

Name Compatibility Topic(and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns the interaction inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

Meaning of the name does not give full impact, it is only a small part of the impact. For example
Zhargal (happiness) does not mean that the girl will be happy in family life, and bearers of other names are unhappy. The name can weaken her health, block her heart center and she will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another girl will be helped to solve problems related to love or family, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third girl may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics. And the same name. But fates are different.

The most popular Mongolian names for girls are also misleading. 95% of girls are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on the child’s innate character, spiritual vision and the wisdom of a specialist. And experience, experience and once again the experience of understanding what is happening.

The secret of a woman's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of a name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

MONGOLIAN TRADITIONS

About some Mongolian proper names

The names of the Mongols are interesting and distinctive in their origin and meaning. Their features and origin were repeatedly mentioned in their works by many oriental scholars, A.M. Pozdneev, Yu.N. Roerich. Mongolian names reflect the customs, worldview, traditions, way of life, various cultural and historical factors, and religious ideas of the Mongolian people.

A personal name has a great and symbolic meaning for the Mongols, which is enhanced by its rare use in Everyday life surnames and patronymics (scientific degrees, military ranks, etc. are almost more often used together with a personal name). Mongolian names and names that came through the Mongols are used not only in Mongolia: until the middle of the 20th century, they absolutely prevailed over names of other origins among the Kalmyks, Buryats and Tuvans, partly Altaians and other peoples of Southern Siberia in Russia, and still prevail in areas of China inhabited by Mongols, both among the Mongols and among the Buryats, Oirats, and partly Evenks. A number of surnames around the world are derived from Mongolian names.

Mongolian personal names, due to their specificity, also represent rich material for the history of the Mongolian language. Because they are capable of “preserving” certain linguistic phenomena for a long time, which attracts a lot of attention from researchers.

GROUPS OF NAMES

The role that Christian culture (which originated in the Middle East and came to Rus' through Rome and Byzantium) played for the Russians was played by Buddhist culture for the Mongolian peoples. Buddhism came to the Mongols from India indirectly through Khotan and Tibet. Personal names reflect both the proper Mongolian ancient culture, as well as the cultural and religious influence of Buddhism, primarily its Tibetan tradition.

By origin Mongols have distinct names: actually Mongolian; Mongolian, which is a translation from Tibetan; combined Mongolian-Tibetan and Mongolian-Sanskrit; Tibetan; Indian. A small percentage historically consists of Chinese, Turkic and Russian names associated with mixed marriages, political courses, etc.


By composition. Since the late Middle Ages (approximately from the 17th century), names from two significant components, disyllabic (in the old written spelling), or a combination of disyllabic and monosyllabic (example: Tsagaan “white” + Dorj “vajra” = Tsagaandorzh or Dorjhuү “vajra”) have become significantly popular +well done"). There are also three-component and even four-component names[source?].


By social status. The name may indicate that its bearer is a hunter, a reindeer herder (names associated with wild animals), a simple herder from the wilderness (short, although often Tibetan); a person from a family where the history of Mongolia (names of khans and statesmen) or the teachings of Buddha (names of Buddhist teachers, deities, sacred books) is valued most highly.


By function names can serve as a talisman, for example, in a family where children often died or a newborn (up to 3 years old) child was sick, he was given a name that did not attract evil spirits: Enabish (not this one), Terbish (not that one), etc. For identification in the absence of surnames, all children in the family were often given names with the same first component: Tumenbaatar, Tumenolziy, Tumendelger.

PERSONAL NAME

Studying Mongolian anthroponyms, one can observe that words denoting a wide variety of objects and concepts can fall into their category. This means that the personal names of the Mongols arose on the basis of a rethinking of common nouns. The overwhelming majority of Mongolian personal names are absolutely identical, structurally and phonetically, with those common nouns from which proper names were formed. Most often, words that are emotionally rich, which are the names of attractive objects, words that serve to designate objects of material and spiritual world person.

The original personal names of the Mongols arose in ancient times. If women's names symbolize beauty, majesty, kindness, meekness, then men's names mainly express strength, courage, courage and bravery.

BUDDHIST NAMES

Among Buddhist names there are groups of synonymous names: from Skt. vajra comes from Ochir (borrowed through the Sogdian and Uyghur languages), Bazaar (via Tibetan), Dorj (Tibetan translation of the word vajra, in Russian usually rendered Dorzhe, Dorje), from ratna (jewel) - Erdene, Radna, Rinchen (Tibetan translation) etc. Each of these options can exist independently, or be one of the components in multi-component names: Ochirbat (-bat in Mongolian means “strong”, also found separately: Bat, Batu/Batu), Bazarhuү (-khuү “well done”), Khanddorzh (the first part in this case is also Tibetan), etc.

Some of the names come from the names and images of the Buddhist sacred canon: Zhadamba (Eight Thousand, Prajnaparamita Sutra in 8000 stanzas), Ganzhuur, Danzhuur, Altangerel (“golden light”, in honor of the Sutra of the Golden Light), possibly Badamtsetseg (lotus flower). The last example is significant in that this is a female name, derived from the name of a flower, but the name of the lotus (Sanskrit padma) (and its symbolic meaning) brought by Buddhism.

The names of the statuses of clergymen can also become names: Bagsha, Khuvrag, Bandi, Khamba, Khutagt

Recently, according to statistics, Mongols began to increasingly abandon foreign names, including Tibetan. Today residents are given names with special features national tradition and history.

MONGOLIAN NAMES RELATED TO PLANT NAMES

Let's take a closer look at the names associated with the names of plants. These are mostly female names. Wishes for girls - to become beautiful, attractive, gentle - form a large group of names derived from the names of plants, for example: Sarnai - Rose, Khongorzul - Tulip, Zambaga - Magnolia, Saikhantsetseg - Beautiful flower, Bolortsetseg - Crystal Flower, Munkhnavch - Eternal Leaf, etc.

Female personal names may indicate a relationship to a plant: Urgamal (Plant), Navch, Navchaa, Navchin (Leaf), Delbee (Petal), Navchtsetseg (Leaf-flower), Alimtsetseg (Apple Flower), etc.

There are personal names indicating the time of birth of the baby: Davaatsetseg (Monday-flower), Byam-batsetseg (Saturday-flower), Personal names of Mongolian women can also express the situation in which the child was born: Amartsetseg (Calm flower), Uugantsetseg ( First flower).

Children's names can be associated with the mood or wishes of the parents: Bayartsetseg (Flower-Joy), Tumentsetseg (ten thousand flowers), Tsetsegzhargal. (Flower of Happiness), Goyotsetseg (Beautiful Flower). Names such as Munkhtsetseg - Eternal Flower, Enkhtsetseg - Peaceful Flower, express wishes for long life and health. Wishes of happiness, success in life, prosperity were reflected in following names: Bayantsetseg - Rich flower. Buyannavch -L ist benefactor, Urantsetseg - Skillful flower, Battsetseg - Strong flower.

The desire to see your girls graceful and attractive is contained in the names Khongorzul Tulip, Oyuunnavch - Turquoise Leaf, Ariun-tsetseg - Sacred Flower.

Since ancient times, the Mongols have attached sacred symbolism to various colors. Perhaps in connection with this, personal names denoting colors appeared: Tsagaantsetseg - White color ok, Yagaantsetseg - Pink flower, Ulaantsetseg - Red flower, etc. IN color symbolism the color red acts as a symbol of love, so the personal name Ulaantsetseg can mean “Favorite Flower.” White color, as you know, is considered by the Mongols to bring happiness and prosperity, which means that Tsagaantsetseg is a “Lucky Flower”.

And, finally, personal names may indicate the relationship to the material: Erdene-tsetseg - Precious flower, Suvdantsetseg - Pearl flower, Mungunnavch - Silver leaf, Shurentsetseg - Coral flower, etc.

Among the personal names listed above, the most popular, frequently occurring word is “tsetseg” - flower. As you can see, this word, which is included in personal names with a complex structure, mainly expresses a positive emotional connotation and an affectionate connotation.

It is appropriate to note here that in male names plant names are extremely rare. For example: Gond - Cumin, Arvay - Barley, Undes - Root.

Among the Mongolian personal names associated with the names of plants, there are the names foreign origin. For example, Sanskrit personal names include Udval (Green-leaved Catchment), Badma (Lotus), Chinese - Lianghua (Lotus), Tibetan - Ninjbad gar (Bather), Serzhmyadag (Poppy), Zhamyanmyadag (Sosyuriya), etc.

EXTRAORDINARY NAMES

Mongols most often give unusual names to children who are sick at a young age, - it is believed that this will help the child recover. The most common names are Byaslag - cheese, Tugal - calf, Ongots - airplane. Names that are derived from the names of flowers are often abandoned - flowers are not eternal. For a person to live happily ever after, they give long name- for example - Luvsandenzenpilzhinzhigmed. People often turn to the lama for advice.

NAME NAME

The name can be given by a Buddhist priest, checking the horoscope, parents, elder relatives, based on the date of birth, good and bad omens, agricultural season, tribal and family origin, memory of ancestors, events in the country and abroad, etc.

Children are usually given names in honor of older relatives, famous lamas, Buddhist deities and saints, sometimes a new name is invented in connection with a specific situation. After the collapse of the Soviet system, the names of the khans of the Mongol Empire gained popularity.

Of particular note is the custom of co-naming twins. The birth of twin children among the Mongols is interpreted as a positive phenomenon, which is reflected in their indispensable co-naming: if both girls are Badraltsetseg (“Inspiration is a flower”), Orgiltsetseg (“Top is a flower”), if a boy and a girl are Unur (Rich) and Unurtsetseg (Rich Flower), etc.
Readers obviously noticed that there is no grammatical category of gender in personal names. In contrast to Russian, Mongolian female and male personal names differ only lexically.

PATRONICAL NAME, SURNAME

Until the beginning of the twentieth century, the name of a well-born Mongol consisted of three parts: family name, patronymic, personal name. Under socialism, family names were prohibited “to eradicate the feudal heritage,” and only patronymics and personal names were used, the latter being a person’s identifier. For example, the name of the astronaut Gurragcha (Zhugderdemidiin Gurragchaa) (mandatorily first the patronymic, which is a name in the genitive case, then the name) can be abbreviated as Zh. Gurragchaa, but not Zhugderdemidiin G.

Since 2000, surnames have come back into use in Mongolia; partly they represent former generic names, but people do not always take as a surname the generic name that their ancestors bore before the revolution; it may be forgotten, it may be absent due to simple origin. The most common among Mongols is that Mongols belong to the Borjigin clan (Mongolian Borzhgon), which is a source of pride, but as a surname it does not make an individual family unique. Many people invent surnames according to their occupation. Thus, the already mentioned cosmonaut Gurragcha took the surname Sansar (translated as “space”)

THE MOST COMMON MONGOLIAN NAMES

The most common names are Solongo, Bat-Erdene. Such people are often given middle names to make it more convenient.

S. Nyamtsetseg, specialist of the Main Directorate of Civil Registration: “These are the most common names and the shortest throughout the country. About 10 names are widely used in Mongolia. For example, 13,395 citizens with the name Bat-Erdene are registered.”

There are also 11,029 Otgonbayars and 10,536 Batbayars registered. The rating of the most popular female names was headed by Altantsetseg and Oyuunchimeg.

While the child is not yet born, the parents come up with a name for him. Names of Mongolian origin in Lately are becoming popular even among the Russian-speaking population. The mystery of the name carries many meanings. It is believed that the child’s fate largely depends on the name he receives. Therefore, psychologists recommend choosing a name responsibly.

The history of the appearance of Mongolian names

Name formation in Mongolia has always been distinguished by its simplicity, regardless of whether they are Mongolian names for boys or girls. Over the last 7 centuries, they have not undergone any changes and consist of a personal name, which the baby receives from its parents, and a surname, which is inherited from the father to the children. If problems arose, the Mongol could change his name, well, and if there were no compelling reasons, then he remained with him until his death.

Only by the middle of the 13th century did a mention appear in literature that Mongolian male names were also accompanied by nicknames. For example: Duva-Sokhor (Duva translated from the Mongolian language is blind, that is, it turns out blind Sokhor). Nicknames were used by commoners, and higher ranks and nobility added titles to their names. Personal names such as nor and ovog appear in it.

The Mongolian people have a middle name, but it appears only in documents and not for everyone. Among the people you can hear such an appeal - “Sambu son of Sodnom.” The most ancient names include: Baatar (hero), Timur (wise). They can be found in ancient Mongolian legends and writings. In addition, ancient names are returning now. They try to name a newborn, emphasizing masculinity or the strength of the family.

Particle prefixes for Mongolian names

The older generation is held in high esteem among the Mongols, and therefore it is interesting how the Mongols address the older generation. They definitely add a bit of respect: eme - grandmother, egch - older sister.

If a Russian girl marries a Mongolian, then, at first glance, it is not entirely clear: there is no patronymic or surname. Therefore, most often as a basis new name the wife will take her husband's name or patronymic.

Any name that is given to a baby at birth must be thought out in advance. If a Russian person refers more to the horoscope, the dates of birth of the Saints, then for the Mongolian people everything depends on to what social stratum they relate, and from the need to give the child a beautiful name.
