Brief energy information characteristics of some names

Anna

The main karmic program named after Anna– this is attachment and dependence on relationships. Throughout life, this program causes problems in relationships with loved ones - parents, children, beloved men.

All Annas are very affectionate, and as a rule, Anna becomes attached to men who are clearly unworthy of attention. Annas usually lead a promiscuous sex life, their genitourinary area is vulnerable to diseases. Many Annas cannot get married. Their acquaintances with men are usually fleeting.

If the girl is named Anna, then there is a high probability that there is or is ripening in the family serious conflict. Usually this is a husband's dissatisfaction with his wife. That is, Anna's father is dissatisfied with her mother. Such a child's soul is attracted to a conflicting family.

Since Anna does not have enough energy, she constantly needs energy replenishment in the form of new experiences - travel, meetings with friends, etc.

The vibrations of this name activate negative karmic programs Firstly. And these programs attract negative events into Anna's life.

The name Anna worsens a person’s karmic achievements and significantly complicates fate. If a person has lived long enough, then under the influence of this name he becomes a pessimist and has many disappointments. This name shakes a woman’s psyche.

Anna needs a mentally healthy environment, reliable, loyal people, friends. But usually there are few or no such people in her environment. Because when they give practical advice on how to act in situations life choice, she doesn’t listen to them, she does it her own way. For which he then pays. He chooses with emotions, not with reason.

The name Anna leaves a tragic, pessimistic imprint on a woman. And therefore does not contribute to her success in life.

Even if you take double name, for example, Anna Maria, it still carries tragedy.

Anna is one of the most unfortunate female names.

Yana

A woman named Yana is haunted throughout her life by a deep subconscious fear. This is a karmic program. This program encourages her to take active steps in making her way in society, career, and business.

Yana has a fairly strong will, increased sexual appetite and a smart head. Her energy is of a masculine type.

In childhood she may be a shy child, but in most cases, as soon as a little strength appears in her muscles, from the age of 8-9, her willpower, pressure, and punchy character begin to manifest themselves more and more to a greater extent. In order to achieve her goal, she can resort to cunning, pushing with her elbows those who interfere with her. Yana's belligerence is quite high.

A woman named Yana is a cunning warrior in a skirt. Where there is a lack of talent, mental abilities, and physical strength, Yana will use cunning, deceit, intrigue. In principle, she is even capable of setting things up for profit.

Women named Yana are rarely beautiful. Therefore, in order to attract a partner, they use psychological tricks, official position and even magic. You must clearly understand that if fate brought you and Yana together, then she will stop at nothing to achieve her goals.

Of course, there are exceptions, but they are very rare. Only a person with very high positive spiritual developments can resist the energy of the name Yana and remain a decent person in every sense of the word.

Yana, unlike Anna, is picky about her sexual partners. And if someone gets into her bed, it will be only because she wanted it.

Yana's lovers are most often men with a pronounced Yin character, or men significantly younger than her.

The man who is next to Yana must be subordinate to her. She wouldn't agree otherwise. Therefore, a strong, self-confident, strong-willed man will not even look at Yana.

Valeria

Valeria– the energy of the name is closer to the masculine type. She can be a leader, but it is very difficult for her. She can succeed as a second person in business, be a good assistant, organizer, and performer. But in your personal life you are rarely lucky. There is some trace of sadness. Because of this, a person almost completely devotes himself to work, to his career.

Agafya

Agathia (Agafia)– this is a material person with reduced intelligence . This name gives many desires, especially of a material nature - money, material well-being. For this reason, a woman with this name will clamp down on everyone around her. It will especially hurt her husband and son if they don’t run away from her. Or they will drink.

Russian modern female names. Modern Russian name book

"What's in a name?" - the poet asked his unknown interlocutor. Humanity has been struggling with this same question, but in a broader sense, for centuries, but the names are in no hurry to reveal all their secrets. Even notorious materialists and skeptics do not choose the first names they come across for their children, thereby recognizing that the name becomes 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 capable of participating in the formation of his character and influencing his future life. In this regard, the famous phrase “What you name a yacht, so it will sail” is often recalled. What can we say about man - a living being connected with the universe by thousands of threads!

Personal names are the object of study of anthroponymy, a branch 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 and meaning. The original meaning of many names was lost in the thick of 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 a psychological portrait of a typical representative of a particular name, because even earlier it was discovered that people with the same name 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. Choosing a name for a child should be conscious, thoughtful, taking into account various factors. In the life of an adult, it is also possible to change a name, so the information presented on our website will be useful not only to those who are looking for a name for a newborn boy or girl. For people who do not intend to change their other “I,” a closer acquaintance with the meaning of names can also bring a lot of benefits - in particular, it can suggest directions for working on themselves, on compatibility with others and fruitful interaction with them.

In this section of our website you can find not only the meanings of names, but also a variety of related information, for example, about name days, lucky days, useful practical advice, excursions into history and much more.
