Old Slavic women's. Russian names - Slavic names - names

Slavic Vedic names. The name is an expression, the purpose of the soul in Reveal

As the ancient Latins said - "nomen est omen". The name is a sign.

“Whatever you call a yacht, so it will float” ...

Unlike foreign names, our names carry deep meaning understandable to every Slav. For example, who can say offhand what the name "Paul" means? And "Kreslav"? “Kresalo”, “kres” (fire) is immediately remembered; fire worshiper.

Distinguishing a Slavic name from a foreign one is very simple: you need to think about whether there are parts of this name in any native word? The Slavs almost did not use the letter A at the beginning of the word, but tried to replace it with other letters I, O, I, and so on.

Personal names starting with this letter, for the most part, are not Slavic, but of foreign origin. Unlike foreign names, our names carry a deep meaning, understandable to every Slav. In Vedic culture, naming is directly related to the evolutionary level of human development. If the khvarna (varna, Zharye body) of a born child corresponds to a clergyman (sorcerer, sorcerer, witch - knowing mother; varna of a brahmana), then his name consists of two roots. And one of the roots is usually “glory” (i.e. glorifying) or “loving” (loving).

For example, "Boguslav" - glorifying God, "Dobroslav" - glorifying goodness; “Lyubomir” is a loving world, “Lybomysl” is a person who loves to think, etc.

The two-root name indicates that this person is twice-born - in the body and in the spirit (acquired Zharye's body).

If Zharye's body corresponds to a warrior-knight (varna kshatriya), then the child is also given a two-root name, which usually has the roots "peace", "vlad".

For example, "Branimir" - fighting for peace, "Tvorimir" - creating peace-harmony; "Vladduh" - owning the spiritual body, "Vladimir" - owning the world.

If Zharya's body corresponds to the weight (orachi-peasants, varna vaishyas), then the name has only one root, and if smerdu (shudra), then a simple nickname is given.

Names are domestic, communal, spiritual, secret, deceptive. In the modern name book, out of 150 names, only 15 are actually Slavic, the rest are of a different origin (For example, Sergey is a Roman generic name with the meaning “clear, highly esteemed”; Fedor is Greek: “gift of God”).

The Slavs also had nicknames that complemented the name. Here is one of them: Mazai - the one who smears; or the anointed one himself. Crane - faithful wife, homely, happiness in the house. Fool, Durash, Durov, Fools - Skt. dur - "door"; dur-anta - "infinity". This name and nickname are mysterious, they are rooted in the infinity and chaos of the primordial world (and the world most ancient ancestors), therefore, are characterized by both positive, negative, and deceptive meaning (unrecognized, for example, "to fool"). It is this meaning in the names Fool, Ivan the Fool, Ivanushka the Fool in Russian folk tales. A fool who has a connection (door) with other world ancestors and first ancestors (“grandchildren of Dazhbog”), with the Gods, with the infinity of the cosmos, who understands the language of animals, herbs, elements, is not at all stupid.

A name for every person has great value, it carries all the love of parents and leaves its mark on the formation of the character of the child. The ancient Slavs most often gave names consisting of two words, they invested deep meaning, the same name could serve as a talisman. After the adoption of the Christian faith, the first name served to interact with the surrounding people, and the second name was given at the baptism of the baby, and it was secret. The baptismal name was known only to parents, godparents and the person himself, it protected its owner from the influence and suggestion of evil. All names were selected based on the sex of the baby, so there are old Russian names for men and women, in fact, as elsewhere. It is not possible to cover the entire list of names in one article, so in this article we will consider the Old Russian names of boys. Let's first figure out what the name meant for the Slavs and how it was chosen.

When people began to unite in groups, for example, tribes or communities, they realized that it is much easier to exist in a company, and not alone. Each group of people has always had a leader, and he had to properly build the life of the tribe. But there was a difficulty in interacting with an individual member of society, and not with the whole group. An ancient man began to call out to another according to some noticeable features of appearance, whether it be hair color or the presence of a beard, according to character traits or special skills. That's how the names came about. Later, surnames began to appear on the same principles as mena. For example, a family lives where blacksmithing is the predominant activity, others called them blacksmiths, then the blacksmiths were transformed into Kuznetsovs, and so the surname was passed from generation to generation.

The pagans tried to call children by names that personified any desirable qualities in a child. It was believed that by giving a child a name with a certain meaning and qualities, a person would be endowed with them in the future. The name for boys was especially carefully chosen, because boys have always been more desirable than girls, they are the successors of the clan, bearers of strength and wisdom, future heads of the family and leaders of the tribe. old Slavic names for boys were thought out with special care. Old Russian male names were often derived from the names of animals in order to endow their carrier with the qualities of this animal. For example, the names Aliter (Uzbek name), Babar (India) and our Russian - Lev. I think that it will not be difficult to guess from the name of which animal this name came from. Or the well-known wolf and its derivatives: Wolf, Wolf, Wolfgang and others.

By the way

Names were also formed from the names of plants or the names of ancient gods and goddesses. Names formed from participles, such as Zhdan, Khoten and others, were very common.

First, Old Russian male names were invented, and from them the female form of the name was already formed. For example, Vladimir is a female form named after Vladimir, Mstislav is a female form named after Mstislav, etc. Slavic male names were endowed with great power, full list which are very difficult to find, only a few have reached modern man. But, in fact, by the way the Old Slavonic male names were, one can judge the way of life of the people in Ancient Rus' and about what was important for the Slavs in those days. Names are a huge layer of history for studying the life, culture, religion and standard of living of our ancestors. Later in the era of the USSR, the names will include brief Soviet slogans and the names / surnames of the leaders of the people.

Slavic names for boys and their meaning

The pagans gave their children two names to protect them from evil spirits. Often the first name was the name by birth number, for example, Elder or Menshak. AT adolescence the child received a life name according to his character traits. After the adoption of Christianity, parents continued to give their children two and a name, and the second one also protected him from evil. But true name it was considered the second, given at the baptism of the baby, the name known to God and the guardian angel. Often, the first Christians called children according to the church calendar, after the name of a saint who was born in the same child with a baby.

After the baptism of Rus', boys were often called the names of saints. Since the first Christians were Jews, the Slavs began to borrow Jewish names, and now these names are already considered primordially Slavic, although this is not entirely true.

Despite the fact that the old Russian names for boys are already outdated, they are gradually coming back into fashion, as modern names have become very frequent and begin to bore young parents. Each person wants to name their child as no one called, so that their baby is different from others, so there is a return to the old, but not forgotten, names.

In any given period of time there is more and less popular names. Moreover, the fashion for them is as changeable as the styles of clothing. The era of Soviet realities with Vladlens, Oktyabrins and Revolutions has long passed. Recently there was a peak in the popularity of foreign names. Now there is a craving for the original Slavic culture, and this is reflected in the fact that parents are increasingly naming their newborns in the same way as their ancestors a thousand years ago, choosing male and female Slavic names.

But most people have misconception regarding this question. If you ask an ordinary person what Slavic female names he knows, then most likely you can hear the answer: "Galina, Maria, Katerina, Anna." But this is not true. These onyms migrated to us from Jewish and Greek, but for long years so immersed in Slavic culture that seem to be autochthonous.

Although the list of known given time the ancient male names are wider, in this article it is the female names that are discussed Slavic origin and their meaning. Linguists draw similar information from ancient chronicles, and men most often appeared there, therefore there is such a difference. But the way the girls were called can tell about the views and beliefs of our ancestors. And now a few words about how they gave a name to a newborn child.

Mystery of Choice

From ancient times in Rus' there were many superstitions in connection with the birth of a child. It was believed that the name can both scare away and attract evil forces. Therefore, in order to protect the child, he was given an ugly name, which indicated imaginary flaws and was supposed to serve as a barrier to all evil spirits. For example, beautiful girl they could call Potvor, Negoda (unfit), Nekras. Like, having heard such a name, evil forces will not covet the already nasty child. In any case, all female names of Slavic origin carried a hidden meaning.

Also, often the child was given two names. One was for general consumption, and the second was considered real, but it was kept secret and reported only to the closest. This was done so that no one could cause damage using a middle name.

Also, our ancestors believed that changing the name entails metamorphoses in a person's life. For example, when a child was sick, they carried him out into the yard, and then brought him back into the hut, saying that he was a foundling, and renamed him, they say, this is no longer Lyubim or Zhdana, but Nenash or Found (Naida). This was done in order to deceive the ailment: the evil forces would think that this was a completely different child, and the illness would recede.

Names from the surrounding natural world

The pagan Slavs believed that each person has his own totem from the world of animals or plants, therefore they sometimes named children after animals, birds, etc. Parents believed that thanks to this, the child would have his own amulet. Hence such female Slavic names as Squirrel, Birch, Crow, Jackdaw, Pear, Zozulya, Willow, Kalina, Maple, Swan, Lybed (that was the name of the famous sister of Kiya, Cheek and Khoriva), Raspberry, Otava (cut grass), Rowan, Magpie. Now these are already distant archaisms, except that the name Kalina is still found in the Carpathian region.

Names indicating the circumstances of the birth of a child or the attitude towards him in the family

Sometimes a girl was named simply after the day of the week, the time of year she was born, or even the weather. Hence the names Friday, Saturday, Winter, Zimova, Spring, Vesnyan, Storm, Thunderstorm. There are even such options: Road (as the circumstances of the resolution from the burden were designated), Dawn (which began life in the morning), Istoma (indicates a difficult birth), Zvezdana, Vechernitsa.

It was also customary to name children, indicating the order of their appearance in the family. Hence such female Slavic names as Pervusha, Vtorusha, Osmusha. But they have not survived to this day as full-fledged onyms, their echo is heard only in surnames. The name Malusha (short form - Mlada) comes from the male name Mal and indicates that the girl is younger than other children in the family.

The following Slavic onyms denote the attitude towards the daughter in the family: Lyubima, Milana, Zhelana, Joy, Delight, Desire, Nezhdana, Bratomila. Their semantics is quite transparent, and the meaning of Slavic female names of this kind does not need to be explained.

Names given by external characteristics

With these names, parents expressed their affection for their daughter and emphasized some distinguishing feature her looks. Here are examples: Snezhana (white-haired), Zlata (on behalf of Zlatovlas), Rusava, Belava, Chernava, Vlasya (having long hair), Sineoka, Blush, Sukhota (thin), Vidana (slim, prominent), Vyshina (high), Velioka (big eyes). Many names are formed from different synonyms for the word "beautiful": Vlada (okay), Krasa, Khoroshava, Nenaglyada, Prelesta, Prekrasa.

Names meaning human qualities

The good character traits of the child were mainly emphasized: Golub (meek), Veselina, Dobrava, Lyubov, Humble, Spark (sincere), Smeyana, Blaginya (kind), Boyana (fighting, courageous), Verna, Dushana (soulful), Zhilena (tenacious ), Fun (funny, comforter), Dream (dreamer), Much (capable), Domna (economic). Sometimes the name hinted at some shortcomings: Vetran (windy), Vlasta (loving power), Vereshchaga (talker), Buyana (violent), Neulyba, Nesmeyana, Sonya, Crybaby. Such Slavic female names were often assigned not immediately after birth, but a little later, when the character was already noticeable.

Dual base names

This base group. Such names are formed from two stems that are connected by a vowel. For example, Bogomila comes from the phrase "dear to God." The following are female Slavic names formed in this way:

  • Bogdana - given by God.
  • Vedislava - glorifying knowledge (knowledge).
  • Vsemila - dear, beloved by all.
  • Vladimira - who owns the world.
  • Vojislava is truly glorious.
  • Gorislava - burning in glory.
  • Dobromila - kind and sweet.
  • Dragomira is more precious than the world.
  • Dobrovlada - possessing kindness.
  • Dobrolyuba - loving kindness.
  • Zvenislav - announcing glory.
  • Krasimira - coloring the world.
  • Lubomira - loving peace.
  • Mstislav - glorifying revenge.
  • Radislava - caring about the world.
  • Radoslava - caring about glory.
  • Svetlozara - illuminating everything with light.
  • Svyatoslav - holy glory.
  • Tikhomira is quiet and peaceful.
  • Yaroslav - glorifying the sun (Yarilo).

The most popular female Slavic names

Now, few people will call their daughter Pribyslava or Krasnomira. Many of those names already seem to be something very distant and out of date. But still there are those who have survived to this day, retaining their original form. They are widely used in the 21st century. If you need to name 5 female Slavic names that have not lost their relevance, then it is worth remembering the following: Svetlana, Nadezhda, Lyubov, Vera, Lyudmila. Their semantics are transparent, each of them is simple and understandable.

Perhaps the fashion for male and female Slavic names will return, and they will slowly replace borrowed foreign ones, or perhaps not. But be that as it may, if parents want to give their daughter a rare and unusual name, then they have a wide field of choice among the ancient names of our ancestors.

In ancient times, people believed that there was a magical connection between a person and his name. It was believed that without knowing the main name, it is impossible to harm a person. Therefore, children were often given two names: the first - deceitful, known to everyone, and the second - secret, which only the closest knew. The secret name was hidden to protect the child from the evil eye and evil spirits. A false name was sometimes deliberately made unattractive to deceive evil spirits.

In adolescence, a rite of re-naming took place. The young man was named in accordance with the pronounced traits and character traits that were manifested by this time.

History of occurrence

In the pre-Christian era, Slavic names reflected the meaning attached to the naming. Usually the name carried positive energy and expressed the hopes and wishes of the parents. There are several options for the origin of Slavic names:

  • From weather events(Frost, Vetran), time of day (Sumorok, Zoryan).
  • From natural world: fish (Ruff, Catfish), animal (Wolf, Hare), bird (Eagle, Nightingale, Raven).
  • According to the qualities of a person (Clever, Dobryak, Molchan, Tishilo). By character traits: Brave (brave, brave), Veselin (cheerful, mischievous), Offended (touchy).
  • By external features(Kudryash, Mal, Chernysh). Strong Old Slavic boys could be called: Dubynya (strong, like an oak), Gorislav (steady, like a mountain).
  • Names from verbs, adverbs (Zhdan, Hoten, Found, Daren).
  • In order of birth: numerals (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak, Shestak, Nine), and ordinal (Senior, Menshak).
  • From pagan gods (Veles, Yarilo).
  • Negative names were chosen to protect against the evil eye (Likho, Malice, Nezhdan, Fool), or as a reflection physical handicaps(Kriv, Nevzor, ​​Nekras).
  • By occupation, profession - Kozhemyaka, Warrior, Peasant. These names look like nicknames, but in fact they are confirmed by surviving documents.
  • Names derived from the names of other peoples. From the ancient Germanic names Khrodrik, Ingvarr, Helg came the ancient Russian Rurik, Igor, Oleg.
  • Compound or dibasic names composed of two roots united by a connecting vowel.

Dibasic

Most of the Old Slavic names are represented by complex two-base names. One root of such a name determined the qualities (strength, power, power, love), and the second root showed the scope of their application (everyone, people, goodness, gods, army). The inherent meaning of such names can be determined intuitively by ear. For example, Bogomil - dear to God, Vsemil - dear to everyone, Kazimir - seems to show the world.

The propensity for military art was transmitted by names with military roots - regiment, howl-, rati-:

  1. Yaropolk.
  2. Ratibor.
  3. Ratislav.
  4. Vojislav.

Those inclined to the study of spiritual sciences added the root of the holy:

  1. Svyatoslav.
  2. Svyatomir.

Positive qualities determined the roots of kindness, cuteness, joyfulness, loveliness:

  1. Lubomir.
  2. Dobrogost.
  3. Radolyub.

Some meanings are already difficult to determine by sound, because the meanings of words have changed. For example, the root fat meant abundance, wealth:

  1. Zhiroslav.
  2. Domazhir.

The root -ostr (sharp) meant brave:

  1. Ostromir.
  2. Wit.

The root - Slav spoke about the princely origin of the name and the upper class. Artisans and peasants had the same names with simple suffixes and endings: -l(o), -yat(a), -sh(a), -n(ya):

  1. Dobroslav - Dobrynya, Dobryata.
  2. Putislav - Putyata, Putyata.
  3. Stanislav - Stanilo.
  4. Mstislav - Mestilo, Mistyasha.

Evolution

Many names of ancient Slavic men were lost after the arrival of Christianity in Rus'. To replace the Slavic pagan gods with Christianity came one God . With a change in faith, there was a rejection of names that included the names of the old gods (Yarilo, Veles). Some of the ancient Slavic names were banned by the Christian Church.

Old Slavonic names replaced the names from the Bible (Greek, Jewish, Roman and others). After the adoption of Christianity, children began to be named after Orthodox saints. For instance ancient name Ivan, which formed the basis of many folk tales and seems to be primordially Russian, came from the Hebrew name John, and appeared after the baptism of Rus'.

Some of the ancient Slavic names remained in use, like worldly household names, they called the child in the family circle. Some of these names gradually evolved into nicknames.

Many ancient names formed the basis of surnames (Nezhdan - Nezhdanov, Volk - Volkov, Nevzor - Nevzorov, Nekras - Nekrasov, Molchan - Molchanov, Hare - Zaitsev, Tretyak - Tretyakov, Zloba - Zlobov, Putyai - Putin, Orel - Orlov, Ersh - Ershov).

Some of the Slavic names have survived to this day almost unchanged. Vladimir, Stanislav, Vyacheslav, Vladislav - remain popular and modern at the present time. These names were worn by rulers, princes, commanders and governors, so they remained relevant for many centuries. Some of the Old Slavonic names were canonized by the church, name days were added to them, these names were included in church calendars and remained in use:

  • Vladimir.
  • Bogdan.
  • Vsevolod.
  • Vladislav.
  • Yaroslav.
