Forgotten names. Forgotten and rare female names and their meaning

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 magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic 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.

Pay attention! 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 and 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 are not yet able to cope with the growing influx of “Cheating for profit” madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

When choosing names for girls, parents focus on the unusual and beautiful sound, as well as its meaning. According to experts, they are doing the right thing because the name leaves an imprint on a person that will influence the course of his life. Use the hints, characteristics and meanings of names that are presented in this article.

If you look at different time periods, girls were more often given names in accordance with fashion. This was not always the case; in ancient times there were certain superstitions about this. Parents strictly followed them; how truthful they are is not for us to judge, but it’s still worth listening:

It was believed that one should not name a daughter after the person who lives with the child. For example, if your mother or grandmother's name is Maria, you should not give the same name to your daughter (granddaughter). Midwives and old-timers said the following about this: “An angel will not be able to simultaneously patronize both family members with the same name.” Today this belief has become obsolete.
There was also a concealment of the name of a newborn to protect him from damage (the evil eye). The parents were in no hurry to notify everyone about the name of their daughter. Some people deliberately change their name at baptism so that it is not known to strangers. Modern parents rarely pay attention to this fact, telling in advance about the name of their unborn child.
There was a strict ban on using the name of deceased relatives, in particular at a young age. It was believed that early departure other world - bad sign, fate may repeat itself. They were especially afraid to give the name of relatives who committed suicide (hanged people and drowned people). This belief now brings a smile, but previously it was feared.
Another superstition concerns changing a name; it is given only once. Regardless of age, when it changes, a person becomes on the same level as a newborn child. The personal aura is interrupted, a new imprint is applied, and along with it, fate and character change.

Despite superstitions, parents name their daughters in memory of the departed. Church ministers No comments are given on this matter, but they caution that the name of someone who has long since passed away must be given.

Avoid baby girl names that belonged to previously deceased children, so that the baby does not inherit the same fate (death).

Choosing a name by horoscope

In anticipation of a new addition to the family, when the gender of the unborn child and the date of birth are determined, it’s time to start choosing a name according to the signs of the zodiac. It is best to give preference to options that emphasize the girl’s best character traits and smooth out the negative ones. No horoscope will give you perfect information about a person’s character and destiny. In the background good value There will always be negative information.

If the vibrations between the date of birth and the choice of name coincide at the level of zodiac compatibility, you don’t have to worry about fate.

Choosing a name depending on the time of year

You can name your daughter using a variety of approaches. Some people prefer to look at horoscopes and stars, while others are interested in giving Russian names for girls. We invite you to get acquainted with another way to choose a name, taking into account the time of year when the baby was born. It turns out that depending on the time of year, the child will inherit some character traits from mother nature:

Girls born in winter were endowed with a strong and resilient character by the harsh climate. To soften these inclinations, it is customary to give gentle and melodious names: Anastasia, Ulyana, Ksenia, Vasilisa, Melanya, Veronica, Tatyana.
Spring is a period of awakening. Babies born at this time grow up gifted, but a lack of confidence does not allow them to be leaders in life. Choosing meaningful name, you can correct their fate: Nika, Marta, Alla, Alexandra, Tamara, Elizaveta, Irina.
Summer puts a special aura on children, they are stronger and healthier. However, in life they are afraid of difficulties, let them know that not everything is so easy. Name your baby after summer or choose english names: Adriana, Augustina, Camilla, Margarita, Olesya, Jennifer (Jenny).
Autumn is a beautiful time, it’s not winter yet, the weather at times resembles the end of summer. Babies born in autumn often grow up smart, receive a good education, and achieve high goals in life. Perhaps they are lucky because of the autumn name: Angelica, Svetlana, Diana, Zlata, Lilia.

Regardless of the date of birth, what a child is named affects his character and destiny. It’s not in vain that these meanings have been studied by astrologers and numerologists for thousands of years. Scientific theories prove that the interpretation of names carries useful information, which is better to listen to.

Rare and beautiful names for girls

Adiba (obedient, polite);
Aziza (priceless);
Galia (beloved);
Jamila (sweet, beautiful);
Isma (pure);

Fariza (playful);
Hannah (happy).

Today, many parents choose the most popular among rare names, in the hope that this will help their daughter in life. The main thing is that it is euphonious, does not “harm” the ear and is well remembered. Otherwise, it will be difficult for the child to adapt at school, among peers and friends.

Fashion for unusual-sounding female names in lately has strengthened its position, more and more parents are attracted to this option. They want their baby to have a special name, not like everyone else, so that the child is different and individual.

Orthodox Russian female names

In order not to deviate from traditions, reviving everything forgotten, many parents choose Old Russian names for their babies. Among them there are some that few people have heard of. In life, they are considered iconic because they are imbued with the aura of the Old Russian spirit. Women are were there before beautiful, smart and brave, they could “stand up” for their man.

What to name a girl

If you are interested in names for a girl, then think about whether the choice you made is suitable for the baby. Its acceptance by society is of no small importance. For a child to live among people, how will they react to an elaborately exotic option? Each is beautiful, but in its own way, in a certain area and for each nationality.

It would be inappropriate to use an Arabic name for a fair-haired girl living in European territory, even if it is very beautiful, melodic and unusual. It is better to focus on the multinational option, which can be selected from the directory. And if you have twin girls, then the search becomes much harder. In such cases, it is recommended to name the baby something consonant with the name of the second child: Ksenia and Semyon, Olga and Oleg, Masha and Misha.

Beautiful double names for girls Anna-Maria, Sofia-Victoria, Olga-Anastasia are gaining popularity. This happens because parents cannot decide on one of the options. Sometimes mothers believe that this will give the baby a couple of guardian angels at once. Psychologists say that such girls can begin to behave double life. To prevent this from happening, the child is given one name, which is registered in the registry office, and a second name at baptism.

Choosing a name for a girl according to the Orthodox church calendar

Orthodox names have different origins - Hebrew, Greek, Latin. This is due to the fact that the Byzantines “collected” all the options they encountered.

Recently, it has become fashionable to name a daughter according to the calendar.

Unusual international names

When choosing a name, you must also look at how it will be combined with the surname and patronymic
The list is, of course, not complete. There are still a lot of options. When choosing a name for your daughter from the list of international ones, you should think about its combination with the surname and patronymic. For example, combinations like Stepanova Adriana Petrovna do not sound very harmonious.
What's the best way not to name a girl?
The daughter's name must first of all correspond to her nationality and religion. To name a Russian girl, for example, Muslim name it would be strange.
It is important that it matches the last name and patronymic. It is better to choose a short name for a long last name and patronymic. For example, Ikonnikova Kira Stanislavovna is easier to pronounce than Ikonnikova Alexandra Stanislavovna.
The future woman will have to bear the name all her life. Perhaps the daughter will become a teacher, educator or director of a large company, and she will often be called by her first name and patronymic. The parents' task is to make sure that the sound does not hurt the ears and is not difficult to pronounce.
It's good when there is a full and shortened form of the name. Parents will definitely want to call their child affectionately, so before giving him a name, they come up with diminutive forms for him.

When naming their daughter, parents must understand: the name is the most important decoration of the girl, which she will wear throughout her life. Stella or Milada? Bazhena or Carolina? Clara or Zoryana? Or maybe just Love? Rare and beautiful names for girls are presented in such abundance that it is difficult not to get confused. But which one is right for your baby, and what is the correct name for your daughter? About this - in our material.

Today, the influence of a woman’s name on her character, quality and life expectancy is studied quite widely. Moreover, the topic is considered by both official science, predictive practices, and magic. It's understandable that many parents want to know how it all works. After all, it is so important to write down on the birth certificate not only a beautiful name, but a happy destiny for your daughter.

The name is determined by the calendar, season, numbers and science

Thus, astrologers compile special horoscopes for newborns, allowing them to determine a successful naming option. Numerologists select the “correct” names by calculating the number of the child’s date of birth. Healers ask nature what unusual name to name a girl: they recommend choosing options based on the time of year and month of birth.

There is also anthroponymy. This is a separate scientific area for studying the history of the emergence and evolution of the full name, the patterns of functioning of its components. In their works, anthroponymic scientists analyze various proper names and identify the most successful combinations of full names.

For believing Orthodox Christians, the most recommended option for naming a girl is according to the calendar. So, the name is given in honor of a saint whose day coincides with the baby’s birthday or falls on the eighth or fortieth day from birth.

How children were named in the old days

Our ancestors took a simpler approach to naming girls. And at the same time, the names of the beauties of that time could have been the most unusual. In Rus', they were selected so that the baby could be distinguished from other family members. For example, Pervusha was the first child. The name reflected her external characteristics: the girl Chernava grew up dark-skinned and had dark hair. And Nekrasa was not born too pretty.

Characteristics or behavior were taken as a basis: Crybaby, Smart girl. The baby was named taking into account the circumstances of her birth. For example, Istoma grew up in families where the mother suffered during childbirth. And Snezhana was born in the cold. It could also indicate the attitude of adults towards the girl: Zhdana, Nezhdana, Lyubava, Darena.

Anna, Maria and Sofia are the three most popular female naming options on the planet. Although sound in different countries they may not be the same because they have many synonyms. For example, Annette, Marie and Sophie live in France. And Hanna, Marichen and Zofa are in Germany.

Many modern female names literally fascinate those around them and make their owner even more attractive. But finding a naming option that you think is interesting is only half the battle. To make a name “play”, you need to consider several points.

Nationality. Nowadays in Russia, children are often given “names” that are unusual for the local culture and traditions. They are borrowed from other countries, religions, mentalities. In some cases this is justified. But in combination with ordinary Slavic patronymics and surnames, it looks strange, to put it mildly. For example, the combination “Gayane Vasilievna Kozlova” is inferior to the combination “Gayane Gasparovna Oganesyan”. This name is suitable for an Armenian girl, but not quite for a newborn Slavic girl. It is also worth considering that in interethnic marriages girls are born whose external features differ from typical Slavic features. Therefore, for mixed-race children, it is also necessary to carefully select the naming option. In Russia, the dark-skinned Masha, whose father is Arab, will always receive increased attention. But Regina or Sabira in this case will be neutral and suitable options.
Surname . Not all families can boast of a rich and strong surname. In such cases, the girl should not choose a name that is too unusual. Judge for yourself: the combination “Malvina Vyrvihvost” will become a double reason for ridicule from peers. The “Natalia Vyrvikhvost” option in this case looks neater. Of course, one can hope that Michelle Goose or Chernava Tuchka will grow up, get married and take the surnames of their other halves. But what if they decide differently? Nowadays, many people believe that changing your name negatively affects your destiny. So, women are afraid to make changes to documents. But even there is a girl who is not superstitious... What if she falls in love with a guy with the last name Flea, Devil, Grave, Slyunin or Pindyur?
Surname . In addition to the national factor, the principle of consonance must also be taken into account. For bulky, long middle names it is worth choosing short names. Otherwise, those around you will break their tongues when addressing the girl. For example, the combination “Sada Ramzullovna” wins over the combination “Vuzhdeniya Ramzullovna”. The same principle applies when comparing the combinations “Vladislava Veniaminovna” and “Nina Veniaminovna”. By the way, a tandem is good, where consonance is read in the name and patronymic. Also winning are the options where the “names” of the daughter and father begin with the same letter: “Angelina Andreevna”, “Irina Igorevna”, “Nora Nikolaevna”.
Forms. What will you lovingly call your daughter? Zoechka, Mashunya, Katrusya, Lelya, Lyubasya... Any feminine address takes official and diminutive forms. But many of them can also be transformed into nicknames. Here you need to understand that children, especially schoolchildren, are cruel. They love to tease each other. So, Anfisa can turn into a Rat, Yulia - into Dulya, and Rose - into Dung.
Fashion. Especially young parents want to be in trend and find a fashionable name for their baby. There are even extreme excesses like the Keyboard, Sarah-Paprika, Simka or Viagra. But in pursuit of originality, think about your daughter’s future. Do you have a neighbor's old lady Dazdraperma? Hardly. Because, having matured, girls, fashionably named after the Soviet May Day, were in a hurry to change this rare name. There are also only a few grandmothers of the Olympics. Yes, and few people know old women with the name Trolebuzin, named according to the principle “Trotsky-Lenin-Bukharin-Zinoviev”.

Psychologists recommend avoiding options with unexpressed gender when naming girls. “Genderless” names Evgenia, Valeria, Alexandra, Alexia can “steal” your baby’s tenderness and girlish charm, hinder her development and female self-identification. Also, you should not name your child after relatives who lived a difficult life and died in agony. And by giving a girl her mother’s name, you increase the risk of competition and misunderstanding in the family.
