We often like to imagine what our name would be on English language. For example, Elena - Helen, Eugene - Eugene, Mikhail - Michael, etc. English names are very different from ours. Sometimes, it is even difficult to understand a male or female name in front of you.

If we talk about names in the US and UK, then they consist of personal name(personal name, first name, given name) and surnames(surname, last name, family name). The personal name is given at birth, while the family name is inherited as common name for family. The child can also be given a middle or middle name (middle name). This is an optional name element. A middle name can be given in honor of a saint, relative, family friend, famous person, etc. In writing, the middle name is usually omitted or abbreviated to the initial.

If the son's name is exactly the same as the father's name, the word "Junior" (younger) can be added to the son's name, and "Senior" (senior) to the father's name, to make it easier to distinguish between them.

Until the eleventh century English names served as the only source of personal identification, the British did not have a patronymic. People differed simply by name, and three old Anglo-Saxon names of that period - Edith (Edith), Edward (Edward) and Edmund (Edmund) have survived to this day.

Foreign names in England

Most of the Old English (Anglo-Saxon) names that have come down to us are bibasic: Æðelgar - æðele (noble) + gār (spear), Eadgifu - eād (wealth, prosperity, luck, happiness) + gifu, gyfu (gift, gift), Eadweard - eād (wealth, prosperity, luck, happiness) + weard (guardian, guardian).

Old English names were given to newborns at the christening ceremony. Ancient names were given to children depending on the social status of the family. Norman nobility wore Germanic names- Geoffrey, Henry, Ralph, Richard, Roger, Odo, Walter, William and from Brittany - Alan and Brian (Brian).

The Normans proposed the idea of ​​forming Old English female names from male- Patrick (Patrick), Patricia (Patricia), Paul (Paul), which are used in England to date. Between 1150 and 1300, the number of names in use began to decline rapidly. By the end of the fourteenth century, most of the male population had one of five names: Henry (Henry), John (John), Richard (Richard), Robert (Robert), William (William).

Women's names in the fourteenth century also did not differ in variety: Alice (Alice), Anne (Anne), Elizabeth (Elizabeth), Jane (Jane) and Rose (Rose). Since the personal name was no longer able to individualize one or another member of society, the use of hereditary surnames began, for example, Richard, son of John (Richard, son of John). This process in London proceeded very slowly, moving down the social ladder from wealthy aristocrats to the poor. In the north of England, even at the end of the sixteenth century, many inhabitants still did not have their own surnames.

In the twelfth and thirteenth centuries came into fashion biblical names New Testament:

• Andrew.
• John.
• Luke.
• Mark.
• Matthew.
• Peter (Peter).
• Agnes.
• Anne.
• Katherine.
• Elizabeth (Elizabeth).
• Jane.
• Mary

Common names in 18th century England were John, William, and Thomas, and women's names were Mary, Elizabeth, and Anna. In the 19th century, male names were John, William and James, and female names were Mary, Helen and Anna. In the 20th century, the English fashion for names changed significantly every ten years..

Popular English names of the last 500 years

The Office for National Statistics conducted an unusual English experiment in the field of family history. She studied over 34 million British and Irish birth records from 1530 to 2005 and identified the 100 most popular male and female names.

Modern tendencies

Fashion trends for names are in dynamic motion all the time. New names were born, old ones returned from the distant past, gaining again forgotten popularity, and sometimes the British simply borrowed names from other peoples. England has its own characteristics - the fashion for names is also dictated by the royal family. The names of members of the royal family Harry, William, Elizabeth, George are especially popular with the people. In 2017, the National Statistics Service of the United Kingdom ONS published an annual report that provides data on the names of newborns in 2016.

The leader in this list is the name of the boy Oliver (Oliver), and the female leader is Amelia (Amelia). This championship star couple occupied since 2013. Although in fact, many believe that in London the male name Muhammad is in the first place. If you carefully analyze the list of the best baby names in England and Wales, it seems that this opinion is true.

Muhammad is an Arabic name and has several spellings, so the name Muhammad appears several times in the statistics given. Muhammad ranked 8th, Mohammed ranked 31st, Mohammad ranked 68th, with a total of 7,084 people. And the name Oliver was given to 6623 newborns, so the obvious advantage of Mohammed over Oliver. Representatives of the ONS attribute such popularity of the Muslim name in England to social changes in the country.

Ahead of the ONS, English parenting site BabyCentr released its official version of the 100 Best Baby Names in 2017. The lists are compiled from a survey of over 94,665 parents of newborns (51,073 boys and 43,592 girls). Olivia again took first place in the nomination of female names. This year, the name Muhammad confidently overtook the name of Oliver, taking a leading position. The site also notes that in England they began to give names that are gender-neutral, for example, the name Harley is almost the same name for male and female children.

In a variety of English names, you can find an option for every taste. In this article, we will look at the main English female names and their meanings, and you can safely choose your favorite.

The choice of a name has long been taken seriously. It was believed that the meaning of a name can largely determine the fate of a person and the qualities of his character. But even today, much attention is paid to the meaning of the name and its origin.

Meaning of the name

Before choosing a name for a child, many people want to know what origins the names have and what they meant in their original form.

Let's analyze popular female English names with translation. There may be different versions about their origin and meaning, and it is far from always possible to unambiguously establish the translation - we will give the most established meanings.

• Melanie (Melanie): came from the Greek language and means "dark"
• Florence (Florence): in Latin means "blooming"
• Agatha (Agatha): in Greek meant "good"
• Zoe (Zoe): in Greek meant "life"
• Rebecca (Rebecca): originates in Hebrew and means "to bind, fasten"
• Ruth (Ruth): translated from Hebrew as "friend"
• Barbara (Barbara): from Greek - "alien"
• Amanda (Amanda): derived from the Latin amandus - "worthy of love"
• Victoria (Victoria): translated from Latin as "victory"
• Irene (Irene): in Greek - "peace, tranquility"
• Miranda (Miranda): from the Latin word mirandus ("wonderful")

Some girls' names in English have a transparent origin. Ruby (Ruby) is consonant with the word ruby ​​(ruby) and is of Latin origin with the meaning "red". And the name Harper (Harper), which was worn by the famous American writer Harper Lee (Harper Lee), originally served as a surname and referred to harpists (harp - harp).

It is even easier to guess the meaning of such names as Daisy (Daisy) and April (April). The first repeats the word daisy (daisy), and the second - April (April), which, in turn, is associated with the Latin verb aperire "to open." Both of these names began to be actively used in English no earlier than the 19th century.

When choosing names for girls in English, we pay attention to the meaning, it is not always possible to recognize it. And the point is not only that it is difficult to establish the history of the word: the meaning may simply be absent. Such interesting story has a female name Vanessa (Vanessa). It was invented by Jonathan Swift (Jonathan Swift) for the poem "Cadenus and Vanessa", combining the first letters of the name of his friend.

Royal names

If we are talking about Great Britain, then for many, the first association with it is the royal family. Although politics has historically been the work of men, women have had their say as well. What beautiful female names in English do we meet at the royal court?

Perhaps one of the main women in the history of Great Britain and the most famous queen is Queen Victoria (Queen Victoria). She ruled the country for over 60 years until 1901. Victoria is her first name. At birth, she was also given the middle name Alexandrina (Alexandrina). But the main one was Victoria, and it was it that was fixed in history: the era of her reign is called Victorian. Many are named after the Queen. geographical areas, for example, a city in Canada and a state in Australia. The name Victoria remains popular today.

The current Queen of Great Britain is Elizabeth II (Elizabeth II). Her full name sounds like Elizabeth Alexandra Mary (Elizabeth Alexandra Mary). Every element in it is a tribute to other members of the royal family. She was named Elizabeth after her mother, Alexandra after her great-grandmother, and Mary after her grandmother. Elizabeth II ascended the throne in 1952 and has already surpassed her famous predecessor, Queen Victoria, in terms of the length of her reign.

The name Diana is very popular in England. In the royal family, it was worn by Princess Diana, the first wife of Prince Charles. Often her name was abbreviated and simply called Lady Di (Lady Di).

In politics, influential English women are not only the royal family. One of the most significant politicians was Margaret Thatcher (Margaret Thatcher). She became the first woman in Europe to serve as prime minister.

Name Variations

We must not forget that English names often have abbreviated versions that are very popular. As the example of Lady Di shows, abbreviations are used even in relation to government officials.

It often happens that abbreviated variants are fixed in the language and become independent names. For example:

• Sandra (Sandra): an abbreviated version of Alexandra (Alexandra)
• Stacy (Stacy): short for Anastasia (Anastasia)

In this case, the original version may be completely lost. For example, the form Alice (Alice / Alice) is derived from Adelaide (Adelaide), and in its original form the name sounded like Adalheidis.

Some names have different variants writing. This is probably best seen in the forms Katherine / Catharine / Catherine / Catherina / Katharine / Katherina. Added to this diversity are abbreviations that can be used as a full name: Cat / Cathy / Kat / Kate / Kathie / Kathy / Katie / Kitty / Cate.

Male-female

In English, it is quite common to find names that can refer to both women and men, without differing in any way in form.

• Ash (Ash)
• Cameron (Cameron)
• Kerry (Kerry)
• Kim (Kim)
• Morgan (Morgan)
• Parker (Parker)

Often this situation is typical for abbreviated versions. Therefore, beautiful English female names can be obtained, among other things, from the abbreviation of the male form.

• Alex (Alex): short for the male name Alexander (Alexander) and the female Alexandra (Alexandra)
• Billie (Billy): short for Bill (Bill) and the female form of the name William - Wilhelmina (Wilhelmina)
• Chris (Chris): can be formed from Christopher (Christopher), Christian (Christian) or Christine (Christine / Christina)
• Frankie (Frankie): from male Frank (Frank) or female Frances (Francis)
• Jackie (Jackie): from Jack (Jack) or Jacqueline (Jacqueline)
