European names. European (Western) female names and their meanings

A person’s name has always been endowed with a special sacred meaning. Men were the embodiment of strength, courage, bravery, heroism. Female names, on the contrary, according to their ancestors, endowed their owners with beauty, tenderness, softness, and patience. Modern Russian and foreign scientists have already scientifically proven that a person’s name has a significant influence on his fate.

IN last years There has been a tendency to give girls unusual, rare names. However, experts believe that choosing a name for a child should be approached as responsibly as possible. You should not be guided by fashion or momentary desire, or succumb to pressure from relatives. Parents must be clearly aware that they are making a choice that a person will have to live with for the rest of their lives.

A rare and unusual name in itself gives its owner certain characteristics. On the one hand, it automatically sets the girl apart from everyone else. Depending on the character and attitude of adults, this can either stimulate leadership qualities or unreasonable pride in the child, or provoke him to be as inconspicuous as possible.

On the other hand, having gotten used to constant attention, a girl, especially as she gets older, when her name alone is no longer enough to hold her position, may unconsciously or purposefully strive for it.

Rare female names, beautiful modern Russian or foreign names should be chosen by parents for the child with the understanding that the girl will have to live up to the name, and parents will have to pay special attention to her upbringing.

How to choose a rare name

When choosing a rare, beautiful female name, regardless of whether it is modern or ancient, Russian or not, you should take into account some nuances:

1. The name should be harmonious for the child’s environment where he is expected to live. Children easily create teasing rhymes for any name, but some are especially insidious in this regard.
2. It should be easy to pronounce, both in full and in short form.
3. The full name must be combined with the patronymic. Vsevolodovna or Miroslavovna themselves are difficult to pronounce even for people with excellent articulation, so there is no need to make them even more difficult to pronounce in combination with cumbersome names.
4. The combination of first and last names should be taken into account; the overall design should be easy to remember and pronounce without difficulty. And common sense should not be written off. Krivonos Karnelia or Madeleine Zapluisvechko are not the best options.
5. The name must be converted into euphonious short forms, at least one.
6. It is advisable to turn to the works of people who have studied names and their influence on character and read what they write about the option you like. You can believe this or not, but since the description of names is compiled on the basis of many years of collecting information, it makes sense to take their interpretation into service. Feedback from many people speaks in favor of such research.

Orthodox Russian names according to the calendar

Since the baptism of Rus', a tradition has appeared to name children according to the calendar - a special church calendar list. In it, each day is painted as a date in memory of some saint (saint).

Over the past time, more than 1000 different names of Greek, Jewish, and Slavic origin have accumulated in the calendar. Many of them are still relevant today, some are completely forgotten, but all of them are endowed with a certain energy. Previously, it was according to this calendar that it was customary to name newborns; today this choice depends solely on the parents.

As a strict condition, the custom has ceased to exist everywhere and is preserved only in certain believing families.

The name from the calendar is given to the child during the baptismal ceremony and does not always correspond to its official (civil) version.

So, for example, Nellie is not in the calendar, and the girl is baptized either in tune with Neonila, or is given a name after her birthday.

Rare and beautiful female names today have become undeservedly forgotten. Claudia, Evdokia, Varvara, Vasilisa - they are found, but rare.

You can also find names that are quite outlandish, in the opinion of a modern Russian person, such as:

• Leonila,
• Felicata,
• Eusevia.

Among the usual beautiful names in the calendar you can find:

• Nina,
• Polina,
• Elena,
• Olga,
• Maria,
• Sophia.

Rare Russian names - list

Some rare female names still sound beautiful today, recalling Russian roots and traditions in our modern, international world:

• Milana (sweetheart),
• Bogdana (given by God),
• Yaroslava (bright in glory),
• Bozena (wife of God),
• Darina (given by God),
• Snezhana (winter, snowy),
• Radmila (caring, caring),

and similar ones are still relevant today. Even by ear, these names have a pronounced emotional connotation, are very feminine and at the same time conceal the power of ancestors and patronage higher powers. They pass it on to their owners.

They also include the more popular beautiful names, such as Vera, Nadezhda, Lyudmila, Zlata. But Svetlana, despite the fact that it is based on such a familiar “light” to our ears, baffles researchers.

One of the versions of its origin is artificial; there is a theory that it was invented by Zhukovsky and Vostokov for the ballad of the same name, which ensured its popularity for a long time.

The names of the pre-Christian period were consistent with the beliefs and worldview of the people of that time. Close connection with nature, reverence for its power and elements, worship pagan gods- all this was reflected in the way their distant ancestors called their children.

The girls were named:

• Zhdanami (the child who was expected),
• Krasavami (beautiful),
• Mladami, Malushami (youngest daughter),
• Zorinami (born at dawn),
• Chernavami (black, dark),
• Yaroslavs (glorifying the god Yarila), etc.

English

England is very interesting and unique for the Slavs in terms of names and surnames. Residents of Foggy Albion full name consists of three components: the first name, the second name and the surname itself. Traditional english names have Celtic and Scottish roots, however, German, Norman, Arabic, and Christian names also had an important influence on their formation in their time.

This is due to the fact that for a long time, in the territories belonging to the modern United Kingdom, there was an active mixing of different ethnic groups. Among this list there are also artificial names invented on purpose.

In pre-revolutionary Russia, English names were slightly less popular than French ones. Often they replaced a secular, worldly name in a foreign manner and Mary turned into Mary, and Anna into Anne. In modern Russian culture, even the most common English names will sound unusual.

In England great amount beautiful female names. In countries where people speak English, you can call a girl any word you like, For example:

• April (April),
• Chamomile (Daisy),
• Jasmine (Jesmine),
• Ice (Crystal),
• Rubin (Rubby),

- and all these are female names.

Greek

Originally greek names are divided into two large subgroups:

Modern beautiful female names, rare or well-known, but traditionally seeming Russian to us, have Greek roots. The absolutely Russian name Elena, translated from the language of Archimedes, means “shining, torch.” And in fact, Elenas are bright, energetic women, endowed with charisma and a bright temperament. Xenia and Evlampia also came from Greece.

The Greeks also have a lot of original and very unusual female names:

• Olympics,
• Alexia,
• Isadora,
• Selena,
• Ruzanna,
• Ophelia,
• Sandra,
• Monica.

American

American culture is a mix of English, German, French, Dutch, Swedish and many others. In such a cocktail of cultures and names, various origins and sounds were formed.

Much depends on the part of the country and its population. In Venezuela, where you can still hear German spoken today, many women are called Marta, Greta, and in California the Spanish Mercedes and Dolores are popular.

According to statistics from recent years, most often residents of the United States of America name their daughters:

• Barbara,
• Elizabeth,
• Dora,
• Emma,
• Sophie,
• Mary.

If you want to name a girl with a rare name in the American style, you can choose one of these names.

Some Catholic families even today adhere to the tradition of naming a child after the saint on whose day he was lucky enough to be born, but most citizens of this country still prefer to name their offspring according to their personal sympathies.

In recent years, there has been a tendency to call children not by proper names, but by any word that pleases. This usually leans towards superiority or pathos, eg Legend, Queen.

Popular names in America that sound original and beautiful to Russians:

• Michelle,
• Mary,
• Stella,
• Evelina,
• Lucille,
• Clara,
• Bark,
• Dolores,
• Ruby,
• Lillian,

Japanese

Japanese female names are melodious, euphonious, easy to pronounce and recognize.

• Kamiko is a child of perfection,
• Katsumi - all-conquering beauty,
• Meiko the dancing child
• Rika is a highly rated fragrance,
• Sekera - dawn in Japan.

German

In Germany, at the legislative level, a ban has been imposed on children receiving invented names or using inappropriate words, surnames, even world-famous ones, as well as geographical, historical and other names and terms.

In return, the Germans are given the widest choice of names with ancient Germanic roots, as well as Catholic ones, since more than 30% of the population ardently adhere to church traditions.

According to statistics, the most beautiful and popular names among Germans in recent years were:

• Hannah,
• Helga,
• Helen,
• Emma,
• Ingrid
• Petra.

When calling a girl with a German name, we must not forget the rule: it must be combined with the patronymic and surname.

Armenian

The formation of their names, as well as the culture as a whole, was greatly influenced by the Persians, Arabs, Slavs, and Turks. Many names were taken from the "Old Testament", "Bible" and other Christian texts.

Women's Armenian names They represent the best in the weaker half. Some names appeared under the influence of myths and beliefs of the people: Woman is a mother (Anait), in honor of the goddess of motherhood and warrior the girl was called Nane, and admirers of the dawn goddess named her daughter Mane.

Many parents believed that their daughter would grow up to be what her name would be. This is how they appeared:

• brilliant Lianas,
• Devoted to God Mariam,
• happy Erdzhanik,
• guarding the hearth of Nune,
• freedom-loving souls of Azatui.

Tatar

Tatar names for girls go back to the Turks, have a long history of origin and are distinguished by their diversity. In Tatar culture, most female names in one way or another relate to the sky, planets, stars and everything that fits into this theme.

For example, the syllable “ai” at the beginning of the name means the Moon, and thus Ainura can be translated as “light of the moon”, and Aibike as “lunar lady”. The most common beautiful women's Tatar name Chulpan is translated into Russian as “Venus” or morning Star. A good share of Tatar names appeared after the people converted to Islam, so many of them contain “ulla” in their structure, i.e. Allah.

Rare Muslim

The worst thing that can happen in the life of a devout Muslim is a departure from the instructions given in the Koran. And this holy book says that parents are fully responsible for the life and actions of their child, which is why the choice of a name for residents of Muslim countries is of such great importance.

Of the female names mentioned in the pages of the Koran, there is only one - Mariam, so there has been a tendency among Muslims to name girls with words from their holy scripture that have a pious and pleasant meaning.

Over time, they turned into proper female names, some of them are more popular, while others are rarely used:

• Iman (faith)
• Zulfa (search, finding mercy),
• Zahra (beauty, best time),
• Ilyaf (union),
• Kunuz (treasure),
• Kamila (whole, complete),
• Mawadda (love, passion)
• Misbah (source of light).

The rarest names in the world

Every year in each country, government agencies involved in the registration of newborns collect and transmit to the relevant statistical centers and institutes information about how many babies and under what names they received their first documents.

Information about people who decide to change their name as adults is also sent there. Based on all these indicators, all kinds of graphs, diagrams and diagrams are displayed, including a list of the most popular female and male names of the year.

Based on the results of the past period, birth certificates were issued least often in the CIS for:

It is quite difficult to talk about the rarest names on a global scale, since different countries Parents sometimes show unprecedented imagination and call their children unthinkable words.

For example, in Kyiv there lives a girl under the name “Privatization”.

Unusual names

It’s already difficult to surprise anyone with Louises, Esthersites and Loirels, but registry office workers are sometimes amazed at the fantasies of some parents. On the territory of Moscow, the couple demanded to register their son under the name BOCH rVF 260602 and, naturally, were refused.

Today, the “biological object of a person of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002” (that’s exactly what the name sounds like in full) is 15 years old, and he still lives without official metrics.

Despite the fact that among modern Russians there is plenty to choose from, people continue to come up with rare female names; they are sometimes formed as an abbreviation of slogans, say, “Lorierik”, which includes the words “Lenin” and “October Revolution”, “Industrialization” ” and “Electrification”, “Radiofication” and “Communism”.

There were precedents in the world when they tried to give children names such as “Circumcision”, “@”, “Q”, “Justice”, “Messiah”, “Nutella”. Many states create lists of names that cannot be used to call babies, and courts refuse parents to register babies due to inappropriate words, signs and numbers in the “name” column.

Forgotten rare female names:

Beautiful female names necessarily contain a certain mystery and mystery. They fill their owners with femininity, tenderness and wisdom.

Beautiful Russian names have different origins - Greek, Scandinavian, Slavic. This list can also include Catholic names, in which Russian parents also show interest. And although most of these names have an Orthodox analogue, focused on the sound in Russian, this does not interfere European names appear on the lists of beautiful female names among young Russian women.

Most Russian female names, which are considered beautiful, are also the most popular. In modern times, both rare and foreign names are added to this list, some of which were initially given only to “our own” (Muslim women, for example, or Jewish women). By origin they cannot be called Russian, but in Lately Russian girls are also called these names (Maryam, Eileen, Nicole). New trends make some adjustments to the list of favorite names for girls, but in general it remains unchanged for several years.

In Islam, the birth of a child is a sacred event, and Muslims are very responsible in choosing a name. Women's names among Muslims are designed to determine the main feature of a person. For example, Jamila means "beautiful" and Asiya means "naughty".

A large number of names for Jewish women are related to the Bible. And to this day these names are in common use among them. Names that come from the Yiddish language are considered to be the most beautiful Jewish names. An example is the fairly widespread Reize (meaning “rose”) and Liebe (translated as “beloved”).

Recently, Israelis and other Jews have also been choosing simply beautiful-sounding combinations for their girls. For this reason, they appear completely unusual names, not related to Jewish traditions. It is here that a shortened name can gain independence: Esti can be a full name among Jews, while in Europe it is a common affectionate title for Esther.

Modern beautiful female names

Modern names have great variety. These are not only traditional (most often religious), but also completely new, sometimes invented, sometimes well-forgotten old names. At the same time, it cannot be said that the preferences of Europeans will be identical to the tastes of Russians or Asians. Many peoples of different cultures, religious denominations and historical roots, accordingly, there will be no consensus on which names for girls will be considered modern and beautiful at the same time.

A similar picture exists in Europe and the USA, where various people live on a vast territory. And the list of beautiful female names for English women will be strikingly different from the melodic Bulgarians or Swedes.

The most recognizable in the world are Italian female names ending with the endings “-a” and “-e”. In modern Italy, the names Violetta and Lucrezia are very common.

In Spain, officially female names can consist of two first and last names, but in fact girls are given as many names as their parents want. The most popular in this country today are Maria, Carmen and Camilla. Most Spanish names are associated with religion, just like the Germans, by the way.

Today in Germany the popularity of diminutives and shortened double names is growing. For example, Kate or Anna-Marie. One of the modern beautiful German names is the name Mia, which appeared as an abbreviation for Maria, and began to be actively used in the last decades of the twentieth century. Since 2007, everything has been called this name large quantity newborn German women, it is considered beautiful and sonorous. A modern competitor in beauty, Hannah (similar to the name Anna), is also competing for the love of German parents and is considered one of the most beautiful modern names in the world.

Beautiful Russian female names

Russian names enjoy a certain interest outside their country. Many short and affectionate names in their homeland have become full-fledged names abroad. Very “Russian”, according to foreigners, the names Natasha, Tanya and Sasha are now heard quite often with an American or Brazilian accent.

But in Russia itself, they currently prefer to adhere to centuries-old traditions - they take Christian or Slavic names, although there are fashion trends here too. Modern Russian female names include not only Orthodox, but also others - Catholic, Slavic, Roman. Although before the baptism of Rus' the people did not have full names, everyone got by with nicknames.

Ancient Russian names most often represented a description of the most striking feature of its owner, and they were given to the girl when she became a teenager, or rather, for that time, suitable for future marriage. And they did not always become a girl’s adornment; sometimes it only emphasized her shortcomings or birth order. Now, of course, such names are not used at all, and preference is given to sonorous, beautiful Slavic names - Lyubava, Lada, Bogdana, Milena.

Modern beautiful Russian female names. Currently, the most widespread among Russian female names are Orthodox names. They occupy the first lines of the popularity rating among Russian names, as well as the first lines of the rating of beautiful female names. Anastasia, Ekaterina, Maria and Sophia firmly hold the top positions, but less common, and sometimes even forgotten over the last 50 years, names are also appearing - Angelina, Veronica, Varvara and others.

The greatest variety of beautiful Russian female names can be found in cities with a population of over a million, where they touch various cultures. It is here that the difference between a super-modern and a very old name is least noticeable: everything seems so new that sometimes you don’t understand whether this is a tribute to fashion or an already established trend of returning to antiquity.

Exactly at big cities a real foreign name may sound like “Russian”. The name Christina was used in Catholic Europe, but its Orthodox analogue (Christina) is considered in Russia a relic of past centuries and is found almost nowhere. Now he has a chance - the European analogue, Christina, has begun to win Russian hearts. Name Alice German origin, and now it is already in the top 10 most popular and, apparently, the most beautiful names - after all, modern parents will not give their daughters an ugly and intimidating name!

Russian names

The most beautiful female names

According to world statistics, Anna firmly holds the leading position in the number of girls, girls and women bearing this name. In recent years, the no less famous name Maria has been stepping on his heels, but so far has not been able to move him from the pedestal. Based on this, two names - Anna and Maria - can be considered the most beautiful modern female names on the entire planet.

But don’t think that now every second girl will be called that way. Various countries around the world have their own list of the most beautiful female names, most of which are very popular in their own country, although not always of “native” origin. Thus, English female names have become very popular among Russians. The list of the most popular British names includes the names Elizabeth, Ani, Louise. Slavic names in the last century were quite popular in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and since the late 80s of the last century they have gained popularity in Russia.

In Greece, women's names were chosen with the aim of protecting their owner from troubles and troubles. The Greeks invented more and more new female names. Such names as Aphrodite, Aurora, and Barbara came to our country from Greece.

The French give girls several names. But this combination is used in full only in official documents, and in life, French women use only one of them. According to tradition, French girls are given names in honor of their maternal and paternal grandmothers (for the first daughter), the second child is already named after their mothers. Currently, this tradition is not often followed - in France, “non-French” names are in fashion (usually English, American). Short ones, formed from full ones - Theo, Loïc, Sasha, Natasha, are also very popular and loved among the French. The spelling of French female names has changed - the ending “-a” has been added (Eva instead of Eve, Celia instead of Celie), but no changes have appeared in the Russian pronunciation. These are the names that are currently considered the most beautiful in France.

In France now you can often find beautiful female Muslim names, but still more among Arabic-speaking residents. Borrowed foreign names are extremely popular in this country, but they are still perceived by the French as “foreign” - Karla, Axel, Lea, Lola.

It is quite difficult to trace the popularity trend in American names. They are very diverse in the USA. There are even girls named after some event or area where they were born. American names also mostly have biblical origins. Americans have very independent tastes depending on the state, but several of the names listed in the table below are considered attractive girl names by American women in almost every state.

Among the beautiful Japanese female names, new ones began to appear, which sound similar to European ones, but which are written in hieroglyphs and do not depart from Japanese traditions. They began to be considered beautiful not only from the point of view of Europeans, but also from the point of view of the Japanese. Favorite names for Japanese girls are not identical to Chinese ones, and are completely far from the preferences of American or English girls.

TOP 5 unusual female names in English

Since many people are looking for a "unique" name, finding something truly unique can be extremely difficult, especially when it comes to girls. Historically, girls' names have tended to be fashionable, while boys' names have been more conservative. For example, while the most popular girl's name changed every 10 years, the name "Michael" has remained in the top ten for over 75 years. Thanks to this, there are more popular beautiful female names than male ones. In addition, many trending “unusual” names for girls come from men’s names. So if you're looking for something unusual but distinctly feminine, then you might have to dig a little deeper.

The names below were given to 10 or fewer baby girls each year, so of course there are small chance that she will have to share hers unique name with anyone else. But, if you want your new addition to the family to stand out among the Emmas, Olivias and Sophias, then feel free to choose one of the unusual names below for your little princess.

• Flannery. You may not have gotten around to reading Flannery O'Connor's most famous story, "Everything That Rises Must Converge." But don't let that stop you from giving this warm-sounding one a try. Irish name. "Flannery" comes from "flann" and "gal", which means "ruddy" and "bravery" in Irish. Only 10 little girls received this name in 2016.
• Alberta. The English name, meaning "noble" and "bright", probably comes from the western province of Canada. However, there is information that the province is actually named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, one of Queen Victoria's daughters. Although the name may be quite popular abroad, only 9 girls were named with it in 2016.
• Sigourney. Who knows, maybe the new “Alien” would have turned out quite tolerable if it had been there main woman the entire franchise. Not many parents name their daughters Sigourney. In fact, only 8 families chose it in 2016, but we do know that it is the name of the winner (which is what it means, by the way). Even Sigourney Weaver herself once admitted in an interview that she changed her first name “Susan”, inspired by a character from the novel “The Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald (“ The Great Gatsby").
• Talullah. The main thing is that it is not Tanunnah. While celebrities like Demi Moore, Patrick Dempsey and Philip Seymour Hoffman have named their daughters Tallulah, only seven families chose this charming Choctaw name meaning "jumping water" in 2016. Previously associated with stage and screen's greatest star, Talullah Bankhead, the name has now largely established itself as the go-to name for Southern belles. Another meaning of the name is “shining girl.”
• Antigone. Just like the name of the anti-theft system. The meaning of the name is “instead of a child.” If you want to make a solid name choice with a good history, then Antigone is good decision. The brave and principled heroine of an oft-told story in Greek mythology- hits the target and even more. Although the name has been known throughout history, parents have made it a slightly unusual choice for their daughters - only 8 families named their daughters Antigone in 2016. We'd say "Tig" sounds pretty cute too. Girls named Antigone are distinguished by their courage and independence. In childhood, this manifests itself in the form of pronounced self-will and excessive curiosity even for a child.

Double English names

If one name is not enough for you, you can try another route. Actually give it to children double names- a relatively recent tradition. Until the 18th century, people got by with only one first and last name. For a long time, the source of names was mainly the only one - a list of saints and holidays in calendar order (church calendar). But there were quite a lot of variations on the theme of church names among the people: in English, the Latin form “Maria” was transformed into “Mary” (Mary), which, in turn, gave the diminutive “Molly” (Molly), and then “Polly” ( Polly). The name "Joannes" comes from Hebrew. Yohanan, gave in medieval England the forms “Jan”, “Iohn” and “John” (John), as well as the diminutives “Jankin”, “Jackin”, and only then the popular name “Jack” (Jack). And the female form “Ioanna”, borrowed from the French “Jeanne” (Jeanne), immediately turned into three independent names: “Jane” (Jane), “Jean” (Jean) and “Joan” (Joan).

That's all for us. If you suddenly decide to move to the USA and start a family there, you will definitely know what to name your offspring!
