The cutest female name. Modern beautiful female names: Russian and foreign names for girls by months

Choosing a name for a baby is a difficult and responsible task. Thousands of parents daily puzzle over what interesting female names now in fashion, how not to make a mistake and charge your beloved child with happiness for life. A woman is always a mystery, it is mysterious and enchanting beauty, and each country has its own canons. Now they are becoming very foreign in origin, Old Slavonic and long forgotten. Maybe, given material will help you choose a fate for your daughter.

We are for modern fashion!

If you constantly follow trends and do not miss any important events, then we recommend that you watch beautiful ones. You won’t have to break your tongue over pronunciation, and, of course, any traditional Russian version is ideally combined with a simple Russian patronymic.

A popular magazine recently conducted a survey. 45 thousand men answered the question about which female name is the most pleasant for them. The top three included Katenka, Victoria and Nastenka. They are followed by Ksyusha, Tanechka and Natashenka. Of course, these names always remain in trend and are considered classics. At the same time, many parents prefer to give beautiful female names (modern) rare and mysterious, such as Carmina, Evangeline, Evelina, Ariadne, Camellia.

We are fans of the French genre

It is believed that French ladies have the most melodic names. If you remember famous actresses, then they will always be associated with the standards of beauty and elegance. No wonder that french names women's in fashion and with us. In kindergartens, you can increasingly meet Adele, Camilla, Violetta. Veronica (with an emphasis on the last syllable) is similar to our Vika - both names mean victory, but have different origin. Irene (by analogy with Ira) - peaceful and kind soul; Claire - flamboyant style; Sylvia is a forest nymph, Emma is mysterious.

Almost all popular French female names have a complex etymology and were borrowed from other countries. Over time, their pronunciation has changed. For example, Jeanette comes from the Hebrew language, and Barbara comes from the ancient Roman language. Here are a few more interesting options: Vivienne (live), Giselle (arrow), Josephine (kind), Monica (affectionate), Mary (beloved), Margot (precious), Emmanuelle (given by God).

We are German favorites

German female names always impress. Despite the fact that the very language of the German people is rude, and not everyone likes it, their names are charming. Girls named after a German name will surely be successful and the attention of others.

For example, Mirabellas are very sensitive and vulnerable natures. They make excellent housewives and faithful wives. But Isolde is the name for strong personality who will surely achieve career success. Isolde's name translates as "cold gold" and therefore she can be dangerous, but only with those who do not appreciate her.

Other Popular german names female ones: Alma (blessed), Gertrude (warrior, heroine), Hanrietta (noble girl), Iolanthe (violet), Frederick (powerful), Emily (rival), Frieda (loyal), Hannah (gifted). In Russia, you can often meet Inga, Maryana, Nelly. These names are firmly rooted in our country, although they are of Germanic origin.

We look to the east

Oriental women are always a mystery. Arabic female names are associated with the melody oriental dance, the secrets of the sands and the charm of their owners. The mixture of cultures leads to the fact that in our country Russian girls are increasingly called traditional Muslim names. And at the same time they grow up happy and loved. Consider which Arab women's

Often there are girls Guli, Naili, Kamila. They are beautiful like flowers, respected and merciful. Malika, Jamilya, Laysan sound like juicy chords... Naming a child with the name Aisha, parents expect their daughter to grow up smart and obedient, meek and courteous. By the way, this name is of great importance for Muslims. That was the name of the wife of the great prophet Muhammad.

It is not recommended to name girls Fatima. The fact is that all babies are called that before they receive their birth certificate. Most residents of Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other countries give girls the following names: Jana, Layan, Zafira, Razan, Shahd.

We are for the long forgotten old

Interesting female names of primordially Russian origin are now, surprisingly, rare. What is not sweet-sounding Elena, Vera, Natalia? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria are found in almost every ward of maternity hospitals.

Old female names are used even less frequently. Some 100-200 years ago among common people they sounded everywhere, but now they have lost former glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adelina, Anthony, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emeliana, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelageya, Praskovya, Seraphim, Taisya, Raisa, Fevronya, Thekla, Theodora.

Must have the root "mila" or "glory". For example, Yaroslav, Miloslav, Boguslav, Bogumil, Svyatoslav. This tradition has been preserved since Kievan Rus, because then the name must have made sense. And all the more familiar to us - Barbara, Sophia, Maria, Julia, Anna came to our country from Ancient Greece and Rome.

Other common female names

Not included in the top 3, but also interesting female names that are more common than others, are Ksenia, Uliana, Varvara, Alexandra, Valeria. Less common - Alina, Arina, Yana, Alice, Veronica. Lydia, Milana, Vasilisa, Diana, Margarita, Zlata are considered undeservedly forgotten. Such girls are found one in several hundred.

Conclusion

Whatever name you choose for your daughter - be sure that it will be the best, and your sun - the happiest. Interesting female names are just the opinion of one person, but there are no comrades for the taste and color.

Elena Zhabinskaya

Dear future mothers, most likely, you already know the gender of your unborn child and are expecting a little princess.

You know exactly what she will be - beautiful, funny, mischievous, inquisitive and kind, and you want to give her all the best. Therefore, you already know how to choose the right one and which one to buy.

The most important, pleasant and significant thing remains: to sort through all the names for girls and choose the most beautiful and best for your little princess. This is a very responsible choice, because it will leave an imprint on the entire later life and the fate of the child.

Will your girl grow up to be a downtrodden quiet, following the lead of someone else's, stronger, opinion, will she be aggressive and ready to repel an invisible attack every second? Or will it develop into a harmonious personality with an even character and a benevolent disposition? You will not believe it, but a lot depends on the name that you give her. That is why it is important to make the right choice and consciously.

Numerous scientists have long noticed that people with the same names have similar character traits.

As one of the explanations, the phenomenon of "music of names" is given. According to him, some names sound melodious, literally caress the ear and evoke positive emotions in the one who pronounces and the one who hears. Others, on the contrary, make you cringe and tense up.

Each name is a set of sounds of one or another pitch and key. All sounds affect different parts of the brain in different ways. Since a person hears what they call him several dozen times a day, this forms a certain psycho-emotional state and certain character traits. There are solid hard names: Zhanna, Dina, Tamara. They contribute to the formation of a persistent, stubborn, decisive character. There are soft and melodic ones: Svetlana, Natalya, Anna, which will be the prerequisites for the formation of a soft and docile character.

In addition, there is another reasonable explanation for the influence of the name on fate. Hearing the name, we draw conclusions about the nationality of a person (Maria, Olga, Anna, Ekaterina), possible religion (Gulnara, Zulfiya), alleged character traits (calm Elena, fiery Tatyana). Having succumbed to the first impression, we draw some conclusions about a person. And, of course, when thousands of people “endow” someone with certain qualities when they meet, this leaves an imprint on the personality.

An interesting fact: scientists recently conducted a study and found out that girls with attractive romantic names (Angelina, Angelica, Milana) move worse in career ladder, but much more successful in creative environment and show business.

How to choose

When choosing a name for a girl, you can be guided by different theories and principles (we will talk about them below). However, there are some general recommendations that need to be taken into account.

The name must match the nationality of the child. This is a fairly obvious rule, and usually in a family of Orthodox Christians it would never occur to anyone to name their daughter Khadija, Alfiya or Alsu. In the same way, the presence of a child, for example, with the name Vera, Anna, Olga, in a Tatar or Muslim family immediately creates dissonance.

The name must be combined with the surname and patronymic of the girl. Various combinations of full name the child will have to hear very often. First the last name and first name at school, then the first name and patronymic in adult life At work. Therefore, say all these combinations several times, so to speak, taste them.

If the surname and patronymic are long, then the name should be chosen shorter. It is convenient to show this by my personal example. When we chose what to name our daughter, we saw that we had just a long surname and patronymic, so we chose a shorter name so as not to fall asleep while you pronounce it in full. It turned out like this: Zhabinskaya Eva Dmitrievna. Both together and separately, the combinations are not quite long and euphonious. Compare, for example, as if it were Zhabinskaya Ekaterina Dmitrievna, or Zhabinskaya Anastasia Dmitrievna. For me, a very long time.

At the junction of the last name and first name, first name and patronymic, there should not be a pile of consonant letters that make pronunciation difficult. In this case, the child will tense up in advance in anticipation that they can pronounce something incorrectly, which will form uncertainty and tightness. For example, it is more difficult to pronounce Christine Stern than Alice Stern.

It is necessary to try so that the name easily forms a diminutive form, so that communication with the baby can be painted in a different range of emotions.

How not to call a girl

When choosing how to name a girl in 2017, you must always remember that a baby with this name will live: go to kindergarten, school, university, build a career. Therefore, it is inappropriate and stupid in such important issue be guided by momentary fashion or emotions.

Do not give unpronounceable, unpronounceable and strange names. For example, Traktorina, Wilhelmina, Gloriosa, Eupraxia, Xanthippus, Mitrodora. The child will feel awkward from birth at every need to name himself, which can develop an inferiority complex and insecurity.

Don't name children after historical events or prominent people. Events go down in history, and politicians are often criticized over time. As a result, a name that seemed meaningful and relevant to you, ten years later, will sound ridiculous, inappropriate and stupid, confusing the child and developing complexes for him. For example, Dazdraperma (Long live the first of May), the Olympics (in honor of the Winter Olympics in Sochi), Crimea (in honor of the annexation of the peninsula), Stalin (in honor of Stalin).

You should not call the baby the same as the relatives who died violent death or tragic. You can believe in mysticism or not, but there are statistics according to which such people more often repeat the fate of unfortunate ancestors.

IN Lately there is a fashion double names(Anna-Maria, Victoria-Elizabeth). Moms explain this choice something like this: the queen - the royal name (hinting that all the reigning persons always had two names). But firstly, we are still not royal, and secondly, this is not a game of princesses, but a real children's life. I do not see the need to create additional difficulties and awkward situations for the child in communicating with peers.

Names for girls by month according to the church calendar

Our ancestors did not have to puzzle over suitable name for a child. It was enough to look into the saints - church calendar with the names of saints.

It was believed that the saint, on whose day the baby was born, would be his protector and patron, respectively, the baby was called that name.

In our time, although the saints have already played their role, and the choice of the name of the child is at the mercy of the imagination of the parents, sometimes it is still possible, and even necessary, to look into the church calendar.

Who knows, perhaps it is there that you will draw inspiration and, according to the calendar, will find an unusual name for a girl, which, in addition, will carry a secret spiritual meaning, because the guardian angel himself will protect such a baby.

Now church canons are not as strict, and to give parents more choice in names, calendars are used by month rather than by day. This means that the name of the patron saint can be chosen from a list related to the baby's birth month.

  • Girls born in September can be called the following names of patron saints: Thekla, Martha, Natalia, Maria, Kira, Anfisa, Anna, Elizabeth, Tatiana, Natalia, Xenia, Vasilisa, Sofia, Lyudmila, Vera, Love, Hope, Raisa, Evdokia, Seraphim.
  • In October, patronize: Elizabeth, Zlata, Zinaida, Pelageya, Taisiya, Tatyana, Nadezhda, Veronica, Anna, Alexandra, Maria, Sofia, Iraida, Ariadna, Irina.
  • In November: Anna, Elizabeth, Nina, Alexandra, Claudia, Elena, Anastasia, Maria, Pelageya, Matryona, Olga.
  • In December: Zoya, Vera, Marina, Alexandra, Tatyana, Anna, Anfisa, Barbara, Ekaterina, Julia, Kira, Tamara, Maria, Margarita.
  • In January: Maria, Sofia, Nina, Tatiana, Julia, Anastasia, Vasilisa, Evgenia, Polina, Melania, Maria, Anna, Barbara, Augusta, Claudia.

  • In July: Marina, Margarita, Alevtina, Valentina, Julia, Maria, Olga, Elena, Evdokia, John, Agrippina, Zoya, Anna, Rimma, Zina.
  • In August: Maria, Sofia, Eva, Daria, Nona, Evdokia, Elizabeth, Elena, Anfisa, Christina, Susanna, Mavra.

Beautiful Russian names

As you know, classic is always in fashion. And names are no exception. Most Russian traditional names are rooted in Ancient Greece And Ancient Rome. But this only adds to their charm and history.

With such a name, the baby will feel comfortable, and it will most likely go well with her last name and patronymic.

Popular modern names for girls

Sociologists annually analyze which female names are more popular with parents. According to statistics recent years, in addition to the classic Russian names that we reviewed above, young parents are attracted to the following.


rare and beautiful

Classical names are beautiful and cozy, but nowadays you won’t surprise anyone with them. And so you want to show everyone that your baby is special. Therefore, I propose to go in search of not only beautiful, but also rare names for girls.


Old Russian

One of the last fashion trends- call children by old Russian names. I'm wary of this idea, and here's why. As a rule, such names are still used extremely rarely in our time.

Accordingly, they are unusual for a child's ear, and again in this case we are faced with the danger that the baby will be a misfortune crow in children's team, will begin to be ashamed of his name, feel awkward when he needs to be called, or when they will turn to her.

There is always such a danger, because we do not know in advance what character and temperament our baby will have. Perhaps someone will not be shy and will be able to stand up for themselves, while someone will close up and refuse to attend school.

Therefore, I do not see the need to give children too rare old Russian names, such as Martha, Thekla, Lukerya, Pelageya, Euphrosyne, Agrippina, Aglaya.

There is a theory according to which people born at a certain time of the year have common features character and inclinations.

Knowing these patterns, you can align and adjust the character of a person in the right direction.

For example, cold and harsh weather form a tough, firm and uncompromising character in those born in winter. Therefore, there is a recommendation to try to give such girls soft, gentle and affectionate names, in order to add femininity and kindness in this way. In this case, such names as Elena, Alice, Sophia will be appropriate, and unsuccessful (they will only strengthen, aggravate the character) Kira, Olga, Zhanna.

Spring, on the contrary, contributes to the formation of soft, indecisive personalities. It is difficult for such girls to resist other people's opinions, it is difficult to say a firm no, to stop unpleasant statements or actions. They, on the contrary, need to add hardness. The name Marina, Christina, Dina will do. Natalya, Dashenka, Svetlana will be unsuccessful.

In the summer, emotional, impressionable girls are born, good-natured and often spineless. Their character should be balanced with firm, stable names, for example, Martha, Barbara.

Autumn - best time for the birth of balanced, whole personalities. They can be given any names without fear.

Female Russian names, beautiful and sonorous, are a great asset national culture. The centuries-old history of naming in Rus' has formed a huge name book of magnificent female names that have become an integral part of Russian history.

The origin of Russian names is very different, but their fate is the fate of Russia, a reflection of the great and long-suffering history of the country, the fullness of its cultural life. In addition, Russian names have been conquering the cultures of other countries for more than a decade, gradually turning from exotic and rare names into common and close names. Particularly popular in the West short forms Russian female names - Tanya, Liza, Sasha and others.

Modern beautiful female Russian names reflect the dynamics of development national culture V modern times which combines, on the one hand, Russia's openness to the world, the influence of other cultures, but on the other hand, the desire to preserve and strengthen the identity of the national culture, its traditions and customs.

Traditions name naming in Russia

The history of naming in Rus' is in many ways similar to the history of naming all European peoples with one significant difference - the patronymic is included in the Russian naming system. Thus, complete Russian name consists of a personal name, patronymic and surname. In addition, like many other peoples, there are short forms of the name, nicknames, petting-diminutive forms, pseudonyms. In addition to the Russian people, patronymics exist among Belarusians, Ukrainians, Icelanders, Bulgarians and Greeks.

Before the adoption of Christianity Old Russian names were a conglomeration of generic name, nicknames, secret name, so it is sometimes impossible to determine which name is personal.

Significant changes in the practice of naming came with the adoption of Christianity, although for a long time not only peasants, but also princes had two names: one of Slavic origin (pagan), the other - received at baptism. Until the 15th century, Russian princes had Slavic names, consisting of two bases - Vladimir, Yaropolk, Svyatoslav, Mstislav and others. The words from which princely names were composed most often had meanings related to the world military glory, valor and honor. Female princely names are also two-part - Pereyaslav, Dobronega, Yaroslav. Commoners did not have the right to bear princely names, as, however, for a long time they did not have either patronymics or surnames. First christian names as the main name, as well as surnames, were acquired by princes and boyars, then merchants and clergy. The surnames of the peasants are formed only to late XIX century.

Origin of Russian female names

With the adoption of Christianity, name-books Ancient Rus' expanded significantly. According to Orthodox tradition, a person acquired a name only at baptism. For a long time the church was forced to fight against the pagans, that is, Slavic names. And although some Old Slavic names were present in the holy calendar, most of them were banned. Most interesting example such a “forbidden fruit” is the female name Svetlana, which arose as a result of the literary searches of Russian romantics. Until now, many do not even realize that it has become such a native, it has a literary origin. However, the organic sound, its phonetics and positive meaning make it almost Old Slavonic. At least, Orthodox Church for a long time she refused to include it in the holy calendar.

Most of the names of Orthodox saints are of ancient Greek and Roman origin. In turn, the ancient Greek civilization is known as a culture that absorbs the experience and traditions of other countries, and therefore the ancient Greek names absorbed best names from various regions of the Oikoumene. The importance of Hebrew names, known to everyone in the Bible, is especially great.

Peter's reforms, cultural interactions with European countries, primarily France, Germany, Great Britain, also enriched the body of the Russian nomenclature, Russifying many Western European nicknames. For example, Pauline. Thus, by the end of the 19th century, an impressive name book was formed, incorporating hundreds of beautiful Russian variants of words.

The next turning point in the history of Russian naming was October Revolution, marking the transition to the Soviet naming system. The role of saints in the choice was abolished. Names appear as a result of abbreviation. For example, Vladlena - Vladimir + Lenin.

So, by origin, Russian female names are divided into:

  • Slavic: Alena, Bogdana, Borislav, Vlad, Darina, Zabava, Zarina, Zlata, Lada, Lyubava, Lyudmila, Mila, Milana, Milena, Miloslava, Miroslava, Rada, Radmila, Snezhana,;
  • ancient Greek and ancient Roman: Avdotya, Aurora, Aglaya, Agrippina, Akulina, Alexander, Antonina, Anfisa, Valentina, Valery, Barbara, Vasilisa, Venus, Veronica, Victoria, Glafira, Diana, Eugenia, Efrosinya, Larisa, Lydia, Melania, Natalia, Nina, Pelageya, Polina, Praskovya, Raisa, Sophia, Taisia, Tamara, Tatyana, and others;
  • Hebrew: Anna, Elizabeth, Leah, Martha, Seraphim, Susanna.
  • Soviet: Idea, Iskra, Vilena, Vladlen, Ninel, Oktyabrina, Stalin.

Choosing a beautiful modern female Russian name

Currently, the name of the child is chosen only by the parents, and no matter how unusual it would be, the registry office is obliged to register it.

Modern scientists have found that the determining factor in favor of choosing one or another option is its "beauty". For Russians, this means: euphony of the name, harmonious compatibility with the patronymic and surname, pleasant cultural and symbolic associations. As practice shows, more and more Russians, when choosing a name for a child, are guided by Orthodox saints, resulting in the return of many forgotten names. For example, Varvara, Pelageya, Ulyana and others.

An important factor influencing the choice of a name is its popularity, the fashion for a name. This factor has always mattered. An example is widely known when, thanks to the genius of A. S. Pushkin, the name Tatiana, once considered common, came into fashion and gained popularity among the nobles. What to say about our time, when the means mass media shape the tastes and preferences of a multi-million audience.

As the survey showed, for several years now the most popular and, therefore, beautiful female name for Russians has been the name Anastasia. He is followed by: Sofia, Anna, Alexandra, Maria, Daria, Elizabeth, Polina, Elena, Natalia.

If you make a list of the most beautiful modern Russian female names and their meanings, you get the following:

In every country, they try to name girls not just beautifully. Many believe that a female name should sound mysterious, elegant. At the same time, its significance is big role. When we hear the name of a girl, girl or woman, we try to imagine her appearance, to predict her character. Often such representations largely coincide with the original. There is an opinion that the most beautiful female names, the sound of which is especially melodious, belong to French women, Russian women and Italian women.

Selection factors


When choosing a name for their daughter, parents rely on various factors that influence their lives:

  1. Church Saints. In religious families, girls are often named after the holy great martyrs who suffered for their faith. The names of the patron saints in the old days were very common. Now many of them are considered rare. Their list can be found in the church name book. Many gladly now use the glorious traditions of the past.
  2. Numerology. Based on the date of birth of the baby and his harmonious ratio with the chosen name. It is believed that a correctly chosen name will bring good luck, peace of mind and a lot of positive emotions.
  3. Season. Many are sure that balance will be established if a girl born in the cold season is named warm and light. And vice versa, summer child often given a hard, even tough name.
  4. National traditions. They provide for the use of not only the traditional names of a particular nation. Girls are often named after mothers, grandmothers or distant famous ancestors who managed to glorify their family.
  5. The spirit of time. Often in fashion unusual names, which can be correlated with important events in the life of the country. And in this case, many rare, incomprehensible, and not always beautiful names appear. There are many examples of this: Traktarina, Dazdraperma, Kukutsapol, etc. In the Tatar nomenclature, one can meet such as Ilzida (the power of the Motherland), Elnara (the light of the Fatherland) and many others.

Women's names beloved by men

According to a social survey, in which more than 45,000 Russian men participated, there have been leaders among female names. Their men consider the most beautiful:

  • The first three sounded: Ekaterina, Anastasia.
  • The second three: Ksenia,.
  • The next position was rare names such as Carmina, Lorna, Evangeline.

In our multinational country, they are popular. They are distinguished by melody, sophistication, mystery. Semantic load also plays an important role.

Selection rules

It is important for every person to live in harmony with himself. And here is not the most last role plays the fact what your name is. It is better when the name is characteristic of the country of residence and the nationality of its owner. Agree that Benedatta will sound appropriate in Italy, but for a girl it is not quite suitable. Always remember that a child can be teased in kindergarten and school if his peers find his name strange. In the work team, it can also be an occasion for slander.

It is also important that the diminutive and caressing form should also be euphonious. After all, usually in the circle of family and friends, this is how we call each other. For example, the now rare name Pelageya briefly sounds like Broadsword, Pasha, Palanya. Will the girl feel comfortable if her relatives call her Pasha?

Strange combinations of a first name with a patronymic and a surname often lead to bewilderment. How does a girl feel if her name is Ivanova Shushanik Vyacheslavovna? It is unlikely that such a combination will bring joy and harmony to a woman's life.

It is believed that the meaning of the name leaves its mark on the fate of the child. If you look into the female name book, you can find many forgotten and now rare, melodic, beautiful female names there. Meanwhile, their meanings had lofty sense. For example:

  • Agnia - immaculate, pure
  • Aleksina - protector
  • Glafira - graceful, refined
  • Eustace - healthy, strong
  • Feklista - God's creation

Examples of rare names for girls

If you want to name a girl beautifully and unusually, you can try to find out how rare is the name that the choice fell on. You can find out by looking at the statistics. And everyone has their own idea of ​​the beauty of sound.

The registry offices today register many female and long-forgotten names. They go well with surnames and patronymics. For centuries, people lived in harmony with nature, worked hard, were strong and healthy. Therefore, much attention was paid to the meaning of names. Not all of them have reached our time. This list has been frequently seen lately:

  • Bazhena is a desired child
