Every name once invented by people carries a meaning. Old Russian female names are distinguished by their beauty and uniqueness, because they appeared in different periods of long-suffering history Ancient Rus'. The wealth of female names has appealed to modern parents, and many girls already have beautiful old names. Melody and deep meaning attract not only Russians, but also other peoples.
It is impossible to find out the origin of absolutely all ancient names, but research does not stop. Names are a source of history and traditions; with their help you can learn about the life of your ancestors, their views, and look at the world through their eyes. Names help contemporaries know how their ancestors treated people.
It is even more difficult to research Old Russian female names, because they usually had several meanings and interpretations. U different regions one name could mean different phenomena and things. Therefore, today there are several versions of one name.
In the old days, children were called by names that characterized their habits or appearance. This was an ancient tradition, because people have long believed that the name contains a fateful code. This is how the girls’ names appeared: Krasava and Razumnitsa.
It is worth noting that such a tradition was not only among the Slavs. The Indians and Chinese also named children according to traditions. In India they gave characteristic names, like Ayashi (small), Evoti (great). The Chinese tried to give a child a terrible name, because they believed that bad spirits might covet a beloved child, and if they named him almost offensively, the spirits would think that this child was not loved. This was more true for boys, although girls were sometimes given strange names.
The Slavs gave great importance family and occupation, some names are even associated with the order of birth of children. So Lydia will mean “first”. The name Pervusha was popular.
The Slavs believed that the name is the key to the inner world and gave girls two names. This is how the tradition of choosing a name for people and for the family arose. The first was told to everyone, but the second was known only to those closest to them, and it contained a secret good meaning. The first was usually ugly and repulsive, but it made it possible to protect the true from bad tongues.
The second name was given only at a certain age, when the teenager showed character. However, the tradition did not take root - usually the girl was as her first name characterized her. The second name, due to not being used, lost its meaning.
After the adoption of Christianity, the names were entered into church calendars, and, as it were, the child was given over to the protection of a guardian angel. As you know, not all Slavs willingly accepted the customs of Christianity, so for a long time children, in parallel with Christian names, were given old pagan nicknames. Later, many of them became modern surnames.
However, the pressure of Christianity was great. Closer to the 17th century, many Old Russian female names went out of use. They were replaced by the names of states that spread Christianity or were influential at that time - Byzantium, Egypt, Greece, Italy, Syria. Many names were transformed into the Russian style, and, for example, instead of Avdotya it turned out to be Evdokia. Today, many people would be surprised at how their names sounded in the original.
Only the names of the saints remained unchanged. Ancient tradition Giving a child two names also took root in Rus', but the second name given at baptism was usually not used. The second name was often Greek.
The church list provides a choice a large number of female names. Both Christian believers and atheists can choose names. Moreover, the calendar allows you to select a name by month and even birthday. To name a child according to the Saints means to give him protection from the saint revered on this day. There is another tradition, choosing a saint on the eighth day after birth. If there are no Saints on the birthday, then choose the name of the saint honored on the fortieth day. Previously, it was on this day that a child was baptized.
It is also allowed to use a male name if there is no female name according to the Saints. That's why there are so many genderless names (Evgenia, Alexandra, Yaroslav, Vyacheslav).
The Slavs definitely loved beautiful two-basic names. For example, Svetozar, Miroslav, Lyubomir, Dobrognev, . Often girls were called names that emphasized certain traits of their character. This is how the names Arina (calm), Dobrava (kind), Varvara (wild), Svetlana (bright), Arsenia (courageous) appeared. Since the Slavs revered the cult of animals and plants, many girls’ names are taken from the world of flora and fauna. These are Azalea, Akulina, Pike.
There were names borrowed from the gods. The famous one was considered a goddess morning dawn, Apollinaria - the goddess of the sun (about the ancient Greek sun god Apollo), the goddess of beauty and love Lada. Some original Russian names were modified participles (Bazhena). A separate group included names for princely children (Vyacheslav).
Today you can find old Slavic names, which in reality had only a Slavic root. There were names that translated Greek and Roman.

Are you choosing a name for your newborn son? Parents always dream of their child being the happiest and healthiest. And the first thing you can do for it is to give it the right name. After all, a name is a sign that influences not only the character, but also the fate of a person.
But the problem is that, firstly, the list of names is huge. Secondly, I would like to consider the strong and euphonious Slavic male names that have become popular again. In the article you will find out what traditions existed in naming boys in Rus' and what the Slavic names meant.
Our ancestors, the Slavs, were strong and beautiful people. Rus' was famous for its heroes, and their names were bright. We learn about this from folk tales, epic. The poem “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign” presents us with a number of wonderful heroes with memorable names.
When choosing a Slavic name for a boy, our ancestors Special attention paid attention to its significance. It had to necessarily reflect the character traits of the future man, warrior or successor of the family - grandfather, father. The names of men differed from the names of peoples of other countries in their connection with the forces of Nature, gods and clan.
Slavic names for boys were chosen by parents depending on the type of employment, in honor of glorious ancestors, based on the child’s character qualities.
For example, Dobrynya is kind,
Vsevolod - owner of everything,
Rodomir – the bringer of peace and many others.
The sons were named in honor of the pagan gods: the name Jaromir consists of two roots - Yarilo (sun god) and peace.
There were names indicating the order of birth of a child in the family: Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak.
The most common group is represented by two-basic names: Bogdan, Vsevolod, Svetozar, Svyatoslav, Ratibor, Tihomir, Yaropolk.
There were names associated with mythical characters, representatives of flora and fauna, and natural phenomena: Brave, Pike, Hare, Yarilo, Lada.
This was mainly influenced by the baptism of Rus', which occurred in the 10th century. Pagan beliefs were replaced by a national unified religion. With the change of faith, changes also occurred in people’s lives, their way of life, and their worldview.
Bans were imposed on the original Slavic names, so they gradually faded from memory and were forgotten. They were replaced by Hebrew, Byzantine, Greek, Babylonian, Syrian names. In the 19th century, very few Russian names remained; names of Latin origin appeared in families. IN modern Russia According to statistics, there were only 5% of boys with Old Russian names.
Male Slavic names had a sacred meaning. They are beautiful, euphonious, and also strong-willed and strong. You can easily recognize them. Usually they consist of two bases: the first is the main one and was given at the birth of a child, the second was added when the boy grew up and had certain merits and showed himself in something. For example,
Absey - born on the first day of spring,
Vsemil - dear to everyone,
Daroslav - giver of the word,
Yaropolk is an ardent warrior.
In the Slavic name book there used to be a lot of names. Currently, most of them are completely forgotten. So, if you want to name your baby a traditional Slavic name, then take a closer look at the following list.

Of course, this list cannot be called complete, but it gives an idea of what the ancient Slavic male names were like.
Having analyzed the meanings of ancient Slavic names, you will, of course, agree that they sound melodious, full of nobility, courage, and strength. They contain deep meaning and powerful positive energy. The more men with such names, the better and healthier the world becomes. This is also a return to one’s origins and roots. Slavic names are energetically much stronger than foreign ones. And what more people have names with positive energy, the better and cleaner the energy-informational background of the Earth.
Of course, no one is calling on you, parents, to completely abandon your usual names, such as Danil, Maxim, Arthur, Artyom, Egor, Arseny, Nikita, Semyon, Konstantin, Alexander, Nikolai, Kirill.
It’s just that among the ancient and forgotten there are many beautiful and noble ones. By giving your child an ancient Slavic name, you strengthen your family, make it stronger and cleanse it of bad energy. This is the power of a person’s name. The choice is yours.
A name determines a person's destiny. This is the key to his inner self. After all, it is not without reason that in Rus' a person had two names, one – false, for everyone, and the other – secret, only for the person himself and his very close people. This tradition existed as protection from unkind spirits and unkind people.
Often the first Slavic name was deliberately unattractive (Kriv, Nekras, Zloba), for even greater protection from evil ones. After all, without the key to the essence of a person, it is much more difficult to cause evil. The rite of the second naming was performed in adolescence, when the main character traits were formed. The name was given based on these traits. Slavic names were replete with their diversity; there were groups of names:
1) Names from the animal and flora(Pike, Ruff, Hare, Wolf, Eagle, Nut, Borscht)
2) Names by birth order (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak)
3) Names of gods and goddesses (Lada, Yarilo)
4) Names based on human qualities (Brave, Stoyan)
5) And the main group of names is two-basic (Svyatoslav, Dobrozhir, Tihomir, Ratibor, Yaropolk, Gostomysl, Velimudr, Vsevolod, Bogdan, Dobrogneva, Lyubomila, Mirolyub, Svetozar) and their derivatives (Svyatosha, Dobrynya, Tishilo, Ratisha, Putyata, Yarilka , Miloneg).
From the listed names, it is easy to trace the process of creating a derivative name: the second part is cut off from the two-base one and a suffix or ending is added (-neg, -lo, -ta, -tka, -sha, -yata, -nya, -ka).
Example: Svyatoslav: Svyato + sha = Svyatosha.
Of course, the names of people carry a significant part of the culture and traditions of the entire people. In Russia, with the advent of Christianity, Slavic names almost completely fell into oblivion. There were lists of Slavic names prohibited by the church. Why this happened is not difficult to guess. One part of the names (Lada, Yarilo) were the names of Slavic gods, the owners of the second part were people who, even after the Christianization of Rus', tried to restore the cult and traditions (magi, heroes). Today in Russia only 5% of children are given Slavic names, which certainly impoverishes the already meager Slavic culture.

Old Russian names contain a whole layer of the history of Ancient Rus'. This is a rich heritage that modern parents are increasingly turning to in the hope of finding an unusual, beautiful name for their child. Choose suitable name for a girl the task is doubly difficult. And Slavic names for girls sound very melodious, which is why they become popular.
Ethnologists do not stop working to clarify the origin and exact value names, because this is an inexhaustible source of material on the history of long-vanished peoples, their mythology, the characteristics of their family and social relations. The same source of valuable material are Old Russian names for girls.
It is difficult to conduct research related to the etymology of Slavic names, because Old Slavic names for girls sometimes have several regional meanings and are not interpreted unambiguously. That is why even today the meanings of some names are disputed, and cause heated discussions among specialists and those simply passionate about onomastics (a branch of linguistics whose specialization is the study of any proper names).
Before the baptism of Rus', infants were named according to ancient Russian custom with names that reflected their character and disposition. These could be Old Russian names for girls: Reasonable, Silent, Krasava, Kudryana. Many nations assigned names according to this principle, for example, the usual Indian maiden names are: Ayasha– small, miniature, Evoti- great, Litonya– fluttering hummingbird, Sly Fox. What was important for assigning a name was the main family occupation and the sequence when a child was born (First, Smallest). Similar ancient Russian names for girls reflecting birth order are Lydia- first, Aza.

After the adoption of Christianity, names began to be entered into church calendars. Since the 14th century, children were called by Christian names, but various kinds of nicknames existed in parallel. Together with baptismal names, they later formed Russian surnames (Petya - Petrov, Vol - Volkov).
Gradually, Old Russian women's names are completely replaced by church names that came from Byzantium. And to XVII century Greek and Byzantine names have spread so much that ancient Russian female names are falling out of use, and instead girls are called Greek, Roman, Egyptian, and even Syrian names. Very often these were not names as such, but the names of certain phenomena and elements. The names became pleasant to the ear after they were modified, adapting to the peculiarities Slavic languages (Avdotya became Evdokia, Name Anfusa transformed into Anfisa).
Only those of the Old Russian Slavic names with which the saints were named (names given at baptism) remained unchanged. Two-basic names began to be widely used: they were called by one name, and the baptismal name (of Greek origin) was used only in the church.

Old Slavic female names appeared that had nothing in common with Slavic names. But they had the root of a Slavic name. Thus, the names repeated the Hellenistic version. For example, names popular among Russians Faith Hope Love are prototypes of Greek names Pistis, Elpis, Agape.
Paired ancient Slavic female names were widely used, because it was believed that a woman’s name, like the name of a person in general, serves as a secret key, by selecting which one can influence the formation inner world. Therefore, the first name was chosen for strangers, and the second, which is kept secret and which only relatives know. It was believed that in this simple way, ancient Russian female names could protect a girl from the influence of evil spirits and unkind people. The girl’s first name or false name, as a rule, was deliberately ugly (Zloba), which became a double protection for the bearer of such a dissonant name.
A girl was called by her second and main name only when she reached a certain age. It was believed that the teenager already had clearly expressed basic character traits, and therefore it was easy to decide on a name. The tradition of calling a girl by two names quickly faded away, since the unseemly nickname with which she was called every day more often manifested itself in her character traits. And the second name did not reflect the true character, since if not used, it lost its symbolic meaning.
The beautiful Slavic names for girls that have appeared reflect the best feminine qualities:
Find more information as well full list Old Russian female names are always available on the Internet. A dictionary of such names was compiled by N.M. Dead ends. In addition, there are not only calendar Old Russian female names, a complete list, but also common Slavic ones. There are not so many truly Russian names that make up the extensive list of Slavic female names. Most of the names presented in the name book come from ancient languages, such as Greek, Germanic, and Egyptian.

IN church calendar or the name book presents an extensive list of Slavic female names, from which parents, both believers and those who do not adhere to Christian traditions, take names for girls. The list of saints' names includes female Slavic names by month, most of which are considered anachronistic. However, many young parents prefer these long-forgotten, rare names. The Saints are that inexhaustible source of ideas that gives a child an unusual name.
When choosing names according to the Saints, take into account the date of birth and the name of the Saint who is commemorated on this day. But another option is also possible, when the child is named after the Saint, who is also remembered on the eighth day. In the event that there is no name suitable for the child’s birthday, then the name of the Saint is taken, which falls on the fortieth day from the date of birth. On this day, the child was usually baptized.
Old Russian female names in male variations are not a rare event. For girls, it is allowed to choose male names, since there are few women among the Saints. Male names easily change to Old Russian female names (Evgeniy - Evgenia, Alexander - Alexandra).
The difference between Old Russian Slavic names and Old Church Slavonic ones.
Old Russian names are precisely the names that are found in Old Russian sources, chronicles, and charters. These names served as the basis for modern surnames and toponyms (geographical names). Therefore, one can only guess how many two-part names existed, and how many of them have been forgotten. The list of common Slavic names is represented by a smaller number.
Unlike men's, there are few women's names in such sources. It's not hard to guess why. At that time, women did not take an active part in public life, and therefore were not included in the documents. But that's not the only reason small quantity female names. Most of the female names were formed from existing male ones. Girls were also often called by their father's changed name.
Undoubtedly, the complete list of Old Church Slavonic female names is not just a set of beautiful names. This is a reflection of the culture of the people and a piece of the great heritage Kievan Rus. From time to time, fashion for ancient Russian names comes like a wave, and it goes away in the same way. But now people are trying to return to their native roots, and therefore children are increasingly called not Angels, Suzannes, and Jeannes, but Slavic names, sometimes embellishing them a little or even inventing new ones.
