How to choose a boy's name according to the Saints? What names are suitable for boys born in January? According to Christian custom, the parents give the boy a name in honor of the Saint on whose memorial day the child was born. Or this date can be chosen on the eighth day after the birth of the boy. The church Saints calendar will help you find the names of boys according to the Saints of January, where all the names of the canonized Saints are listed in order.
In Rus', the tradition of naming a newborn boy according to the Saints has existed for a long time; the date was chosen directly on the baby’s birthday. Some families named the child with a name that came on the eighth day after the date of birth, that is, on the day of the baptism ceremony. This approach to choosing names is also acceptable. Unlike boys, girls' names could be chosen according to the Saints with a postponement of several days, since often on the traditional day there is no name of Holy women.
Why did people start giving their children names according to the Saints?
Believing families believe that, according to the Christian tradition, God himself indicates the date of birth of the baby, and thereby indicates the name of the child that should be given to him. In addition, people believe that the Saint they choose will be the guardian angel of their son and will protect and protect him for the rest of his life.
Everywhere, parents choose a name for a newborn according to the Saints, but if they cannot choose suitable name, a priest can do this for them. Some churches allow a boy to take a name on his birthday, on the eighth day from the date of birth, at which time the rite of naming is performed. You can also choose names within forty days after birth (at this time, as a rule, the sacrament of baptism is performed). Book of Saints or list of names by church calendar You can take it from the church or monastery where you will baptize the child. It should be noted that each church has its own edition of names according to the Saints, since there is no one common version of the Saints for all churches in Russia. The main thing is that all the Saints use the names of canonized Saints. We hope that the following list will help you in choosing a boy's name for the Saints in January.

Earlier, in one of our articles, we talked about, in this article we will talk about representatives strong half humanity born during this period. Boys born in January are the standard of courage. They have a sense of purpose, balance, good thinking and reliable memory. Such boys later become excellent leaders who are able to take into account every little detail and keep every subordinate under control. In achieving success, they are often helped by their appetite for risk, but this is not without competent miscalculation and carefully thought-out decisions. They are also very independent and resort to outside help or advice in extreme cases; in turn, they will never refuse support to those in need, both material and moral. Because of their reasonableness, such children often seem much older than their years, and it is always very interesting to be with them. These boys usually make loyal and devoted friends. Despite so much positive qualities The character of these boys is not without its drawbacks. The biggest of which is pride. But their prudence and common sense usually make it possible to restrain this negative quality.
Such boys, as a rule, grow up to be wonderful family men who are able to make their family members feel like they are “behind a stone wall.” These are excellent and faithful spouses caring for children and home. Usually they take the solution to all problems into their own hands and do everything successfully.
