This article contains many different names for girls - both rare and very popular, Russian and widespread far beyond the borders of our country, as well as special significance. As already mentioned, the name has a strong influence on the development of the character and fate of the girl, therefore parents have a huge responsibility for the future of the child, even in such a seemingly symbolic moment as choosing a name.

Full Russian names– this is both a patronymic, a first name, and a surname. Moreover, the patronymic is precisely what distinguishes the system Russian names from systems adopted in other countries. And as additional forms of the name there are diminutives or nicknames. A person could be given a nickname at any age. It was connected with its owner even more closely than the name itself received at birth. A nickname spoke, for example, about some character trait of a person or about the place where he once lived. Most often, the nickname was known only to family and some good friends, but in everyday life it was used very actively. Despite the thin line between Old Russian names and nicknames, they were still not the same thing. It is very difficult to define the boundaries between these concepts.

For example, Russian women gave names to their children in order to protect them from evil or unkind deeds. Such names were formed from words that denoted any plants, animals or household items - and, naturally, were very similar to nicknames. The year of baptism (988) became a turning point for Rus'. From that moment on, much changed in naming, predetermining the naming system for many centuries to come. Now the Russians are like the rest East Slavs, who were accustomed to calling their children personal names until the end of the 10th century, were forced to get used to the concept of “baptismal name.” That’s when most of the names that are considered modern Russian to this day appeared. The new rules obliged parents to give their children a name only through the rite of baptism - only in this way could the name be considered correct and real.

Christian names had a variety of origins - Latin, Greek, Hebrew, since the Byzantine Greeks gathered together “representatives” of the name books of those peoples who came into contact with them. The calendar even included some “common Slavic” ones (Vladimir, Vsevolod, Svyatoslav, Yaroslav), as well as Scandinavian names (Igor, Olga, Oleg). True, they were considered a privilege of the high class, and commoners, as a rule, were not honored with them.

Only after 1917 did much change, and such “princely” names began to be used much more often. Towards the end of the 16th century, personal pagan nicknames and names were practically forced out of use. Foreign names took root with great difficulty, especially for common people, who found it difficult to pronounce them in their original form. In those days, there was an active struggle for the correct naming. A “humiliating” misspelling of a name was equated with causing shame and dishonor. The perpetrators were punished through the courts.

Only in 1675 was a royal decree issued, which prescribed a more loyal attitude towards this kind of “crime.” Now this situation seems curious to us, since all the names to which the Russian people got used to at that time with incredible efforts have long become familiar and familiar to us. Many are even surprised to learn that the majority, it would seem, Russian men's And female names have a completely different origin. This is such an interesting and eventful history of our names.
