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.

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 plant world (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 by 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, people's names carry significant part culture and traditions of all 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 names 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 Slavic names only 5% of children are named, which certainly impoverishes the already meager Slavic culture.

People have always been careful when choosing a name, because this is an energy-informational program that is set from birth and accompanies a person throughout everything. life path. The character and fate of not only its bearer, but also the entire country, depend on the name. After all, what more people have strong and “good” names, the stronger the country.

Rus' was famous for its people, nowhere were there so many heroes, and today we propose to remember and consider the forgotten male names. They almost all disappeared into oblivion. When the baptism of Holy Rus' took place, they were replaced by Greek, Jewish, Roman and other names of foreign origin.

Why are old names forgotten?

With the baptism of Rus', faith also changed, and the pagan gods were replaced by a single God for all people. Until the moment of baptism, many people were named in honor of pagan rulers, this is how, for example, the name Jaromir came about, and it consists of two parts - the name of the god Yarilo plus the world. Changing their faith, people wanted to completely eradicate the old deities, erase them from memory, so they even changed their names. Bogatyrs and wise men were forcibly baptized and called them as prescribed by the new Christian faith.

Male Slavic names and their meanings have already been almost completely forgotten. Many parents mistakenly believe that they call their children old, forgotten, but still real Slavic names. For example, the same Ivan is a name known from many fairy tales, which is considered Russian. Yes, it is Russian, but not Slavic, and came from John, Jewish name, and appeared after baptism.

Many more such “erroneous” names can be included, for example, Matvey, Zakhar, Luke, Daniel. An overview of male Slavic names and their meanings is in the further contents of the article. We will look at the “strongest” and most beautiful ones, and future parents will be able to choose a real ancient Slavic name from the list.

How to recognize?

Male Slavic names were especially carefully selected, and their meanings were sacred meaning. It is possible to recognize such a name, and very simply. For example, the name Casimir is Slavic. It consists of “seems” or “to show” and “world”, that is, “showing the world”. But Parnassus, a name considered Slavic, is not such, since no meaning is captured by the ear.

It is also worth noting that the sound "a" was very rarely used in Ancient Rus' when scolding a baby. More often they chose the softer ones - “i”, “e”, “ya”.

Most often, male Slavic names consisted of two stems, and their meanings were immediately clear. The first part was the main one and was given at birth. The second part was added when the child grew to a certain age, and it symbolized merit, a sphere of influence or some object. Smerds, that is, people who are insolvent, powerless, were left without the second part of their name.

What were children named in Rus'?

Men's and were chosen by parents and reflected the type of employment. For example, peasants who were engaged in farming, fishing and hunting named their children without any special tricks, and their sons were called Hare, Catfish, Pike. It was from peasant names that many surnames originated.

Often, from birth, a baby was named so as not to be jinxed - the name was the complete opposite of appearance, character and mental abilities. Thus, the boys were called Fools, Negligents, Malices, Nekrasami and other ugly names. P

Later, when the guy was handed over to be raised by men, he was already named so that the name reflected the essence of the person. Future governors became Yaropolks, Dobrognevs and Ratibors. Hunters were given the names Brave, Stoyan, Eagle, Wolf and others like that. The particle “holy” was added to future clergy, hence the name Svyatoslav - real, ancient Slavic.

Often in families, children were called by the name and number with which they were born. There were usually a lot of children, so parents didn’t bother with the choice. This is how Pervushi, Vtoraki, Tretyak, Osmin and others appeared. Over time, the name changed to a two-part name, but family members continued to call the person as they were named at birth.

Terrible Slavs

It was male Slavic names that played a big role, and their meanings fully revealed the essence of character. If a boy was strong, tall and strong by the age of seven, he was handed over to be raised in a squad. And there they already named the boy based on his qualities. For example, Dubynya is strong and powerful, like an oak. Gorislav is as resilient as a mountain, but at the same time a nice guy! Dobrognev is angry, but in the name of good, that is, he will defeat all enemies for the sake of his homeland. Winter is calculating, persistent and cold. Mstislav is famous for his revenge.

Boys with flaws

If a child was born into a family with physical disabilities, then he was called the same as ordinary children, that is, a name that does not jinx it, but it already reflects the essence. For example, Nevzor is blind, unseeing, Koschey is skinny, Nekras is ugly, ugly. As the child grew older, his name also changed. Usually, boys with flaws grew into kind guys filled with love for everything. This is how the Bogomils appeared - dear to the gods, the Peacelubs - loving everyone, peace-loving, the Blagoslavs - famous for their kindness, the Sestromils and Bratomirs - beloved by brothers and sisters (that is, all people).

Names that have come down to us

There are still popular male Slavic names today, and their meanings are of interest to many. The list is small, but everyone has at least one friend with a name such as Vladimir, Vsevolod, Vladislav. They have come down to us because rulers, representatives of rich and noble families, and governors bore such names. Less popular today are Wenceslaus, Borislav and Borimir.

Examples from fairy tales

Some are men's and female names and their meaning existed even after the baptism of Rus'. These are decoy names that were given to babies in order to ward off trouble from them, evil forces and the evil eye. You can remember from fairy tales such heroes as Ivan the Fool, Koschey, and the Princess of the Unsmeyana. Even in literary work the ancient Slavic decoy name has been preserved - Mazai, that is, smeared.

Beautiful male Slavic names and their meanings: list

Today, Slavic names are gaining more and more popularity. Returning to one's roots plays an important role in cultural self-determination. Of course, we are not talking about a complete rejection of the names we are used to; it’s just that among the ancient and forgotten there are many beautiful ones:

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 him is to give correct 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.

What were boys called in Rus'?

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 whole line 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 – peace-bringer 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, natural phenomena: Brave, Pike, Hare, Yarilo, Lada.

Why are Slavic male names forgotten?

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 boys with Old Russian names according to statistics it was only 5%.

How to recognize Slavic 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.

It’s just that among the ancient and forgotten there are many beautiful and noble ones. Giving your child 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.

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.
