English surnames
English (British surnames) became widespread between 1250 and 1450. The first surnames in England appeared in the 12th century and were the privilege of the nobility; in the 17th century, all segments of the population already had surnames.
Typically, in English-speaking countries, a full name consists of three components: the first name, the middle name, and the last name.
The wide range of English surnames reflects the history of England. English surnames were formed (like other peoples) from nicknames, and they can be divided into groups.
Surnames formed:
By place of residence
By occupation (profession)
By appearance
By titles and positions

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities are not yet able to cope with the growing influx of “Cheating for profit” madness.
Therefore, please be careful!

established in late XVIII V. The American nation unites not only the descendants of settlers from all parts of the world, but also indigenous people- Indians. For a long time, under the influence of the traditions of other countries and peoples, the culture of the American people was formed, which was reflected in the names of the Americans themselves. Many common American names take their origins from Greek, Italian, Latin, Asian, and ancient Germanic origin.
Rare names that originate not only from the abbreviation are very popular among the American population. geographical names, related to history, but also the surnames of famous people, combining several names into one, etc.
Let us conditionally divide American names by origin into the following groups:
- names associated with a person’s character traits (cheerful, smart, brave, courageous);
- names associated with the names of animals and plants, natural phenomena; - names meaning different professions;
- names borrowed from the Bible.
America is a colonial country, so the same names enjoy different popularity in different states of the country. For example, in Spanish villages it is popular male name Federico (Federico), in Irish regions – Patrick (Patrick), in Italian – Paulo (Paulo).
Choosing a name for a newborn also has great value. When choosing a name for a child, Americans are guided by the following principles: the combination of first and last names, the origin of the name and its secret meaning. To pay tribute to family traditions and the memory of ancestors, parents give the child the name that was borne by the father, grandfather or great-grandfather. If there is already a person in the family with the same name, then the prefix “senior” or “junior” is added at the beginning of the name.
The desire of Americans to add a “zest” to a child’s name is not limited to simply choosing a beautiful and memorable name. The parents' imagination knows no bounds - a child can become the “lucky” owner of the name of the brand of the parents’ favorite car, a politician whose speeches did not leave the parents indifferent, another celebrity, a favorite city, etc. In this situation, the choice falls on the most unexpected objects. You can meet children named Lexus, Madison, Infinity.
Surely not everyone knows that Sarah Jessica Parker, Mary-Kate Olsen or Sean William Scott are double names. What is the tradition behind giving a child a middle name at birth? The tradition of the second (or middle name) developed in the 19th century. European immigration in the 1830s and 1840s caused the population of the United States to grow, and as a result, the number of people with the same first and last names increased. A second name began to be used as an additional means of identification. Children were given middle names in honor of famous political, religious, public figures and the military (for example, George Washington, the first president of the United States, or John Wesley, one of the founders of Methodism).
Another version is to protect the child from evil spirits and death. At baptism, the child was given several names in order to confuse death in case of danger that threatened the child during an outbreak of fatal diseases.
Sometimes the middle name is associated with a certain area or the names of ancestors, as well as the surnames of other people.
This tradition still lives on in modern American families.
The most popular modern American names

The melody and beauty of the sound of a surname is another reason for the pride of its bearers. A person’s desire for changes in life could not but be reflected in the desire to change his last name or first name to the name of a famous person in the entertainment industry or politics. Sources for inspiration can be found by those interested in the names of natural phenomena, representatives of flora and fauna, and the names of geographical objects. In the search for a more beautiful first or last name, improvisation is not a hindrance.

Rare and unusual English names
A unique name is chosen as a symbol of a unique, special child and family.
A unique name is chosen as a symbol of an exceptional, special child and family.
TOP 5 unusual male names in English
- Prescott. This superb English name meaning "Rectory" was given to 18 boys in 2016. It can be shortened to "Scott" as a nickname if he thinks it sounds too strict.
- Grover. Although there were many Grovers during the 20th century, such as President Cleveland, as well as the lovable blue weirdo from Sesame Street. Another famous Grover is jazz saxophonist Grover Washington Jr. But only 19 boys were named Grover in 2016.
- Oberon. The character Oberon in Shakespeare's play "The Dream of summer night" is the king of fairies and elves, but the name itself, with the accented "o" at the beginning, demonstrates a much more masculine image. Oberon was also seen as a fairy-tale king in an ancient Germanic legend, a French heroic song, in dramatic work for the Ben-Johnson Mask Theater and in several operas. He also appeared in the Disney animated film Gargoyles. In ancient England the name was written as "Auberon".
- Regis. This holy French name means "royal". Today the name is most often associated with the venerable talk show host Regis Philbin
(Regis Philbin). Only 10 parents chose this name for their son in 2016, so chances are your son will be the only "Regis" in your life. - Thelonious. Best known as the name of legendary jazz pianist Thelonious Monk, 20 boys received this unique name in 2016. Origin obliged German name"Tillman" means "one who tills the land" and "Thelonius" is a Latinized variation of the word.
TOP 5 unusual female names in English
Since many people are looking for a "unique" name, finding something truly unique can be extremely difficult, especially when it comes to girls. Historically, girls' names have tended to be fashionable, while boys' names have been more conservative. For example, while the most popular girl's name changed every 10 years, the name "Michael" has remained in the top ten for over 75 years. Thanks to this, there are more popular beautiful female names than male ones. In addition, many trending “unusual” names for girls come from men’s names. So if you're looking for something unusual but distinctly feminine, then you might have to dig a little deeper.
The names below are given to 10 or fewer baby girls each year, so of course there's a small chance she'll have to share her unique name with someone else. But, if you want your newest addition to the family to stand out among the Emmas, Olivias and Sophias, then feel free to choose one of the unusual names below for your little princess.
- Flannery. Perhaps you haven't gotten around to reading it yet famous story Flannery O'Connor, "Everything That Rises Must Converge". But that shouldn't stop you from going for this warm-sounding Irish name. "Flannery" comes from "flann" and "gal", which means "ruddy" and "bravery" in Irish. Only 10 little girls received this name in 2016.
- Alberta. The English name, meaning "noble" and "bright", probably comes from the western province of Canada. However, there is information that the province is actually named after Princess Louise Caroline Alberta, one of Queen Victoria's daughters. Although the name may be quite popular abroad, only 9 girls were named with it in 2016.
- Sigourney. Who knows, maybe the new “Alien” would have turned out quite tolerable if it had been there main woman the entire franchise. Not many parents name their daughters Sigourney. In fact, only 8 families chose it in 2016, but we do know that it is the name of the winner (which is what it means, by the way). Even Sigourney Weaver herself once admitted in an interview that she changed her first name “Susan”, inspired by a character from the novel “The Great Gatsby” by Francis Scott Fitzgerald.
- Talullah. The main thing is that it is not Tanunnah. While celebrities like Demi Moore, Patrick Dempsey and Philip Seymour Hoffman have named their daughters Tallulah, only seven families chose this charming Choctaw name meaning "jumping water" in 2016. Previously associated with stage and screen's greatest star, Talullah Bankhead, the name has now largely established itself as the go-to name for Southern belles. Another meaning of the name is “shining girl.”
- Antigone. Just like the name of the anti-theft system. The meaning of the name is “instead of a child.” If you want to make a solid name choice with a good history, Antigone is a good choice. The brave and principled heroine of an oft-told story in Greek mythology- hits the target and even more. Although the name has been known throughout history, parents have made it a slightly unusual choice for their daughters - only 8 families named their daughters Antigone in 2016. We'd say "Tig" sounds pretty cute too. Girls named Antigone are distinguished by their courage and independence. In childhood, this manifests itself in the form of pronounced self-will and excessive curiosity even for a child.
Double English names
If one name is not enough for you, you can try another route. In fact, giving children double names is a relatively recent tradition. Until the 18th century, people got by with only one first and last name. For a long time, the source of names was mainly the only one - a list of saints and holidays in calendar order (church calendar). But there were quite a lot of variations on the theme of church names among the people: in English, the Latin form “Maria” was transformed into “Mary” (Mary), which, in turn, gave the diminutive “Molly” (Molly), and then “Polly” ( Polly). The name "Joannes" comes from Hebrew. Yohanan, gave in medieval England the forms “Jan”, “Iohn” and “John” (John), as well as the diminutives “Jankin”, “Jackin”, and only then popular name"Jack" (Jack). A female uniform"Ioanna", borrowed from the French "Jeanne" (Jeanne), immediately turned into three independent names: "Jane" (Jane), "Jean" (Jean) and "Joan" (Joan).
That's all for us. If you suddenly decide to move to the USA and start a family there, you will definitely know what to name your offspring!

USA, 2012–2014
United States of America. State in North America. The capital is Washington. Population – 304,191,257 (2008). Dominant (except in Hawaii) Caucasian(immigrants from the United Kingdom, Germany, Ireland and other European countries). African Americans, Hispanics, Asians, Indians and others account for over a third of the population. Official language(de facto) – English. Religious composition: Protestants - 51.3%, Roman Catholics - 23.9%, Mormons - 1.7%, other Christians - 1.6%, Jews - 1.7%, Buddhists - 0.7%, Muslims - 0.6 %, other unspecified - 2.5%, others not affiliated - 12.1% none - 4% (2004).
The main source for statistics on names in the United States is data from the US Social Security Administration. His website has a section dedicated to names. Name statistics are given for each year, starting from 1879. It is possible to view it in different sorting - by year, by decade, the first 10 names, the first 20, the first 50, the first 100, the first 1000, by state. The data for these statistics comes from Social Security cards. The most recent data is from 2014. As stated on the website, for the period before 1937, when only a small part of the country's population was covered by Social Security cards, the data on name choice is not comprehensive. It is also reported that different spellings of a name are counted as separate names. It is also noted that linking a name to gender is not always correct. This applies to names that can be either male or female and is explained by the fact that names from those Social Security cards where simply “child” or “unknown” are indicated instead of gender were also taken into account.
Here I want to show only the 25 most common names of 2014. To show the trends in the popularity of names, data for 2013 and 2012 are also provided. More full picture every visitor to this page can find it on the US Social Security Administration website (links at the end of the page). I will also show the similarities and differences in the choice of names between some states. I selected the latter in such a way that the most populous states from different regions of the country were represented: Texas (south), California (west), New York (east), Illinois (closer to the geographic center).
Another interesting source for choosing names in the USA is the website of the New York City Department of Health and Human Hygiene. It contains data on the 10 most common names of newborns in the city for 1898, 1928, 1948, 1980, 1990, 2000 and 2002-2010. Also on the organization's website you can find lists of names of newborns with a frequency of 10 and above (for example, for 2009 and 2010), in which names are classified by ethnicity and race. There are four groups on that site: Hispanics (can be of any race), non-Hispanic African Americans, non-Hispanic whites, and Asians and Pacific Islanders.
