Today, expectant mothers know the gender of the baby in advance. Therefore, those who are expecting a girl want to choose a suitable name before her birth. It is interesting to know what traditions are best guided by parents? How did it happen in Russia? It is believed that by naming we choose the fate of a person. We will try in the article to fully answer the question of what name to give to a girl born in August.
Russian traditions
Often in Russia, even at the initial stage of pregnancy, the unborn child was dedicated to a specific saint. It was to her that they prayed for a successful birth, the health of the baby, and asked that the mother have enough milk. Saints and boys were chosen in the same way. After the birth of a newborn, she was given the name of a reverend, becoming her guardian angel.
Saints are another tradition. It was for them that church names were chosen for girls born in August. If you look at their meanings, they seem to be filled with the bliss of farewell to summer, peace and tranquility. The names were selected closer to the day when the newborn was born. But it is believed that any name from the Orthodox calendar for August will be appropriate. Let's consider them in more detail.
Names according to the calendar (first half of the month)
Born on the first and second numbers, the calendar calls for either a Slavic name Militsa(sweetheart) or Latin Macrina, which means it belongs to Macru. These names are rare, so more often girls are called by a Jewish name. Anna signifying the grace of God. In the holy calendar, it corresponds to number 3, but few adhere to a strict order. The fourth of August is the name day Mary(translated from Hebrew - "desired") and Zinaida which means "caring". The fifth number is again associated with the name Anna and also it's name day Stella(star). Next birthday suggests naming Christina(Christian).
Beautiful names for girls born in August, on the 7th, the church offers in the calendar. This is blandina, meaning "affectionate" and "daughter of Olympus" Olympics. Those born on August 8 can be called either Paraskeva(Praskovya), which means "holiday eve", or Sylvia(forest). Greek name Anfisa(blooming) corresponds to the 9th number. The Orthodox calendar proposes on August 10 to name girls with the following names: Antonina or Drosis. Translated from Latin, the first name means "entering the battle", the second - "irrigating".

Born in August: characteristics
To figure out which name is suitable for a girl born in August, let's try to start with the characteristics of the month itself, which means "majestic, divine" in translation. A significant part of it passes under the sign of Leo, so it is no coincidence that people born in Augusta have an independent and proud disposition. If it were possible to characterize a person in one word, "royal" would be the most appropriate.
August people strive for leadership in any business, like to be in the spotlight, calmly accepting recognition and honor. They are distinguished by independence from the opinions of others, they always act in their own way. But it is precisely the royal character that does not allow them to stoop to pettiness and intrigue. Deeply decent and honest, they expect the same from other people. They are also distinguished by selflessness and generosity, developed intelligence.
Taking advantage of the attention of the opposite sex, they are not exchanged for momentary adventures, real family values are more important for them.
Names according to character
Given the above, it is obvious that the most correct thing is to choose a bright, exotic name for the baby, corresponding to the royal person. It should also emphasize the giftedness of nature. As a recommendation, the following options are offered:
- Helen The name is derived from Helios, the sun god of the ancient Greeks. Often associated with Helen of Troy, who started the war described by Homer. In Christianity, the name is very revered, which is associated with Helen of Constantinople, the mother of the famous Roman emperor. It was this name that Princess Olga (Kievan Rus) took for herself at baptism.
- Anastasia Surrounding people especially note its beauty, majesty and tenderness. "Reborn", "resurrected" is a translation from Greek. In Orthodoxy, three holy martyrs bore this name, patronizing pregnant women, prisoners and livestock.
- Angelina In translation, this is not just a "messenger", it is an "angel", which makes the name rare in terms of the beauty of its sound. It is Orthodox, for the deeds of St. Angelina of Serbia are described in Christian literature.
- Mylene It goes back to Slavic roots. Girls born in August, names with the meaning "sweetheart" can be worn in other ways (Milica, Miloslava, Milana, Melania, Milomir). Parents can only choose.
- Ulyan In Soviet times, the name almost fell into disuse. This is the Slavic version of Julia, meaning "descent from the Julii".
Astrology to the rescue
I want girls born in August to have beautiful names. But it is important to consider the signs of the zodiac. Then the babies will be protected from troubles and reach certain heights in life. The name should be chosen according to the happiest planet that patronizes a person. Until August 23, a person is born under the constellation Leo, from the 24th - Virgo. For Leo girls, consider the following options recommended by professional astrologers:
- Alexandra, Angela, Alla, Arina, Antonina;
- Bella, Barbara, Diana, Daria, Clara, Zhanna;
- Love, Lolita, Lydia, Lada, Margarita;
- Nonna, Natalia, Nadezhda, Rostislava, Regina, Rosa, Roxana;
- Eleanor, Ulyana, Emma, Elvira, Ella, Yana, Julia.
Particular attention should be paid to the fact that individual names also coincide with the Orthodox calendar. Girls Devs should be called like this:
- Anita, Anastasia, Alevtina, Victoria, Valentina, Diana, Dina;
- Zoya, Zinaida, Elizabeth, Irma, Irina, Inga, Inna, Inessa;
- Xenia, Christina, Lydia, Rostislav, Regina, Taisiya, Tatyana, Tamara, Stanislav.
Famous Women Born in August
Parents themselves choose what name to name a girl born in August. They can be guided by any of the proposed principles. It is interesting to know which of the prominent women has achieved a lot, while wearing the beautiful name mentioned in the article? Among them are actresses: Irina Skobtseva, Tatyana Vasilyeva, Natalya Gundareva. Women who have achieved heights in other professions, journalist - Anna Politkovskaya, cosmonaut - Svetlana Savitskaya, storyteller - Anna Baryshnikova.
If you have been thinking for a long time about what name to give the baby born in August, then we advise you to turn to the Orthodox list. Such a church calendar is called the Saints. Modern families very often give girls unusual names to distinguish her from the crowd. But does a child need such attention? Will it be difficult for her to live with such a name? Wouldn't it be easier to give her a simple, Russian name? If you are believing parents, then for sure you will not like such an "exotic", and you will want to choose the name of the Saint for the child. Moreover, there is an opinion that the Saint, in whose honor the baby is named, will protect and patronize her throughout her life.
How to choose the names of girls according to Saints in August?
It should be noted that choosing names for newborns according to the church calendar is a long tradition. There is a belief among the people that along with the name, a piece of spiritual Holiness also passes to the child. In the Saints of August, a girl can choose from a variety of names, not only native Russian ones like Martha or Matryona, but also modern names such as Arina, Angelina. In addition, old Russian names are becoming relevant in modern society. People began to give their daughters such names as Maria, Anna, Anastasia, Julia, Alexandra, Elizabeth and Barbara more often. But it is rare when you can meet a girl with such a name as Euphrosinia, Agrippina, Vassa, Martha and Fevronia.
Many girls' names in the Saints of August have Hebrew (for example, Mary), Aramaic (Martha) and Greek (Veronica) roots. There are even names of girls that have been adapted from other languages, for example, the name Olga came from the Scandinavian name Helga, from the name Helen - Elena. Looking through the Saints of different monasteries, you can notice the difference in their compilation. It should be noted that each church or monastery has its own list of Saints, and each compiles it at his own discretion. That is why the Saints differ from each other. But so far there is no single, correct edition of the Saints. The main requirement that the Church makes to the compilation of the Orthodox calendar is that all names must be canonized. Therefore, when choosing the name of the girls according to the Saints in August, we advise you to contact the church where you will baptize the baby and take the church calendar from them.
Names of girls according to the Saints: August
Many parents know that a name is a kind of identifier for a person. At the same time, a lot depends on the name: character traits, behavior, and even, to some extent, the fate of a person. That is why people approach this matter responsibly, carefully choosing a name for the boy. There are several ways to choose names for children. You can choose a name for a boy, for example, by the meaning of names, by sound and by the church calendar. And if you wish, you can combine all these methods of selecting names.
So, we choose the names of the boys according to the Saints: August
If you choose names from a huge list of names, then most likely it is impossible to make a choice in favor of a name in one day, or even in a week. After all, at least two people participate in such an exciting process (future dad and mom), and sometimes four more are added to these two in the form of grandparents. At such a family council, as a rule, heated disputes flare up, disagreements arise. It is much easier to use the 3 above methods in a combined form and choose the appropriate name for the child.
In this regard, it was much easier for our ancestors, they called the children according to the Saints. The boy was given the name of the Saint, on the day of which he was born or baptized. There are a lot of Greek and Latin names in the Saints, but many of them have been modified over time, so they have become similar to native Russian names.
For a very long time, the calendar was a good helper in choosing names, until the era of the USSR came. At that time, the authorities forbade the use of church names, and instead of them new neologism names appeared, more often complexly abbreviated derivatives from the slogans of that time. There are neologisms that sound beautiful and unusual, but there are also absurd options. For example, the name Ninel (reverse from Lenin) is beautiful and unusual, but the name Dazdraperma (Long live May Day!) is a quiet horror, the same applies to the name Kukutsapol (Corn is the queen of the fields). At the same time, each time has its own unusual names. But what to do now, how to choose names these days?
A very popular method at the moment is the choice of a name according to the Saints. To do this, you need to find the date of birth of the child in the Orthodox calendar and write out all the available names on that day (you can also take the next days after the date of birth until the eighth day from the date of birth). For example, your child was born on August 16th. On this day, the Orthodox Church celebrates the day of memory of such Saints as: Anton, Vyacheslav, Nikolai. But you can take, for example, the name from August 17: Maxim, Ivan, Denis, Konstantin, Mikhail, Dmitry, or August 18 - Semyon, Ivan. You can safely choose your favorite name among the proposed options.
