Beautiful unusual Russian names. Names for girls - Rare and Beautiful and their meaning

Is it possible usual life a girl named Adele? Or will the handsome prince be able to pass by the lady named Violetta? Or Ariadne, which means “ruling”? Of course, a girl with such a rare name will carry it with her head held high. If only it goes with the middle name.

Although problems often arise with this: parents try to name their beloved child as beautifully as possible, forgetting that in 25 years “Olegovna” or something like that will be added to her beautiful, sonorous, most unusual name. This is where grandmothers usually come to the rescue, reminding us of common sense. True, it has become possible to register a child right in the maternity hospital, and this is usually done by the mother. Who will stop her, bursting with hormones?

Anna is the most important

Each country has a certain “list” of common and understandable names. Sometimes parents immediately think that the child (or themselves) will be mobile and consider options for moving, so they initially name the child so that foreign friends do not break their tongues when pronouncing, for example, the name Anastasia. Most Popular modern names in America - Angelina, Britney, Jessica, Gina, Kimberly, Marilyn, Pamela, Tiffany, Hayley, Charlotte. In the UK, for example, Amalie, Amalia, Anabel, Angellina, Bridget, Vanessa, Jennifer, Caroline, Lauren, Meidlin are held in high esteem. By the way, Western parents are very susceptible to various cultural influences. Let's say, the name Emma became very popular when a generation grew up that was a fan of the stories about Harry Potter: Hermione is too difficult name, so the girls were named after Emma Watson, who played the role of Hermione in the film adaptation. In Russia, there has recently been a wave of names in honor of characters from Game of Thrones; dozens of girls have already received the name Arya.

A girl's name is important not only for her parents, but also for the opposite sex. Not long ago, a sociological survey was conducted in our country, in which more than 50 thousand people took part. Based on its results, it became clear that the most handsome men names such as Anastasia, Ekaterina and Victoria are considered. By the way, “Anastasia” is already for a long time remains at the peak of popularity.

If you look into history, you will see that the name always pointed to social status girls. For example, the name Maria in the 18th century and the first half of the 19th was exclusively a noble name. At the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries, people began to become interested in this name, to name their daughters with it, it spread throughout the country at the expense of the peasantry. Or, for example, the name Tatyana was for a long time for children from a low class, but it was Alexander Pushkin (deliberately, by the way) who used it in Eugene Onegin, calling Tatyana not a simpleton, but a girl of a delicate nature. After this, the noblewomen also became Tatyanas, and the name grew. There is only one name that has always been popular, it was used to call girls from any class, and according to UNESCO in 1984-1985, it was, in principle, the most popular in the world - this is the name Anna, which has many variations. Nyura will be called a peasant woman, and Anna will be the daughter of a king.

In Russia before the revolution, names were often given by the church. After the revolution, the church was officially removed from this action, and folk creativity spilled out from the limits of reason onto children.

• Old non-church names have returned. Zlata, Lada, Svetlana, Rogneda.
• New ideological names have appeared. Idea, Barricade, Novella, Poem, Idyll, Turbine, Railcar, Industry, Energy, Electrification.
• Unique (according to 1942). Artillery Academy, Great Worker (yes, that's a girl's name), Cherry Blossom in May, Glavsp, Raithia. The most unique ones are Oyushminalda, Lagshmivara, Dazdraperma.

The girls defended their rights in everything and always. This also applies to the name - in some countries girls were not given a name at all, but instead the name of the most famous family member - the man - was used. Or in ancient Rome, girls were named after their father. Gaius Julius Caesar's daughters were to be called Julia. If there are several girls, they are numbered. Julia Prima, Julia Secunda, Julia Tertia and so on. Sounds very offensive, doesn't it?

Either way, now you can call a girl the most unusual name. Here is a sample list of what beautiful names for girls used this year by various Russian families:

• Bella,
• Dominica,

At the same time, the most popular name in 2016 (however, this name has long and firmly held the first line) is Sophia (Sofia). Not everyone wants to invent unusual name for a girl - although, perhaps, once upon a time this name was unique. According to the name book, Sophia is a soft, gentle girl in childhood. When a girl begins to grow up, she becomes diligent and pedantic. Sophia is a purposeful girl, but she does not go ahead, but carefully achieves her goal without causing inconvenience to anyone.

The second most popular name is Maria. Masha (even the name itself sounds soft) is a kind, quiet, vulnerable girl. At the same time, in adulthood, the character begins to be strong and firm. Maria - good wife, family is very important to her. The third most popular line is held by the name Daria. Dasha is impulsive and economical (an explosive mixture). Girls with this name are sociable and artistic. Dashas are usually happy in a stable marriage.

Life stories

Looking at some of the names, you can’t help but think: what were the parents motivated by? Some mothers of girls with unusually beautiful names talked about how they chose names for their children.

Mom Lesya, daughter Vasilina:

I have it myself rare name, so I knew the advantages for myself: they always remember you the first time, they immediately separate you from the team (both children and adults). Therefore, when we realized that we would have a daughter, I immediately knew that I would choose a rare name. I liked many rare names, but I needed to find a combination with a rather characteristic patronymic - Egorovna. I directly studied directories of rare names, writing down the options I liked on a piece of paper. But my husband and grandmothers rejected almost everything.

Then I took out a directory of rare Ukrainian names, since we have Ukrainian roots on both sides, it was logical.

There, almost immediately, my gaze fell on the name Vasilina, this is the Ukrainian version of Vasilisa. All my relatives liked this name right away. Especially after my pregnant brain was already determined to accept Ustinha.

There is, however, one nuance: the daughter is often confused and written down as Vasilisa. At home we call her full name, affectionately Cornflower. I categorically don’t like the abbreviation Vasya, but my daughter, on the contrary, doesn’t like it best friends name.

Mom Tatyana, daughter Mia:

I heard the name Mia during a trip to Germany. A friend once mentioned that Germans often call their daughters this way. I myself didn’t have a child yet, even in plans, but the name was remembered, although I didn’t tell anyone about it. When the ultrasound showed that we were having a girl, and my husband and I began to discuss the name of the unborn child, I rather timidly asked: “What do you think of the name Mia?” My husband really liked it, so all attempts to make a version more “adapted” to Russian pronunciation - Miya, or to name his daughter Polina or Emma - failed. Which I don’t regret, by the way, the name turned out to be suitable for a wayward, very active and lively girl. In the description of the name, everything is written like that, but I didn’t read it until my daughter was almost two years old - for some reason it was uninteresting.

Problems arose immediately: at the maternity hospital, when I was registering my daughter, they asked me for the written consent of the child’s father to use that name. In our city, our Mia became the first, so the registry office had doubts whether dad was against it. In the clinic and other official institutions, I immediately dictate the name by letters M-I-A. In response, I usually hear one of two options: “What a beautiful name” or “They’ll name it.” Another interesting remark was from some grandmother during a walk: “Oh, what a name. Probably dad is Chinese. I’m telling you exactly, Chinese.” And my husband, actually, Pavel, is quite Russian.

Mom Maria, daughter Evdokia:

My daughter chose her name herself. I knew this name (my great-grandmother was Evdokia), and was completely indifferent to it. And when the pregnant woman chose a name, I couldn’t get the name out of my head. I was reading a book with names, and it was there. Until I came across the name Evdokia, nothing was suitable. And my husband couldn’t find it either. When I suggested Dunya, he was so confused, and I saw that there was no protest. And inside I was confident that another name would not work.

An unusual name can be not only rare, beautiful, unusual, but also something that can be called “well forgotten old”. Yuli, Olya, Sveta, Ira, Gali - in the generation of the 80s and 90s these names were all over the place, but now they are practically non-existent. So if you don’t have the imagination for something artsy, then you can just look at your friends. Or take the simple path and do what many do: open a dictionary and poke at random.

Many names that we consider native, in fact appeared in Russian culture from the ancient Christian world and most do not have Slavic roots. The origin of female Russian names is inextricably linked with the history and beliefs, rituals and life of the ancient Slavs. These names include: Dobroslava - sensible; Fun - mischievous, cheerful; Mstislava - demanding; Snezhana is modest and gentle.

The most popular modern names for girls

According to statistics from the Moscow Civil Registry Office, the most popular names for girls in 2016 were Sofia, Maria, Anna, Victoria, Anastasia, Polina, Alisa, Elizaveta, Alexandra, Daria. So if you're looking for beautiful yet rare names for girls, look no further than this list of 10 girl names.

Names with meaning

It is worth paying attention to the meaning of a woman's name. We are accustomed to believing that whatever you name the ship, that’s how it will sail. For example, if you want your girl to be a winner in life, you can name her Victoria. But remember that this name is very popular now!

Here are some examples of the meanings of female names.

Anfisa translated from ancient Greek means “blooming”. In childhood, she is calm, and as she matures she becomes determined and stubborn. Never commits rash acts, knows how to find mutual language with people.

Valeria translated from Latin means “strong, strong.” She is sensual and unpredictable, with a well-developed imagination and excellent imaginative memory. Having matured, Valeria will become a caring, thrifty and hospitable wife. Carefully chooses professional field, in which he will become a real specialist.

Dominica means "lady" in Latin. Girls with this name have intuition and a masculine manner of leading and ruling. Dominika is confident in herself and is able to complete the most overwhelming and difficult task. Most inclined to a leadership position, even if it involves risk. Achieves success in painting, architecture, design and clothing modeling.

Rare names for girls

Statistics say that many parents tend to choose a name for their child that is not particularly popular now. If you hold the same views, then keep in mind that quite recently little Aurora, Lyubava, Leya, Ustinya, Emily, Bozena, Nicoletta, Alexandria, Indira, Vesna, Malvina, Blanca, Cleopatra were born.

Almost 20% of parents do not have time to decide on the name of their unborn child by the time of his birth, but there are also those who cannot come to an agreement even a month after the birth of the baby. Distracted by many everyday problems, it is sometimes very difficult for a husband and wife to come to an agreement, because everyone has their own preferences and their own vision on this issue. And here, relatives, friends, and just acquaintances begin to offer their options. Fashion dictates, television promotes, how can you choose?

It is clear that every parent wishes their child a happy life. Believing that the name of a newborn can determine his future destiny and contribute to success in his personal life and career, parents often see his future in the baby’s name - and sometimes they choose a rare rather than a common name for their baby. Why?

• They believe that it will help the child develop certain qualities - for example, independence.
• They strive to distinguish their child from other children in advance.
• Follow family traditions, where the names of grandparents are passed down from generation to generation.

Based on these premises, it is possible to determine where rare names come from.

• The most obvious is the “well forgotten old”. Names that were used to call children many years, and sometimes centuries, ago appear in everyday life. In Russia they sound again Old Slavonic names- Bogdan, Miroslava, Tayana.
• There are very creative and progressive parents who come up with names themselves. This is how the name Svetlana appeared, although it was invented for the character, and not for her own child. And the name Stella was invented for a cycle of sonnets.
• Sometimes adults try to remember events that are important to them. This is how completely unusual names are also born, many of which later become unviable, but some of these names continue to exist - for example, Kazbek, Damir or Kim. This desire to record various historical events, places to remember and immortalize some great personalities. To a greater extent, the Soviet names that have appeared reflect this trend, and they can be called rare (Radiy, Zarya, Vladlen, Astra).
• You can also consider rare names to be those foreign, borrowed names that are not accepted in use in a particular country. At the same time, most Christian names are duplicated in one way or another both in Catholicism and Orthodoxy (Martha - Martha, Christiana - Christina). Here are some foreign names still can be called rare - Emma, ​​Madeleine, Monica, Laura.

Rare names for girls

When giving a daughter a rare name, parents strive first of all to highlight and emphasize some specific features of the newborn, which, as the parents are sure, their daughter will definitely have. Most often these are beautiful, sonorous, melodious names. Different nationalities have their own list of rare female names.

In Russia in Lately It became fashionable to give children Old Slavonic names. For example, the opportunity arose to personally meet Zabava or Bozhena, although such names are still considered rare. And believers will be pleased to find girls with such beautiful names as Seraphima, Pelageya or Evdokia.

In addition to the obvious goal of parents who choose a rare name for their child - to make him stand out from the rest, there is also a hidden one. Parents try in this way to teach children to be independent and independent from an early age. After all, starting from the first days of a baby’s life, those around him begin to ask, clarify, and be surprised by the name he heard, and the child cannot help but notice this. But not all children can bear this burden, and not all, even adults, owners of such rare names are ready to continue to bear it. Such a selection leaves an imprint on inner world person. It can influence his behavior, make him closed, touchy, or, conversely, arrogant and aggressive. Many people, upon reaching adulthood, change their name to a more common one.

Clara or Zoryana? Or maybe just Love? Rare and beautiful names for girls are presented in such abundance that it is difficult not to get confused. But which one is right for your baby, and what is the correct name for your daughter? About this - in our material.

Today, the influence of a woman’s name on her character, quality and life expectancy is studied quite widely. Moreover, the topic is considered by both official science, predictive practices, and magic. It's understandable that many parents want to know how it all works. After all, it is so important to write down on the birth certificate not only a beautiful name, but a happy destiny for your daughter.

The name is determined by the calendar, season, numbers and science

Thus, astrologers draw up special horoscopes for newborns, allowing them to determine good option naming. Numerologists select the “correct” names by calculating the number of the child’s date of birth. Healers ask nature what unusual name to name a girl: they recommend choosing options based on the time of year and month of birth.

There is also anthroponymy. This is a separate scientific area for studying the history of the emergence and evolution of the full name, the patterns of functioning of its components. In their works, anthroponymic scientists analyze various proper names, highlight the most successful combinations FULL NAME.

For believing Orthodox Christians, the most recommended option for naming a girl is according to the calendar. So, the name is given in honor of a saint whose day coincides with the baby’s birthday or falls on the eighth or fortieth day from birth.

How children were named in the old days

Our ancestors took a simpler approach to naming girls. And at the same time, the names of the beauties of that time could have been the most unusual. In Rus', they were selected so that the baby could be distinguished from other family members. For example, Pervusha was the first child. The name reflected her external characteristics: the girl Chernava grew up dark-skinned and had dark hair. And Nekrasa was not born too pretty.

Characteristics or behavior were taken as a basis: Crybaby, Smart girl. The baby was named taking into account the circumstances of her birth. For example, Istoma grew up in families where the mother suffered during childbirth. And Snezhana was born in the cold. It could also indicate the attitude of adults towards the girl: Zhdana, Nezhdana, Lyubava, Darena.

Anna, Maria and Sofia are the three most popular female naming options on the planet. Although sound in different countries they may not be the same because they have many synonyms. For example, Annette, Marie and Sophie live in France. And Hanna, Marichen and Zofa are in Germany.

Many modern female names They literally fascinate those around them and make their owner even more attractive. But finding a naming option that you think is interesting is only half the battle. To make a name “play”, you need to consider several points.

1. Nationality. Nowadays in Russia, children are often given “names” that are unusual for the local culture and traditions. They are borrowed from other countries, religions, mentalities. In some cases this is justified. But in combination with ordinary Slavic patronymics and surnames, it looks strange, to put it mildly. For example, the combination “Gayane Vasilievna Kozlova” is inferior to the combination “Gayane Gasparovna Oganesyan”. This name is suitable for an Armenian girl, but not quite for a newborn Slavic girl. It is also worth considering that in interethnic marriages girls are born whose external features differ from typical Slavic features. Therefore, for mixed-race children, it is also necessary to carefully select the naming option. In Russia, the dark-skinned Masha, whose father is Arab, will always receive increased attention. But Regina or Sabira in this case will be neutral and suitable options.
2. Surname . Not all families can boast of a rich and strong surname. In such cases, the girl should not choose a name that is too unusual. Judge for yourself: the combination “Malvina Vyrvihvost” will become a double reason for ridicule from peers. Option “Natalia Vyrvikhvost” in in this case looks neater. Of course, one can hope that Michelle Goose or Chernava Tuchka will grow up, get married and take the surnames of their other halves. But what if they decide differently? Nowadays, many people believe that changing your name negatively affects your destiny. So, women are afraid to make changes to documents. But even there is a girl who is not superstitious... What if she falls in love with a guy with the last name Flea, Devil, Grave, Slyunin or Pindyur?
3. Surname . In addition to the national factor, the principle of consonance must also be taken into account. For bulky, long middle names it is worth choosing short names. Otherwise, those around you will break their tongues when addressing the girl. For example, the combination “Sada Ramzullovna” wins over the combination “Vuzhdeniya Ramzullovna”. The same principle applies when comparing the combinations “Vladislava Veniaminovna” and “Nina Veniaminovna”. By the way, a tandem is good, where consonance is read in the name and patronymic. And also win options where the “names” of the daughter and father begin with the same letter: “Angelina Andreevna”, “Irina Igorevna”, “Nora Nikolaevna”.
4. Forms. What will you lovingly call your daughter? Zoechka, Mashunya, Katrusya, Lelya, Lyubasya... Any feminine address takes official and diminutive forms. But many of them can also be transformed into nicknames. Here you need to understand that children, especially schoolchildren, are cruel. They love to tease each other. So, Anfisa can turn into a Rat, Yulia - into Dulya, and Rose - into Dung.
5. Fashion. Especially young parents want to be in trend and find a fashionable name for their baby. There are even extreme excesses like the Keyboard, Sarah-Paprika, Simka or Viagra. But in pursuit of originality, think about your daughter’s future. Do you have a neighbor's old lady Dazdraperma? Hardly. Because, having matured, girls, fashionably named after the Soviet May Day, were in a hurry to change this rare name. There are also only a few grandmothers of the Olympics. Yes, and few people know old women with the name Trolebuzin, named according to the principle “Trotsky-Lenin-Bukharin-Zinoviev”.

Psychologists recommend avoiding options with unexpressed gender when naming girls. “Genderless” names Evgenia, Valeria, Alexandra, Alexia can “steal” your baby’s tenderness and girlish charm, hinder her development and female self-identification. Also, you should not name your child after relatives who lived a difficult life and died in agony. And by giving a girl her mother’s name, you increase the risk of competition and misunderstanding in the family.

Thousands of parents every day puzzle over what interesting female names are now in fashion, how not to make a mistake and charge their beloved child with happiness for life.

Maybe, this material will help you choose a destiny for your daughter.

We are for modern fashion!

If you constantly follow trends and don’t miss a single important event, then we recommend that you watch beautiful ones. You won’t have to break your tongue over pronunciation, and, of course, any traditional Russian variant goes perfectly with a simple Russian patronymic.

A popular magazine recently conducted a survey. 45 thousand men answered the question about which female name is the most pleasant for them. The top three included Katenka, Victoria and Nastenka. They are followed by Ksyusha, Tanechka and Natasha. Of course, these names always remain in trend and are considered classics. At the same time, many parents prefer to give beautiful female names (modern), rare and mysterious, such as Carmina, Evangeline, Evelina, Ariadne, Camellia.

We are fans of the French genre

It is believed that French ladies have the most melodic names. If we remember famous actresses, they will always be associated with standards of beauty and elegance. It is not surprising that French female names are in fashion here too. In kindergartens you can increasingly see Adele, Camilla, and Violetta. Veronica (with the emphasis on the last syllable) is similar to our Vika - both names mean victory, but have different origins. Irene (by analogy with Ira) is a peaceful and kind soul; Claire - bright style; Sylvia is a forest nymph, Emma is mysterious.

Almost all popular French female names have a complex etymology and were borrowed from other countries. Over time, their pronunciation changed. For example, Jeannette comes from Hebrew and Barbara comes from Ancient Roman. Here are a few more interesting options: Vivien (alive), Giselle (arrow), Josephine (kind), Monica (affectionate), Mary (beloved), Margot (precious), Emmanuel (given by God).

We are the German favorites

German female names always make an impression. Despite the fact that the language of the German people itself is rough, and not everyone likes it, their names are charming. Girls given a German name will certainly enjoy success and the attention of others.

For example, Mirabells are very sensitive and vulnerable people. They make wonderful housewives and faithful wives. But Isolde is the name for strong personality who will surely achieve success in her career. Isolde's name translates to "cold gold" and as such she can be dangerous, but only with those who do not value her.

Other popular German female names are: Alma (gracious), Gertrude (warrior, heroine), Hanrietta (noble girl), Iolanta (violet), Frederica (powerful), Emily (rival), Frieda (faithful), Hannah (gifted). In Russia you can often meet Inga, Maryana, Nellie. These names are firmly rooted among us, although they are of Germanic origin.

We are looking east

Eastern women are always a mystery. Arabic female names are associated with the melody of oriental dance, the secrets of the sands and the charm of their owners. The mixing of cultures leads to the fact that in our country Russian girls are increasingly called traditional Muslim names. And at the same time they grow up happy and loved. Let's look at what Arab women's

Girls Guli, Naili, Kamila are often found. They are beautiful like flowers, respected and merciful. Malika, Jamilya, Laysan sound with rich chords... By naming a child the name Aisha, parents expect that their daughter will grow up smart and obedient, meek and courteous. By the way, this is the name that plays for Muslims great value. This was the name of the wife of the great prophet Muhammad.

It is not recommended to name girls Fatima. The fact is that all babies are called this before they receive their birth certificate. Most residents Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Jordan and other countries give girls the following names: Jana, Layan, Zafira, Razan, Shahd.

We are for the long forgotten old

Interesting female names of original Russian origin are now surprisingly rare. Why aren't Elena, Vera, and Natalia so sweet? You will be surprised, but it is very difficult to meet modern newborns with such names. But Sofia and Daria meet in almost every ward of maternity hospitals.

Old female names are even less commonly used. Some 100-200 years ago they were heard everywhere among the common people, but now they have lost their former glory. Perhaps someone will like one of these options: Agapia, Agnia, Adeline, Antonia, Vasilisa, Evdokia, Emelyan, Zoya, Zlata, Matryona, Milena, Pelageya, Praskovya, Serafima, Taisya, Raisa, Fevronya, Thekla, Theodora.

Must have the root “mila” or “glory”. For example, Yaroslav, Miloslav, Boguslav, Bogumil, Svyatoslav. This tradition has been preserved since the times Kievan Rus, because then the name had to have meaning. And more and more familiar to us - Varvara, Sophia, Maria, Yulia, Anna came to our country from Ancient Greece and Rome.
