"What's in a name?" the poet asked an unknown interlocutor. Over the same question, but in a broader sense, humanity has been struggling for centuries, but the names are in no hurry to reveal all their secrets. Even notorious materialists and skeptics do not choose the first names that come across for their children, thereby recognizing that the name becomes the hallmark of a person in society, a part of himself. Many people are sure that an individual name not only contains information about its owner, but is also able to participate in the formation of his character and influence his future life. In this regard, the famous phrase "As you call a yacht, so it will float" is often remembered. What can we say about a man - a living being and connected with the universe by thousands of threads!

Personal names are the object of study of anthroponymy - a branch of the science of onomastics. Within its framework, researchers study their origin, evolutionary development, laws and features of functioning. Each name, whether it is originally Slavic or borrowed from other languages, for example, Greek and Jewish, has its own history, its own meaning. The original meaning of many names was lost in the thickness of the centuries, erased, no longer taken literally. In addition, not all people are interested in the meaning of their name, thereby missing the opportunity to learn more about themselves and their life prospects. Meanwhile, the studies of modern anthroponyms are aimed at compiling a psychological portrait typical representative of one name or another, because even earlier it was discovered that the same named people have much in common in character, fate and even appearance.

Of course, one should not exaggerate the role of the name in shaping the personality, but nevertheless it deserves the closest attention. The choice of a name for a child should be conscious, thoughtful, taking into account various factors. In the life of an adult, a name change is also possible, so the information presented on our website is useful not only for those who are looking for a name for a newborn boy or girl. For people who are not going to change their second “I”, a closer acquaintance with the meaning of names can also bring a lot of benefits - in particular, suggest directions for working on themselves, on compatibility with others and fruitful interaction with them.

In this section of our site you can find not only the meanings of names, but also a variety of related information, for example, about name days, lucky days, useful practical tips, excursions into history and much more.

The name of the boy and the meaning of the chosen name is a topic that interests every new or future parent without exception, which is not surprising, because the process of choosing a name form is quite complicated and responsible, and the names have so many variations that the head is spinning ...

Each parent, whether mom or dad, must responsibly weigh the pros and cons of each variation of the name, because many important factors depend on the choice of name. One of them, for example, is the factor of character and the whole future. Each specific name given to a boy can affect the future of the child named by him, the characteristics of the character that is being formed in him, the personality as such - and everything in his life, in turn, depends on this, and the chances for career growth, and popularity in society, and sociability, and the ability to endure everyday difficulties, and even the chances of building a strong and truly happy family.

Boys born at the time of the patronage of January are inherently purposeful and hardworking, but conflicted and often because of this they are deprived of sociability. It is desirable to call such names promising sociability and gentleness, unscrupulousness and patience, poise.

The name of the February boy should endow with conflict-freeness, sociability, eloquence and the ability to compromise, because all this is not available for children born this month. Among the Orthodox names there are many such. Some of them are listed below...

In March, hardworking and shy people are born. Touchy and vulnerable, capricious and devoid of charisma. Such boys are difficult to endure, they need to complement the character with charm, eloquence, tenderness and moral stamina. The name of such a guy should not contain harsh sounds.

Patrons of April are usually selfish and stubborn by nature, often conflict with their peers and do not know how to take soundly other people's opinions and advice. Such are required to be called by names that promise gentleness and sanity, unscrupulousness and practicality, and good compatibility.

Those born in May are recommended to be called those variations that are able to bestow sociability and friendliness, good nature and gentleness. These are family men by nature, but devoid of emotions and imagination, fantasy and romance. Such a quality as purposefulness will not interfere.

And here there are shy, shy, suspicious and modest boys, and these will not have either a career or material success if they are not endowed with the necessary features: determination, self-sufficiency and self-confidence. All this can be endowed with names patronized by July.

The guys of August are kind and gentle, easily make contact and love to communicate, but are frivolous and unreliable, incapable of making their own responsible decisions. Such it is required to call options promising missing characteristics. The best ones are offered by us further…

Here you need to select a variation that promises ease of communication, readiness for adventure, fantasy and imagination, because usually those born in September are deprived of all of the above. But it is worth remembering that the options patronized this month are usually too influential and have the strongest energy.

October children in the future in most cases tend to be prudence, self-interest, composure and uncompromisingness. You need to name options that have a mitigating effect. Sensitivity, gentleness, justice, sincerity and optimism will not interfere.

The November representatives are dominated by material dependence and a thirst for power, with which it is desirable to fight from childhood in all possible ways, including the bestowal of a name that endows with such qualities as decisiveness, calmness, sincerity and integrity.

And here it doesn’t hurt to call all the boys by that name, the meaning of which will give the ability to control emotions and be guided solely by logic, for those born in December, in particular Pisces, are too prone to the opposite, they are unbalanced and emotional in origin soul and nature.

When a baby is born, the first thing parents think about is what to name it. It happens that the name of the child is given even during the pregnancy of the mother.

Country where the child lives. Also, here you can include the nationality of the child. So that there are no contradictions between the parents and the child normally joins the team, you need to take into account this feature and name the child in such a way that it only helps the child in later life.

The affectionate form of the name is also very important. Parents need to think about what they will name their baby. This form of the name is not meant to be funny or complicated.
