The purpose of my work, which I called “The Etymology of Personal Names,” is to explore the etymology of personal names and suggest ways to choose them .

study the history of the origin of personal names;

consider, using the example of the 20th - early 21st centuries, whether time affects names;

find out what influences the choice of name.

While working on the topic, I used the following methods:

survey;

studying archival documents, reference books, dictionaries;

conversations with ministers of the Holy Trinity Church, with employees of the passport and visa service and employees of the registry office, with bearers of interesting names.

Introduction.

A person is given a name once. It becomes a kind of identification document for a person, his personal name.

All personal names were once common nouns. In ancient times, the Russian people and other peoples had a custom: at the birth of a child, assign him the name various items, phenomena, signs. Hence such ancient Russian names as Dobrynya, Druzhina, Kalina.

Before the adoption of Christianity, Russians had names that called a person by his inner or external sign(Bolshoy, Ryaboy, Kosoy, Buyan, Mal, Zhdan, Molchan, Kudryash, Nelyub), reflected the order of appearance of new family members (First, Pervusha, Tretyak, Malyuta, Pozdneya). The names reflected social and economic status (Slave, Bobyl, Selyanin), place of origin (Nesvoy, Inozem, Nenash, Kazanets), church relations (Bogomaz, Sin, Bogomol).

Our ancestors also used allegorical names. In the chronicles of the 4th century the following names were preserved: Ram Filippov, Sheep Vladimirov, Spider Ivanov.

There were also names of another kind - princely ones, which arose on common Slavic or Russian soil: Yaroslav, Vsevolod, Vladimir, Budimir, etc.

Sometimes not real, but desired characteristics were taken as names: Svetozar (bright as the dawn), Vladimir (who owns the world), Vsemila (dear to everyone)

Few beautiful female names have survived: Golub, Nesmeyana, Zabava, Lebed, Lyubava, Zhdana. Annoyance, Borislav, Svyatoslav.

The meanings of some names were forgotten. A common noun turned into its own.

Every person living on earth has a name. It is a companion of man from the first to last days life.

Probably everyone has asked themselves at least once: “Why did they call me that?” At the same time, some are happy about their name, others would like to change it.

Growing up, I hear more and more often that a name is not just a set of familiar and familiar sounds, but it is something like a code with which you can decipher fate, find out whether the name given by your parents corresponds to our star sign.

It turns out that there are people who study psychology, philology and astrology of the name.

Of course, I still can’t figure it all out, but it was interesting to find out when the names appeared, how they arose, and why they disappeared forever or temporarily.

History of the origin of names.

The ways in which names were formed among ancient peoples were very diverse. Some, in order to appease the spirits of nature and enlist their support, gave their children names like Tamara /date palm/, Leah /antelope/, Rachel /sheep/ and others. In some tribes, in order to get a name, you had to attack a foreigner and, before killing him, ask him what his name was. Still others, when giving names to their children, invested their own best hopes and wishes. Many ancient names have reached us, but we have long forgotten their meaning. I found out that European peoples in ancient times, a popular name was translated as Wolf: Vuk /Serbia/, Vilko /Bulgaria/, Rudolf - Red Wolf /Germany/ and simply Wolf. In Uspensky I found evidence that the Russians also had the name Volk (hence the surname Volkovs).

But after the baptism of Rus', people began to seek protection not from the forces of earth, but from the forces of heaven. All children began to receive names during the sacrament of baptism - christian names. The roots of these names can be found in Hebrew, Greek, Latin languages. A person who received the name of some saint found himself in heaven with a powerful “namesake” who was supposed to protect and help.

For some time, people in Rus' could have two names - secular and Christian. So it was with Princess Olga, in holy baptism - Elena. Varangian Olga - light, Greek Elena - light.

Olga's grandson Vladimir, who baptized Rus', received the name Vasily - Tsar's - at baptism.

Names at the beginning of the 20th century.

Name and time! I wonder what happened to the name in the 20th century, what is happening now - in the 21st century?

I started by visiting the archives of the Gulkevich registry office. The records convinced me that at the beginning of the 20th century names were given according to the calendar. So, at the end of August and beginning of September, all the girls turned out to be Natalia (St. Natalia's Day is September 26), and in July, after 24, they turned out to be Olga. Near some names in the registry book there is a note: “It was named in honor of a saint...” or a saint.

The entry for December 1910 is as follows: “December. Born 11, baptized 22. Peter. In honor of the martyr Peter, celebrated by the church on December 28.”

Having written down the names given to children in 1910-1912, I saw that the most popular were: John /not Ivan/ - 19 people, Nikolai /in honor of Nicholas the Winter and Summer/ - 14 people, Alexander - 12 people.

Among female names, the most popular were Anna - 21 people, Maria - 17 people, Claudia - 21 people. It is interesting that now, according to the registry office workers, this name is almost never given.

Only once in two years did the name Maxim, so common now, appear; Arkady, Vitaly, and Yuri each came up once. It was surprising that only once the boy was given the name Sergei.

Rare female names turned out to be Raisa - 1 time, Taisiya - 1 time, Pavel - 1 time, Evgenia - 1 time.

There were names I had never heard of:

So, at the beginning of the century, names were often given based on the Church Saints.

Names in the Soviet period.

After October 1917, people began to change their surnames to euphonious ones, “old regime” ones to “modern ones”. The new name creation was no less striking. Instead of christenings, they came up with the civil rite of October, according to which the child was given a name in a solemn atmosphere, usually corresponding to the new ideology. From 1924 to 1930, such names were printed in calendars as opposed to the calendar.

I found the following expression in L. Uspensky: “Revolutionary calendars” and a mention of names born of revolution, industrialization: Marchen, Energy, Zheldora, etc.

A number of names echo the names and surnames of the leaders of the revolution: Buden, Marxin, Marlena, Vilen, Vilor, etc.

I wonder if there were people with such names in the city of Gulkevichi? It turns out that they lived and live. My mother said that at school she was taught physics by Stalina Stefanovna Kasatikova. My great-grandmother had a classmate named Gertrude (her name came from two words - hero of labor); my pediatrician name is Irina Vladilenovna (her grandfather gave his son a name in honor of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin).

First Soviet years parents tried to give their children euphonious and beautiful names, often giving foreign names: Isolde, Arthur, Eliza, Robert, Edward, Evelina. The names of the ancient Greek and Roman gods were used: Venus, Diana. A lot of names were formed from revolutionary slogans: Noyabrina, Oktyabrina, Svoboda, Ninel (if you read from right to left, you get Lenin), Vilen (Vladimir Ilyich Lenin), Roblen (born to be a Leninist).

Among people who are now about 70 years old, there are many Pavlovs, and therefore among 40-60 year olds the middle names Pavlovna and Pavlovich are often found. Popova Valentina Pavlovna (worked at secondary school No. 1 before retiring) is sure that her father was named after Pavel Korchagin, the hero of the novel “How the Steel Was Tempered” by Ostrovsky.

Teacher primary classes my former school Tamilina Zoya Nikolaevna said that she was named after Zoya Kosmodemyanskaya. Zoya Nikolaevna tries to live in such a way that she is not ashamed of the memory of the one after whom she was named.

Many names have not survived to this day. Today no one will call their children names like Barricade or Disizara (child, boldly follow the revolution). But many names are still popular: Vladilen, Vladlena, Oktyabrina... Moreover, modern parents often do not know the origin of these names.

In the Gulkevich registry office, one of the oldest workers remembers that since 1961, one of the most popular male names was the name Yuri (in honor of the first Soviet cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin), and when Valentina Tereshkova flew into space, moms and dads remembered for a while forgotten name Valentina.

My neighbor Sheremetova L.I. said that she named her daughter Svetlana in honor of cosmonaut Svetlana Savitskaya. History teacher Irina Dmitrievna Popova got her name because her mother was interested in figure skating and dreamed of seeing my daughter look like Irina Rodnina.

We can conclude that in the 20th century, in its middle, the choice of name began to be influenced by time, its heroes, its values, its beacons.

Names at the end of the 20th century beginning of XXI century.

The 1980 Olympics gave the name Olympics to many girls born in the late 70s and early 80s of the 20th century.

At the end of the 20th century, the 1980 Olympics gave the name Olympics to many girls born in the late 70s and early 80s. Popular films at the end of the last century also influence the choice of name: after the series “The Rich Also Cry” - Marianne appeared, after the film “Angelique and the King” - Angelica.

Show business also makes its contribution to naming. Fans of Alla Pugacheva have Alla’s daughter, although in late XIX and at the beginning of the 20th century this name did not exist. Many Valerias are named after the singer Valeria. The song with the refrain “Vika, Vika, Victoria” is a possible reason for the appearance of Victoria in Gulkevichi.

Trying to find out how names are given today, I conducted a questionnaire among parents of 1st grade of MAOU Secondary School No. 3 (children born in 2013) and parents of students senior group kindergarten No. 13 (year of birth of the babies - 2008). 56 people took part in the survey.

According to the results of the questionnaire, the most popular names were Dasha and Nastya among girls, and Daniil and Artem among boys.

To the question: “What influenced the choice of name?” - the majority /48%/ answered: “I just liked the name”, 15% named their children in honor of their grandparents, 7% - in honor of their father /Artur Arturovich, Sergey Sergeevich/, 20% found out what the name means and liked the meaning:

Katerina is pure,

Larisa the seagull

Valery is healthy,

Maxim is the biggest

Daria is a gift.

5% could not explain the reason, simply adding a dash.

But among the respondents there were also 5% who chose the name according to the calendar.

Name and church.

I was interested in the question, can the church help in choosing a name and how often does this happen?

I met with the ministers of the Holy Trinity Church. They told me that in Lately the number of people coming to church when choosing a name has increased. They want to give the child the name of the saint on whose day he was born.

In addition, I learned that people turn to church different ages with a request to change their names from secular to church. It is possible to receive a name or change it during the sacrament of baptism.

From the words of Father Victor, I learned that the sacrament of baptism is a sacred act in which a believer in Christ, through threefold immersion of the body in water with the invocation of the name of the Holy Trinity - Father, Son and Holy Spirit - is washed from original sin, as well as from all the sins he himself committed before baptism, he is reborn by the grace of the Holy Spirit into a new spiritual life and becomes a member of the church, that is, the grace-filled Kingdom of Christ.

In our church, baptism is held every Saturday and Sunday. My grandmother Svetlana Viktorovna Matrosova told me that in the 50-80s of the 20th century they tried not to talk about the baptism of children: this could cause big troubles. Now baptism is a holiday. I attended one of them.

On this day, 5 people were baptized. The youngest, Vadim, was ten months old, the oldest, Inna, was 23 years old.

Two brothers also received the sacrament of baptism: Anton and Denis. This is their name in the world, and at baptism they received the names Anthony and Dionysius.

Visiting church on the day of the sacrament of baptism made a great impression on me.

Names and fashion.

The head of the Gulkevich registry office said: “More and more children are now called by their old names: Daniil, Roman, Fedot, Seraphim, Serafima, Ulyana, Evdokia. The names Adam, Eve, Zlata have become fashionable. In 2009, one family gave their son the name Angel.”

My aunt Svetlana Anatolyevna Shramko named her recently born son the now fashionable name Matvey. In general, there is a fashion for the name. Old names are in fashion now.

Fashion for the name... Is it good or bad? I don't think it's particularly good. After all, in the end, in one class there are, for example, 4 Artem and 4 Nastya (1 “A”). IN younger group kindergarten No. 13 - five boys are named Daniil. Not a single Dasha studied with my mother at school or at the university, and at the summer camp there were three of them in my squad. But a name like Galina, very popular in the 50-60s, is now forgotten, although it has so many options: Galya, Galochka, Galyusha, etc. Try to find so many options for the name Inga, Angelika, Marina. It seems to me that the variety of its variants is also an advantage of the name, because behind each there is a feeling, an assessment, our attitude. For example: Nikolai, Kolya, Nikolushka, Nikolenka, Kolka, Kolyan. You don’t even have to try to find something similar to the name Laurus or the name Matvey.

Conclusion

While working on the topic “Etymology of personal names,” I researched the history of the origin of personal names and found out that initially all names were common nouns and only after losing their semantic meaning did they become proper names. Having studied the formation of names during the 20th - early 21st centuries, I came to the conclusion that at the beginning of the 20th century, names were often given based on the Church Saints, and in the middle of the 20th century, the choice of name began to be influenced by time, its heroes, its values, its beacons. At the end of the 20th century, films that were popular at the time influenced the choice of name, and show business also made its contribution. A survey of parents whose children were born at the beginning of the 21st century showed that now the priority in choosing a name is the meaning of the name, its euphony, as well as the name of the saint on whose day the child is born, i.e. the Church Saints.

Traditions of choosing a name for a child

Origin of names in Rus'

Conclusion

Introduction

A person's name is the first thing that identifies and distinguishes him from other people.

Proper names were identified in ancient times. Even the Stoic philosopher Chrysippus (3rd century BC) attributed names to separate group words Today, anthroponymy (Greek anthropos - person, nimis - name) is studying the patterns of their origin and development, their structure, functioning in society, and distribution.

The origin of names is associated with various legends and guesses, but it is quite obvious that the totality of the names of each civilization, each people is closely connected with its historically, cultural and everyday traditions, beliefs and a certain era.

Nowadays many are interested different interpretations certain personal data, and the name comes first here. There are even specialists who can predict a person’s fate, character, and qualities by name. Therefore, many become interested in the history of the origin of names, their original form and subsequent transformation over time.

1. Traditions of choosing a name for a child

Since ancient times, people have attached great importance to the name. It has always been a significant part of a person’s personality and its content correlated with inner meaning carrier. Our ancestors believed that a name had some power over a person’s fate, so they treated its choice with extreme caution.

The first names were not invented on purpose. On initial stage development of society, when people realized that it was easier to survive by uniting in communities, the need arose for names in order to call out one person, and not the whole tribe. It was not always possible to come up and knock on the back asking for help, and at that time the vocal abilities were successfully developing. To designate people, they used any “available” names for phenomena in the surrounding world, for example, animals, plants, celestial bodies, bodies of water, seasons. Another source of the origin of the names of ancient people was character traits a person, the characteristics of his natural data, behavior, lifestyle. For example, Molchan, Razumnik, Ryaboy.

As mentioned earlier, even then people believed that a personal name had power over the fate of the owner. Therefore, they began to choose, and subsequently come up with names that meant something good, best qualities, helping to find good luck. For example, if the name of an animal was used as a name, then it should have been strong, dexterous, brave beast. Many ancient names consisted of several words and were similar to peculiar “spells”, wishes, and such a tradition existed among a variety of nationalities, for example, among the Semites, Slavs, and Sumerians.

In many cultures, newborns are given two names. The first was considered real and was known only in a narrow circle of the family, and the second was for general use, so that no one could harm the child, knowing him true name.

Indian tribes gave repulsive names to ward off evil spirits. The young man learned his real name only on the day he was recognized as an adult through meditation and communication with spirits and did not tell anyone else. The old shamans believed that this name was impossible to pronounce with normal human sounds, it existed only in a mixture of images and sound.

The ancient Greeks named their child in honor of gods and heroes, hoping for the favor of the Almighty. But calling children by similar names was considered tactless, since the inhabitants of Olympus might not like such familiarity. Therefore, various epithets with which the gods were usually addressed were transformed into names. For example, Victor (winner), Maxim (greatest). Zeus was addressed with such epithets.

Origin of names in Rus'

Nowadays, dozens of Russian personal names are not originally Russian in origin. Many names included in the Russian name book were brought by Christianity to Rus' from Byzantium. Therefore, they go back to Greek, Latin and other languages.

IN Slavic culture there was a tradition of a double naming ceremony. The first took place a few days after birth. Most often, this Slavic name was deliberately unattractive (Zloba, Nemil, Nekras, Kriv). The second was given to the child upon reaching twelve years of age. Slavic names abounded in their diversity. There were various groups names:

· Dibasic (Svyatoslav, Dobrozhir, Tihomir, Ratibor, Yaropolk, Gostomysl, Velimudr, Vsevolod, Bogdan, Dobrogneva, Lyubomila, Mirolyub, Svetozar, Miloneg, etc.) and their derivatives (Dobrynya, Tishilo, Rat (i) sha, Putyata, etc. .P.);

· Participle names (Zhdan, Nezhdan, Khoten);

· Names from animal and flora(Pike, Ruff, Hare, Wolf, Eagle, Nut, etc.);

· Names by birth order (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak);

· Names by human qualities(Brave)

It is easy to follow the process of creating a two-base name. The second part of the word is cut off and a suffix or ending is added (- neg, - lo, - ta, - tka, - sha, - yata, - nya, - ka) For example, Svyatoslav - Svyato + sha = Svyatosha.

Many two-part words have their own meaning. For example: Bazhen is a desired child, a desired child. Bogdan - God-given, gift of God, child given by God. Bogomil - gifted by God, dear to God. The name Bohumil has the same meaning. Velimudr - knowledgeable. Vsevolod is the ruler of the people, who owns everything. Dobromil is kind and sweet. Dobrozhir is kind and rich. Dobrogneva - strong in anger. Gostomysl - thinking about another (guest). Peaceful - peace-loving. Peresvet - fighting for the light. Rostislav - growing glory. Svetozar - illuminating with light. Svyatogor - indestructible holiness. Tihomir is quiet and peaceful. Tsvetana - like a flower. Yaropolk is an ardent (powerful) army, the leader of the solar army. Yaroslav - possessing ardent (powerful) glory, glorifying Yarila

Borrowing names from other cultures

As far as we know, the presence of contacts between cultures different nations is also reflected in the creation of names. The processes of borrowing and adaptation have been going on for centuries and have given such bizarre results that sometimes they can be understood only on the basis of deep scientific research- if it is possible to give a definite answer at all. The Slavic people can serve as an example of such influence. The most popular, beloved names turn out to be in the vast majority of cases “foreigners”, having Greek, Latin, Jewish, and Scandinavian roots. For example, the names Ivan and Maria came into our everyday life from the Hebrew language, becoming unique symbolic names of the Russian people.

Borrowed foreign names are a reflection of some historical periods, trends, events. For example, large groups of Greek and Jewish origin came to us along with Christianity, thereby pushing aside the original Slavic names. In the first centuries of Christianity (X-XIII centuries), Slavic names were used in everyday life in Rus', while baptismal names were used only in the church. However, from the 14th century, the main name became Christian, and people continued to have nicknames, no longer traditional, but usually associated with one or another human trait and defined in living language (Wolf, Stick, Big, etc.). From them, along with baptismal names (Ivanov, Petrov), Russian surnames (Volkov, Palkin, Bolshov, etc.) later began to be formed. Of the Slavic names, only those that were borne by canonized saints survived in use - thus these names began to be given in baptism (Vladimir, Vsevolod, Boris, etc.).

Also, many of the names that Russian people are accustomed to are borrowed from the Scandinavian language. All this is due to the fact that the Scandinavians were long-time northern neighbors of the Slavs. The Scandinavians fought with Russia, and served as warriors for the Russian princes, and traded with it, and went to trade through Rus' to other countries, which was reflected in famous expression"The path from the Varangians to the Greeks." Scandinavian origin proper names Askold (golden voice, wielding a spear), Gleb (pleasing to God, favorite of the gods), Oleg (sacred), Igor (warlike), Olga (sacred, great), Rurik (glorious king). Borrowing occurred through direct communication ( orally) Slavs with Scandinavian merchants and grand ducal warriors - Scandinavians who served with the Russian princes. The signs of borrowed Scandinavian words have been erased.

Names Soviet origin

The trend towards creating unconventional names has continued in Soviet time. Unusual names appeared after October revolution during the heyday of the fashion for neologisms and abbreviations in the Soviet Union. The breakdown of previous social foundations and traditions of naming, associated primarily with the obligation to choose a name for a newborn according to the calendar during the baptismal ceremony, provided parents with more freedom choosing names for your children. Various common nouns began to be used as personal names: names of plants (Birch, Oak), minerals (Ruby, Granite), chemical elements(Radium, Tungsten, Iridium, Helium), toponyms (Volga, Himalaya, Kazbek, Onega), technical and mathematical terms (Median, Diesel, Combine, Railcar), professions (Tank Driver), and other words colored by revolutionary ideology (Idea, Decembrist, Comrade, Volya, Zarya, Atheist, Freedom). Derivative forms were also formed (Noyabrina, Tractorina). This kind of name creation is sometimes called semantic anthroponymization. A large array of personal names-neologisms was formed from revolutionary slogans, the names of some bodies of the new government, as well as from the names and surnames of revolutionary leaders and communist figures (Vladlen, Damir, Kim, Roy).

Names of Soviet origin also include many borrowed names. It was after the October Revolution that there was a significant influx of foreign names into the Russian language. Some of them were directly associated with figures of the international communist movement (Rosa - in honor of Rosa Luxemburg, Ernst - in honor of Ernst Thälmann), some were associated with the heroes of "progressive" translations literary works or historical figures(Jeanne, Eric, Rudolf, Robert). Some were known among other nations, but received a new interpretation (Gertrude - hero of labor, Elina - electrification, industrialization, Elmira - electrification of the world, Zarema - for the revolution of the world, Renat - revolution, science, labor). A special place is occupied by the name Svetlana, which, although it was known earlier, gained popularity precisely in the 1920s.

In the post-revolutionary era, non-canonical (not noted in the church calendar) Old Russian and ancient Slavic names, as well as names existing in other Slavic languages ​​(Svetozar, Peresvet, Mstislav, Miloslava, Lyubomir, Wanda, Vladislav)

Most names of Soviet origin - especially newly formed ones - were rarely used and did not take root, remaining rather a historical and linguistic curiosity; Many bearers of exotic names, having reached adulthood, applied for a name change. However, some of these names, composed successfully - for example, Vladlen, Damir, have survived and become quite widely known.

Some interesting names and their meanings:

Avxo ?ma - from the reverse reading of the word Moscow

Arvi ?l - from the abbreviation of the phrase "Army of V.I. Lenin"

Bestreva - from the abbreviation of the phrase "Beria - Guardian of the Revolution"

Bolzhedor - Bolshevik Railway

Valterperzhenka (Vaterpezhekosma) - from the abbreviation of the phrase “Valentina Tereshkova - the first female cosmonaut”

Vydeznar (Hold the banner of the revolution higher)

Dazdranagon - from an abbreviation of the slogan "Long live the people of Honduras!"

Dazdrasmygda - from the abbreviation of the slogan “Long live the bond of city and countryside!”

Dazdraperma - from the abbreviation of the slogan “Long live the First of May!”

Kukutsapol - from an abbreviation of the slogan during the reign of N. S. Khrushchev “Corn is the queen of fields.”

Pofistal - from the abbreviation of the phrase “the winner of fascism/fascists Joseph Stalin.”

Uryurvkos (Urayukos) - from the abbreviation of the phrase “Hurray, Yura in space!”

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would like to note that most of the male and female names that we encounter every day are so familiar and familiar to us that we perceive them as Russian names, especially without thinking about their origin. In fact, the original Russians of them are modern society There are literally only a few left. Indeed, Russian names with Slavic roots turned out to be supplanted over time by the names of Greek, Roman, Jewish, Scandinavian origin. This process has been going on for centuries and today most of the names borrowed long ago from other nations are considered Russian, although in fact they have foreign roots.

It is practically impossible to determine the origin of the name and its roots intuitively, because in our perception the names are Ivan, Peter, Fedor, Stepan, Mikhail, Vasily, Anna, Anastasia, Maria, Ekaterina, Varvara, Polina, etc. must have Russian roots, but none of the above are Russian or Slavic in origin. They, like the vast majority of other modern male and female names, came to Russian culture from other nations, respectively, they all have foreign roots.
