Georgian names for girls modern list. Male Georgian names and meanings - choosing the best name for a boy

Georgians in national clothes

In 1996, Avtandil Sigaladze and Anzor Totadze’s book “Personal and family names in Georgia". It presents data on the degree of distribution of personal names in the regions of Georgia. The appendix lists the 300 most common names. They are given in Georgian writing. I turned to the Georgian Embassy in Kazakhstan with a request to help me write down these names in Russian. I had an appointment. I arrived at the embassy mansion and, under the dictation of the cultural attaché, wrote down all these 300 names in Russian script. I will give these names:

It is easy to see that the above list, most likely compiled on the basis of address bureau data, ignores the linguistic connections between individual forms of names. As a result, names such as, for example, are presented as different Nina And Nino, Elene, Elena And Lena, Kakhaberi And Kakha, Irina, Irine And Ira etc. In other words, phonetic and spelling variations of the same names, full and abbreviated forms are given separately. That is, there are actually fewer different names in this list than the given forms.

The presentation of the material itself departs from the tradition accepted in scientific anthroponymy of presenting male and female names separate lists (in the books, male and female names are given in one list - hence the difference in their number). But if you combine different shapes and I didn’t include the name options, then male names I separated them from women’s ones and give them separately for greater user convenience.

In this case, a number of names had to be separated into a separate subgroup. Among Georgians, they are used both as male and female. Perhaps this third group of names can be supplemented from the remaining two groups of names. In total, the list contains 131 male names, 162 female names and 7 that are both male and female. As noted in the book, the list does not include residents of Abkhazia and South Ossetia (obviously, data for these two regions was not available to the author).

Of course, the given names do not exhaust the entire wealth of the system of personal names of the indigenous population of Georgia. But it allows you to see the main stages of the formation of a national name. The names from the list can be combined into several historical and cultural layers, the penetration of each of which to the Georgians is associated with historical stages people, country.

The most ancient layer - names associated with the living languages ​​of Georgia, formed from understandable the masses common nouns. For example: men's Bichiko'boy', Mgelika'wolf cub', Dzaglika‘puppy, doggy’, Chichiko‘little man’, female Gogol'young woman', Mzekala‘sun-maiden’, Cira‘red maiden’.

Some names of original origin arose in relatively late time. For example, male Vaja‘courageous, man’ appeared as part of a pseudonym ( Vazha Pshelava) famous Georgian poet Luka Razikashvili (1861–1915). The grandfather of this poet was the first bearer of the name Imedi‘hope’, which has become popular among Georgians.

Some of the original names have been preserved for centuries and are still popular today (for example, male Badri, Mindia, women's Dali, Tsiala). The names of this group appeared in separate ethnographic groups Georgians (Khevsurs, Pshavs, Imeretians, Gurians, Mingrelians, Svans, etc.). Over time, some of them became nationwide.

Throughout its history, the indigenous peoples of Georgia have closely communicated with the peoples of neighboring regions and states - North Caucasus, Armenia, Iran, Byzantium, the Arab Caliphate, Azerbaijan, Turkey, Russia, etc. And all these contacts left an anthroponymic “trace” in the names of Georgians.

Significant contributions to the system of personal names of Georgians were made by Iran and the Arab Caliphate. The names were borrowed with the penetration of Perso-Arabic literature. Yes, men's Rostom, Bezhan, Givi– Georgian forms of Iranian names Rustam, Bijan, Giv, which were worn by the heroes of the Iranian epic “Shah-name”. The part of the epic in which these heroes act became especially popular among Georgians. Other names of this cultural-historical layer include men's Vakhtang, Zurabi, Muradi, Ramazi, women's Leila, Rusudani, Turpa. At the same time the name Vakhtang, known since the 5th century, is unfamiliar to the Iranians themselves.

Many Georgian names appeared in connection with the spread of Christianity (Georgians adopted Christianity already in the 5th century). These names are biblical (mostly Hebrew), Greek and Latin in their linguistic origin. Here are some of them: Giorgi, Grigoli, David, Ioane(from John), Isak, Mose(from Moses). The names of this group penetrated especially actively among Georgians after the annexation of Georgia to Russia (1801 - East Georgian Kingdom, 1804 - Imreti, Megrelia, Guria, 1810 - Abkhazia, 1858 - Svaneti).

After reunification with Russia, the Georgian Church lost its autocephaly (independence) for a century. Georgian Church became part of the Russian Orthodox Church on the basis of the exarchate. However, soon there was either nothing left of autonomous rights, or only one form remained. Since 1817, bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs in Georgia; Church property of Georgia was also transferred to the disposal of the Russian authorities (on March 12, 1917, after the overthrow of tsarism in Russia, the Georgians themselves decided to restore the autocephaly of their church). Joining the Russian Orthodox Church contributed to the fact that Georgians actively named their children with names from the Orthodox calendar. However, anthroponymic contacts between Georgia and Russia through churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its month the days of memory of a number of Georgian saints:

Men's: Abo, Aviv, Anthony, Archil, Bidzin, Gabriel, Gobron, Gregory, David, Eustathius, Euthymius, Zeno, Hilarion, Isaac, Ise, Isidore, John, Constantine, Luarsab, Michael, Neophyte, Pyrrhus, Razhden, Stefan, Dry, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar, Thaddeus
Women's: Ketevan, Nina, Tamara, Shushanika

Among those listed there are names completely unknown to Russian Orthodox before their inclusion in the month book ( Abo, Archil, Bidzin, Gobron, Laursab, Pyrrhus, Razhden, Sukhiy, Tarichan, Shalva, Shio, Elizbar; Ketevan, Tamara). Some correlated with names already present in the calendar: Ise And Jesse, Shushanika And Susanna. From this group of Georgian names (I do not take into account the names of Georgian saints that coincide with the names of Russian Orthodox saints - Anthony, David, Mikhail etc.) in the Russian environment only women’s Nina And Tamara. The popularity of these names in Russian families was facilitated by the works of M. Yu. Lermontov. True name Nina was known to Russians even without Georgians, but as an unofficial form of a number of official Orthodox names - Antonina, Domnina, Ansastasia. In the poem by A. S. Pushkin “ Winter road» lyrical hero, plunging into daydreams, reflects:

Boring, sad...
Tomorrow, Nina,
Tomorrow, returning to my dear,
I'll forget myself by the fireplace...

Who is Nina, whose name is mentioned by the lyrical hero, remains unknown.

By tradition, the days of remembrance of the listed Georgian saints are still included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.

Names were also borrowed Slavic origin, in particular, Vladimir. It is used by Georgians not only in full form, but in abbreviated form – Lado.

WITH late XIX and especially in the 20th century among Georgians, mainly through literature and cinema, names from Western Europe: Albert, Maurice, Carlo, Edward, Diana, Inga, Irma and others. Georgians did not remain aloof from the names of Sovietism (for example, Dictatorship, Communists).

Ending -O in a number of Georgian names (especially male ones - Andro, Dato, Lado etc.) represents a form of the vocative case developed in the Georgian language.

In Russian texts, the names of Georgians are often given in an adapted form - not Giorgi, A Georgiy, Not Akaki, A Akakiy, Not Iuri, A Yuri, Not Vasily, A Basil etc. In general, the transfer of Georgian names using Russian written means creates certain difficulties. Thus, it is difficult to convey Georgian names containing the letters ა, ე. For example, in female names ან ა and თ ე ა at the end there is a letter corresponding to the Russian “a”. But should it be conveyed in Russian through “a” in both cases? If yes, then in this case it will be Ana And Thea. But in the Russian name book the spelling is more common Thea.

Similar questions arise when transferring names containing ე. In Russian it corresponds to both “e” and “e”. That is, is it necessary to convey the name of a Georgian woman in Russian as Ekaterine, Ekaterine, Ekaterine or stick to the adapted spelling Catherine?

Another question is whether to double consonants in Georgian names like Ana, Natela, Neli, which correspond to Russian names Anna, Natella, Nelly? There are no double consonants in Georgian orthography. If we take transliteration (letter-by-letter transmission of names) as the basic principle, then, of course, such a question will not arise - doubling consonants is inappropriate. But what about practical transcription?

I believe that in Georgia itself, the issues of written transmission of personal names and surnames into other languages ​​(including Russian) are the subject of research. At least in Soviet time for each of the written languages, transmission principles were developed geographical names on geographical maps. They could be taken as a basis for the written transmission of personal names and surnames.

Some work is also being done towards establishing the etymology of Georgian personal names. I can recommend the following publication:

Georgian names. Georgian male and female names and their meanings

Attention!

Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters are using our name, our email addresses for your newsletters, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services.

The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be honest decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase.

People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud.

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 have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness.

Therefore, please be careful!

A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?

Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what male names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each boy is individual.

Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, preventing the child from developing. Astrology and numerology for choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate over the centuries.

Christmastide calendars of holy people, without the consultation of a seeing, insightful specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.

And lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.

Beautiful and modern Georgian names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.

Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features name, negative traits name, choice of profession by name, the influence of a name on business, the influence of a name on health, the psychology of a name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, life goals and the type of a particular child.

The topic of name compatibility (and not people’s characters) is an absurdity that turns interactions inside out different people internal mechanisms of influence of a name on the state of its bearer. And it cancels the entire psyche, unconscious, energy and behavior of people. Reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.

The meaning of the name has no literal impact. For example, Vazha (courageous, knight) this does not mean that the young man will be strong, and bearers of other names will be weak. The name can weaken his health, block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another boy will be helped to solve problems of love or power, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.

The most popular Georgian names for boys in 2015 are also a misconception. Despite the fact that 95% of boys are called names that do not make their fate easier. You can only focus on a specific child, the deep vision and wisdom of a specialist.

The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, sound wave, vibration is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.

Switch to the value of life

The right approach the choice of a person’s name is significantly influenced by character, fate, future life in general outline. Actively promotes development, forms positive traits character and behavior, strengthens health, unconsciously eliminates negative features of appearance.

Georgian names are the main component in the culture of the people. There are many interpretations of what names mean, but in reality, the influence of a particular name is individual for each person. Astrology and numerology have noted that the name has a serious influence on fate since ancient times. Therefore, parents take choosing a nickname for their heir or heiress very seriously.

Georgian male names and their meanings

The most frequently used options, meaning the highest grace, are chosen by almost all parents. The people greatly value the Orthodox and cultural values by giving the call of his predecessor, fixing his gaze on the names with the meaning in the interpretation of “God”.

According to tradition, the days of remembrance of the listed Georgian saints are still included in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church.

• Janiko is a God in love, with a flaming heart.
• Berdo is a gift from God, given by God.
• Elijah - the fortress of the Lord
• Heraclius - hero, glory of Hera
• Ivane - God's mercy
• Avtandil - the heart of the homeland

Georgian popular names for boys

Original and fashionable folk nicknames, first of all, should be very suitable for the child, and not correspond to the existing external appearance data, which is not related to future life young men. There are several options that mothers of children love:

• Tornike – winner, God
• Lado - owner of the world
• Zaza is an old man, an elder (respected in the country).
• Beso - son of his beloved wife
• Giga - endearment form The name George comes from the divine Giga.

The meaning of a name may not have full influence. Using the example of the call Vazha, let’s look at (meaning masculinity, chivalry) - this does not mean at all that the owner of the name will become strong, and other bearers of different names will weaken.

Worth remembering! All people are different, therefore the influence of a particular name on each person is individual. It will help one, but on the contrary it will oppress the other.

The most common mistakes when choosing a name for a child:

1. Melody and beauty
2. Numerology
3. In honor of “that famous uncle”
4. According to the religious calendar in honor of saints
5. Combination with patronymic or surname
6. In honor of a relative (especially a deceased one)
7. By value

The emergence of names

All the advantages of the system of proper names for the experienced population of Georgia do not end with these species. But it allows us to see the main steps in the formation of a folk collection of names. The calls from the list can be combined into several historical and cultural layers, the insight of each of them towards the Georgians is combined with the past years of the people. The oldest ball is complaints relying on the living language of Georgia, formed from common nouns.

Many names appeared among Georgians in connection with the expansion of Christianity. These names are from God (mostly Hebrew and Greek origin). Let's look at some of them: Giorgi, Grigoli, David, Ioane (from John), Isaac, Moses (from Moses). Having united with the Russian Federation, the church lost for a hundred years independent activity in every way. The Georgian Church joined the Russian Orthodox Church at the beginning of the exarchate. Since 1817, bishops of Russian nationality were appointed exarchs in Georgia; Church property of Georgia was also transferred to the leadership Soviet authorities(in the spring of 1917, after the overthrow of tsarism in Russia, the Georgians decided to restore the Christian autocephaly of the church). Becoming a member of the Russian Orthodox Church contributed to the fact that Georgians actively named children with calls with the interpretation of “God” from the Orthodox calendar. However, anthroponomic contacts between Georgia and Russia through the churches were not one-sided. The Russian Orthodox Church included in its monthly calendar the days of memory of a number of Georgian saints.

Beautiful female names.

• Tata - Predisposition to the life of an ascetic
• Gela - Messenger of God, angel
• Nika - The girl is strong, like the people
• Nino - Russian nickname "Nina" - great-granddaughter, queen, God.

Modern parents, faced with the choice of criticism for girls (in the future girls), future men are now very famous for their popularity in the selection of tables in which all existing names are listed alphabetically. As statistics say, with this option it is very difficult to decide, not to mention the most current options mentioned above.

Conclusion

Names have many meanings and characteristics; they arose as a result of the combination of nouns and adjectives, forming one whole. After connecting with the Russian Federation, popularity began on Orthodox names for sons. And even after many years, this tradition does not disappear, but on the contrary, it is gaining more and more popularity among the Georgian population.
