A name determines a person's destiny. This is the key to his inner self. After all, it is not without reason that in Rus' a person had two names, one - false, for everyone, and the other - secret, only for the person himself and his very close people. This tradition existed as protection from unkind spirits and unkind people.
Often the first Slavic name was obviously unattractive (Kriv, Nekras, Malice), for even greater protection from the evil ones. After all, without the key to the essence of a person, it is much more difficult to cause evil. The rite of the second naming was performed in adolescence, when the main character traits were formed. The name was given based on these traits. Slavic names were replete with their diversity; there were groups of names:
1) Names from the animal and flora(Pike, Ruff, Hare, Wolf, Eagle, Nut, Borscht)
2) Names by birth order (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak)
3) Names of gods and goddesses (Lada, Yarilo)
4) Names by human qualities(Brave, Stoyan)
5) And the main group of names is two-basic (Svyatoslav, Dobrozhir, Tihomir, Ratibor, Yaropolk, Gostomysl, Velimudr, Vsevolod, Bogdan, Dobrogneva, Lyubomila, Mirolyub, Svetozar) and their derivatives (Svyatosha, Dobrynya, Tishilo, Ratisha, Putyata, Yarilka , Miloneg).
From the listed names, it is easy to trace the process of creating a derivative name: the second part is cut off from the two-base one and a suffix or ending is added (-neg, -lo, -ta, -tka, -sha, -yata, -nya, -ka).
Example: Svyatoslav: Svyato + sha = Svyatosha.
Of course, the names of people carry a significant part of the culture and traditions of the entire people. In Russia, with the advent of Christianity, Slavic names almost completely fell into oblivion. There were lists of Slavic names prohibited by the church. Why this happened is not difficult to guess. One part of the names (Lada, Yarilo) were names Slavic gods, the owners of the second part were people who, even after the Christianization of Rus', tried to restore the cult and traditions (magi, heroes). Today in Russia only 5% of children are given Slavic names, which certainly impoverishes the already meager Slavic culture.

We will be glad if you do this on our Slavic information portal “Veles”, which grew out of an online store of goods from the best Russian Masters.
Naming an Old Russian name among the Slavs: Native Traditions
On Ancient Rus' the name had special meaning among the Slavs. The ancestors believed: giving a person a name is fateful and influences events in his life and the outcome of each of them, attracts good luck, gives strength, and has a protective meaning. That is why the Slav had from three to twelve names, depending on his activity and time spent in Yavi.
Let’s make a reservation right away - all the names given by people and the Family were Nicknames. Even now, the tradition of calling a person with any word that most accurately defines him to identify a person in society has been preserved. All the ancient Russian names chosen by him and the Gods were True and sacred.
The meaning of the Old Russian name and its role in the life of a Slav
The child received his first Slavic name immediately at birth or even long before it. It was given by the Father of the Family and had the property of being tied to the Family, an instrument for the Elders to protect their Descendant. All rituals to nourish, cleanse, and heal the child took place through this name. Such Old Russian names most often looked like a characteristic and wish for those character traits or physical virtues that, in the opinion of the Parents, were needed or had already been reflected in their sons and daughters. Milolika, Zabava, Bogodar, Svetomir - all these and many other ancient Russian names reflect the emotions and kind message of the Elders of the Family to their child.
The ritual of the Slavic naming of the Native Gods was carried out on children when they reached twelve years of age. A girl or boy was accepted into the Family as its full members, leaving the full paternal protection, although they remained forever bound by the Roots of the Tree. This sacrament was performed using the Power and Knowledge of the priest. With the help of a special ritual and turning off the internal dialogue, turning to the Gods, he looked through the emerging character, destiny and heard the name that was given to the person from above.
This is Slavic, ancient Russian name was the most important thing for a boy or girl throughout his life, and was not subject to disclosure. It was communicated by the priest tête-à-tête during the purification of the child in the river and initiation into the Family, and was then used only when communicating with the Gods or performing magical or egregorial rituals for personal protection, health, strength, and good luck. In the world, a person continued to call himself by a community name, a nickname by birth.
A separate Old Russian name was chosen or given to a person when he was initiated into any profession, when he began to engage in a particular activity: agriculture, architecture, cattle breeding and other craftsmanship areas. The process of naming in this case, as a blessing and protection, granting prosperity and success, consisted of communicating with the Native Gods themselves or with the help of a wise priest.
Priests also received unique Slavic names when they began serving the Pantheon. Moreover, the name itself often contained a root that reflected the essence and name of the Native God whose patronage he chose. Often there were several Patrons, therefore one sorcerer, priest or sorcerer also had several ancient Russian names. They served as an energetic link between Slavi’s worlds. Reveal and Prav, made it possible to safely and unhinderedly perform rituals and ceremonies at the temples with.
The same few personal Slavic names were given for ancient Russian warriors. The first is when making a decision to protect your Motherland and Family. Second and subsequent - before decisive battles and hiking. Each of these ancient Russian names contained a powerful information and energy message to the Gods, their support and protection in combat. For example, for a shield warrior, inflexibility of spirit, body and will was important; for a scout - a quiet step and the ability to be invisible, fast, and for a commander - the ability to lead an army and draw up a wise plan of attack or defense.
The history of the creation of male and female Old Russian names
The formula and the history of the creation of Slavic names for girls, boys, men, women, and priests are also very interesting. Fairly believing that a Slavic name directly affects a person’s entire life and can protect against enemies or Dark forces, our Ancestors showed ingenuity in naming themselves and their Descendants.
The common name and nickname at birth sometimes sounded a little ominous and not at all attractive - Zloba, Krivda, Nekras, Kriv. This is how those Parents named the child because they did not want to attract the attention of evil beings and unkind eyes that could cause the child Bad and Bad. The main category called girls and boys names that expressed the degree of attachment and love for their child, in order to have a closer connection with him before adolescence and the ceremony of the main naming.
Historians identify several groups of Old Russian names used by our ancestors. Almost every Slav had each of their types - it was predetermined and predetermined, born and created...
Names of Slavic origin had:
Roots from the signs and elements of Nature, names of plants or animals: Bunny, Wind, Dawn, Svetoch, Yar, Sedge, Walnut, Pike, Berry, Trees, Colors, Wolf, etc.
Roots from the emotions and qualities of a Slav: Lyubava, Uslada, Zabava, Blaginya, Sineoka, Smeyana, Strength, etc.
Roots named after native Gods: Lada, Yarilo, Magus, Volos, etc.
All these Slavic Old Russian names could consist of either one root, personifying a man of words, or produce new words by adding suffixes and endings. Most often: ending (-neg, -lo, -ta, -tka, -sha, -yata, -nya, -ka).
The same suffixes and endings, softening or strengthening the energy message of the name, were also applied to two-part names. These include all the beautiful Slavic names ending with:
- peace, - glory, - gift, - love, - boron, - vlad, - view, - ved, - zar, - sweet, - wise, - given.
And other roots that determine the essence and direction of a person’s activity, his role and destiny: Jaromir, Vsevlad, Ratibor, Dobrolyub, Miroslav, Svetovid, Bogdan, Velomudr, Svetozar, Lyubomila, etc.

Are you choosing a name for your newborn son? Parents always dream of their child being the happiest and healthiest. And the first thing you can do for it is to give it the right name. After all, a name is a sign that influences not only the character, but also the fate of a person.
But the problem is that, firstly, the list of names is huge. Secondly, I would like to consider the strong and euphonious Slavic male names, which have become popular again. In the article you will find out what traditions existed in naming boys in Rus' and what Slavic names meant.
What were boys called in Rus'?
Our ancestors, the Slavs, were strong and beautiful people. Rus' was famous for its heroes, and their names were bright. We learn about this from folk tales, epic. The poem "The Tale of Igor's Campaign" presents us with whole line wonderful characters with memorable names.
When choosing a Slavic name for a boy, our ancestors Special attention paid attention to its significance. It had to necessarily reflect the character traits of the future man, warrior or successor of the family - grandfather, father. The names of men differed from the names of peoples of other countries in their connection with the forces of Nature, gods and clan.
Slavic names for boys were chosen by parents depending on the type of employment, in honor of glorious ancestors, based on the child’s character qualities.
For example, Dobrynya is kind,
Vsevolod - owner of everything,
Rodomir – the bringer of peace and many others.
The sons were named in honor of the pagan gods: the name Jaromir consists of two roots - Yarilo (sun god) and peace.
There were names indicating the order of birth of a child in the family: Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak.
The most common group is represented by two-basic names: Bogdan, Vsevolod, Svetozar, Svyatoslav, Ratibor, Tihomir, Yaropolk.
There were names associated with mythical characters, representatives of flora and fauna, natural phenomena: Brave, Pike, Hare, Yarilo, Lada.
Why are Slavic male names forgotten?
This was mainly influenced by the baptism of Rus', which occurred in the 10th century. Pagan beliefs were replaced by a national unified religion. With the change of faith, changes also occurred in people’s lives, their way of life, and their worldview.
Bans were imposed on the original Slavic names, so they gradually faded from memory and were forgotten. They were replaced by Hebrew, Byzantine, Greek, Babylonian, Syrian names. In the 19th century, very few Russian names remained; names of Latin origin appeared in families. IN modern Russia According to statistics, there were only 5% of boys with Old Russian names.
How to recognize Slavic names?
Male Slavic names had sacred meaning. They are beautiful, euphonious, and also strong-willed and strong. You can easily recognize them. Usually they consist of two bases: the first is the main one and was given at the birth of a child, the second was added when the boy grew up and had certain merits and showed himself in something. For example,
Absey - born on the first day of spring,
Vsemil - dear to everyone,
Daroslav - giver of the word,
Yaropolk is an ardent warrior.

Rus' was famous for its people; nowhere else were there so many heroes, and today we propose to remember and consider forgotten male names. They almost all disappeared into oblivion. When the baptism of Holy Rus' took place, they were replaced by Greek, Jewish, Roman and other names of foreign origin.
Why are old names forgotten?
At the baptism of Rus', faith also changed, replaced pagan gods the one God for all people has come. Until the moment of baptism, many people were named in honor of pagan rulers, this is how, for example, the name Jaromir came about, and it consists of two parts - the name of the god Yarilo plus the world. Changing their faith, people wanted to completely eradicate the old deities, erase them from memory, so they even changed their names. Bogatyrs and wise men were forcibly baptized and called them as prescribed by the new Christian faith.
Male Slavic names and their meanings have already been almost completely forgotten. Many parents mistakenly believe that they call their children old, forgotten, but still real Slavic names. For example, the same Ivan is a name known from many fairy tales, which is considered Russian. Yes, it is Russian, but not Slavic, and comes from John, a Jewish name, and appeared after baptism.
Many more such “erroneous” names can be included, for example, Matvey, Zakhar, Luke, Daniel. An overview of male Slavic names and their meanings is in the further contents of the article. We will look at the “strongest” and most beautiful ones, and future parents will be able to choose a real ancient Slavic name from the list.
How to recognize?
Male Slavic names were especially carefully selected, and their meanings carried a sacred meaning. It is possible to recognize such a name, and very simply. For example, the name Casimir is Slavic. It consists of “seems” or “to show” and “world”, that is, “showing the world”. But Parnassus, a name considered Slavic, is not such, since no meaning is captured by the ear.
It is also worth noting that the sound “a” was very rarely used in Ancient Rus' when naming a baby. More often they chose the softer ones - “i”, “e”, “ya”.
Most often, male Slavic names consisted of two stems, and their meanings were immediately clear. The first part was the main one and was given at birth. The second part was added when the child grew to a certain age, and it symbolized merit, sphere of influence or some object. Smerds, that is, people who are insolvent, powerless, were left without the second part of their name.
What were children named in Rus'?
Men's and were chosen by parents and reflected the type of employment. For example, peasants who were engaged in farming, fishing and hunting named their children without any special tricks, and their sons were called Hare, Catfish, Pike. It was from peasant names that many surnames originated.
Often, from birth, a baby was named so as not to be jinxed - the name was the complete opposite of appearance, character and mental abilities. Thus, the boys were called Fools, Negligents, Malices, Nekrasami and other ugly names. P
Later, when the guy was handed over to be raised by men, he was already named so that the name reflected the essence of the person. Future governors became Yaropolks, Dobrognevs and Ratibors. Hunters were given the names Brave, Stoyan, Eagle, Wolf and others like that. The particle “holy” was added to future clergy, hence the name Svyatoslav - real, ancient Slavic.
Often in families, children were called by the name and number with which they were born. There were usually a lot of children, so parents didn’t bother with the choice. This is how Pervushi, Vtoraki, Tretyak, Osmin and others appeared. Over time, the name changed to a two-part name, but family members continued to call the person as they were named at birth.
Terrible Slavs
It was male Slavic names that played a big role, and their meanings fully revealed the essence of character. If a boy was strong, tall and strong by the age of seven, he was handed over to be raised in a squad. And there they already named the boy based on his qualities. For example, Dubynya is strong and powerful, like an oak. Gorislav is as resilient as a mountain, but at the same time a nice guy! Dobrognev is angry, but in the name of good, that is, he will defeat all enemies for the sake of his homeland. Winter is calculating, persistent and cold. Mstislav is famous for his revenge.
Boys with flaws
If a child with physical disabilities was born into a family, then he was called the same as ordinary children, that is, a name that would not be jinxed, but it already reflected the essence. For example, Nevzor is blind, unseeing, Koschey is skinny, Nekras is ugly, ugly. As the child grew older, his name also changed. Usually, boys with flaws grew into kind guys filled with love for everything. This is how the Bogomils appeared - dear to the gods, the Peacelubs - loving everyone, peace-loving, the Blagoslavs - famous for their kindness, the Sestromils and Bratomirs - beloved by brothers and sisters (that is, all people).
Names that have come down to us
There are still popular male Slavic names today, and their meanings are of interest to many. The list is small, but everyone has at least one friend with a name such as Vladimir, Vsevolod, Vladislav. They have come down to us because rulers, representatives of rich and noble families, and governors bore such names. Less popular today are Wenceslaus, Borislav and Borimir.
Examples from fairy tales
Some are men's and female names and their meaning existed even after the baptism of Rus'. These are deception names that were given to babies in order to ward off trouble, evil forces and the evil eye from them. You can remember from fairy tales such heroes as Ivan the Fool, Koschey, and the Princess of the Unsmeyana. Even in literary work the ancient Slavic decoy name has been preserved - Mazai, that is, smeared.
Beautiful male Slavic names and their meanings: list
Today, Slavic names are gaining more and more popularity. Returning to one's roots plays an important role in cultural self-determination.
