Names are another aspect of fashion. For different generations, their choice was completely determined different criteria. However, like the entire fashion world, the fashion for names is characterized by a kind of cycle.

Tell me what is your name...

Fate, inner self, rock and signs - according to astrologers, numerologists, as well as numerous Internet sites, all these confusing concepts are extremely influenced by a person’s name. And despite the fact that some consider this nonsense, and others - the truth, it is difficult to argue that, in the end, there is something here. It’s not for nothing that sometimes a name seems completely inappropriate for a person. So how could it be if it were just a word? Everyone goes through life with him, and it is he who is asked first of all when meeting someone. This means that it is obviously believed that with the help of a name you can get to know a person better.

Origin

Modern male names are an assortment of ancient and modern, foreign influences and Slavic motifs. So, when choosing what to name a child, they now use the most unexpected options. Apparently, right now a generational change is taking place, in which there is a kind of fashionable revolution, a return to the roots. The styles of past centuries begin to appear in the clothes, and in the names - something ancient, half-forgotten. Now it’s not so difficult to meet kids on the street running to their mother’s call “Kiryan!” or "Elisha!"

The beauty of sounds

It is difficult to say how to determine whether a name is beautiful. After all, this is a matter of taste. But at one point one of them becomes more popular, more famous, begins to be associated with aesthetics and grace, and in the case of male names, also with strength and masculinity. An inexplicable phenomenon!

So, about five years ago the name Maxim turned out to be the most beautiful, and the rest of the modern male names lost in this battle. Newborn boys are often called Maxims to this day. This is the third most popular choice in Russia.

The most unusual beautiful male names

Modern resources allow you to gain open access to information on almost any issue. Thanks to them, it’s not so difficult to choose original male names from thousands of options. Modern Russian young couples are not limited to the banal choice in favor of Ivanov and Petrov; when thinking about what to name the boy, they strive for mystery in the sound.

So, the rarest and most beautiful names of men of our time are given below:

• Christian;

  Mstislav;

• Eric.

Whatever the choice from this list, the ideal option is when the name is combined with a surname and patronymic, which emphasize its sonority. Exclusivity in something always imposes certain obligations on its owner. IN in this case: compliance with your extraordinary name and wearing it with dignity, willingness to face misunderstanding from others.

Closer to the heart

Despite the fact that unusualness usually closely borders beauty, which was literally confirmed by the previous section, we should not forget that simplicity has its own sophistication. Russian male names are no worse than foreign ones. Modern girls they choose Mikhailov and Konstantinov instead of Edwards and Anvars, feeling in them a security that stands above pathos. By “Russian” we mean not origin, but prevalence.

Among the names whose popularity has not faded over the years:

Alexander;

Alexander and Dmitry are a separate conversation; These have long been very popular beautiful male names in the vastness of Russia. Modern boys, guys and men wear them with pleasure, just as nobles, princes and kings did back in the 19th century.

What's in your name?

Every time, looking anywhere for male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - it doesn’t matter, most of all the searcher is interested not so much in a specific list, but in the meaning. It's always interesting to know the secret hidden behind a combination of letters.

Modern male names and their meanings correlate with each other quite clearly: for example, Alexander, already mentioned in this article, is translated as “protector.” It’s not for nothing that the famous commander immediately comes to mind. Interestingly, the name Alexey has the same etymology. As you can see, the common root “Alex” is responsible for the semantic energy, although when short forms It’s precisely he who gets lost, leaving much nicer options Sasha and Lesha.

How indicative is this example: beautiful male names modern realities forced to simplify and reduce, all their grandeur is lost. Sometimes this comes in handy, but I wouldn’t want the origins to be forgotten one day and the power to be lost forever.

Modern male names: list

So, the young couple is waiting for a miracle to happen - the birth of a child, in this case a son. She begins to look for suitable male names in all sources of information. List (Russian modern dictionaries fortunately, they are full of such “databases”), the choice is usually extremely large, and each source tries to classify them in its own way.

Some (even most) of them present lists where male names, beautiful, modern, Russian - all in one listing, but distributed alphabetically.

Below, in turn, is a list where the classification is made by meaning. After all, of course, every parent wants their child to have exceptional qualities.

"Winner":

• Andronik;

"Defender":

• Alexander;

• Bronislav;

• William;

"Strong, mighty":

• Valentine;

"Great, glorious":

• Vladislav;

  Vyacheslav;

• Sevastyan;

  Stanislav.

"Bold, Brave at Heart":

• Leopold;

"Wise, reasonable":

• "Noble, generous, peaceful":

Meanings of the most popular names for men

In the previous paragraph, male names were considered: the list (Russian modern ones for the most part, foreign ones for the lesser part) pleased with new, extraordinary combinations of sounds and long-known ones, loved in the vastness of our homeland. In Russia, the most used male names over the past ten years are:

• Alexander;

What does each of them mean?

Alexander

Alexander was and remains the most famous male name. It is popular not only in the post-Soviet countries, but also abroad. Many famous personalities bore this name: Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin, Alexander the Great.

Its origin is Greek. The name is made up of the phrase “I protect people.” Alexandras are always persistent and strong individuals, real men with a reputation for fair people.

Dmitry

The name Dmitry also comes from Greece. The sunny country called the young men this way in honor of the goddess of fertility Demeter.

Men named Dmitry have a strong will to live, they are kind at heart, although they sometimes commit harsh acts. Loyalty - distinguishing feature Dmitry throughout life path. Sometimes they are too talkative, which interferes with achieving goals, but natural perseverance wins, so they never stop if they really want to achieve something.

Maxim

The name Maxim is distinguished among the three most popular male names by its origin - it is Latin. Translated from this language - “greatest”.

Maxims are often altruists, they love people and believe in them - they want to see something good in every person, which is why they sometimes suffer. At the same time, such men are strong in character, persistent and stubborn, they are not afraid of responsibility, and they make good and caring fathers. By the way, children are loved in principle, both their own and those of others.

Conclusion

To believe or not to believe that a name has sacred power is everyone’s choice. But even the most cynical person on earth is unlikely to be able to call it just a word.

Male names of any time are amazing because, no matter how majestic their sounds full form, always keep a short, diminutive, for those closest to you. She reveals sensuality and softness, without which even the harshest man would be nowhere.

Often in a family where a male child is expected, one of the most difficult problems is choosing a name. Nowadays names for boys are being chosen both with a slightly “foreign” sound and traditional Russian ones. But in any case, the choice must be balanced, depending on many criteria.

The most important

In pursuit of the best or most beautiful of names, it is important not to miss the main thing:

• When choosing a name for a boy who will continue the family line and protect the family clan, it is important that in the future it becomes the basis for a good, harmonious patronymic for grandchildren.
• Rare, strange, funny, meaningless names for boys are negatively perceived by society. For example, the name of the hero of a favorite TV series can become an object of ridicule for a child at school and kindergarten.
• Psychologists do not advise naming a child after the father. In addition to the everyday inconvenience of coincidence, this may be the reason nervous disorders future heir.

In honor of relatives

A peculiar tradition of naming a boy as a sign of respect, gratitude, love for someone is an interesting idea. But will the owner of the name like it in the future? Here are examples of who male children are often named after:

• A relative. This could be a dear grandfather, uncle, beloved godfather of one of the parents. Why not? The child will be the darling of a beloved relative, an object of care and protection.
• Deceased relative. Not the best best idea for superstitious parents. So it was popular among the people that in this case, the newborn, on a subconscious level, will copy all the character traits and fate of the deceased.

The child can be named after a man - an obstetrician who successfully delivered the child, or any other person who once gave a helping hand and played a vital role in the fate of the father or mother of the unborn child. In any case, the decision must be balanced, agreed upon by both father and mother.

Seasons

The time of year when the birth of a child is planned affects the fate and character of the newborn.

Let's look at the names of boys born in different seasons:

• Winter. Arseny, Mikhail, Pavel, Alexey, Semyon, Valentin. Soft and calm names are necessary to compensate for the stubborn, strong, strong-willed nature of winter men.
• Spring. More solid-sounding ones are suitable here, because spring children rarely have a lively character. To unborn child was always confident in himself, he can be called Oscar, Boris, Timur, Victor, Gleb.
• Summer. Active, proud, summer men love risk and freedom. Short, courageous ones are suitable for these people: Gleb, Roman, Denis, Anton, Mark.
• Autumn. Balanced realists born in autumn trust few people. Smart and calm boys this time of year need sonorous names vying for attention: Nikolay, Sergey, Peter, Felix, German, Kirill.

Last name and patronymic

Parents looking over names for a boy need to think about the euphony of the name in combination with the child’s patronymic and surname. Consonants play an important role. These may be predominant voiced or voiceless consonants. The name must contain the same consonants as in the patronymic or surname. For example, Ivanov Matvey Semenovich (predominance of noisy consonants) or Andreev Viktor Borisovich (hard consonants).

This combination is considered pleasant to hear and pronounce, and also makes communication with the owner easy and convenient. Many people believe that short boy names are more suitable for long surnames and vice versa.

It's fashionable

Naming a boy in a fashionable way is the choice of many modern parents who keep up with the times. Every New Year rich in an abundance of popular male names.

Which ones are relevant in the mid-2010s?

• Benedict,
• Arthur,
• Adam,
• Hermann,
• Walter,
• David,
• Ignat,
• Rudolf,
• Plato,
• Taras.

Fashionable ones are often outdated, long forgotten, for example, Khariton, Klement, Zakhar. In an effort to pay tribute to fashion, it is important not to overdo it and not name the boy too funny, difficult or strange.

According to the church calendar

A little time has passed since the time when all children were named according to their name days in the church calendar. Such a number suggested to parents male names for their newborn. To this day it is believed that a boy named according to the calendar will have good health, successful work and a happy family. Unfortunately, such a number has limited quantity names that might appeal to modern spouses.

According to the value

Each name, translated from various ancient languages, has a special characteristic and meaning. When choosing a name for a boy, parents often want to invest certain qualities in the future heir:

• Andrey is courageous.
• Boris is a struggling man.
• Leo – intelligence and foresight.
• Nikita is a victor. An excellent choice for the future athlete.
• Roman is a favorite of women.
• Peter – independence, conviction.
• Sergey - ideal father and spouse.
• Tikhon is a lucky person.
• Konstantin – constancy.

Valery, Vitaly are those names that personify health and fortitude. Anton is a competitive person who struggles with difficulties. This is what they advise to call weak or premature children, so that the magic of the name will give the boys vitality and improved health.

Important points

Boys' names can be beautiful, short, ancient, double, foreign.

But, among other things, when choosing, you need to pay attention to the following points:

• Nationality. Many families where spouses are representatives different nationalities, have difficulty choosing what to name their child. Here it is important to think about this in advance, find a compromise and take into account the nationality of the future baby. This will help avoid further marital disagreements and resentments.
• Diminutive form of a name. This form should not be annoying, cause irony, or be too difficult to pronounce.
• Place of residence. Prim, sophisticated, rare names boys are inappropriate in small villages with a predominance of traditional views on life. Marcel, Alfred, Antonio, Emmanuel will be more harmoniously perceived by the society of megacities.

Most of the Russian male names that we come across every day are so familiar and familiar to us that we perceive them as Russian names, without especially thinking about their origin. In fact, the original Russians of them are modern society There are literally only a few left. Indeed, Russian male names with Slavic roots turned out to be supplanted over time by names of Greek, Latin (Roman), Jewish, and Scandinavian origin. Today, most male names, borrowed long ago from other nations, are considered Russian, although in fact they have foreign roots.

Russian male names of Slavic origin

Among the first male names that appeared in Rus', there are very few that have “survived” to this day. The overwhelming majority of truly Russian Slavic male names have long been forgotten and exist only in archival materials left by our ancestors. It’s a pity, because these are very beautiful male names!

Russian male names of Greek origin

Borrowed men's greek names have taken root in almost all European languages. They are also in Russian. Many Russian male names of foreign origin have Greek roots. After the adoption of Christianity in Rus', children were given names at baptism. The priest chose the name of the child according to the Saints.

Russian male names of Latin (Roman) origin

Among Russian male names there are many that have Latin roots. The meaning of these male names is based on Latin origin.

Russian male names of Jewish origin

Many male names also have Jewish roots. It would even seem Russian name Ivan is actually of Jewish origin, and it is derived from the Hebrew word Yahweh, which means God has mercy.

Unusual “new” male names were invented during the boom in neologisms in the USSR. Some of these male names were known earlier, but in consonance with the realities of Soviet times they became more widespread.

IN Ancient Rus' They believed that along with the name, the properties contained in the lexical meaning are also transmitted to the man. It was believed that you should not tell your name to a stranger, so as not to be influenced by his witchcraft. Ancient male Russian names and their meanings were unique characteristics of people.

It so happened that Russian male names are represented not only by native Russian names, but also by Greek, Roman, and Jewish ones. That is why the choice of names for parents is great. In Russian families, parents can give their son any name they like. Honoring their ancestors and traditions, Russians name their sons after their grandfathers and great-grandfathers, prominent historical figures, politicians, and artists.

It must be said that most of the modern Russian male names do not actually have Slavic or Russian origin. And all because in the 19th century they forgot about the original Russian names, replacing them then with more sonorous and interesting Byzantine, Greek, Babylonian and Syrian names.

Hebrew names, for example, Daniel, Gabriel, Zakhar, Semyon, are currently extremely popular in Russian families. And all because they are beautiful, sonorous, but at the same time quite strong and strong-willed.

If you don’t want to deviate from traditions and want to give your son a traditional Russian male name, then take a closer look at the following names: Bronislav, Bogdan, Vladimir, Gleb, Yaroslav. Agree, these Russian male names are not devoid of nobility, strength, and courage, characteristic of strong and hardy Russian heroes.
