The name determines the fate of a person. This is the key to his inner self. After all, it was not without reason that in Russia 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 a protection against unkind spirits and unkind people.
Often the first Slavic name was deliberately unattractive (Kriv, Nekras, Spite), for more more protection from the bad guys. After all, without a key to the essence of man, 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 abounded in their diversity, there were groups of names:
1) Names from the animal and flora(Pike, Ruff, Hare, Wolf, Eagle, Walnut, Borscht)
2) Names in order of birth (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak)
3) Names of gods and goddesses (Lada, Yarilo)
4) Names according to human qualities (Brave, Stoyan)
5) And the main group of names - two-basic (Svyatoslav, Dobrozhir, Tikhomir, Ratibor, Yaropolk, Gostomysl, Velimud, Vsevolod, Bogdan, Dobrogneva, Lyubomila, Miroljub, 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: Holy + sha = Holy.
Of course, the names of people carry a significant part of the culture and traditions of the whole people. In Russia with the advent of Christianity Slavic names almost completely vanished into oblivion. There were lists of Slavic names forbidden 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 Russia, tried to restore the cult and traditions (magicians, heroes). To date, only 5% of children in Russia are called Slavic names, which certainly impoverishes the already meager Slavic culture.

Old Russian and Slavic names in Russia, today
The main array of modern Russian names are the names of saints contained in Orthodox church calendars("saints"). Sometimes such names are called "calendar". By origin, they are all very different: ancient Greek, ancient Roman (Latin), Hebrew, Assyrian, ancient Egyptian, ancient Germanic, Scandinavian, Arabic. But over hundreds of years, these names have been completely assimilated in the Russian language environment and acquired a completely Russian sound and form. Who's to say that Ivan or Marya are not Russian names?
As for the huge number of ancient Russian and Slavic names, only 20 names have survived to our time:Boris, Vera, Vladimir, Vladislav, Vsevolod, Vyacheslav, Izyaslav, Lyubov, Lyudmila, Militsa, Mstislav, Nadezhda, Rostislav, Svyatoslav, Yaropolk, Yaroslav, as well as Gleb, Igor, Olga and Oleg, who appeared in Russia along with the Varangians. And it should be noted that the named names were preserved only due to the fact that somehow miraculously got into Orthodox saints.

one). All the above Old Russian-Varangian-Slavic names (from Bazhena to Yaroslava) really existed, and this is confirmed by historical documents (see the works of Moroshkin M.Ya. and Tupikov N.M. And such names as Lada, Ruslana, Svetlana and Snezhana only seem ancient, in fact, these are "artificial" names with an age not exceeding 150-200 years.
2). Regarding the elementglory, glory, then it means not only "glory" (as evidence of universal respect), but also "to be called, named, reputed, to be known."
3). RootGlad-in Slavic names like Radmila, Radoslava means not onlyrejoice, but alsoplease(i.e. to bake, care for, contribute to); rootPower-meanshomeland, fatherland.
4). Our ancestors had the same names Svyatoslav and Svetoslav, since the wordslightandholiness, lightandSaintexpress the same meaning - "pure, unstained."
5). NamesFaith, Love, Lyudmila, Militsa, Nadezhda, Olga are the names of Orthodox saints, so they can be both passport and godparents. If you want to name the girl any other name from the above list (Bozhena, Vlasta, Zlata, Inga, Miroslava, Radmila, Yaroslava, etc.), then keep in mind that for baptism you need to prepare one more name - “calendar” (that is, contained in the Orthodox "saints").

The name determines the fate of a person. This is the key to his inner self. After all, it was not without reason that in Russia 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 a protection against unkind spirits and unkind people. Often the first Slavic name was deliberately unattractive (Kriv, Nekras, Malice), for even greater protection from the evil. After all, without a key to the essence of man, it is much more difficult to cause evil. The ceremony of the second naming was carried out in adolescence, when the main character traits were formed. The name was given based on these traits. Slavic names abounded in their diversity, there were groups of names:1) Names from the animal and plant world (Pike, Ruff, Hare, Wolf, Eagle, Nut, Borsch)
2) Names in order of birth (Pervusha, Vtorak, Tretyak)
3) Names of gods and goddesses (Lada, Yarilo)
4) Names according to human qualities (Brave, Stoyan)
5) And the main group of names - two-basic (Svyatoslav, Dobrozhir, Tikhomir, Ratibor, Yaropolk, Gostomysl, Velimud, Vsevolod, Bogdan, Dobrogneva, Lyubomila, Miroljub, 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: Holy + sha = Holy.
Of course, the names of people carry a significant part of the culture and traditions of the whole people. In Russia, with the advent of Christianity, Slavic names almost completely fell into oblivion. There were lists of Slavic names forbidden by the church. Why this happened is not difficult to guess. One part of the names (Lada, Yarilo) were the names of the Slavic gods, the owners of the second part were people who, even after the Christianization of Russia, tried to restore the cult and traditions (magicians, heroes). To date, only 5% of children in Russia are called Slavic names, which certainly impoverishes the already meager Slavic culture.
The purpose of this section is not only the introduction of the concept of truly Russian names into the people. The following not rare situation can serve as an example: The girl was named Gorislava. Neighbors wondering unusual name they say: “They couldn’t call me Ira or Katya in Russian” - without comment. The main purpose of this section is to create a global list of Slavic names (by the way, by far the largest in Runet today) with an attempt to determine the meanings of names and comparisons with historical and legendary figures.
