As you name the child, so he will go through life. This is exactly what they say, characterizing the energy of this or that name. It is difficult to disagree with the fact that any name has its own meaning and, of course, a certain popularity. The most common male and female names in Russia should be considered.
Instructions
Step 1
Alexander. This name has been the most common in Russia for decades! Alexander is translated from Greek as "courageous protector". The owners of this name are endowed with an amazing ability to achieve everything on their own. Alexandrov can make wonderful leaders and managers.
Step 2
Dmitriy. Another most popular name in Russia. It translates from Greek as "dedicated to the goddess Demeter." For reference: Demeter is the ancient Greek goddess of fertility and earth. That is why the name Dmitry is often given the meaning of "farmer". In the Russian language, there are also the so-called "folk" derivatives of this name: Mitya, Mitri, Dimitri.
Step 3
Natalia. This feminine name is considered one of the most ancient on Earth. It originated in the first centuries of Christianity and comes from the Latin Natalis Domini, which means "birth", "Christmas". The modern version of the translation of this name sounds like this: "Born on Christmas." It is worth noting that this name, in principle, has various translation options, but they all come close to the meaning of birth.
Step 4
Sergei. This is one of the most common names in Russia. It is curious that it has several versions of its origin. The most popular of these is the origin of the Roman family name Sergius. Sergius is a very ancient patrician family in Rome. According to legend, it is this genus that comes from the Trojans themselves. Sergey in translation from Latin means "noble", "high".
Step 5
Elena. Perhaps Elena is the most common name of all times and peoples! Its origins are deeply rooted in Ancient Greece. The translation of this name is not unambiguous. Most likely, Elena is “the chosen one”, “bright”. It is often translated as "torch", "light", "fire", "sparkling", "solar", "lunar".
Step 6
Tatyana. Translated from Greek, this name sounds like "founder", "organizer". The fact is that the name Tatiana is formed from the Greek word "tatto", which translates as "I affirm", "I appoint", etc. It is curious that this name has become popular not only in Russia, but also in the West. The diminutive name Tanya is widely popular in the United States, being perceived there as an independent form.
Step 7
Anatoly. From the ancient Greek language it is translated as "oriental", "sunrise", "dawn", etc. It is curious that this was the name given to the inhabitants of the city of Anatolia. This is the ancient name for Asia Minor, which is located east of Greece. That is why this name has another unspoken meaning: "resident of Anatolia".
Step 8
Anastasia. This name is the feminine form of the male name Anastas. Its translation from Greek is as follows: "resurrection", "return to life", "reborn". Its folk primordial Russian form is Nastasya, and the abbreviated form is Nastya.
