The Rusichi gave beautiful and euphonious names. Each name was filled with a specific meaning and reflected the character of a person. The modern understanding of some names is distorted, as is the culture of Russians itself.
Modern parents are increasingly trying to find an unusual name for their child. To do this, refer to various sources. Many moms and dads began to pay attention to the names that were given by the Russians. These are beautiful, euphonious names that characterized the wishes of parents to their child.
Male names
For example, the name Radomir means joy for / from the outside world. That is, a person with that name brings joy and harmony to the world. But Ratmir stands up for peace, takes care of the surrounding space. He is more a warrior than a bearer of harmony.
Among the Russians, each sound carried a lot of information, so the names were given with meaning. The same name Arga meant that a person was waiting for the fate of a wandering on Earth, a traveler - "ar" - Earth, "ga" - movement. It may well be that the meaning could be invested somewhat differently - capturing the power, the movements of the planet.
The names were widespread: Blagomir (bringing good to the world), Belozar (clairvoyant), Blagoyar (blagoyarosny), Vladimir (living in harmony with the world), Gorislav (speaking for glory), Thunderbolt (powerful fighter), Zakhar (warrior who owns sacred secrets military art), Kazimir (calling for reconciliation), Lubomyr (loving, bringing love to the world), Mstislav (gloriously revengeful), Rostislav (increasing the glory of the Family). It is interesting to note that the Russians rarely found names beginning with the letter A.
Female names
Women's names were also distinguished by the beauty of sound and deep meaning. Parents made sure that the idea of their own child was reflected in the names. That is why the most common names were: Beloyara (bright), Bratimila (dear to the brothers), Velina (sovereign), Vladimir (living in harmony with the world), Vseslava (glorious to all), Izyaslava (glorious with instructions), Lyubomila (dear, giving love), Metislava (marked by fame), Stoyana (very courageous) and others.
Often, the ancient Russians could determine the character of a person by their names. For example, if a girl Lyubomila meets, then she was almost always a good wife and mother, but at the same time she remained a mystery even for her relatives all her life, as she was always filled with love.
Modern understanding of names
Unfortunately, modern parents do not quite understand the meaning of names. For example, it is believed that Vladimir means "owning the world." According to the ideas of the Russians, you cannot own the world, you can live in harmony with it. To own means to identify oneself with the material world, losing contact with the Genus. And this is already the degradation of the human personality.
In addition, there are a number of misconceptions about certain names. For example, Ivan. For some reason, it is believed that this is a Russian name. In fact, it came from Byzantium - derived from John. The Rusichs took names for their children much more seriously, trying to make fate connected with their ancestors, filled with love and harmony. Therefore, alien names were avoided.
