Male names to name your son. Male names. Male names, letter U

Immediately after future mom finds out the sex of the child, the question arises of what name to name him. The choice of male names is limitless, each has its own charm. But how can you guess which one will suit your future boy?

Many women, even in childhood, know the names they will call their children. However, such a choice is considered not entirely correct - after all, at the time of choosing the name, the baby did not yet exist and did not take part. Now that he is in his mother’s belly, feels all her sensations, knows all her thoughts, he has the right to take part in choosing the name that he will have to bear all his life. But it is known that each name has its own meaning, and it affects the life of the unborn child. Someone else's name, like someone else's dress, will not suit the baby and will make him suffer all his life.

How to choose a name for a boy

So you only need to choose a name together. The simplest and most pleasant option would be the following: the expectant mother sits down comfortably, takes out the entire list of male names that she likes, and begins to read it slowly and legibly. The kid will definitely let you know if he likes something. The message to mom will come in the form of a push. You can choose which name the push will be on.

If on the first try you failed to interest the baby, then you can expand the list and continue reading it. If the boy persists and remains silent, the choice will be possible after his birth. Sometimes one glance is enough for a mother to understand who is lying in front of her.

The list below contains the most beautiful male names. Perhaps among them there is one that your boy will wear.

Russian modern male names. Modern Russian name book

Often in a family where a male child is expected to be born, one of the most complex problems becomes the choice of 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 a coincidence, this may be the cause of nervous disorders of the 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.
• A 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. Important role have consonants. 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 names boys are more suitable 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 then, when all children were named according to their name day. 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 happy family. Unfortunately, such a number has a limited number of 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.
• Sergei is an ideal father and husband.
• Tikhon is a lucky man.
• 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 of 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.

So, the choice of what to name a boy must be approached with all responsibility, so that future man was proud and not ashamed of his name.

According to the biblical legend, the first man's name was Adam, which means his name is the first male name in the history of mankind. Now, after many hundreds and thousands of years, male names number in the hundreds in the name books of all countries and cultures, without exception. And yet, the male name, like the female one, has, and continues to, conceal a secret...

Male names in different cultures of the world

Modern male names in different cultures come in a wide variety of variations. But each individual culture, be it Slavic, Western, Eastern or Central European, has its own naming traditions. In some countries, men are named in accordance with the social status of the families in which they are born, in others the naming occurs in accordance with religion and belief, and there are still other cases in which this process is treated in an extremely simple manner, as in the West and in particular in the USA.

IN Slavic culture, for example, the process of naming a future man is treated extremely responsibly. Here men are always given names that correspond to their religious affiliation, and they try to give men names that could impart at least some biblical energy (although there are exceptions). Previously, newborn children were named this way only temporarily, and a man could receive a full name only after reaching nine years of age - then the name was chosen in accordance with habits, habits, hobbies or personal qualities.

At the same time in medieval Europe and the name was given such attention as is not given to this day in any culture. There, the choice of name was based on several factors at once. One of them was the definition social status and the belonging of the child and his family to one or another social class. But in high societies At that time, the name was more of a “label”, serving solely to distinguish a person from the crowd and identify him in this way.

And in China, men and women are named for completely different reasons. There, what is primarily taken into account is not the energy and meaning of the entire name, but the meaning and symbolism of each individual hieroglyph, imprinted in the full written version of the name. Hieroglyphs in this culture are divided into favorable and unfavorable, those associated with a certain element, and vice versa.

Today, a lot has changed - in many cultures. modern people they have simply forgotten about the centuries-old traditions formed by our ancestors, while in others they are trying to adhere to the traditions of naming men, as well as women, modifying generally accepted ancient traditions and rules. But one thing has not changed - the name should belong to every man and woman, without exception. But now there is no need to associate it with religion, profession, craft or habits. Now you just need to choose the male name that will meet the wishes of your parents. And no one will ever make any claims about this.

Modern naming traditions

Subscribe to our channel

Modern naming traditions for men, as well as women, have been simplified to the point of impossibility. Literally thirty years ago, our ancestors were still trying to name future men in accordance with the main Slavic tradition- in honor of the Saint, who is venerated on the child’s birthday. Now, a lot has changed and you can call it by any name, not only Slavic, and not only church. And besides, given the richness of the Russian naming book, it would be stupid to ignore variants of names that do not correspond to ours cultural traditions and religion.

For Muslims, everything is simpler - here they adhere to only one tradition, which is correct in the opinion of the majority. It consists of naming the future man with a masculine name that will carry favorable energy and mean something positive, correct from a psychological, cultural, and moral point of view.

The most common names among Muslims are still the names of the prophets, as well as some variations of the names of Allah. Historical name variations are also not excluded. The truth is there is one thing important rule– you cannot use exactly one of the hundred names of Allah; you must add the prefix “Ab” to it, which means “slave”.

But in America and most countries of the modern West, the naming of a future man is no longer accompanied by any traditions. Now the naming procedure itself in the West sometimes resembles some kind of insanity. Children are named after singers, football players, famous politicians and just friends. And it doesn’t matter what the name means or what energy it has. And many parents even come up with something that makes them shiver. Although in Slavic culture these cases are no exception - for example, in Ukraine after the “Revolution of Dignity of 2014” many parents called their children “Maidan” and not only...

Name and religiosity: the main criterion for division

Religiosity in terms of naming men still remains the same important criterion, as before. And it is worth noting that religiosity remains the only factor that most new parents still pay attention to.

On our portal, all male names, along with other criteria, are divided into categories according to religion. This:

• Orthodox;
• Catholic;
• Muslim;
• Jewish.

How to choose a suitable male name in modern times?

Choosing a good male name in modern times is not so easy, even though there are a thousand variations of male names, one way or another related to different religions, social factors, cultures and more. Ideally, you need to follow the traditions of the culture to which the child belongs - this is the first thing. That is, perfect option, is to find a name that matches the culture. But now this is not easy to do, because names from all cultures are mixed in one name book.

Thus, you can move on to another option, which involves choosing a modern male name in accordance with religion. Yes, yes, religion still remains almost the most important criterion. But naming in accordance with religion must be done carefully and adhering to traditions. For example, Orthodoxy recommends naming future men after the names of Saints, whose name day is celebrated on the child’s birthday. In addition, over time, a second name may be given - a church name. It is given at the time of baptism.

Names are another aspect of fashion. U different generations their choice was determined by completely 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 beautiful names men of our time are given below:

• Christian;

  Mstislav;

• Eric.

Whatever you choose 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 this case: living up to 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 this example is: modern realities force beautiful male names to simplify and shorten, all their majesty 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.
