What names are given to the children of the Kuban?

Sometimes, the most unusual, for example, female — Bogdana, Ilaria, Amalia, Assel, Nisa, Eulalia, Enessa, etc. Boys are sometimes called — Plato, Maradona, Shandor, Ernst, Ratmir, Svyatozar, May, Antonis, Diomede , Filat, Amur and so on.

Fashion for names — a tribute to the times

Let’s remember the years after the October Revolution. Parents called the children, who is in what much: girls — Revolution, Dazdraperma and even Turbine. Boys — Tractor, Diesel. And then, in general, they came up with the unimaginable for both sexes — Barricades, Decrees, Councils of Deputies. By the way, to put it mildly, excesses with the naming of heirs and heirs are observed not only in our country. But also in other parts of the world, in the same United States of America — Lenin, Messiah, Charisma, Eros, Lexus. One of the Swedish families wanted to give an unusual name to a boy born in one of the Swedish families — rfxxccmnpcccclllmm and more than two dozen characters behind them, four of which are digital. Abracadabra! But the young father and mother decided that they were smarter than others. How would you feel growing up, baby? They didn’t care. Thank God, the court refused to register such a rather strange name. And thus saved the boy from future ridicule of his peers. Until now, even in Mother Russia, they sarcastically recall the attempt of unfortunate parents to give the born child the name Boch rVF 260602, which stands for “Biological Object of the Voronin-Frolov family, born on June 26, 2002”!? The court refused. And he did the right thing! Affirm the intention of the parents, and he would violate the rights of the child to a normal name. Moreover, the set of letters and numbers, in essence, resembles a camp number that would hurt the pride of a grown-up child.

The downward trend in the birth rate in the Kuban

Alas, as sad as it is, you can’t argue with statistics. According to her latest data, regression really takes place. So, if in 2015 74,117 thousand children were born in the region, then in 2017 — 66,954. Although Krasnodar has already become a city with a million inhabitants, and according to data for 2018, 5,603,420 people live in the region. It is noteworthy that at the same time, for many years in a row, more boys are born. And here in the USSR, and in Russia, and as it is sung in a well-known song: “for nine boys, according to statistics, ten girls!”.

There are exceptions, but the Kuban keeps pace with Russia in the names of children

And this means that among hundreds and hundreds of names there are also especially popular ones. So, for boys, parents with great pleasure choose the names included in the top ten: Alexander — the defender of humanity; Alexey — a defender without a second status; Anton — fighting; Arsen — courageous; Artemy is the owner of good health; Bogdan — given by God: Valery — having health; Vasil — regal; Vsevolod — the ruler over all and, finally, Vyacheslav — eternal glory. At the same time, it should be noted that the names given by the parents are both purely Slavic (Vsevolod) and Greek (Aleksey), there are also from Latin (Valery). As it is not surprising, but for more than two decades, Alexander has excelled over all male names! In the Kuban, this fact is no exception. For ten thousand born with this name, four hundred boys are called.

What about the girls?!

The top ten includes such sonorous and beautiful names as Sofia (Sofya), Anastasia, Daria (Darina), Maria, Victoria, Polina, Elizabeth, Ekaterina, Xenia. And it is noteworthy that not only here in Russia, in particular in the Kuban, but also in the near and far abroad. In England, for example, Queen Elizabeth II is very popular. And in our Fatherland, the empress was called Catherine the Great with reverence, in honor of which Krasnodar was previously called Ekaterinodar, and today the airport of the capital of the region has received the name of the Empress. By the way, this name is of ancient Greek origin, meaning “immaculate” and from the Greek Ekaterini, “kataros” — pure. Exists in other languages, but sounds different — Kate, Kate, Kate. And in Georgia, for example, — Ketevan. The name has a warm short form — Katya, Katyusha, Katena, etc. It happens that it also responds to Rin. The church name sounds like Catherine.

The most popular female name in the world

This is Anna. It is characteristic at the same time that they are called girls on almost all five continents and countries. On planet Earth, millions and millions of the fair sex bear her name. It is of Jewish, Biblical origin. Mentioned in the Old Testament and thirteen times in the First Book of Samuel. Means favor, benevolence. Anna is uncompromising, truth-loving, kind, gentle, bright. Like Catherine, the warm short form is Anya, Annochka, Annusha, Anusya, Nyura, Nyusha. It is actively used by the British — Anno, the Spaniards — Ana, the Italians — Anna and other nations and peoples. It is quite common in Kuban. There is a male synonym — Hazar, in India.

Return to religious origins

There are many countries in the world whose people treat religion with great reverence. And it has been going on for thousands of years. Strictly observe its traditions, canons and rituals. Until recently, Russia was an exception in this list. After the revolution, temples were destroyed, religion was condemned as opium for the people. Many compatriots declared themselves ardent atheists. With the collapse of the USSR, those who used to be shy or even afraid to go to church returned to the church. With public donations and with the active assistance of the state, it was restored in the nineties of the past. century Cathedral of Christ the Savior. Accommodating ten thousand believers today, it has the status of the main temple of the country. And not at all for the reason that it is the largest religious building, but because the services of the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church, the Patriarch, are performed in it. It was laid three times and built twice. The temple is the best gift to God. Gratitude to the Savior and the Most Holy Theotokos. New churches appeared in many other cities of the Fatherland. And throughout Russia, the crimson ringing of bells is again heard, surprising many foreigners who come to us with their melody and solemnity. Why are we talking about this in such detail? Because the revival of religion resumed the naming of born children according to the calendar, in other words, the calendar, in which a list of saints is given, whose memory is commemorated on certain days. A child was born, they looked at the calendar, and gave the name to the baby of a saint glorified by the Church. The latter are of both Slavic and Greek, Hebrew and Latin origin. By the way, there are more male names in the calendar, recognized as saints as a sign of their special merits in the glorification of the Orthodox Church. All the names, of course, and you can not list. But some can be named in the month-word for months; January — Daniel, Fedor, Nikita, others; February — Savva, Arseny, Anton, others; March — Pavel, Makar, Dorofei, others; May — Ivan, Valentine, Leonty, etc. And so on for all twelve months. The same can be said about female names. January — Eugene, Claudia, Antonina, Xenia, others; February — Agnia, Theodosia, Anastasia, others; May — Tamara, Alexandra, Elizabeth and so on and so on in order.

The Kuban has been actively using calendars in recent years. And it is noteworthy that more and more young mothers and fathers bring babies to the solemn rite of baptism. So here is a brief about naming babies in our region today. Recall at the same time — our ancestors were convinced that the right choice of name for a born baby can affect his whole life. It was considered a bad omen to name a relative who was still alive, or who died not by his own death, who was seriously ill before his death. The ancient Slavs believed in the transmigration of souls. And they named the babies by the names of relatives, whose destinies during their lifetime developed happily and successfully. And it happened that the baby was called the name of the first person they met (and this also comes from ancient times).
