100 Pacific Islander Baby Names (Boys & Girls)

Pacific Islander baby names come from a diverse group of nations from the Pacific Ocean referred to as the Polynesian Triangle. This area has New Zealand at one corner, the Easter Islands at the second, and the Hawaiian Islands at the third.

The indigenous Polynesian people share a considerable amount of cultural, social, and linguistic heritage. However, at the same time, each island, group of islands, nation, territory, or state are distinct societies in their own right.

We’ve compiled 25 Samoan girls’ names, 25 Samoan boys’ names, and 25 names for each gender from the wider Polynesian Triangle, so you don’t have to dig in and do the research.

Fiva is an archaic Samoan name, but it is also a Medieval Russian girls’ name. During the Middle Ages, Fiva was the Russian form of Thebe.

7. Kenese

Kenese is the Samoan form of Genesis.

Genesis is rising in the popularity charts in the U.S., where it was ranked number 57 for girls and number 909 for boys in 2019. Using the Samoan form could give a distinctive twist to this increasingly popular name.

Luni is a pretty Samoan name in its own right, but it is especially appropriate for a baby born in the month of June.

While Nuanua means rainbow, nua alone means new. We think this combination is especially appropriate for a beautiful rainbow baby.

17. Olaga

If you have waited a long time for a child, or they have taken their time being born, then Onosaʻi might be an appropriate name for them.

Puleleiite translates to management.

While not the most appealing literal translation, a fuller, more accurate meaning for Puleleiite would be the ruler who can tell the future.

41. Semis

Apikalia is a form of Abigail used in Hawaii and on some of the other Polynesian islands. The name is sometimes shortened to the nickname Kalia.

53. Aroha

Just as many European languages have similar-sounding words with the same meaning, so do many Polynesian cultures. Hence, Aroha may be confused with the better-known Hawaiian word aloha.

54. Haukea

Haukea is from the Hawaiian words for snow and white.

If you enjoy traditional European fairy tales or classic Disney movies, but Snow White is too much of an out-there name, Haukea is a suitable alternative.

Heirani is a Paumotu name, from the islands now known as the Tuamotu Archipelago. This chain of islands and atolls is the largest group of atolls on the planet.

61. Keahi

Keahi is a Hawaiian gender-neutral name meaning the fire.

Keahi is pronounced kay-ah-he with the kai section rhyming with day. Most people who have English as a first language will pronounce this key-a-he or key-a-hi, so be prepared for lots of corrections.

Arguably, the most famous Kiri is Dame Kiri Jeanette Claire Te Kanawa. She is an opera singer from New Zealand who sings music from the 17th to the 20th century, in a range of styles.

63. Lani

Lani is a Hawaiian name that means heaven, sky, majesty, royalty.

Lani has seen a few brief spurts of popularity in the U.S. in both the 1940s and 1950s. However, this is likely due to the use of Lani as an alternative to the English girl’s name Elaine rather than the Hawaiian version.

The gender-neutral Tahitian name Moerani could be looked upon as a name to avoid because many people will see sleep and heaven as synonymous with death.

Not only is Ngaio a beautiful Polynesian girls’ name, it also does double duty as an unusual nature name for girls.

69. Ngaire

Ngaire is a Maori name meaning wetland.

Pronounced Ny-ree, Ngaire is often anglicized with a spelling of Nyree. Why? Because people unfamiliar with the name often think it’s pronounced Nee-gair, which could, understandably, cause issues.

Nikora is a form of Collin, Nils, Nicolas, Nicole, and Nicola that is used predominantly by people of Maori heritage in New Zealand.

Rather than referencing flowers in general, Tiare refers to Gardenia triteness, commonly known as the Tahitian Gardenia or tiaré blossom.

73. Vaihere

The Tahitian girls’ name Vaihere means water, loved.

Vaihere was created by combining the Tahitian word vai, which means water, and here, which means loved or dear. Perhaps this is a suitable choice for a family who enjoy water sports.

25 Polynesian Boy Names

If you’re in the market for a strong-sounding Polynesian boy name, here are our favorites.

76. Aimata

The Tahitian name Aimata means in possession of the eldest.

While the definition of Aimata may be a little clunky, the explanation makes it more straightforward. Aimata combines ai, meaning possessing, and mata from matamua, meaning eldest sibling. Consequently, the first-born child of the family was traditionally named Aimata.

77. Aitoarii

The Tahitian boys’ name Aitoarii means royal warrior.

The Tahitian National Football team is called Aito Ariii, splitting this traditional Pacific Islander name into its constituent words.

81. Ariihau

Ariihau is a boys’ name from Tahiti, meaning king of the peace.

Tahiti is a semi-autonomous administrative division of France. That means you see Tahitian names crop up more frequently in France than in other countries. Ariihau is an example of a Tahitian name becoming a popular French boys’ name.

82. Enoha

Enoha means bird.

The 2018 stop motion movie Enoha tells the story of a boy who lives under the autocratic rule of his family’s landlord, Hiro. Then one day Enoha finds himself hot on the trail of the magical bamboo that Hiro wants.

Eteroa was the original name of the island now known as Rurutu.

84. Hīnano

This Tahitian name means pandanus flower or pandanus blossom.

Pandanus trees are second only to the coconut in importance on many Polynesian islands. The male flower is small and fragrant, with the bloom lasting just a single day. They have many names, including Tahitian screwpine and hala tree.

There are roughly 25,000 islands in the Pacific, and the region is considered one of the most linguistically complex on the planet. While we group Pacific islands together, the area has an incredible social, cultural, and religious diversity.

This provides a rich variety of choices but as with all cross-cultural use of language, it’s essential to consider their cultural and spiritual importance before using a Pacific Islander name for your baby.

Samoan Baby Names For Girls:

Teuila, pronounced as ‘tay Wee Lah’, is one of the prettiest Samoan names. It’s Samoan for beautiful, red ginger flower. It’s also the name of the biggest cultural festival in Upolu.

The name Samoa is derived directly from the beautiful South Pacific Islands. You could also try Sinasamoa, which means ‘white sands of Samoa’. It could be quite an appeal with beach loving parents.

3. Tausa’afia:

The name may be slightly challenging to pronounce, but we think it could be considered as it means ‘pleasant and lovable personality’ and ‘someone who is well-mannered and kind’. The name also sounds slightly familiar with Sophia, making it feel somewhat familiar.

4. Sefina:

Sefina is one of the most rhythmic Samoan names we have come across. It is short for the name Iosefina. You can keep Iosefina as the given name and Sefina as the nickname.

5. Samaria:

Don’t you think this name sounds pretty? This Christian name was made famous by the lovely song by Vaniah Toloa. It’s a Samoan word from ‘Samaritan’. When you break down the word, you get Maria, which means ‘sacred.’

10. Elei:

Elei is a traditional art of decorating fabric in the Samoan cultures. It involves carving patterns on wooden blocks, inking them, and then pressing them onto the fabric. We think Elei would make a nice alternative to the popular Hawaiian name Leilani.

Tamah is a Hebrew name heard widely in Samoa. Meaning ‘innocent and honest,’ Tamah sounds extremely gentle and appealing. For the nickname, you can keep Tammy or Timmi.

The most popular pick is Kai, an easy-breezy sweetheart meaning “sea” that’s seen a recent wave in popularity. When you study Kai, you’ll see the hallmarks of a Polynesian name. He’s nature-based, calm, and striking in style. As we venture through Polynesian boy names together, you’ll notice that many of them start with K, too. There’s also Keanu on the charts, a relaxing name with the meaning of “breeze.” It’s obvious why he’s beloved beyond his Hollywood connection. He has an ear-pleasing sound, and like Kai, he ends in a vowel, a trend that’s seen a steady uptick in use.

If you want something similar to names at the top of the charts but that still honors your heritage, check out Koa. This short and sweet pick is a rhyming twin to the mega-popular Noah. We can envision him scaling the jungle gym and taking the world by storm. You can also check out the slightly longer Kanoa, who gets you the nickname of Noa. Another option is a variant of a name like Keoni, the Polynesian form of John that we absolutely adore. We think his nickname of Kee is precious, too.

Finding a unique baby name is easy with Polynesian boy names, which attracts parents who want something that stands apart. Kaipo is exceptionally rare, but he’s a great way to score the nickname Kai and the charming meaning “sweetheart.” Liko is also an uncommon pick, and his sound is both stylish and striking. We love his -o ending and can imagine him playing around in the waves with his friends. You should also take a peek at Mele if you’d like something rare. He means “song” and is the perfect choice for a baby boy destined for a life surrounded by music.

As you likely know, we’re huge fans of meanings at MamaNatural. From the nature-rooted to the religious, Polynesian boy names offer meanings for everyone. Our top pick is Aolani. He means “cloud from heaven,” which is breathtaking and perfectly fits the newest heavenly addition to your family. Similarly, Kalani means “the heavens.” These handsome names are great ways to honor your heritage and spirituality at once. For a little guy with the world as his oyster, there’s Konala, whose charismatic meaning of “world leader” will guide him through life. You could also capture the beauty of morning with Alaula, a singsong moniker meaning “light of dawn.” We encourage you to keep your eye on meanings as you explore. They can make a name soar to the top of your baby name list.

Japanese names for boys and their meanings

Japanese names for men are quite difficult to write and read. This is due to the fact that when parents give a name to their child, they have the right to use a large number of characters.

In addition, many names that are popular among the Japanese have similar pronunciations and spellings, but have different meanings. It is quite difficult to fully understand all these features of the culture of the East.

Original Japanese male names are very poetic and sonorous, for example, Mamoru, Noboru, Takumi, Fujita, etc. It is impossible to unambiguously translate them and give them a specific meaning.

However, at present, modern Japanese are trying to make life easier for their own descendants, so they call them simple names borrowed from Europe or America. They go pretty well with Japanese surnames.

Japanese names for boys

Laws of education Japanese names are rooted in ancient times. Somewhere around 300 BC. e. in Japan there was a culture called «Jemon», which at that time reached the top of its development. Over the years, this culture has changed, transforming into another, called «Yaen» by modern scientists. Then the formation of the Japanese national language began. At that time, the country’s society was divided into several classes: clans (the ruling elite), artisans and slaves, and a certain component of his name necessarily denoted the social category of a resident of Japan.

If a person’s name contained the component «bridle», it meant that he belongs to the upper class of Japanese society. The particle «be» said that the owner of the name feeds himself and his family with hard work. Years later, numerous clans were formed with the components «bridle» and «be», and the status of the inhabitants all this time underwent various changes.

Today it is already very difficult to determine something by these particles, but their presence in the name still indicates the genealogical roots of the Japanese. In Japanese society, aristocrats (kuge) and samurai (bushi) were considered elected, and only they had the right to a surname. The rest of the citizens could only bear nicknames and first names. And so it was until the 19th century.

Beautiful

In Japan, naming options for a child are considered beautiful, in which the chosen word is consonant with the surname and successfully combines with it in meaning.

The most popular options are:

Aki – autumn;
Daichi — greatness;
Yoshiyuki — fair happiness;
Kiyoshi — purity;
Keitashi — hardness;
Noboru — virtue;
Toru is a wanderer;
Takeo is a warrior;
Yutaka is a success.

Boys are often called Yutaka

The influence of the samurai clan on the origin of Japanese male names

The formation of the Japanese samurai clan dates back to the 7th century. It was formed by the samurai Minamoto Yoritomo, the first of the military usurpers. Then the situation in the country was perfectly suited for the prosperity of the samurai. They were given the right to choose names for themselves and assign serial numbers to their servants. If we consider the construction of male Japanese names Ichiro (eldest son), Shiro (third), Goro (fifth), we can determine their origin thanks to the particles “iti”, “si” and “go”, which were taken from the numbers first, third, fifth.

A similar principle has been preserved to this day, only now it does not mean that the bearer of such a name belongs to the class of the poor. If a samurai fell ill with a serious illness, then he received an excellent reason to take a new name for himself.

How are names formed in Japan?

The art of naming, like origami or growing miniature bonsai trees, has been passed down through families for generations. There is not a single Japanese who does not know the basic principles of composing names, but, of course, not every inhabitant of this country can come up with a truly beautiful and meaningful name for a newborn girl.

Each name is a compound word consisting of many others. The basic principles used to create the name are as follows:

For example, a female name meaning «Death» can be supplemented by the epithets «instantaneous», «inevitable». But they can also add explanations — “in order to preserve honor”, “in order to avoid the worst fate, shame.” Other additions to the core word are also possible, for example, words that give harmony and poetry.

For example, the name of the world famous Japanese cartoon creator Miyazaki has the following meaning:

Accordingly, the name of the cartoonist can be translated into Russian as «Palace with a temple on the cape. »

Modern male Japanese names

Today, Japanese male names represent numerous varieties of ancient ones. The only thing that unites them is the presence of some component inherited from their ancestors. Even now, Japanese names depend on the serial number under which the boy was born in the family. The eldest son has the suffix «iti» and «kazu» in his name, the second son — «ji», and the third — «zo». All adult residents of Japan are entitled to a pseudonym. After death, most Japanese receive new (posthumous) names — «kaimyo». They are written on a special wooden tablet, symbolizing the spirit of the deceased. In general, the Japanese do not care much about personal names, because they believe in the existence of the reincarnation of souls.

One-component

There are names, surnames, consisting of one character. They are called single components. The symbol that forms them is a verbal or adjective in the old final form. In the language of the Land of the Rising Sun, there are two types of reading hieroglyphs: according to on (on, Chinese) and according to kun (kun, Japanese). Single-character names are more likely to have kun readings, such as Hiroshi (broad).

The group of words consisting of one character from the vago class is especially numerous. They are formed from predicative adjectives. The letter of the name is the final form; its pronunciation ends with the syllable «si». Less commonly, one-component variants are formed from nouns. When constructing, the variable ending is discarded, only the root is preserved.

One-component words — characteristic of the Japanese language. They are used for both given names and surnames. In the second case, the origin is from medial verb forms or a noun. More often than others you can hear: Watari (crossing), Hata (plantation).

Occasionally one-component words are read on it.

The annual count of the options chosen by parents proves that among the short ones the most common are:

Hiroshi;
Minoru;
Hitoshi;
Noboru;
Takeshi.

Boys are often referred to as Hitoshi

Which name has the meaning «Death»?

Of course, there is also a female name that means «Death» in the direct, and not in the indirect sense. But even in this case there is a very important caveat.

Women’s names in Japan are the embodiment of poetry, harmony and abstraction. In other words, the very concept of death in Japanese female names is conveyed in an image, description, as in poetry.

What name means «Death»? Miyuki (Miyuki) — translated into Russian, it is a whole poetic phrase — «the silence of deep snow.» Not the best meaning for a feminine name, is it?

How to avoid this meaning when choosing a Japanese name?

Before you give your daughter a beautiful sounding exotic name, you need not only to know its translation, but also to get an idea about the mentality, cultural characteristics, history, traditions and folklore of the country where it comes from.

This is especially important if a Japanese name is chosen. Knowledge of translation is not enough. Even knowing it, you can accidentally choose a female name for the newborn, meaning «Death.» For example, which of the Europeans will be alerted by the translation «bush of chrysanthemums in bloom»? But the chrysanthemum is one of the main symbols of death in Japan.

But in the modern world, the mutual penetration of cultures is so great, and superficial at that, that it is very difficult to avoid the temptation to name a daughter with a beautiful exotic name.

What to do? Make up an adverb on your own, taking as a basis the word that accurately conveys the desired meaning, but is not a specific concept. For example, you do not need to use the names of plants, just the word «flower» is enough. It needs to be translated into Japanese using a dictionary, listen to the sound and add any additions. In this case, the negative, from the European point of view, meaning of the name can be avoided.

180 most beautiful (list with value)

Japanese male names are a complex semantic and written construction that can be difficult for non-native speakers to understand even after many years of living in the country. The point here is that in Japan, parents have a wide «range» of hieroglyphs when choosing a name for a newborn boy.

In addition, the difficulty here lies in the fact that many Japanese names that are widely popular among citizens are pronounced and spelled very similarly, but their meaning can be radically different. Only those who were born here or have lived all their lives can fully understand and realize all these traditions of the East.

History of origin

The formation of any names in any country or culture is associated with the peculiarities of language formation. Japan is no exception. Here, all processes began three centuries before our era. Japanese society at that time was divided into three full-fledged estates: the noble estate (these are the so-called clans and the ruling elite), the estates that served the ruling elite, the slaves (the lower estate, practically without rights).

The names that certain people were given could tell through some specific components about what class they belonged to and what status they had in society. For example, if the name contained the form «uji», then the bearer of this name was related to the noble ruling class. The particle «be» spoke about the person’s belonging to the working class.

In modern Japan, male names also consist of several elements. Usually they combine both the personal name and the surname of the bearer at once. This practice is generally very popular in Asian countries and cultures. At the same time, for writing Japanese names, those hieroglyphs are used, the pronunciation of which can change in different situations.

Modern Traditions

At present, all Japanese have one surname and one given name. Patronymic names are not used in this culture. There is an exception to the rule, namely the names of members of the emperor’s family — they ONLY have personal names, and they do not have a surname (which is understandable).

In contrast to the Western tradition, in Japan, the first and last names are called in reverse order when introduced. The Japanese pronounces the surname first, and only then the name. The reason for this practice is simple: the names for their children are chosen by the parents themselves, using hieroglyphs for writing, of which there are a huge number, and this number exceeds the number of surnames.

Adjacent cultures and the formation of male names in Japan

In the 7th century, the samurai clan in Japan occupied one of the most privileged positions in society. For several centuries, the samurai prospered and occupied a dominant position in the hierarchy. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the fact that he had a significant impact on the formation of male names.

We are talking here, first of all, about the selection of personal names by the samurai themselves, depending on the circumstances. Thus, they, as it were, recorded in memory and history the most important events of their lives. Therefore, in history there are so many rare and unusual names that belonged specifically to the samurai.

Most of the male names that are used in modern Japan also retained the same «si» and «ichi» particles that indicate the number sequence. But now they only mean the order in which sons appear in the family, for example, Kyuuichi (first-born, eldest son), Kenji (second son), etc.

Classification

All names given to boys in Japan can be divided into two groups for convenience (since division into groups by meaning or origin is physically impossible due to the abundance of variations of hieroglyphs): single-component and multi-component:

The first ones consist of a verb, so all the names in this group have an ending. For example, Mamoru means «protect, protector». The same group includes nominal forms, which consist of adjectives with the particle «si». For example, Hitoshi, which means «calm, balanced.» There are also names that are written using only one hieroglyph.

The second nominal forms usually consist of two or more hieroglyphs. They point to the masculine principle, i.e. usually denote a son, father, man, courageous, strong, warlike, etc. All names in this group have their own ending. A hieroglyph as part of this name can suggest how to read this or that multicomponent name correctly. There are also names consisting of three components at once. In such cases, only two of the three components indicate the masculine principle. For example, first son, youngest son, etc.

Conclusion

Asian and, in particular, Japanese naming traditions are fundamentally different from Western traditions. Here the names have a more complex form, spelling, reading, so many foreigners, even those who have lived in Japan for a long time, find it difficult to fully understand the features of choosing a name for a Japanese. But these traditions have their own beauty and sacredness that distinguish Japanese culture from all others.

Names of Latin origin. Latin names for men and women

Many Latin names are euphonious, perhaps that is why they have been so popular at all times.

Finnish male names

They don’t choose names, they are born and die with it.. — so humorously remarked one classic.

I have to bet. They choose names, how they choose! Now they are our parents, but in ancient times the name was not given at birth, no .. or a name, or rather a nickname, the child received if from birth he characterized himself with some bright feature, for example: Khitrulya, Sinister. Or, until puberty, the child did not have his own name, he was called by the name of his mother or father or tribe (later this turned into a surname). But already when the child turned into a boy or a girl, it was here that the whole tribe decided how to name this boy.
In ancient times, a variety of words were used as personal names, they were rather nicknames that gave their owners a certain characteristic or simply words “pleasant to the ear”, which, according to relatives, could bring good luck and prosperity: Onni (happiness), Aarvo ( value, wealth), Hyväri (good). They expressed their attitude towards the child: Ilo — Ilo (joy), Kaivattu (long-awaited), Toivo hope. Very often they were named after some animal, bird, fish, assuming that this creature would be the patron of the child: Susi (wolf), Karhu (bear), Orava (squirrel), Hirvi (moose). Sometimes the nickname betrayed the character or appearance of the child: Haukka (pike), Kettu (fox).
Evil names were also given in ancient Finland: Vihattu (Hateful), Huono (Bad). Do you think this is how bad children are characterized? Nooo! It was believed that a bad name would ward off bad spirits!

But, it was so in ancient times, when the Finnish people had not yet experienced the «cleansing cross of Christianity.» With the advent of Christians, eager to save the people perishing from paganism, everything changed in Finland. Ancient names began to be replaced by the names «Christian», «biblical» — that is, «correct». The replacement was hot, with arguments and even fights. If the Finns still somehow agreed to be baptized — let there be one more holy patron spirit, a plus to our other gods, they thought, then it was completely unusual with names. I didn’t want to give my child some dissonant and incomprehensible “Ezekiel”, instead of such a sweet Toivo (Hope) or Onni (happiness). And the priests, baptizing the kids, flatly refused to give the children pagan — read — «nasty» names, such as Air (Ilmari), Happiness (Onni). The case smelled of pagan rebellion …. And then…. the Finns got out, they began to give two or even three names. Or maybe this is how the priests got out, attracting the flock and agreeing to compromises. History is never recognized. The only fact left is that in all Catholic, Lutheran and Anglican churches it is customary to give several names. They say — to confuse the devil and evil sorcerers (so that they don’t know which name to click on trouble, because in the world one name is used, and not all three). And they also say — the more names, the more patron saints a person has, after whom he was named. In general, whatever one may say, from several names — only benefit!
So, as time went on, «Christian», that is, Hebrew, Latin and Greek biblical names gradually became more and more Finnish. Although, wait! First, in Finland, there was a «Swedishization» (sorry, but that’s how it is) of society. Christianization was carried out by the Swedes, having successfully baptized the flock, the Swedes began to preach their own culture. Remember, maybe from films or books those golden times of Sweden, when half of Europe was called “Swedish Ingria”, “Swedish Livonia”, “Swedish Finland”, — the Swedes lived well! Everything Swedish was considered the best, the language in which they wrote, issued decrees and studied was Swedish. The Finnish intelligentsia, bourgeoisie and aristocracy bore only Swedish names. This went on for Finland for a long hundred years, literally until 1860.

photo; Eg.ru.

However, after Finland gained autonomy (since 1860), as part of Russia, the situation turned exactly the opposite. Residents of the country began to change Swedish names and surnames to Finnish en masse. It has become fashionable to be Finn, not Swede! The situation became stronger after 1917, when Finland gained full independence. The well-known writer in Finland, Alexander Philander, became known as Santeri Alkio, and another writer and politician, Juhan Hellsten, became Juho Paasikivi. Anders massively became Antero or Antti, the owners of the name Johanes (Juhanus) now preferred Finnish options — Juho, Jussi, Yukka, Juha, Janne.

You have already realized that the name Johannes (biblical John) has received many varieties in Finland from Juho to Janne. Mikael became Mikko, Jaakob became Jaakko and Samuel became Sami, Samuli. More examples: Laurentius — Lauri, Henrik — Heikki, Magnus — Mauno, Andreas — Antti, Arthur — Artaud, Matteus — Matti.
Many of the names that came to Finnish through Swedish are still recognizable, because there are variants in other languages - English, German, Greek, Latin: Henrikki, Carlo, Pauli. Here is a wider list:

How to write a name in Latin

Latin, as you know, was the language of common European culture in previous centuries. She greatly influenced the Russian language and national consciousness. Here lies the reason that a significant part of the current Russian names are, in their origins, just Latin names.

Moreover, many personal names in Russian have even retained their original Latin form unchanged. Take at least the names «Victor» or «Marina». The Latin version, various versions in other languages, and translations of such names can be easily found on specialized Internet sites, for example, on the site “The Kurufin’s Castle” ( http://kurufin.narod.ru/index.html ).

Many Russian names are of Greek (Andrey), Hebrew (Ivan, Maria) Old Slavonic (Vladimir) origin. A considerable number of them have a Latin spelling that has already been established for centuries: Andreas, Joannes, Maria, Vladimirus.

Of course, there are a certain number of names, which, apparently, have never been translated into Latin. But it is precisely here that the creative task lies for those who bear these names and want to, so to speak, latinize them. This transformation can be done in several ways.

1. In the manner of the ancient Romans, the creators of classical Latin, and after them medieval scientists, you can simply add the endings “-us” / “-ius” / “-is” to male names (the endings of female names in Russian coincide with Latin): Glebus, Yurius, etc. But this is too straightforward a way that does not always give the name a pleasant and effective sound (however, this is a matter of taste).

2. Another way is to translate the word or words that make up or form your name, if it is not ancient Roman, into Latin. For example, the name «Svetlana» is derived from the adjective «bright, clear.» It turns out — Lucia or Clara, i.e. «Lucia» or «Clara», Roman names derived from Latin words with the same meaning.

3. Or let’s take a more difficult case — the same name «Vladimir» (translated from Slavonic — «owning/ruling the world»). Although it has a medieval version in Latin (see above), it can be translated into Latin according to the meaning (dictionaries from the Internet are enough), and then you get the two-syllable name Ermundus (from erus and mundus) or the double Regmundus (from rex and mundus ). Very loud and impressive, isn’t it?

4. It is also possible, following the custom of Ancient Rome, to choose a pseudonym or nickname by patronymic / by last name / by a real nickname, using the above methods.

Thus, it turns out that sometimes you do not need to invent anything, but simply find the necessary Latin analogue of a Russian name or translate your name. However, it can become a full-fledged creative activity. There are probably other ways to romanize your first name, last name, etc. But this, due to limited space, is left to the reader as, so to speak, homework.

Correspondence table of Polish and Russian names in the 19th century

At the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, after the third partition of Poland, most of the territory of Ukraine, formerly belonging to the Commonwealth, became part of the Russian Empire. Russian became the main language of documentation, although in the first third of the 19th century, many Catholic metrics and documents of the nobility were still kept in Polish or Latin.

During this transitional period, documents (revision tales of the 1790s, noble deeds) were often accompanied by a translation into Russian. Apparently, there were no generally accepted rules for transliterating names, so each translator translated them according to his own understanding.

First variant (quite rare) — full transliteration of the name without taking into account the sound in Polish. Example: Małgorzata = Malgorzata, Piotr = Piotr.

Second variant — Russian transcription of sound in Polish. Example: Małgorzata = Małgorzata, Piotr = Piotr, Tomasz = Tomasz, Jan = Jan.

Option three — translation of the name, and sometimes the surname into Russian. Example: Tomasz = Thomas, Jan = Ivan, Strzelbicki = Strelbitsky

All three variants could freely occur even within the same document, which complicates the identification of a person for researchers of their pedigree. Also, sometimes in Polish documents (especially in Greek Catholic confession sheets) there is a transliteration of Ukrainian names in Latin, for example: Semen, Pałaszka, Odarka, which introduces additional confusion.

I wrote down the most common correspondences (translations of names) from revision tales, translations of noble documents, Polish and Russian metrics. The table does not contain names that have the same (or very close) sound in the Polish and Russian versions, for example: Anthony, Vladislav, Felician, or Teressa = Teresa, Zakhariash = Zachary — they can be understood in this way. Mostly male names are given, their female versions will have a similar translation.

Each name had its own meaning, in Scandinavia during the Viking Age children were called in their native language and everyone understood what each name meant in meaning and what one could expect from this or that person.

It is quite possible that many peoples of the world originally came up with names for their children in this simple way, calling them natural names in honor of the surrounding nature, give the children a name-characteristic (strong, smart, fast, calm), giving the child certain properties that parents would like to see in him (reasonable, wise), giving him a direction in life: a warrior, a defender, a farmer. Each name in the language of a certain people sounds incomprehensible to another people who speak a completely different language. But each name has its own meaning.

The names of the Vikings and their meaning

Names could influence the life and fate of a person, the idea of him that was formed by others.

By the way, what is interesting is not always the name given by the parents at birth to the child was assigned to him for life. Often, due to certain qualities of a person, they began to call him differently, adding a nickname to the name or completely replacing the name given at birth with another one more suitable for him. Also, over time, he could have a nickname, for example, Harald Blue-toothed (where Blue-toothed was a nickname). By the way, Bluetooth technology was named after King Harald Bluetooth.

Old Norse names in some cases were the same for both women and men, besides, they were spelled the same, unlike modern names (for example, female Eugenia and male Eugene, female Alexandra and male Alexander), but among the Vikings it was like this: Torleif — this name could be called both a boy and a girl. But there were also various names, separately only for men, and separately for women.

Names of warriors and warriors of the Vikings

Often, parents gave a name to a newborn that would embody the qualities that they would like to see when the child grows up and matures. For example, male names for boys who were supposed to become protectors of the family, clan and community. By the way, this custom is still followed today, when parents, before giving a child a name, choose a name that is suitable for its meaning. Also, our parents often call that name, exactly according to the child’s birthday and call him the name of the saint whom the church honors on this day (Angel or Saint’s day).

And what was the protection for the Viking, and for any warrior? First of all, of course, this is his weapon and personal protective equipment, so the names could also mean weapons.

Eiríkr — Eirik (very mighty and strong),

The time in the Viking Age in the Scandinavian countries was not easy, almost every man became, whether he wanted it or not, a real warrior in order to protect his family, his family, clan, community from encroachers on their native lands of strangers. There were few fertile lands in Norway, and everyone needed it, so conflicts and wars periodically arose between the clans. Each boy from an early age learned the military craft in order to be able to protect himself and his loved ones, his land, therefore the names of the boys (and the girls too, because some of them could become excellent warriors) were often given names that would characterize him as a glorious warrior. In addition, by conducting raids, the Vikings enriched themselves, brought slaves and gold from the raid to the family, after several raids, you can become a merchant and significantly improve the state of affairs of the whole family, because money was needed at all times, and silver Arab coins of dirhams were found in Scandinavia quite a bit of. Therefore, the war was not only defensive. In addition, at all times men have been associated with protection, weapons. The man is a warrior! The militant character and fighting spirit for the boy, and then for the man, were not negative characteristics at that difficult time.

Nicknames of the Vikings

Not always the name given to a child at birth remained with him for life. Very often, the Vikings received more appropriate names and nicknames that were more appropriate for them already in their adulthood. Such nicknames could complement the name, or could completely replace it. Nicknames in adulthood could be given to a Viking in accordance with his character, his occupation, his appearance (by hair or eyes they could give a name at the birth of a child as well), according to his social status and even origin.

Names-nicknames that could be given by parents at birth or by acquaintances, friends or fellow tribesmen already in adulthood: Frodi (wise, scholar),

Höskuldr — Hoskuld (gray-haired),

Rauðr — Raud (red),

Erna — Erna (skillful),

Gestr — Gest (guest),

Glum — Glum (dark-eyed) ,

Sveinn — Svein (boy, guy, boy, servant),

Viking names in honor of the gods

gods for their heroism and stamina, thanks to the strength of the physical and spiritual. The Vikings, the ancient Scandinavians took the gods as an example and wanted to be like them, just as brave, strong, beautiful, therefore the names were often associated with the gods, with the names of the main gods. Children in the Viking Age, in those distant pagan times, were called names that were associated with one or another god, thereby entrusting him with the fate of their child.

In Iceland, and in the Scandinavian countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden), most often their children were dedicated to the god Thor. But they also dedicated to other great gods, for example, Freyr. Children could also be dedicated to all the gods in general. For example, Ragn in translation meant power, gods. Vé — the meaning in translation was as follows: pagan sanctuary, sacred. Both male and female names were formed from these words.

Female and male names in honor of the gods:

Inga — Inga,

Heimdallr — in honor of the god Heimdallr

Freydís — Freydis (disa Freyr or Freya),

Ingvör (Yngvör) — Yngvör (Keeping Yngvi),

Torova — Torah (female name, in honor of Thor),
— Thorleif (Thor’s heiress, left by Thor),

Þórunn — Thorunn (Thor’s favorite),

Ragn (h) eiðr — Ragneid (female name, meaning: honor of the gods),

Véfríðr — Vefrid (female name: sacred protection ).

Þorvör — Torvör (who knows (strength) Torah).

Ingi — Ingi,

Ingimundr — Ingimund (hand of Yngwie),

Freysteinn — Freystein (Freyr’s stone),

Ingolfr — Ingolfr (wolf Yngvi),

Torov — male honor ),

Þorbrandr — Thorbrand (Thor’s sword),

Þorbjörn — Thorbjörn (Thor’s bear),

Þorkell — Torkel (Thor’s helmet),

Þorleifr — Thorleif (Thor’s heir, Thor’s left Ragnar029),

(male name, meaning: army of the gods),
Þorsteinn — Torstein (Thor’s stone),

Name in honor of glorious ancestors

There were also generic names, one might say, the predecessors of surnames. Children often received names in honor of their deceased ancestors, whose spirit was reborn in a new member of their own kind, with this name the child entered the world of his kind, his family, his clan and tribe. The Scandinavians believed in the transmigration of souls, but this could only happen within one clan, among blood relatives and descendants. The name was given only to those relatives who had already died, otherwise you could bring trouble. Naming a child after an existing, living relative was strictly forbidden, and even now it is a very bad omen: it is believed that someone with the same name can have a very short life for this reason.

Viking surnames in ancient times were in honor of the father with the prefix -son- for the son and -dottir- for the daughter. For example, the surname was formed like this for the girl Una, the daughter of Ragnar: Una Ragnardottir. Thorleif the son of Ragnar received the surname Ragnarson: Thorleif Ragnarson. By the way, this tradition of naming in honor of the father of the child is preserved in Iceland.

25 Latin baby boy names that look classic but fresh

Balm! Latin baby names can conjure up images of Ancient Rome. They might even make you wonder about the Roman gods and goddesses and their mystical machinations. But most baby names used in the Western world are of Latin origin. Popular nicknames such as Lucas, Oliver, and Max have Latin roots. This is not surprising since Latin is the basis of the Romance languages, which are among the most widely spoken in the world.

We now venture to suggest that you are not looking for a Latin name such as Amadeus or Hadrian for your son. These names seem excessive and outdated.

Here are 25 Latin baby names for boys that prove that Latin names are evergreen.

Latin Baby Names You Will Love For Life

There are many stages to go through when you become a mother or father. Some of them include discovering that you’re looking forward to adding to your family, changing your eating habits, and changing your daily activities to get rid of things that could be potentially harmful to the little prince or princess growing inside of you.

Other things, like the ones I listed above, are making your home child friendly, planning how you and your partner are going to raise your future son or daughter, and what important life lessons you want to teach him or her in the years to come. .

Another change that has been made during this time is how much time you and the baby’s father spend thinking about the baby. Suddenly, they stop worrying only about themselves, what they are going to do after work, what they plan to do on the weekends, etc. Now there is a whole new person to think about.

Expectant mothers usually become interested in everything they eat and drink. They think about whether what they are going to eat is good for the little boy or girl they are about to have.

In addition to all these tremendous changes that take place when a woman is pregnant, it is common for mothers and fathers-to-be to wonder who their child will be when we or she is born. Also, until they find out the sex of the baby during the prenatal appointment (or birth if they decide to wait), they wonder if they should come up with a boy name or a girl name. In that case, here are a few Latin names you’ll love. for life.

15 Anthony

When it comes to names of Latin origin, there is no shortage of choice when naming a little girl or boy. Some of them are quite well known, while others have not yet become so popular.

However, since we’re on the topic of names that most of us know, let’s talk about this great boy name. Anthony is a great Latin name with experience in many parts of the world.

In particular, behind this name stands the history of America, England, Greece and Latin America. The Latin meaning of the name is “highly commendable. ” In addition, it is a form of the name Anthony, which was the surname of Mark Antony. History knows Mark Antony as a Roman commander who ruled the land of Ancient Egypt with Queen Cleopatra. Thus, this name is not only easy to pronounce, but also has an interesting history.

14 Arabella

Perhaps one of the biggest decision-makers when choosing a name for your child is how unique or not it is. However, sometimes parents choose a common name and come up with it.

The Latin name Arabella usually falls into this category. It is related to the very popular name Isabella and is most often used for naming little girls. The original Latin meaning of this name is similar to «prayer».

This name has many different spellings. Some of them include Macaw, Arabel, Arabel, Bella and Bell. Others are Arabel, Arabela and Orabella.

In terms of popularity, this name has been going uphill since 2000. If you want to give your little girl a Latin name that sounds beautiful and is very unique from the rest, this is definitely an option worth considering.

13 Atticus

Sometimes when men and women think about naming their future little children, they consider naming them after people they know and people who have had a huge impact on their lives. Other times they prefer to call their boys and girls more original, such as a combination of different names or words.

However, some parents tend to use fictional characters when naming their child. Sometimes we like certain movie, television, and book characters (or just their names) so much that we prefer to call our children by their names.

Atticus falls into this category. Not only is this name of Latin origin, but it is also an important part of the history of the world of fiction.

Atticus Finch is a famous character from Harper Lee’s book To Kill a Mockingbird. This name is also shared by the character Atticus Shane from the television series The Vampire Diaries.

12 Bennett

Some names just automatically give you a certain image of the person before you even meet him or her. Because of this, it’s natural to want to give your child a name that sounds noble, smart, and other additional things.

Many of the names I have mentioned in this list are good for these reasons. The next one I am going to discuss is no exception to this situation.

Bennett is another great Latin name. The coolest thing about this is that although this name is mainly for little boys, you can also give it to a girl.

In its original Latin form, this means «blessed» and «little blessed». So if you and your spouse would like to give your child a slightly spiritual name with a Latin origin, you absolutely can’t go wrong with Bennett.

11 Bianca

The last few names I discussed sound a bit classic and are a great choice for those who would like to give their children Latin names. Now what I am going to talk about is a newer name, which fits in pretty well with current naming trends because it has a very modern flavor.

Bianca is a pretty cool Latin name for little girls. It’s not something you hear every day and it’s not like anything else.

However, although this is a very unique name, it comes from another name that has been around for quite some time. Bianca is similar to Blanca, which is also a pretty cool name in my opinion.

Both of these names are derived from Blanche. Blanche was a royal name in France, then it was brought to England.

10 Flame

So far, the names on this list are fairly common. Some are more common than others, but we still hear them occasionally.

However, sometimes we just hear some weird, weird names that we remember. Sometimes it makes us think, «Wow, that would be great for my baby.»

Blaze is one of those names. This is a Latin name that made the list of the most popular baby names in 1990. Although it was not very popular, it reached its peak last year.

Although it is primarily a name for boys, it can also be used for little girls. The name means «stuttering» in Latin. Also, in case you haven’t already guessed, it is related to flames.

There are some pretty interesting spellings of this name, some of which include Blaize, Blasien, and Blaise. Others include Blasius, Blaze, and Biagio, as well as Biagio.

9 Carla

Some names are mainly for girls. Others are aimed at boys. Then there are the cool ones that are in between and are suitable for both girls and boys.

In addition to these names, there are also names that evolve over time from older names that were originally intended for children of the opposite sex. The name I’m about to talk about would definitely be a good choice for your little girl, and it’s a Latin name that falls into the latter category.

Carla is a very famous Latin name for little girls. But here’s an interesting fact that I bet some of you didn’t know before: it comes from a predominantly masculine name, Carl. In Latin, the word means «man» and «strong.» Carla is currently ranked 436 ^— in the list of the most commonly used baby names.

8 Campbell

Many of the most popular names have become so beloved because they have stood the test of time. I mean, most of what we have to choose from when naming our babies are the same names as a few years ago, for example, Elizabeth, Sarah, etc.

The next name I’m going to discuss has definitely been around for a long time. In fact, it served as both a surname and a popular name for some time.

Campbell is one of those names that has not only been on the popularity charts for many years, but has also been used for little girls and boys because it works well for both genders. Although in Latin this word is meant mainly for small children male.

Although this is a Latin name, it has another origin. Campbell is Latin for «beautiful field.» In its Scottish form, it means «crooked mouth.»

7 Carmen

In this list, I have discussed the origin and history of some of the most beautiful Latin names. However, some of them have more than one backstory as they are widely known throughout the world.

The next name I’m going to talk about is no different. In addition, it not only sounds good, but also has a spiritual connection.

Carmen, although she has a history with other cultures, is a beautiful Latin name that is mainly used for little girls. It has risen steadily on the popularity charts since the 1800s, and so far there is no sign that it will become less popular.

Carmen was originally the Spanish form of carmel and was influenced by the Latin word carmen, which means song. The spiritual connection of this name is connected with the Virgin Mary because she is often referred to as “Saint Mary of Mount Carmel.”

6 Damon

Some of the names on this list don’t have a long history, if at all, but they still sound cool and make great ideas for baby names. Others have rich histories, so the likelihood of choosing each of them increases when we choose name options for our future children.

The name Damon is not very common but sounds like a great name. In addition, it is easy to write and easy to pronounce.

In its original Latin form, the name is said to mean something like «spirit» or «demon.» However, don’t let that stop you from giving this name to your child.

It has better meaning in other cultures. In fact, this name is also of Greek origin. In Greek, it means «permanent» and also «faithful.» This name is also associated with Hollywood due to actor Matt Damon.

5 Diana

As I said in the previous paragraph, some of the most popular names are those that have been around for many years. These are names that began to make themselves felt centuries ago and still remain strong.

One of these names is Diana. It’s a name that many of us have heard throughout our lives, whether it’s the name of a friend, family member, or famous person.

While this name, like some of the others on this list, doesn’t actually sound Latin, it certainly has a Latin history. The Roman goddess was called Diana and was associated with the hunt, the moon, and virginity. This name is also known from the late Princess Diana.

This goddess was known as the protector of wild animals and was often depicted as a very beautiful creature. Another Latin name you will love for a lifetime!

4 Dominik

Earlier, I discussed the name Diana and how it is a timeless, classic name for girls. However, the next name I am going to discuss is the name with the same popularity, which is mainly chosen for boys. With that said, you might want to consider this for your little girl as well.

Although this name is of Latin origin, it is also well known in other parts of the world. The name Dominic is associated with Austria, France, Germany and Ireland. It is also known in Switzerland, Great Britain, the United States of America and the Seychelles.

In the Latin form, this name means «Lord» and also «belonging to God». Dominic is a great choice if you want to give your little boy a Latin name.

3 Elyse

Some names stand out on this list. They are complete and original, while others are creative spin-offs of other names we know and love.

The name I’m going to talk about is no different. It comes from a very popular name that we have all heard over the years.

The name Alice comes from another very commonly used name — Elizabeth. However, even though its predecessor has many antecedents, the name has a very Latin history.

Elyse has a Latin and Hebrew history, and it is related to the oath. The original meaning of the name is similar to «God is my oath.»
