Young mothers expecting their baby take a very long time to choose a name for him. Many are guided fashion trends, calling the child a beautiful-sounding name that is not on the list of the Orthodox church calendar. Because of this, at baptism the child is given a different name. In this article we will tell you how to name a boy or girl according to the church calendar so that his destiny is happy and successful.

Immediately after baptism Kievan Rus All Orthodox people they were baptized on the eighth day after the birth of the babies according to the same rite (in our time this is usually done on the 40th day after physical birth). On this day, children were given the names of martyrs of the Orthodox Church. People believed that in this way children would be protected by the patron saint from grief and misfortune.

The clergy who performed the baptism ceremony wrote down every day the name of the saint that they had already assigned to the child.

But in ancient times, our ancestors celebrated not the day of physical birth, but the day of “baptism” or name day (the day of veneration of the saint in whose honor the baby was named). Sometimes children were named not by the name of the saint on whose name day they were born, but in honor of other canonized great martyrs, whose name days fell on the next three days after the physical birth of the baby.

If your baby is born December 13, name him Andrey in honor of St. Andrew the First-Called, and if 19 - then Nicholas, since on this day the Orthodox worship the wonderworker Nicholas.

At the end of this article, I would like to note that in fact, a name should be given to a child with soul and heart. Any mother, as soon as she sees her baby for the first time, will immediately, without a doubt, give him a name that will bring only happiness and joy into his life.

Video: “How to choose a name for a child according to the church calendar?”

Does a name affect a person's life? This is a question many parents ask themselves when naming their baby. If you give him the name of a martyr, he will suffer all his life; if you give him the name of a monk, God forbid, he will become a monk. Maybe give the name of a king, commander, thinker?

And every time the priests patiently explain: the name given to the child does not affect a person’s life in any way. And many common names - this is easy to see by opening the calendar - were borne simultaneously by kings, monks, and martyrs.

Here's an example: John.
The name is Hebrew, which translated means Grace of God.
There are 188 Saints in the modern church calendar.
Here are the Apostle of Christ John the Theologian, and the poet-hymn-writer and theologian John of Damascus.
And one of the founding fathers of the harsh monastic feat, John Climacus, abbot of the monastery on Mount Sinai.
John Vlasaty - a holy fool for Christ's sake, who labored in Rostov.
John of Damascus is a hermit who left the city and shut himself up in a cave.
John of Kronstadt is a great Russian pastor and public figure.
John of Palestine is an outstanding faster.
John of Constantinople - Patriarch and outstanding personality of its time.
John the Baptist, the first of the martyrs, and behind him many more martyrs of John, who suffered both in ancient times and in modern Soviet times.
We see the same thing with other famous names.
The conclusion is obvious: the name of the saint in no way affects the fate of the child.

What was the name of a child in pre-Christian times?

In the Bible, the name was not at all random symbol; the name determined the place that its bearer should occupy in the world. God completes creation by giving names to its elements: day, night, sky, earth, sea, calling each luminary by its name, and thereby determines the location in the universe of these elements of the universe. Or, God allows Adam to name all the animals and thereby determine their place and role in Adam’s world.

It’s the same with a person: initially, the name given to a child at birth signified his fate or future occupation. This is easy to see by remembering the names of the ancient Old Testament heroes: Jacob means taking the place of another; Naval is a madman and so on. Sometimes the name indicated the peculiarity of birth: Moses - taken out of the water, sometimes - the destiny of man: Isaiah - may God save. The name was considered to be an imprint of a person’s personality!
IN Ancient Rus' the child was given popular name. The Russians were not as inventive as the Greeks or Romans. Often the baby was given a name derived from the number of children in the family - Perva, Pervaya, Pervak, Vtorak, Chetvertunya; from the color of his hair and skin - Chernysh, Chernyai, Belyai, Belukha. Names were also invented in other ways external signs- height, body features - Dry, Tolstoy, Long, Small, Baby, Maloy, Malyuta, Hare, Bespaloy, Golovach, etc.

Often, a child was named depending on some noticeable trait of his character (Zabava, Krik, Istoma, Molchan, Neublya, Smeyana, Nesmeyana) or the attitude towards him in the family (Goluba, Lyubim, Nezhdan, Chayan, Milava, Pospel, Khoten).
Names consecrated

With the emergence of Christianity, the situation began to change, but not immediately. Until about the 3rd century, all those receiving Baptism left the names with which their pagan parents gave them. Many names, even such as Faith, Hope, Love, are pagan names: Roman, Greek or Jewish.

Names could indicate virtues, some kind of occupation, character traits, and much, much more. For example, the name Roman, Victor (in Latin, winner) for the virtue of valor. The parents wanted their child to be like ancient heroes and gods; they wanted to attract the blessings of the unknown to the child through the name higher powers- came from the name of the city of Rome; Name
However, with the spread of Christianity, other principles of naming are born. Already in the 3rd century it became customary to give a child the name of an ascetic of the Christian faith. This saint, Christians thought, would become a friend to our son or daughter, and would pray for him in heaven, before the throne of the Heavenly Father.

To receive your name, and the consecrated name that was borne by an ascetic of the Church before you, means to enter into a mysterious connection both with Christ - the Absolute Person, and with the personality of a previously living ascetic of the Christian faith.

Modern theologian Father Alexander Schmemann writes:

“Human nature does not exist outside of individuals, each of which represents a truly unique and completely personal type of embodiment and realization of this nature. Therefore, the rite of naming is the recognition by the Church of the uniqueness of this particular child, the presence of the divine gift of “personality”. A person’s name, distinguishing him from all other people, identifies his personality and affirms his uniqueness. The incarnate Son of God has human name, because He is a perfect personality, and not a person in general, an abstract and impersonal bearer of abstract human nature.”
People leading genuine Christian life, often say that they feel a connection with the person whose name they bear, with their saint heavenly patron.
The day on which the memory of our saint is celebrated in the church is called name day, or the day of the Angel.

Saint John Chrysostom persistently taught the parishioners:

“Christians should try in every possible way to give children names that would not only arouse those who receive these names to virtue, but also serve as an instruction in all wisdom for all others and for subsequent generations.”
Most often, Christians named their children after the Apostles of Christ, so that in the 5th century, as today, most of them were Ioannov, Petrov, and Pavlov.

How to correctly name an Orthodox child

Nowadays it is customary to give a child the name of a glorified saint, and a saint of the Orthodox Church. However, if parents persistently want to name the baby some extravagant name or a non-Orthodox name, this is possible. In this case, according to the passport, the person will have the name Olesya, Alena, Ruslan, Sanchez, etc., but at Baptism he will be given the name of the saint.
Some saints have two names - the name they had before Baptism, and the Christian name. Prince of Kyiv In Epiphany, Vladimir received the name Vasily, Olga - Elena. In honor of these saints, either of their two names can be given.

Today, children are named after their beloved grandmother or grandfather, the name of a book character, or simply something they like that is sonorous and beautiful name. There is nothing wrong with this, but you can remember another one, ancient tradition: the baby was given the name of the saint whose memory fell on the day the name was given (8th day after birth).

I will repeat once again what some priests sometimes don’t know: if we want to name a child according to the church, or, as they say, according to the calendar, then it will be the name of a saint, whose memory is celebrated on the 8th day after the child’s birth .
You can give a name, as is common today, in honor of the saint on whose memorial day the baby was born. They say: “my girl was born on the day of St. Xenia of St. Petersburg. Can I call her anything else? There is some logic in these words, but this is already modern practice, not church tradition.
Since ancient times it has been established that those who are baptized cannot accept the Names of the Lord Jesus Christ and His Most Pure Mother - Mary. You can take the name Jesus in honor of the Old Testament saint Joshua, and the name Mary in honor of the saint Marys, of which there are many.

When choosing a name for your child, you should remember that this name is for life, so you should not try to stand out when naming the baby. Names such as Aristoclius or Anempodistus are certainly beautiful and original, but don’t they oblige too much? Make sure that the name is pronounced evenly and easily, and does not cause funny or ambiguous associations (the author knows of such an anecdotal, but, unfortunately, real example, when parents who bore the surname “Fools” gave their daughter a name.).

At the same time, we note that in recent decades the choice of name for children has been limited to a dozen or two names. Among them - necessarily: Natalya, Tatiana, Maria, Ekaterina, Elena, etc. (you can even identify a certain fashion in names).

Parents forget that there are a lot of interesting and wonderful names that are almost never used today. And these names are no less euphonious or interesting than those popular today, and their bearers, the saints, in their Christian deeds are no less famous than those whose names are well known.

To show how, unfortunately, we know little about our names, we will give examples of male and female names that are rarely or not found at all in practice. From an extensive list, I selected only a small part of the euphonious and ancient names and indicated that given name means in the language of the people in whose midst it appeared.

Every Orthodox Christian bears the name of a saint who becomes his heavenly patron and intercessor. This Orthodox calendar lists the most common names of saints glorified by the Church and indicates the days of their memory according to the new style.

If a person was baptized in childhood and grew up in an Orthodox environment, then from childhood he knows in honor of which saint he was named. But it also happens that people who were baptized in childhood lived their conscious lives outside the Church and do not even know what saint they were named after. In addition, saints with the same name appear in the church calendar (calendars, monthly calendar) more than once. Thus, there are about thirty saints with the name Alexander, and more than eighty with the name John; In addition, one saint may have several days of remembrance.

The following practice has developed in the Church: if in the Orthodox calendar there are several days of remembrance of saints with the same name as you (namesake - same name, with the same name), then of these days your Angel Day will be the day coinciding with your birthday or the closest after your day births ahead according to the calendar.

The saint whose memory is celebrated on this day will be your heavenly patron.
If several days of remembrance are celebrated for your saint during the year, then on the nearest day after your birthday this is your name day, while the remaining days of his memory are called small name days.

The words of St. Theophan the Recluse can be fully applied to our time: “We began to choose names not according to God.” The saint explains: “In God’s way, this is how it should be. Choose a name according to the calendar: either on what day the child will be born, or on what day he will be baptized, or in between, or three days after baptism. Here the matter will be without any human considerations, but as God wills: for birthdays are in the hands of God.”

By giving a child to the parents and setting the day of his birth, the Lord thereby indicates his name. Determine God's will we can according to the Orthodox calendar - a monthly calendar, which includes the names of saints glorified by the Church.

Everyone knows that a child is given a name at Baptism. Moreover, this is done not by choice or desire of the parents, but in honor of some saint, usually one or the other, whose memory (which) is celebrated on this day by the Church. The name is chosen in accordance with the so-called calendar- the church calendar, which indicates the memory of which saint the day is dedicated to.

The church naming book is completed deep meaning, which, however, was known to everyone in Rus' - from a simple peasant to a monarch. Each day is dedicated to the memory of certain saints, a holiday or miraculous icon. And it is not a name that is given to a person as an external sign, but the person is “given” a name, is included, as it were, in the “squad” of this or that martyr or ascetic. It is important on what day, under whose name you were born and you were baptized: Baptism, the baptismal name determines fate and character.

It should be taken into account that in Orthodox calendar included Hebrew, Greek, Roman names, which in these languages may have a positive meaning, but for the Russian ear they are dissonant or cause unpleasant associations.

Christian names appeared in Rus' even before the adoption of Christianity - they were brought by the Varangians. With the adoption of Christianity, new calendar names came to Rus' from Byzantium, Bulgaria, the countries of the West and the Middle East (Anisim, Fedor, Anna, Maria, Elizabeth). At Baptism, a person was given a second, calendar name, which could have ancient Greek, Latin, Hebrew, Aramaic, ancient Persian or ancient Egyptian roots.

For a Russian person, a foreign name was incomprehensible and was used only in documents; it was not used in everyday life.
Names in the calendar are often repeated, since the most popular of them (for example, Alexander, Andrey, Vladimir, Vasily) were widely used to name people, and many rarely used ones were excluded from the lists.

It is important on what day the child was born and under whose name he was baptized: It is Baptism, the baptismal name, that determines fate and character. Therefore, you should choose the right name for your child at Baptism. The child must receive the protection of a guardian angel.

The saint after whom the child is named is considered the “patron” of his namesake. Therefore, the believer does not celebrate his birthday, but the day of the Angel, that is, the day of the saint after whom he is named. “Name days” are in no way connected with a birthday, as some believe, it is the day of Epiphany.
