The name given to a person at birth affects his character and life. According to esotericists, the name contains a certain energy that can both help its carrier and create problems.

In ancient times, people tried to give the newborn a name that would protect him and became an assistant for life. For example, in the tribes of the Indians, it was customary to give "talking" names.

If the boy was called Quick Fox, then he should definitely become agile, hardy and fast. What kind of energy do modern names carry, and how do they affect people?

How does it affect character?

The meaning and energy of a name can be influenced by many factors: its sound, pronunciation, associations, and even numerical vibrations. When communicating with people, you might have noticed that many of your acquaintances who have the same name are somewhat similar.

For example, all Katyas are harmful, Serezhas are stingy, Sashas are kind. Such observations lead to the idea that the name really to some extent determines the character of a person and gives him special personality traits.

There is an opinion that the sound of the name determines the character person and the attitude of the people around him. For example, if the name is sonorous, pleasant in pronunciation, then the character of the person is good-natured and simple. In the event that the name is associated with something rude and cuts the ear, then the person is most likely to have a complex character.

The energy of the name is influenced by the sounds of which it consists. Some sounds are repulsive from a person or forced to treat him in a special way. And some, on the contrary, attract only positive events to their carrier and endow him with the sympathy of the people around him.

The sound of a name

• "r" sound in the name symbolizes seriousness and even some aggression. Ekaterina, Marina, Karina, Sergey, Peter are names whose carriers, as a rule, have business acumen, know how to stand up for themselves and have a strong character.
• Sounds "la" "le" and "li" soften a person's character. Elena, Alya, Angelina, Valentin - these names endow people with an easy character, a certain naivety, tenderness and kindness.
• Sounds "zh" and "z" found in the names of people who are used to being the center of attention. They are active, purposeful and know what they want from life. These are the names Zhanna, Zhora, Zinaida, Zarina, Zoya.
• Sounds "s", "u", "sh" characterize the bearer of the name as a person closed, mysterious and calm. These are the names Svetlana, Shamil, Charlotte.
• Frequently occurring letter "a" in the name endows a person with leadership qualities and a talent for managing people. Such people are open and sociable. For example, Alexander or Alevtina.

It is good when the sound of the name is combined with the surname. If certain sounds predominate in the surname and name, then their impact is enhanced.

In numerology

You can also recognize a character by name using numbers. For numerological calculation, it is necessary to match the letters of the name with the numbers. Each letter has its own number: A - 1, B - 2, C - 3, D - 4, etc. Write your name on a piece of paper and match each letter with a number. Then put them together.

With this number you can find out what character your name gives you.

• Number 1- pressure, aggression, perseverance and an unquenchable thirst to achieve their goals. A person with such a name has a complex character. He doesn't like to hear "no" and always gets his way.
• Number 2- not a very favorable name number. It means the duality of nature, duplicity and deceit. On the other hand, a person can be uncertain about life or lead a double life. Sometimes this is a positive quality - he tries himself in different areas, he has many hobbies and hobbies.
• Number 3- personifies the unity of the past, present and future. A person with this name, as a rule, honors elders and family traditions. He respects the opinions of others and tries to live correctly.
• Number 4- a symbol of balance and harmony. Such a name endows its bearer with a calm and balanced character, the ability to think rationally and creative talents.
• Number 6- stability and reliability. Such a person has a strong character. The bearer of the name will never turn off the intended path, and will always follow his principles and beliefs.
• Number 7- non-standard thinking, sometimes isolation and mystery. A person is endowed with many talents and a well-developed intuition.
• Number 8- a person tends to achieve material wealth. Career and money are important to him. Good business qualities, analytical skills and communication skills help him achieve career heights.
• Number 9- vanity, the desire to stand out and be ahead of everyone. A person with this name loves attention to himself. This is an egoist who cares only for his own well-being.

By value

The character of a person may also depend on what does his name mean. For example, most names have their own interpretation. That is what determines the personality traits.

For example, the name Svetlana means "bright". Such a name makes a person kind, honest and merciful. The name Peter means "stone". Men with this name, as a rule, are endowed with a strong character and willpower. Anton, whose name by meaning carries the energy of struggle and confrontation, has the character of a fighter.

Thus, some names endow a person with gentleness and calmness, others with aggression and willpower.

How does it affect fate

When giving a child a name at birth, parents, first of all, want it to be brought him luck and was a reflection of his personality. Name and destiny are inextricably linked with each other. In addition, the name can be associated not only with the future, but also with the past.

If you recall the popular names in Russia after the revolution of 17, you can see that many parents named their children in honor of the events or famous political figures - Oktyabrina (in honor of the October Revolution), Vladlen (Vladimir Lenin), Gertrude (hero of labor). Of course, such names leave their mark on the life and fate of a person, but they carry more information about the past.

Believers choose a name for the child according to the church calendar. The kid receives the name of the saint, who becomes his Guardian Angel. For Orthodox Christians, such a criterion for choosing a name has its basis - after all, the Angel will help and protect the child throughout his life.

The name strengthens its influence after baptism. The child is given a second name - the same as that of his saint or similar in sound.

Some families have a tradition name children after one of the family members. For example, a child may be given the name of their father or deceased grandfather. For example, in order to preserve the memory of the grandfather, who throughout his life led a decent life and achieved success in his field, parents name the baby after him.

This choice has its pros and cons. On the one hand, a person who bears the name of his relative receives strong generic energy protection. From childhood, he will form a model of reliable and strong family relationships.

On the other hand, a person can get with this name also the fate of the one after whom he was named. Even if a family member lived a good and decent life, his influence on the bearer of this name can be negative. Everyone has their own destiny, and you should not share it with anyone.

Also, a person bearing the name of a relative, relatives always make increased demands. He will have to constantly adapt to the opinion of his parents, who expect the same achievements from him as from the deceased family member, in whose honor he received the name.

It's believed that best name for a child, this is the one that arose in his parents unconsciously. For example, a father or mother who sees a baby for the first time can immediately say the name that suddenly came to their mind.

Also, the name will bring good luck if it reflects the nationality and historical roots of the person. In this case, a person will be protected by his native land, and he will feel a community with his nation.

They say that name change changes destiny. Is it true? Most likely, in this way it is possible to significantly correct the life path and get rid of the negative influence of the old name.

A case from one's life.

A married couple lived in a neighboring house on our street. Elena and Alexander were friendly, affable, sympathetic young people. Everything went well with them, everything was wonderful except for one thing - the Lord did not give them children for a long time. For two years in a row, Elena went every Sunday to the service at the Florovsky Monastery on Podil and prayed before the icon of the Mother of God “Satisfy my sorrows” in the hope of a miracle. And a miracle happened! The Mother of God quenched the sadness of the young woman by sending the long-awaited baby. There was no limit to the joy of the spouses and all relatives. However, this joy was soon overshadowed by completely stupid disputes that arose among relatives.
As soon as Lena found out that she would become a mother, she announced that she would name her son in honor of her deceased father, in whom she doted. Vasily Alexandrovich, Elena's father, was the favorite of our entire small street, where everyone knew each other. The kindest man, a master of all trades, when he died, many were very sorry. And it was completely understandable that the daughter wanted to name her son in his memory. But it was not there! The aunt, the father's sister, opposed this most strongly of all. What Lena didn’t hear from her: and you can’t name a baby in honor of a deceased person - it will be unhappy, he will repeat his fate; the fact that his patronymic will be the same as that of the deceased - so this is generally unacceptable! And even better - give the child two different names: one according to the passport and completely different - at baptism. And in general, you only need to choose some beautiful and happy name. In general, all kinds of superstitious fabrications that plunged the expectant mother into despair. And to top it all, the aunt also promised that if Lena did not listen to her and act in her own way, then she would not even appear at the christening. Lena had to be reassured, and our parish priest had to carry out explanatory work with her aunt.
***
This case is no exception at all. Rather, the opposite. Conversations and thoughts about the name of the child begin in many families long before his appearance. And I must say that quite a lot of superstitions are connected with the tradition of naming. And the very first of them is that the name is able to determine the fate of a person, influence it and form a character. Therefore, it is undesirable to give children the names of deceased relatives, the names of people with unfortunate destinies, and even the names of saints who suffered a heavy martyr's death.

Where did these misconceptions come from?

It is possible that some of these prejudices have been preserved since pre-Christian times. And this is connected, as a rule, with pagan ideas about fate as inevitable fate and with the cult of ancestors, suggesting some kind of posthumous mystical connection between relatives of the same tribe.
There is a whole science of anthroponymy that studies the origin of names and the information contained in them. However, this science has nothing in common with all sorts of pseudo-scientific theories that exist today and with the widespread literature on names, which is very popular among the population. One part of these theories is based on a social concept, the other is looking for a mechanism of influence on the formation of a person's character in the emotional, sound and even color features of a name. Proponents of such judgments believe that each name carries information about a person's inclinations, talents, his ability to build relationships, behave in one way or another in society, and even about his state of health. And, relying on this knowledge, they advise to be guided by them, for example, when hiring a person, since there is supposedly a certain pattern that manifests itself in the owners of the same names. Is it so?
No one will dispute the fact that the role of a person's personal name in society is quite large. A pronounced name is almost always associated with its bearer, with a combination of certain personality traits, with its image and character. “Names express the nature of things,” wrote the Orthodox theologian and philosopher priest Pavel Florensky, who devoted one of his works to the study of names. “Before the name, a person is not yet a person,” he noted. Indeed, we find the justification for this assertion in the Holy Scriptures.

About choosing a name - in the Bible

The initial example of naming was given by the Lord God Himself after the creation of the first man (Gen. 2:25), whom He also endowed with the same gift (Gen. 2:19-20). Further biblical narration shows that the names that appeared on the pages of Scripture reflected the special functions of their bearers for the sacred history. In some cases, they changed to mark a new calling of a person: Abram to Abraham (Gen. 17: 5), Jacob - to Israel (Gen. 32: 24-30). Often the names contained wishes about some specific future qualities of the baby or the type of his activity, or were given with the impulse to capture some events or cases related to the circumstances of the child's appearance (Gen. 25:25, 29:32-34, 30:18 -24, 35:18, Ex. 2:22). Moses, which means "saved from the water," was so named because he was taken out of the water (Ex. 2:10); the future prophet Samuel (asked from God) was really asked by his mother from the Lord (1 Sam. 1:20). As a rule, mothers and fathers were the first to see their born babies. It was they who noticed certain, not yet quite perceptible to outsiders, characteristic features, on the basis of which they called their children one name or another, reflecting the behavior or appearance of the future person: Esau is shaggy, Nabal is stupid.

The name paints / ugliness a person, or a person is a name

However, nowhere on the pages of the Bible do we find any direct indications or facts indicating that the name could somehow "program" a person's life. Moreover, it is clear from Sacred History that many of its heroes, bearing the same names, had completely different fates. Among the Judas mentioned in the Bible (praise to Jehovah), there is also the ancestor of one of the tribes of Israel (Gen. 35:23), and the famous defender of the faith and fatherland Judas Maccabee (1 Mac. 2:4), and the leader of the rebels (Acts 5:37 ), and the Apostle Judas Thaddeus (Luke 6:16), and, finally, Judas Iscariot (Mat. 10:4), who forever stained this name with betrayal. These facts indicate that only the life and actions of a person fill the name with meaning and can change its meaning, but it is impossible to convey through the name the qualities and properties that are formed as a result of upbringing or in the process of life.
Our ancestor Eve, knowing about the promise of God regarding the future deliverer, hoped that its fulfillment would be realized already with the birth of her firstborn. That is why she named her son Cain, considering him an acquisition from the Lord (Gen. 4:1). According to the logic of those who believe that the name can determine the fate of the individual, Cain's life should have corresponded to it. However, he went down in history as the first murderer, who can hardly be associated with "acquisition from the Lord." And, on the contrary, Abel (vanity, insignificance) turned out to be a God-loving person and became the first innocent victim (Gen.4:8).
In general, the story that happened to Cain and Abel is a vivid example of the fact that the life of an individual does not depend on the name, but on her free will and on the choice she makes. The words of the Lord “if you do not do good, then sin lies at the door; he draws you to himself, but you rule over him” were addressed not only to Cain, but to all mankind (Genesis 4:7).

Should a baby be named after a deceased relative?

There are also special names in the Bible, which, even before the birth of their bearers, contained prophetic indications of a future mission. So it was with John the Baptist (the grace of God) (Luke 1:13), so it was with Our Savior Jesus Christ Himself (Luke 1:31). In the traditions of the Jewish people in later times, it was customary to choose a name for a newborn from the well-known names of the family - father, grandfather or other respected relatives. And at the same time, no one was afraid that the name of the deceased relative would harm the baby. The ancient pagan peoples, who apostatized from God and fell into idolatry, believed that the name of the born baby should be kept secret so that evil spirits could not harm him. Therefore, in order to mislead these spirits, they tried to give the child several names, hiding the original one. Some primitive tribes believed that if you name a baby after a deceased relative, then you can thus transfer the soul of the deceased into a newborn, and then the fate of the child will be similar to the fate of his predecessor. Apparently, even after the adoption of Christianity, the echoes of these beliefs have survived to our time in the form of various superstitions.
It should be noted that in Christianity there is no concept of fate in its generally accepted notion as a kind of deterministic inevitability or fate. From the point of view of the Christian religion, the definition of destiny includes the realization of a person's destiny, aimed at revealing in him the Image and Likeness of God. Not blind fate or insidious chance, not impersonal physical laws govern human life, but Divine Providence or Providence. In Orthodoxy, there is a doctrine of predestination, which states that we are all predestined to salvation. All people, according to God's plan, have the same destiny - to be in the Kingdom of Heaven. “For this is good and pleasing to our Savior God, who wants all people to be saved and come to the knowledge of the truth,” writes the Apostle Paul (1 Tim. 2:3-4). The Good Providence of God directs a person to salvation, helps a person, pushes him on the path of righteousness. However, the fulfillment of this predestination depends solely on our free choice. Therefore, predestination is conditional. And in this regard, the name of a person does not in the least affect his life path and, even more so, his future eternal destiny.

Orthodox tradition and the debunking of myths

Orthodoxy has its own centuries-old tradition of naming. Previously, the naming of a Christian name, according to the charter of the Church, was performed before baptism on the eighth day after the birth of the baby - following the example of the Savior Christ (Luke 2:21), and was one of the preparatory actions for it. At present, the naming usually takes place on the day of Epiphany, before the rite of announcement. Thus, at Baptism, a person received a name from the Church, which was chosen according to one of several rules. Most often, the child was named in honor of the saint, whose memory fell either on his birthday, or on the day of the naming, or on the day of Baptism.
Today, Baptism is preceded by the civil registration of a newborn. By this time, the parents are already, as a rule, determined with a name that fits into the birth certificate. If the chosen name is not in the Orthodox Menologion, then the priest recommends choosing an Orthodox name that is similar in sound. At one time there was a custom in our society to give children names in the Western European form: Angela, Jeanne, Ilona, ​​Jan, Leon. The priest translated such names into the Church Slavonic form when performing the Sacrament of Baptism. It happens that a child is named according to a vow, in honor of a certain saint, who was chosen in advance and prayed to him. However, everything related to naming is advisory in nature, and parents have the right to choose any name for the child.
The Christian tradition of naming children after saints is an educational measure. It is very important to have a positive life example and role model for the moral development of a person. But in order for the life norms of a person to coincide with the life principles of a saint, appropriate upbringing and strong-willed efforts of the individual himself are necessary. The name of a saint does not make a person a saint. There are no happy or unlucky names. There are simply names that are difficult to pronounce and difficult to remember, which can become an occasion for jokes on a person. Such names should simply be prudently avoided, showing prudence:

If only you are smart
You won't let the guys
So fancy names
Like Proton and Atom.

Let father and mother understand
What's up with this nickname
Age will have to age
Unfortunate children -
once wrote the Soviet poet Samuil Marshak in his poem "In Defense of Children". It is also an absolute delusion that the girl’s character can be influenced by the name given to her, which is of male origin: Alexandra, Vasilisa, Theodora, etc. If the parents of such a daughter give her the right upbringing, then her innate femininity will never turn into masculinity. It is not the name that creates the fate of a person, but a person spiritualizes the name with his life and actions.
***
... At the end of this spring, I met joyful Elena on the street, walking with a stroller, in which the wonderful baby Vasily was peacefully and regally snoring, absolutely unaware of the battles that erupted among relatives even before he was born. Heaven itself stood up for this child, begged by the mother from God. Ahead of all deadlines, he was born on the feast of the Circumcision of the Lord and on the day of memory of St. Basil the Great. The need to choose a name resolved itself.

Do you like your name? Do you feel any discomfort at all when someone calls you by name? If so, then you are a lucky person!

Your name is fully consistent with your appearance, and your character, and lifestyle, and everything that is connected with you. However, many people are not happy with what their parents named them at birth. Sometimes the reason for this is the dissonant pronunciation of the last name and first name. Therefore, many people change their names. Is it right or not? Is it even possible to change the name and surname given by the parents, and what are the consequences for those who nevertheless changed the entries on the second page of the passport?

If you don't like your name, you can easily change it. However, before you do this, think carefully. Maybe this is a whim, and you just decided to be called the same as your favorite actor or hero from the movie. It is unlikely to bring you what you are waiting for.

If you decide to change your name

When changing your first or last name, you must be completely sure that you need it. Remember that along with the name, your destiny can also change. Life can change dramatically, and, unfortunately, not always for the better.

The name of a person contains a large flow of information. After all, for sure, you are not the only one who bears this name and surname. So, by changing your name, you forever move away from the energy that protected you or vice versa, attracted failures.

How to choose the best name

There are several tips for choosing the right name. Firstly, it must be “rubber”, that is, such that derivatives and diminutive forms could be formed from it. For example, the name Ivan: Vanya, Vanechka, Vano, Vanek, Vanyusha and so on. Secondly, the name should be well combined with the surname and patronymic. Thirdly, it should be sonorous and not carry aggression. If you want to change your name or name your child in a way that gives a soft character, you need to choose names that combine soft sounds. For example, Xenia, Yulia, Alexey and others.

It often happens that a child is named after one of the eldest family members. He then grows up and realizes that he is not comfortable with his name. This happens when a person simply cannot associate his personality with his name. There are many reasons for this. The first reason is that a person can, along with a name, absorb all the negative qualities of the character of the family member in whose honor he was named. The second reason is that the character of a person may not completely coincide with the character of this family member, which can lead to dissonance. The third reason is that along with such a hereditary name, a person may be responsible for the honor and dignity of this family member. He will always unconsciously strive to "keep the mark", and this will put pressure on him.

Parapsychologists generally do not advise parents to name a child in honor of someone. It is worth considering that each person is an individuality, so you should not drive him into the framework of a name that was originally endowed with any meaning.

How to make a name happy

If you decide to change your name, then you naturally have one question: what name will make me happy? The answer to this question is quite simple. The name will bring you good luck only if you associate yourself with it perfectly. You can come up with a completely unrealistic name that no one on the planet has, but if you really feel good about being called by this name, then this is the right choice. With the help of a name change, you can discover new talents in yourself, strengthen some qualities of character, develop abilities that you never even dreamed of before.

Undoubtedly, the name affects the fate and character of a person. It gives us essence, certain character traits and abilities. It's not just a set of sounds. The name of a person is a certain key to the fate of a person, a code that can influence everything that happens in life. There are many cases when people, changing their last name or first name, completely changed their fate. As they say, whatever you call a ship, that's how it will sail, so call your ships only good names! And don't forget to press and

The article shows the role of a person's name in the formation of his character and destiny. The following theories explaining the influence of a name on a person's character are considered: social, emotional, sound, linguistic. The linguistic analysis of the names is given: Mikhail, Arina, Alexander, Sergey, Bogdan, Yaroslav. On the basis of the ancient Slavic initial letter, alphanumeric codes of these names were compiled, helping to understand the deep meaning of the words. In the Old Slavic language, alphabetic characters had their own meaning, image, and some of them had a numerical value. Replacing the initial letter in the word also changed its semantic image. A linguistic analysis of the names Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and Adolf Hitler was carried out. The following characteristics were taken into account: spelling of letters, sound, figurative meaning, numerical value, alphanumeric code of the word. The linguistic analysis of the words Rus and Russia is carried out.

“Among the vague mysteries that the human mind stumbles upon is the influence on the moral character and fate of a person of his name,”

S.R. Mintslov

The semantics of the name, its origin, influence on the fate of a person and its development in the world are dealt with by official sciences - anthroponymy and onomastics. Outstanding scientists studied the influence of a person's name on his character and fate: P. Florensky, A. Losev, L. Uspensky, V.A. Nikonov, P. Rouge and others.

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the influence of a name on the fate of a person, a city, and even a state. Therefore, with major changes in the fate of a person, his name changes: at baptism, at marriage, at spiritual initiation, in show business. When changing state power, they also try to rename streets, cities and even states.

From time immemorial, in all countries of the world and in all cultures, it was customary to give a person two names, one of which was known only to parents, a priest, a priest or a shaman. This was done for magical protection from the evil eye or damage. The Slavs, like many other peoples, believed that the fate of a person is determined by the name, it is the key to its inner essence. Before the baptism of Rus', at birth, a child received from his father his first name in honor of one of the Ancestors. When he turned twelve years old, the child underwent initiation into adulthood (the rite of passage of age) and received a new adult generic name, and received a second secret name during the rite of “naming”. The secret name was known only to close relatives. With the adoption of Christianity, the function of the secret name began to be performed by the canonical name, enshrined in the traditions of the Christian religion. Among the canonical names are those taken from the church calendar, where the names of canonized saints are listed according to the months and days of their memory (the so-called calendar or hagiographic names). In Russia, until the 17th century, parents kept the name given to the child at baptism a secret, thus trying to deceive evil spirits.

The worldly name was not associated with religious traditions and served as the main name. It was supposed to endow its carrier with some useful qualities in life. Nicknames, unlike names, do not reflect desirable, but real properties and qualities, territorial or ethnic origin, place of residence of their carriers, etc. Nicknames are given to people at different periods of their lives. In official documents in Rus', nicknames were used along with non-canonical names. A Russian proverb says: “Parents give one name. Life gives a completely different name. But we give ourselves the real name. But not everyone has the courage to confess their true name. Even to myself."

The clarifying part of the name of the Slav is the patronymic (patronymic nickname), which directly indicates the origin and family ties of this person. In the old days, the patronymic indirectly indicated the social affiliation of a person, as it was considered an honorary name. Representatives of the highest feudal aristocracy were called by the so-called full patronymic ending in -vich, the middle classes used less honorable forms of patronymic nicknames - semi-patronymic names ending in -ov, -ev, -in, and the lower classes did without patronymics at all.

Surnames, or inherited official names, indicating a person's belonging to a particular family, appeared among the Slavs rather late. The first Slavic surnames have been known since the 15th-16th centuries, among the peasants they begin to appear only in the 18th-19th centuries. The naming of a person with a paternal nickname as a generic one was considered quite sufficient, and therefore the so-called "daddychestvo" (personal nicknames formed on behalf of the grandfather) were used extremely rarely. With the development of private land ownership, a genealogy was required, fixed in generic nicknames common to all family members.

Quite often, the father's name is introduced into the surname itself. A lot of German and English surnames ending in “zone” or “son”, Scandinavian - in “sen”, Georgian in “shvili”, Armenian in “yants” or “yan”, Turkish “oglu”, Iranian in “zade” , Slavic in -ov, -ev, -in, -ich (Petrich) simply mean "son" (Robinson is the son of Robin). In Scots and Irish, the same role is played by the prefixes: McNabs, and "O" (O'Brien).

The name of a person carries a lot of information. Naming their child, parents give him a purpose and a program in life. The name is a sound wave that has a direct impact on the formation of a person's character traits, on his spiritual qualities, on his specific actions.

The name is the formula of fate, the program of life. It helps a person to realize his destiny, attract higher powers to the fate and understand the problems of character that need to be worked on. An incorrectly chosen name leads a person to stagnation, deprives him of protection. To get out of the vicious circle, the name must be consciously changed. At present, the name is given in honor of some prosperous relative, children are called by the names of the presidents of countries, famous politicians, favorite writers, actors, scientists, athletes, or refer to the church calendar. Very few people give a name consciously, choosing both by date of birth and by desired qualities.

Each person has several names:

Personal name. It has several pronunciations. For example, the official one is Natalya, the diminutive is Natashenka, the abbreviated one is Nata, etc.).

Family name (surname, patronymic).

Secret name (at baptism or spiritual initiation).

An arbitrary name that can change during life (pseudonyms, nicknames, etc.). Pseudonyms are especially relevant in literature, politics and show business. To work in art, it is advisable to take a creative first and last name (you can calculate the name by numerology).

A nickname is a name-sticky. Surrounding people intuitively feel that the character of a person corresponds to this or that word, reflecting its very essence.

Each name has its own personal image that has developed in the course of history. The names of great people are associated in the public mind with certain aspirations and achievements. Learning about the exploits of their namesakes, a person acquires a source of additional confidence that he can do the same. Not without reason in the royal dynasties of different times the same names were repeated from generation to generation.

Russian researcher S.R. Mintslov, in a small book called The Power of Names, wrote about the striking uniformity of characters and properties of bearers of the same name. He came to the conclusion that among Alekseevs most often there are prudent people, Alexanders, as a rule, are merry fellows, and Peters, for the most part, are quiet, quiet people, but with a firm and stubborn character.

Pavel Florensky, an outstanding Russian scientist and philosopher, devoted a special work, “Names”, to the study of the connection between names and character. He writes: "The name is the thinnest flesh, through which the spiritual essence is determined." The name Alexander, notes P. A. Florensky, basically corresponds to the sanguine, with a bias towards the choleric character. Alexandra in relation to women are helpful and amiable, but their feeling for a woman rarely “explodes their inner life with a plow” and is more often limited to light flirting. The name Elena marks female nature, Nikolai are kind in their warehouse, Vasily usually hide tender feelings in themselves, Konstantin is distinguished by inconstancy ...

Concerning the mysticism of names, V. A. Nikonov, a specialist in the field of anthroponymy - the science of names, recalls in his book "Name and Society" the story of Jack London, in which one woman calls her sons the name of the deceased beloved brother Samuel, and all four of them, one by one, takes away death.

Specialists from the universities of San Diego and Georgia found that teachers in schools persistently give low marks to students with some names, high - with others. Girls with attractive names are poorly promoted and in business, but they can achieve noticeable success in show business.

There are several theories explaining how a person's name can influence his character.

Social theory. From a social point of view, a person's name is a bundle of social information about its bearer. By name, one can judge the origin, nationality, possible religion, basic character traits and temperament of a person. These representations are approximately the same for different people, which, in turn, determines approximately the same attitude towards the bearer of a given name. The “sociality” of the name was more pronounced in the last century, when names were given according to the calendar and behind each name there was a life story of a saint with very specific forms of behavior, character traits, attitude to the surrounding reality, etc. “By name and life” - said the stereotypical formula according to which the church and the Orthodox people raised the future Christian.

emotional theory. According to this theory, a person's name is seen as an emotional stimulus. Some names sound soft, affectionate and evoke a feeling of pleasant, gentle, sublime in those around them, while others, on the contrary, evoke unpleasant emotions, make you cringe internally, tense up, and become cold. This is the so-called "music of names". The initial attitude of others towards the bearer of the name will largely depend on what it is and will affect the characteristics of a person’s character.

sound theory. The name is a set of sounds of different heights and timbres. Different names - different sets of sounds. Sound stimuli different for the brain excite different structures of the brain.

There is another mechanism for the possible influence of the name on the formation of character. It operates at the level of unconscious associations and human sensations. This conclusion was reached as a result of studies in which people were asked to answer the question of what color they associate different names with. It turned out that for the statistically overwhelming majority of the studied, the name "Tatiana" evokes the idea of ​​red (and close to it) color, while the name "Elena" is usually associated with blue (and close to it) color. From the psychology of color, it is known that red color causes a state of anxiety, danger, suffering in a person, while blue, on the contrary, causes a feeling of calm and tranquility.

The above studies, theories convinced that there is a connection between the name of a person and his mental characteristics.

We present the results of a linguistic study of the alphanumeric codes of some Slavic names. Initial letters of the Old Slavic language were used. On fig. 1 shows the ancient Slavic initial letter, in fig. 2 modern Russian alphabet.

Rice. 1. Old Slavic Letter

Rice. 2. Modern alphabet

In the Old Slavic language, alphabetic characters (letters) had their own meaning, image. Some initial letters had a numerical value (Fig. 1). In addition to the numerical value, the initial letters also had a serial number in the alphabet, reflecting their relationship with other letters.

To write numerals in capital letters, a numerical title was used:. For example, the number 241 was written: (two hundred and forty one).

Numbers from eleven to nineteen were written in the following order: first ones, and then tens. For example, twelve was written .(three (G) and ten (i)).

For simplification in the article, the entry without a title will be used to write numerals in capital letters.

Let's take a look at some of the names.

Name Michael.

Spelled: M (think) - to think, wisdom, transmission, transformation.

Х (хѣръ) - the highest positive meaning; world balance, harmony.

L (people) - community, association, orientation, measured existence.

Michael - the harmony of people is achieved by thoughts about the universe of harmony (guardian of wisdom).

The numerical value of the name Michael:

40(M)+8(I)+600(X)+1(A)+8(I)+30(L)==687(XPZ)=6+8+7=21(KA)=2+1 =3(G) - keeping the peace of the earth (XPZ) as a source (KA) of transmission of wisdom (G).

Let's make an alphanumeric code for the name Michael. According to fig. 1 letter "M" is in the matrix under number 17. Let's add the serial numbers of the drop caps in the word, and replace the resulting sum with drop caps that have a numerical value.

No. 17 (M) + No. 11 (I) + No. 27 (X) + No. 1 (A) + No. 11 (I) + No. 16 (L) \u003d 83 (PG).

The number 83 consists of 80+3. The numerical value 80 corresponds to the letter P (chambers), the number 3 - G (verbs). Then the number 83 can be expressed with initial letters (PG) - the transmission of wisdom at rest.

83 \u003d 8 + 3 \u003d 11 (Az + hie i) self-knowledge \u003d 2 (B - lead) - wisdom.

Therefore, Michael is the guardian of wisdom, coming to wisdom through self-knowledge. Able to transfer the acquired knowledge to other people in a state of peace of mind, balance.

Name Misha:

M (think) - to think, wisdom, transmission, transformation.

And (izhє) - unity, union, harmony, balance.

A (az) is a person who lives on earth and does good. Beginning, origin.

Misha: thoughts about harmony that go beyond.

To understand the deep meaning of the name, its digital reading will help.

40(M)+8(I)+0(W)+1(A) = 49(Mθ)==13(GI)=4(D).

(M - thinker; θ - fita) thoughts about the harmony of man with nature. (G - verbs; I - izhei) - the transfer of knowledge, wisdom. D (good) - good, multiplication.

Expressing the drop caps in terms of serial numbers:

No. 17 (M) + No. 11 (I) + No. 31 (Sh) + 1 (A) \u003d \u003d 60 (Y - xi) - spirituality.

Therefore, Misha must live in harmony with nature. This is his way of obtaining knowledge and translating it into good deeds. Spiritual man.

Arina's name.

Arina - ar (earth), ina (born).

The numerical value of the name Arina:

1(A) + 100 (P) + 8 (I) + 50 (H) + 1 (A) \u003d \u003d 160 (РѮ) \u003d 7 (Z) - born (P) spirit (Y) on earth (Z).

Alphanumeric code for the name Arina:

1(A)+21(P)+11(I)+18(H)+1(A)=52(HB)==7(Z) - our (H) earthly (Z) wisdom (B).

The name Bogdan means given by God.

The numerical value of the name Bogdan:

70(0)+3(D)+4(D)+1(A)+50(N)= =128(RFL) ordering leading to harmony =11(AI) - self-knowledge =2(V) - wisdom.

Alphanumeric code for the name Bogdan:

2(B)+19(O)+4(G)+5(D)+1(A)+18(N)==49(Mθ)=13(ГI)=4(D) - multiplication of good (D ) through the transmission of wisdom (G) and thoughts (M) about the harmony of man with nature (θ).

The name Yaroslav - bearing the purity and light (glory) of the sun. Yaro (Yarilo) means the sun.

The numerical value of the name Yaroslav:

100 (R) + 70 (O) + 200 (C) + 30 (L) + 1 (A) + 3 (B) \u003d \u003d 404 ("ouk"; D "good") \u003d 8 (I) - approved structure () goodness (D) and harmony (I).

In the Old Slavic language, the sound "I" was transmitted by the letters "єнъ" (Ѧ), meaning he; structure; ascending image and initial letter "ar", homogeneous structure.

We write the name Yaroslav as Ѧ roslav and calculate the alphanumeric code of the name.

No. 41 (Ѧ) + No. 21 (P) + No. 19 (O) + No. 22 (S) + No. 16 (L) + No. 1 (A) + No. 3 (B) \u003d 123 (RKG) - saying (R ), as (K) transmission of wisdom (D).

The name Sergey means born on a foggy (gray) morning.

The numerical value of the name Sergey:

200(S)+5(e)+100(p)+3(G)+5(e)+8(d) = 321 (TKA) = (S) - affirming (T) unknown (S), as ( K) person (A).

Through serial numbers:

No. 22 (C) + No. 6 (e) + No. 21 (p) + No. 4 (g) + No. 6 (e) + No. 11 (d) \u003d 70 (O) \u003d 7 (Z) - earthly (Z) circle (O).

By the name of Sergei, we can conclude that he will assert human wisdom throughout his life.

But the numerical value of the name Sergiy:

200(C)+5(e)+100(p)+3(G)+10(i)+8(d) = =326 (TKS) =11(AI)=2(B) - approver (T) unknown (S) space (K); through self-knowledge (AI), comes to wisdom (B).

The alphanumeric code for the name Sergiy will be:

No. 22 (C) + No. 6 (e) + No. 21 (p) + No. 4 (g) + + No. 12 (i) + No. 11 (d) \u003d 76 (OS) \u003d 13 (GI) \u003d 4 (D ) - the structure unknown to us (OS) transmits knowledge and multiplies goodness. Consequently, Sergius is guided not by human, but by God's wisdom.

Consider the name Alexander.

In the Old Slavonic language was the name Olgѯandr. The initial letter O "on" meant the tribal circle: grandfather, father, son. Lay down, sixteen dimensional beings. Olguandr is the grandson of a leg, carrying a spiritual structure (ѯ) and the son of a druid (dr). The spirit is non-material, unknown to us, therefore, in many nations it is denoted by "X": Aleχandre.

Then the name Algsandr appeared - similar to (A) leg, the son of a druid. Over time, "g" turned into the sound "k" and the name began to be written as Alksandr.

Numerical meaning of the name Alksandr:

1(A)+30(L)+20(K)+200(C)+1(A)+50(H)++4(D)+100(P)=406(S) - unknown to us (S ) a clear structure with its foundations () = 10 (I) - universal structure = 1 (A) source.

Alphanumeric code of the name Alksandr:

#1(A)+#16(L)+#35(b)+#15(j)+#22(c)+#1(a)+#18(n)+#5(e)+#21 (p) + No. 33 (b) \u003d 167 (PѮZ) the speech of the spirit of the earth \u003d 14 (DI) practical experience \u003d 5 (Є) - being.

1(A)+30(L)+5(e)+600(X)+1(A)+50(H)+4(D)+100(P) = 791 (ΨA) =17 (ZI) = 8 (I) - spiritual traits of a person (ΨA), who knows the earthly space (ZI), a harmonious person (I).

Alphanumeric code of the name Alexander:

#1(A)+#16(L)+#6(e)+#27(χ)+ +#1(a)+#18(n)+#5(e)+#21(p)+# 33(b) = =128 (RFL) speech as harmony =11 (AI) self-knowledge = 2 (B) - wisdom.

Numerical meaning of the name Alexander:

1 (A) + 30 (L) + 5 (e) + 20 (K) + 200 (C) + 1 (A) + 50 (H) + 4 (D) + 100 (P) \u003d 411 (UAI) - approach to self-knowledge = 6 (S) - unknown.

One of the meanings of the name Alexander: approaching the unknown through self-knowledge.

Using a similar technique, we will analyze the name: Pushkin Alexander Sergeevich. Let's write down his name in the Old Slavonic language: Pushkin Aleχandr Sergievich.

P (chambers) - harmony, balance, peace.

U (uk) - approaching something.

Sh (sha) - silence; breadth; space; going beyond certain limits, beyond certain images of perception.

K (kako) - volume, space, the union of man with the universe.

I (izhei) - the universe, galaxy, space.

N (our) - ours in the universe.

Ъ (єръ) - creation in progress.

Pushkin is an approach to harmony in the space of our universe.

The numerical value of the surname Pushkin:

80 (P) + 20 (K) + 10 (I) + 50 (N) \u003d 160 (РѮ) \u003d \u003d 7 (Z) - spiritual utterances on earth.

Numerical meaning of the name Alexander:

791 (ѰЧА) =17 (ZI) =8(И) - spiritual traits of a person (ѰЧА) who knows the earthly space (ZI), a harmonious person (I).

The numerical value of the patronymic Sergievich:

200 (C) + 5 (e) + 100 (p) + 3 (g) + 10 (i) + 5 (e) + 2 (c) + 8 (i) + 90 (h) \u003d 423 (KV) - a certain structure of wisdom (information structure) = 9 (θ) - the harmony of man with nature.

If we add up all the numerical values ​​​​of the surname, name, patronymic, we get a new image: 160+ 791 +423= 1374 (ATOD) - a person (A) who approves (T) the circle (O) of goodness (D).

1374= 1+3+7+4=15 (єi) - the wisdom of being =6 (s) unknown to us.

We get Pushkin Alexander Sergievich - a sincere person who knows the earthly space, striving for harmony with nature, receiving knowledge from outer space and transmitting spiritual knowledge on earth.

Pushkin A.S. was born on 06/06/1799. Date of birth means: 6 + 6 + (1 + 7 + 9 + 9) = 12 (BI) knowledge of wisdom + 26 (KS) as unknown = 38 (LI) orientation towards harmony, balance.

The date of birth and the name coincide in terms of the purpose of life - an approximation to (aspiration) harmony. That is, the program of life coincided with the purpose of life.

Consider the name Adolf Hitler.

Adolf: the beginning (A) of increasing (D) human (L) pride (F).

The digital meaning of the name Adolf: 1 (A) + 4 (D) + 70 (O) + 30 (L) + 500 (F) \u003d 605 (XE) - balance in everyday life \u003d 11 (AI) - self-knowledge \u003d 2 (B) . Obtaining wisdom in the process of self-knowledge and harmony in everyday life. The presence of the letter F speaks of pride.

Hitler: 3 (G) + 8 (I) + 300 (T) + 30 (L) + 5 (Є) + 100 (P) \u003d 446 (UMS) - philosophical character. An attempt to make sense of the unknown.

The first name plus the last name will be: 446 + 605 \u003d 1051 \u003d 900 (C) + 151 (RHA) \u003d 7 (Z) - the goal (C) is the speech (P) of the human (NA). A born speaker, able to convey his beliefs to people and able to lead people. The ultimate goal is land ownership.

Another image of the initial letter R is separation, differentiation; ON - the people.

This means that the main goal of Adolf Hitler was to divide peoples and rule over the earth.

The full name code must be compared with the date of birth April 20, 1889. Date code: 20 + 04 \u003d 24 (KD) desire for accumulation; 1889 = 1+8+8+9=26 (KS) desire for the unknown.

The date of birth contains the need to explore the unknown.

Consider the influence of the name of the state on its fate.

Rs, Rus, Russia.

The original spelling of Rus was through the initial letter "ouk". Its image: a clear structure with its foundations, form, content. Pronounced like "oh".

Rs - recommended (R) definite form (ouk) of the word (C) created (b). A people, a community that speaks the same language, lives according to its own customs.

Deep meaning:

100(Р)+400()+200(с)=700(Ѱ) =7(Z) - Soul (Ѱ) of the Earth (Z). Hence the expression: "Russian soul".

After spelling reforms, this letter was removed from the alphabet. Rs began to be written as Rus, through the initial letter "uk". The image of this initial letter: being near something, approaching something, calling.

Rus' is a river (r) of the word created. Lost the meaning. This word lacks meaning and content. There was some indefinite form.

100 (P) + 200 (s) \u003d 300 (T) - firmament, territory.

No one needs to explain what a tragic history the country with that name had.

Russia is the power (ro) of the word (s) this (siya).

100(P)+70(O) +200(s) +200(s) +8(I) = 574(FOD) = 7(Z) - the noble divine structure of the good of the Earth. This is the power of the word.

The strength of our Motherland is in the word. Therefore, further simplification of the alphabet and degradation of the language should not be allowed. It is necessary to return to the Russian language its former greatness, and to the country - strength and power.

From the above examples it follows that whatever spelling of the word, such is the meaning of the image: “as it comes around (what image you send), it will respond (you will receive it).

Conclusion: the study of the Old Slavonic language will help to find out the true meaning of a person's name and find out your purpose of life. Properly chosen name of the child helps him to develop harmoniously.

“As you call a ship, so will sailing” - this saying, like any other folk wisdom, arose for a reason.

The name of a person is a powerful carrier of information about him. Even official statistics have long determined that carriers of the same name are similar to each other in character, lifestyle, and sometimes outwardly.

Does the name affect the personality and fate of its bearer, or does it all depend on the environment of the person?
It is not possible to answer this question unambiguously. Most likely, both answers are correct in their own way.

When a person is born and is called by one name or another, he begins to form his Self on a subconscious level in accordance with the characteristics of this name:

Sound characteristic
The combination of sounds in the name plays a very important role. If the sound of your name is in harmony with internal rhythms, causes any positive emotions in the subconscious: pride, respect, that is, you like it - you are much more likely to become a happy and successful person than if you feel discomfort every time you sound it and envy people with beautiful names. On this occasion, psychologists advise - do not be afraid of paperwork and be sure to change your passport name to the desired one.

Historical roots
Each name has its own personal image that has developed in the course of history. The names of great people are associated in the public mind with certain aspirations and achievements. Learning about the exploits of their namesakes, a person acquires a source of additional confidence that he can do the same.

It is not for nothing that in the royal dynasties of different times the same names were repeated from generation to generation, and to this day children are often named after successful and famous people.

National characteristic
As a rule, when a person is called by his national name, this in itself makes him involved in the customs and culture of his nationality.

But if you want to give a child freedom of choice in self-determination of nationality, it is better to call him some international name (for example: Laura, Denis, etc.).

Meaning of the name
Initially, the names of our distant ancestors were “speaking” phrases that carry a certain meaning: “Swift deer”, “Big fang”, “Vigilant eye”. Over time, the names took on a simpler and more harmonious form, and their meaning disappeared from the surface of perception. But each name, nevertheless, has its own individual interpretation.

For example, "Arthur" is interpreted as "bear", and "Larisa" as "seagull". Some names retained their literal meaning: "Love", "Hope", "Genius".

Usually a person has at least two names: passport (full) and diminutive (Anna - Anya). And he reacts and responds to them in completely different ways. For example, if you were constantly called by your full name, you would probably grow up to be a slightly different person: because the full name symbolizes a more respectful, strict attitude than its diminutive form. And vice versa. But you acknowledge that both names are yours. As if you are "split", adjusting to them, thereby expanding the level of your perception.

People with one permanent name (Denis, Gleb, Vera, Alice ...) are more serious and "one-sided", more constant and thoughtful ...

The name is the key to the human soul.

How do names affect the fate of people?
There is a huge number of all kinds of teachings, scientific theories, in which an attempt is made to justify the influence of stars, space, various otherworldly forces, etc. on the fate of a person, his character, actions, family relationships. concept<рока>, <судьбы>some people accept it as a reality, others understand what is at stake, but do not believe in it. One of the directions of such research is an attempt to establish the connection that people's names have with their destiny. From the most ancient times of the development of human civilization among various peoples, great importance was attached to how names were chosen. Thinkers, philosophers, scientists have tried to explore and give some explanation of how the names affect the people who wear them. Perhaps you could already get acquainted with several works of both famous scientists and little-known authors who paid attention to this problem and dealt with it. You may also be interested in the studies of the problem presented here, the essence of which our names are.

All names carry a store of energy. It is like a kind of "developer" of countless possibilities dormant in us. The "stronger" the name, the more of them will be manifested, the more fully the personality will realize itself. Given the above, parents should carefully, with great care and caution, choose the names of their children. It is necessary to immediately discard difficult-to-pronounce, strange, pretentious and pretentious names. Also, one should not be tempted to give children the names of certain celebrities, famous political figures, TV series characters, etc.

There are no words in the language that, in terms of influence on character and fate, in terms of the power of expressing feelings, in terms of usage, could be ranked higher than our name. The name can sound like a request or an order, like a reproach or approval, like a slap or caress.

CIVIL CODE OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

It is not in vain that human names and everything connected with them is protected by law. The names of people prevent chaos, make the world orderly.

The influence of names on people from time immemorial has attracted the attention of inquisitive minds. Gradually, a firm conviction developed that names influence the character of people, helping their development, or, conversely, hindering it. It cannot be denied that there is such an influence. It is undoubtedly very difficult (otherwise it would have been deciphered long ago). So far, one thing is clear: this influence is made up of an unconscious component (about which we know practically nothing) and of the meaning of the name or information about the people who bore these names, which we are aware of. An example of such influence is the life story of Alexander Vasilyevich Suvorov.
He was born half-alive: he did not breathe, did not move, did not open his eyes, did not scream. After a saving slap from the midwife, the boy came to life, opened his eyes and shouted in a bass voice:<А-а-а!>In memory of this, the parents decided that his name would begin with the letter A. We looked into the calendar. Among those close to the birthday of the future commander of the saints on<А>it was Anastasius ("risen from the dead" in Greek) and three Alexanders: Rimsky, Svirsky and Nevsky. The mother leaned towards the first name, fearing that her son, who, in her opinion, was obliged to imitate his patron, would follow in the footsteps of Alexander Nevsky. The father insisted on Alexander, supported by the priest, who diplomatically remarked that when the boy grows up, he himself will choose a patron from the three Alexanders. Nothing is known about the Roman Alexander, except that he was a saint. Alexander Svirsky, according to legend, left the rich house of his parents, went to a monastery, lived on the island of Valaam and for thirty years in a row he hollowed out his grave in a granite rock, but he never managed to finish it. Everyone knows about Alexander Nevsky. Suvorov was forced to choose for seven years<ангелом>one of the two Russian saints - in the presence of his parents and a teacher-priest, they gave him to read both lives in a row. Alexander chose Nevsky: he did not want to gouge his own grave all his life. But besides Nevsky there was another Alexander - Macedonian. Classical education at that time dwelled in sufficient detail on antiquities, and Alexander Suvorov got to know his Greek namesake early in the writings of Plutarch. Taking both Alexanders as his model, the frail and sickly boy, through persistent exercises and spiritual self-improvement, turned into a great commander who, at the age of seventy, managed to overcome the pass through the Alps on foot.
Unfortunately, few of us are interested in our famous namesakes, their great deeds, important events in their lives.
