All Russian names are of Slavic origin and differ from others in the presence of two foundations. Orthodox are very beautiful and have a good good sense. Modern parents choose their children as a name for their children. Let's talk about cool names and surnames in this article.
The mystery of the two foundations
Our ancestors believed that a person and his name are interconnected and inextricable. In ancient times, only his close relatives knew about the child’s real name; for all the others, a false name was invented. During adolescence, a person already used his real name, which determined his character and outlook on life. Among the cool names and surnames were strong and funny. In the modern world, parents continue the traditions of their ancestors and during baptism give other names to the children, thereby trying to protect their child from damage and the evil eye. Russian names are for children born outside our homeland.
