Ancient unusual masculine names, which you rarely see today, very often sound like outlandish names of unprecedented things and phenomena. But some old Russian names are so beautiful and caressing the rumor that many no, no, and dare to name their son Lazarus or Agnius, Arius or Bartholomew, Victoria or Gordey. Dominic, Kasyan, Cyrus, Dobromil, Milorad - many, of course, are unlikely to be needed, but still take this impressive list into service.
Very exotic names: Azhar, Aziz, Bagrat, Helian, Fernan, Juvenal, Sozontius, Straton - they were hardly heard at all by the average inhabitants, and meanwhile these are Slavic masculine names used by our ancestors.
Men's names on the church calendar
In olden times, the boy was given a name with great meaning, a person was “enrolled” in a particular clan of martyrs or ascetics described in the holy calendar.
You might want to name your son Amos or Helion, Octavian or Oliver, Thorium or Eugene. Each name has its own interpretation. Adele is not only a feminine name. Anastasius - you hardly knew that there is an analogue of the female "Anastasia".
Names are very ancient concepts, names of Deities, characteristics, belonging to something sacred and good. Domestic and foreign male names - unusual and common - basically mean some kind of virtue, for example, Cupid - love, Miroslav - the glorifying world, Nazar - that person who has dedicated himself to God, Luke - a bright, clean person.
Saints
Choosing a name for a son is a serious matter. Men's names in the Calendar are written according to the dates of the modern style, the name and date of the Baptism can be chosen independently.
