All Russian names are of Slavic origin and differ from others in the presence of two bases. Orthodox are very beautiful and have good good sense. Modern parents choose them as the name of their children. Let's talk about cool names and surnames in this article.
The Secret of the Two Foundations
Our ancestors believed that a person and his name are interconnected and inseparable. In ancient times, only his close relatives knew about the real name of the child, a false name was invented for everyone else. During adolescence, a person already used his real name, which determined his character and outlook on life. Among the cool names and surnames, there were both strong and funny ones. In the modern world, parents continue the traditions of their ancestors and give other names to their children during baptism, thereby trying to protect their child from damage and the evil eye. Russian names are called children born outside our homeland.
History of the origin of female names
An interesting fact is that many names are notare native Russians. Most of them have their origin in Christianity. After the adoption of the new faith, Greek, Byzantine and Jewish names began to appear in Russian culture. Cool names and surnames partially came to us completely from someone else's history.

Tradition of choosing a name
