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.
