Choosing a name for a girl becomes a reason for thought for many parents. There are many ways to decide what to name your future daughter. This could be a choice based on the seasons or numerology. Many believers turn to the Saints. The future life of the baby depends on the given name, so many parents want to name the child in accordance with church custom.

What are name days?

Some people believe that name day and birthday are the same thing. But this opinion is a common mistake. What is the difference between a name day and a birthday and why is a person called a birthday person on the day he was born?

Birthday is the specific date on which a person was born. The tradition of celebrating this holiday appeared quite recently. Previously, not all people were educated and, accordingly, did not know how to use the calendar. In such circumstances, it was not possible to celebrate the birthday. During pagan times, a person was considered weak and vulnerable on this day, and could easily be exposed to dark forces. Gifts were given to strengthen a person’s energy field. This tradition has survived to this day.

A name day is a day of remembrance of the saint after whom a person is named. This is the main difference between birthday and name day.

Back in the days of Ancient Rus', a tradition arose of naming newborns according to the Saints. It was believed that the child was protected by his guardian angel. Therefore, there is such a thing as Angel Day.

A child named after the saint whose feast day is closest in time to the child's birthday. And receives a guardian angel with the same name. Of course, if a child is named after the Saints, then his birthday, name day and Angel Day coincide.

Currently, parents do not always name their child in accordance with the Saints.

Birthdays of August

When choosing a baby’s name, you need to approach it extremely consciously and even carefully. After all, if you blindly follow fashion or the modern tendency to name children with incomprehensible names, you can create a lot of difficulties for the child in the future. Everyone knows from childhood how many reasons children have to find fault with each other and start a quarrel. Often, strange names become the cause of mockery , which can subsequently significantly lower a child’s self-esteem.

Recently, the rush for fashionable names has passed, and people are again choosing traditional ones for their children, characteristic of their nationality or religion.

But when choosing names, you should also find out their meaning or read about the saint in whose honor you plan to name the child.

Perhaps it is useful for everyone to know how to choose an Orthodox name according to the calendar.

Believers generally believe that the saint whose name the child is named will protect him throughout his entire life . But it is worth noting that not all the names of saints revered by the Orthodox Church will be appropriate for modern society, for example, the name day on August 4, when the name Cornelius is proposed. Or the name day on August 20, where Nikanor is already a relatively outdated name that has not yet returned to circulation.

You have to think carefully before naming a boy by this name, even if the holy martyr bearing this name is especially revered in the family. In such situations, Orthodox Christians act as follows: they choose different names for peace and baptism.

One should not be surprised that many names are repeated, since the Orthodox Church every day honors the memory of one or another saint or martyr for Christ, of which there were many. For example, according to church calendars and calendars, Vyacheslav’s Angel Day in August occurs on the 16th, 23rd and 25th. This applies not only to days, but also to months.

Some names may be repeated from month to month, you just need to clarify which saint is venerated on this date. For example, Ivan will have a birthday on the 7th, 12th, 13th, 15th, 19th, 22nd, 29th, 31st in different months, and Dmitry on the 8th, 10th, 11th, 17th, 18th, 21st, 24th, 26th, 28th.

How to name a child according to the seasons?

It is believed that people born in summer are naturally kind. They simply radiate warmth and attention, trying to help others. Summer people are very vulnerable, they are prone to depression and nervousness, and they take judgment and other people’s negative opinions to heart.

Despite the fact that August women are powerful, they try to control everything around them - this is just the outer shell. At heart, such women are quite insecure people. Suitable names for girls in August are Christina, Svetlana, Maria, Anna, Ulyana, Susanna, Anna. Such names will help a child, and subsequently an adult woman, balance the imbalance of character traits inherent in nature.

In August, as in other months, there are much fewer women's name days. Often the names are of Slavic origin. And before giving your child a name, you should definitely familiarize yourself with the characteristics in order to know what qualities the child can develop more.

A name for a girl is always chosen even more carefully than for a boy. It is important for parents that the name be combined with the surname and have many diminutive forms that could be suitable for the baby. At the same time, the name should carry positive energy.

Many parents are looking for a name for a girl that will be rare and choose it so that the baby does not have many namesakes. It is for such cases that it is good to use the church calendar, because there is always a large selection of unique names and parents will have plenty to choose from.

In recent years, more and more girls with rare names are celebrating their name days. In August, almost every day there is a special holiday dedicated to one name or another. Each of them is unique and if chosen correctly, parents can put only the best qualities into the name.

A person whose name day in August is usually distinguished by his special intelligence and creativity. He never doubts his abilities and always confidently moves towards his goal.

Our ancestors also believed that a name could have a special energy and serve as a kind of amulet and protector for a person. Observing these canons to this day, even church ministers say that evil can still be defeated using only your name.

How to name a child according to numerology?

Science such as numerology will also help you choose names for girls in August. It is based on numbers. It is believed that with its help it is possible to calculate almost the entire human life. By studying the special table in detail, you can find out which name is best for your child. For this you will need his date of birth. As a result of all calculations, only one digit is obtained. And certain names correspond to it.

Origin of the name August

The name Augustus is derived from the Latin word "augustus".

At the dawn of its origin, the word “August” was not a name, but a designation of a title - the emperor was called August in Ancient Rome. Over time, the word became a proper name, but its meaning remained close to the imperial sphere - “great”, “royal”, “sacred”, “ruling”, “divine”. The origin of the proper name Caesar from the title of the corresponding position dates back to the same period. But the Caesars' sphere of influence was limited, while Augustus had complete control over the government.

Should you pay attention to your last and patronymic names?

Of course, no matter what method of choosing a name a person chooses, it is necessary to compare the sound with the surname and patronymic that the child will bear. For example, we chose “Alina” from the list of names in August for girls. It is worth comparing it with the middle name first. Not every patronymic is consonant with this name. It is also necessary to pay attention to the child’s last name. For example, Beatrice Petrova does not sound very harmonious. Therefore, before making a choice, you should think about how others will perceive it. To avoid ridicule and bullying of your child.

Based on all of the above, we can conclude that choosing a name for your daughter is a very important point. You can be guided in various ways, but you should always think about your child’s future first. About whether he will be comfortable. After all, your child will live with the chosen name all his life, communicate with the people around him. And, of course, you should not forget that the fate of a person, his life path may depend on your decision.

The month of August

Saints Alexander, John and Paul were patriarchs in Constantinople. St. Alexander was at first the chief priest under St. Mitrofan, Bishop of Constantinople; after his death, he took his place and was made patriarch. He was present at the First Ecumenical Council. During the reign of the Church of Constantinople, he had to fight both the Arians and the pagan philosophers, although he himself did not have a philosophical education. Once, in a dispute with the wisest of philosophers, turning to him, he said: “In the name of my Lord Jesus Christ, I command you to be silent,” and he became mute. But when the sage expressed with signs his error and the correctness of Christian teaching and fell at the feet of Alexander, his tongue was resolved, and he believed in Christ with many others and was baptized. Through the prayer of St. Alexandra, the heretic Arius was punished. Arius agreed to pretend to enter into communication with the Orthodox, as if changing his beliefs. St. Alexander, seeing the pretense of the heretic, did not agree to accept him into communion. Emperor Constantine insisted, and a day was appointed for the reception of Arius. All night St. Alexander prayed to God that He would either take his soul, so as not to see the day on which Arius would enter into communion with the Church, or would not allow the heretic to do so. Morning has come; Arius solemnly walked to the church. But suddenly he felt unwell, his insides were affected by illness, his womb split, and they came out, Arius died. St. died Alexander in 340 - St. John was the son of poor parents, and his father prepared him to be an honest artisan. He lived with a certain ascetic monk, imitating him in his exploits. Patriarch Eutyches, having learned about such a life of John, ordained him as a deacon of the great Church of Constantinople. For his special abstinence, John soon received the name faster. Having learned of his election as patriarch, he wanted to escape from a high and responsible appointment by flight, but was restrained by a vision from above. In addition to the feat of fasting, St. John was distinguished by his generosity towards the poor. He died in 595. After his death, only a wooden bed, a linen shirt and old outerwear were found. St. Paul, a Cypriot by birth, was made patriarch under the iconoclast emperor Leo Copronymus. He was a very virtuous and pious man, but fearful. Seeing that many Orthodox Christians were being tortured for venerating icons, he hid his Orthodoxy and, against his will, had contact with iconoclasts. After the death of Copronymus, he wanted to restore icon veneration, but could not find helpers for himself, because iconoclasm was still in great force. Then, seeing that he could not benefit the Church, he decided to leave the patriarchal throne, retired to a monastery and died as a schema-monk in 784.

Transfer the relics of the Blessed Grand Duke Alexander Nevsky. The holy prince comes from the family of the enlightener of the Russian land, St. Equal to the Apostles Prince Vladimir. His father, Grand Duke Yaroslav, rests in the cathedral church in Vladimir; mother - St. Alexandra, in the nuns of Theodosius. St. Alexander was born in 1220. From childhood, he revealed a pious disposition and a special love for God. Children's games and worldly talk did not interest him. St.'s favorite pastime The prince was reading the Holy Scriptures and the writings of St. fathers and teachers of the Church. His ears sought only church hymns, and therefore he loved to visit church often. He was of a meek and humble character. Having reached adulthood, St. The prince married the daughter of the Prince of Polotsk. When governing, he cared only about doing justice himself and that all his associates were distinguished by justice and mercy. During his time, the Russians were under the yoke of the Tatars; In addition, neighboring peoples: Lithuanians and Germans, worried them a lot. Therefore, for St. The prince took a lot of care and work to get along with the Tatars and repel enemies. The Lord Himself helped him for his piety. With a small army, he defeated the terrible force of the Swedes on the Neva River, for which he received the name Nevsky. Before the start of the war, one pious warrior saw a ship with saints Boris and Gleb and heard their following words: “Let’s go, let’s help our relative Alexander.” And when St. The prince fought with the Germans, then, through his prayer, a regiment of heavenly warriors appeared and helped his army defeat the enemies. Having heard about the kvyaz, the proud Tatar Khan Batu wanted to see him and summoned him. St. Alexander, having received, along with the blessing, the bishop's farewell, if necessary, to accept the crown of martyrdom, he boldly went to the khan. The Tatar priests demanded that he worship the sun and fire before presenting himself to the khan. “I am a Christian, and it is not fitting for me to bow to creation, but I bow to the Creator of all.” The priests reported this to the khan, but he did not order the prince to be forced to worship. Entering the tent, St. Alexander bowed to the khan and said: “I worship you, king, because God Himself honored you with the kingdom; But I do not worship the creature, because it was created for man.” The Khan praised the prince’s courage and released him with honor and gifts. St. Alexander achieved that the Tatar Khan freed the Russian clergy from taxes. Great labors and worries soon exhausted St. prince, and he died very early, at the age of 44, in 1263, on the way to the capital, to his family, from the Horde. Before the death of St. The prince accepted the schema, with the name Alexy. He was buried in Vladimir. When, during the burial, they wanted to straighten his hand in order to put a letter of permission into it, he himself, as if alive, extended his hand and accepted the letter. In 1491, the church where the relics of St. were buried was destroyed by fire. the prince, but the very relics remained unharmed. In 1710, making St. Petersburg the capital, founded on the banks of the Neva, which were glorified by the victory of St. prince over the Swedes, Emperor Peter I transferred St. his relics from Vladimir here to the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

The Monk Alexander of Svir is so called because he founded a monastery near the Svir River. Born through the prayer of his parents who lived in the Olonets province. When I started studying, I did poorly. This upset him greatly, and he tearfully prayed to God for help. Once after prayer, Alexander heard a voice: “Get up, you will get what you asked for,” and from that time on he began to study well. Instead of the games typical of childhood, he spent time in prayer and fasted. “Why are you exhausting yourself like that?” His mother told him with sorrow. “Do not turn me away from abstinence that is pleasant to me,” the young man Alexander answered his mother. His parents proposed marriage to him, but he refused. Once, when Valaam monks were in his parents’ house and were talking about their monastery, he wanted to leave his parents’ house and go with the monks to Valaam; but they said: “The abbot does not order us to take children away from their parents and bring them to the monastery. Wait, the Lord Himself will direct your path.” When he turned 26 years old, he became a monk on Valaam, where, after living for 13 years, he retired to the solitude indicated to him from above, 6 versts from Svir. Here Alexander spent 7 years in great exploits, did not eat bread, but ate grass. I got a stomach ache from such abstinence, but St. An angel, appearing in the form of a man, laid his hand on him and healed him. Evil spirits tried in every possible way to drive him out of the desert. Then lovers of solitary monastic deeds began to gather there. At first everyone lived as hermits, but then St. Alexander founded the monastery. Having become abbot, he did not change his severity towards himself, but further intensified his exploits; was the first to go to work and worked the hardest; slept on a bare board or sitting. I ate food once a day, and then only a little. He wore shabby clothes and humbly endured the ridicule and insults that occurred because of such clothes. He did not rebuke anyone harshly. During his lifetime the Lord glorified St. Alexandra: honored him with the gift of miracles and clairvoyance. He was rewarded with a vision of the Most Holy Theotokos in the air above the monastery church, who said that Her protection would always be over his monastery. St. died Alexander, 86 years old, in 1533. His relics were discovered in 1643.

The Monk Christopher lived in the 6th century. He came from Rome and labored for 11 years at the monastery of St. Feodosia, near Jerusalem. During the day he performed monastic obediences, and at night he went to the cave of St. Theodosius and prayed until they were called to the morning service. Then he spent 50 years in a strict life on Mount Sinai. One day, having arrived in Jerusalem to venerate the Holy Sepulcher, he saw that a monk was standing near the church doors, and two black crows were flying in front of his face, which, flapping their wings, did not allow him to enter the temple. The saint asked the monk why he did not enter the temple. “Forgive me, father, I am confused by two thoughts: one inspires me to go to the temple, and the other inspires me to first do some things and then bow to St. cross." St. Christopher realized that the tempting spirits were in the form of ravens, and, prayerfully taking the monk by the hand, he led him into the temple.

From his very birth, Saint Fantin was promised to God by his parents and, at the age of 8, he was sent to a monastery. In the monastery he labored strictly. He died in Thessaloniki, in a monastery, at the end of the 9th century.
