What is the correct name for relatives?

Who is related to whom?

If you don't have an aunt, or To have or not to have

This book is about relatives. Nice, warm word...

Happy is the man who has many relatives! He is not alone, he knows what the warmth of a home, pride in children and the wisdom of parents are; he is looking forward to the next family holiday and is not afraid of being lonely in old age.

But on the other hand, how good it is if no one pesters you with their wise advice, if you don’t have to worry about the problems that children cause, if no one teaches you how to “live” and doesn’t rashly threaten you with deprivation of your inheritance.

Here’s a paradox: relatives sometimes get tired of each other, and lonely people dream of taking care of someone. Today they increasingly say that it is easier to live alone: there are fewer problems. But not so long ago, families were large, when several generations of close and distant relatives lived under one roof or in the same neighborhood. People of the same kind were united by common interests and values. We still say: “He looks like his uncle; the spitting image of grandma.” We no longer know whether the child resembles his great-grandfather. The circle of relatives has narrowed: mother, father, grandmother, grandfather, brother, sister... The further the relationship, the more difficult it is to determine who is “the seventh water on jelly.” But the real confusion begins after the wedding, when new relatives appear.

The terminology of kinship is complex and today is thoroughly forgotten. In everyday life, we use no more than ten of the most well-known definitions and are sometimes forced to resort to verbal heaps: “He is my husband’s brother, she is my husband’s brother’s wife.” But in the Russian language, each relative has its own name, and behind each name there are centuries-old ideas, a culture of relationships, and family history. Not every nation can afford such a luxury.

There are three groups of kinship ties:

- immediate relatives - blood relationship,

- relatives - relationship by marriage,

- and, finally, non-family ties.

Before looking into the dictionary of kinship relations, let's try to understand the complex picture of intertwined kinship ties.

The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, or blood kinship

If the parents are common, then the relationship is blood. Blood relatives are the closest people. Special family traits affect the way of life and the choice of profession. Blood relatives have characteristic external features. The family resemblance manifested in children is especially touching. “What does a newborn look like?” - one of the most important questions. It seems impossible to get confused in this relationship. Mother, father, uncle, aunt, brother, sister... But even here there is reason to think.

Brothers and sisters

In one generation, the people closest to each other are brothers and sisters. If you are an only child, you have no blood relatives in your generation. Brothers and sisters can be blood, blood, or full blood if they have both a mother and a father in common. Or half-blooded - born from the same father. Or half-uterine - born from the same mother, but from different fathers.

Echoes of how close the bond between brother and sister is can be found in ancient folk customs, riddles, and proverbs. The blue-yellow forest flower Ivan-da-Marya had a different name - brother-and-sister. At her sister’s wedding, her brother sat next to the bride for “protection” from the groom, who had to pay him a ransom for his future wife. In a bratin (a copper or wooden half-bucket bowl) drinks, beer, and kvass were distributed to the entire brethren and poured into wooden cups and glasses.

Camaraderie, friendship, affection, close connection - all this is defined by the word “brotherhood”. And with the words brother, brother, they address not only relatives, but also friends, comrades, like-minded people, participants in a common cause.

Fathers and Sons

The closest family connection exists between parents and children. Father, mother, son, daughter - people from two neighboring generations - are closest to each other.

We say: Mother Earth, Motherland, Mother Volga. Even strangers honor older women as mother or matushka.

In popular belief, a father is the eldest, the first, the main one, deserving of respect, wise.

Father's house, father's love, fatherland, fatherland - words with a common root. The word “father” has long been forgotten - this is how the son and family heir of his father were called.

For a man, as a rule, the birth of a son is a reason for special male pride. To this day, a man who only has daughters is sometimes called a “marriage-maker.” It was believed that the son was a parental assistant, and the daughter would leave the parental home and go to live with her husband. Oddly enough, these prejudices are still alive today.

Grandfathers and grandmothers, grandchildren and granddaughters

Grandfather, grandfather - father of a parent;

grandmother, grandmother - mother of the parent;

grandson - son of a child;

granddaughter - the daughter of a child.

Happy are families in which grandparents help raise children. There is nothing more selfless than love for grandchildren. In the traditional view, grandmother is a round, kind old lady. Maybe that’s why culinary experts call babka a tender, airy pastry, like Easter cake, baked in a tall pan.

Grandfathers dream of seeing their dreams come true, their continuation, in their grandchildren. Different types of burdock and thistle are popularly called grandfather or grandfather. Probably not by chance. Grandfathers love to remember the same things and repeat the same story.

Great-grandparents

Our great-grandmothers lived not by light, but by family and home.

Great-grandfathers and great-grandmothers are not so common these days. To become “great”, you need to give birth to children, raise grandchildren and wait for the birth of your grandchildren’s children. The prefix “pra” is added to words in order to emphasize ancient origin. So the first owner of something was called the right owner or right owner. The peasants called unharvested carrion rye, which grew by self-sowing and yielded a harvest in the second year, “great-carrion.”

The parents of the great-grandfather and great-grandmother are called ancestors and great-great-grandmothers, the even older generation is called great-great-great-great-grandfathers, and the oldest generation is called great-great-great-grandfathers. Nowadays, most people have vague ideas about the ancient predecessors of the family - their ancestors. And they even get offended if children call them this ancient word. But in vain.

Uncles, aunts and nephews

If your parents had a brother or sister, then for you they will be an uncle or aunt. And their children will be your cousins, or, as they sometimes say, cousins. These are also blood relatives, but not as close as direct blood relatives, therefore, what happens between cousins is not family affection, but real passion. And then there are second cousins (from cousins, uncles or aunts), fourth cousins (from second cousins), and so on brothers and sisters.

Your uncle's wife will be your aunt, and your aunt's husband will be your uncle. This relationship is not blood. Uncles and aunts most often become godparents for their nephews.

There are also little aunts and even a great aunt - you will find out who is so called by reading the Dictionary of Family Relations.

“Uncles” in Rus' were treated with respect. Previously, a teacher was assigned to care for or supervise the child - he was called an uncle. And every recruit in the regiment had an uncle - a mentor from old soldiers. The first barge hauler pulling the barge was called uncle. At weddings in the central regions of Russia, the groom's father was called "uncle." The bride's uncle took part in the wedding ceremony: he held a scarf in front of her while her braid was unbraided.

Nephews are people of your family, your tribe. This is what they said about a clan in which there are many tribes: a tribal clan. And about a person from a large family - a tribal family man. Who can now guess who was previously called brother or sister or sister? But we are talking about a nephew, if he is the son of a brother, and a niece, if she is the daughter of a sister. The sister's son was formerly called netiy, and the brother's daughter was called bro. If your spouse's brother or sister has a daughter or son, they will also be considered your nephews.

Godfather - closer than your own

If you become a girl's godfather, this is an important event. Now you are entrusted with the responsibilities of her spiritual education. After all, christening is, first of all, the internal rebirth of a person, the beginning of his turning to God. You know that for your goddaughter’s parents you are godfather, and that’s already good. Spiritual kinship is much stronger than blood: it is an internal connection between you and your goddaughter. We usually feel an inner attachment to people. It is impossible to explain, but it occurs in the person being baptized and the godfather (godmother) immediately after this sacrament.

Therefore, speaking in church language, for your newly-made daughter you are not just a godfather: you are her dad. Previously, in Rus' there was a wonderful custom: children called their godparents “mom” and “dad”. If the blood parents died, the godfather had to take their child into his family. Many people have kept this tradition to this day.

But we digress a little. Now we know that your goddaughter is not just a goddaughter, but a real daughter. You can tell her that if she is already an adult. Your goddaughter will definitely like the fact that she has three, or even four parents (if she has a godmother).

If your goddaughter is still small, be sure to visit the nearest children's store and buy an interesting toy for her. The baby will definitely feel your good disposition and will rejoice at your arrival every time.

Who is who's godfather?

The child’s father will also be your godfather. Well, both women (actual and godmother) can now call each other “godmother,” just as you can do the same to them. It turns out that two women and two men after christening become godfathers and godfathers in relation to each other.
