All name day dates and patrons of the name Daria in Orthodoxy

At baptism, girls are named after the calendar of Darius. As such, the Orthodox name Daria is absent from the calendar. Therefore, Angel Day for girls and women with such names are considered the days when saints with the name Darius are honored.

In Orthodoxy, the name of Darius is honored 5 times a year. Moreover, each time different saints with this name are glorified, and on August 18 there is the feast of the 2 New Martyrs.

On the remaining days of Daria, according to the calendar, you can congratulate Dasha on her small name day.

In the Catholic calendar, Darius of Rome is celebrated on October 25th. Therefore, Catholics celebrate the name day named Daria only once a year, regardless of the date of birth of the culprit.

Characteristics of the birthday girl Daria:

A very sonorous and very beautiful, energetically powerful ancient name. Its roots go so deep into the past that it is difficult to even determine its origin. It is usually interpreted as the feminine form of the name of three kings of the ancient Persian dynasty (VI-IV centuries BC), who entered our history as Darius (ancient Greek Dareiros). Translated from Persian, Daria means (literally) strong, conquering.

In Greek mythology, the name Dar (dan), similar in sound and meaning, belongs to the son of the supreme god Zeus and the galaxy of Electra Dar (dan) founded the city of the same name and ruled in it. Subsequently, Dar (dan) founded a number of cities - the Dardania region.

In Greece of those times, another Darius (Dares, Daret) is known - a priest at the temple of the god of fire and blacksmithing, Hephaestus. Dares entered ancient history as one of the first (pre-Homeric) authors of the famous poem about the Trojan battle of the Hellenes - the Iliad. The name with the root “gift” - Daruma - is also revered in Japan as a saint who brings happiness and fulfills wishes.

A name closer in sound to the modern Daria - Dasa (Dasya, Dasyu) is also known in India. Here it belongs to demons, and Dasha (ratha) in India is the ancient name of a king who was the father of a large dynasty of gods, including Rama, one of the most revered gods in India.

However, all these names - our Daria's great-great-grandfathers - belong to men everywhere. It is difficult to say how and why it has turned into the tender Dashenka in our time. Maybe thanks to the “sunny” auspicious Rama? In principle, now it no longer matters. Among the Eastern Slavs, Dasha is one of the most popular names, at all times, including at the beginning of the third millennium.

Modern Daryushkas are mostly self-confident, independent, proud women with an integral nature. They never “spray” themselves over trifles - they know how to set a clear goal for themselves, determine methods (and worthy ones) for achieving it. Dasha has been organized since childhood, loves order and cleanliness in the house. Don’t think that Dashenka is a bore. No, this is a cheerful, kind, ordinary girl. Only she knows how to fend for herself on her own, without mom and dad. She will not “reach” for a word in her pocket where it is necessary to put a boorish wit in her place.

She is not an excellent student, but she studies well and does not cram, as she has a good memory and can quickly grasp the essence of things. Therefore, she achieves much greater success in the professional field than some excellent students. Dasha is not a prude. She will not gossip about other people's past sins. For her, the main thing is what kind of person is now, what kind of person he is in general: evil or fair, kind or greedy. The family has a wonderful housewife, wife and mother. Hospitable, loves to have fun. Knows how to create a festive atmosphere.

And when your legs get tired from worries, let him pick you up in his arms. They say that with the kiss of an angel a person receives talents. I wish you to be kissed. And so that you don’t waste them, but use them for good. I love you".

The Irish have Darren “rocky mountain”, in Persia - Darius “winner”, in Muslim countries - Darina/. It is interesting that in European countries this is a male name - Deri, Darrin.

In Russia, the name Darina is a feminine name; in the USSR it was often associated with Daria (Dasha), although in terms of meaning and energy the semantic load of these names is completely different.

• Daria means “winner” and the beginning of this name has its origins in ancient Persia.
• Darina - from the Slavic root “dar”, means “gift of the gods”, “given by life”, the meaning of the name is a happy long-awaited “gift” of God.

This ancient Slavic name endows the owner with the great power of nature, the strongest energy of Slavic beliefs, directly related to the veneration of the forces of Nature. The origin of the name is associated with the understanding of the birth of a child as a gift from the gods of nature and Genesis.

She feels the need to show care and guardianship over her loved ones, a diligent and attentive mother, a loving and devoted wife. It often happens that the first marriage of a girl named Daria breaks up, this is only if the family was created at a young age.

She is jealous, but she doesn’t like this feeling, it depresses her and ruins the relationship. She has a lot of patience and endurance, her husband shouldn’t use it, because at one point she will simply leave without clarifying the relationship. Happily married to men with the following names: Mikhail, Ivan, Evgeniy, Arthur, Miron. At the age of 25 - 27, Daria begins to rethink her life, the philosopher awakens in her and she can make dramatic changes in her life. For example, get a second education, which is completely opposite to the first.

The time of year in which Dashenka was born is also of great importance. Winter and autumn Dashenkas are calm, their actions are measured and well thought out. But summer and spring girls are more quick-tempered and emotional, easily susceptible to mood, but at the same time cheerful and powerful.
