Hello, loyal readers of my blog, welcome back to my blog. In my previous article I discussed an article entitled "The Meaning of a Name" right? And in my second article I will still discuss the same theme, namely NAME but another title with before, this time the title of my second article is "Naming Tradition".
Every nation must have a different naming tradition. Many uniqueness and distinctiveness of every nation. One of them is the Russian naming tradition that I will explain in this article. Russian names generally consist of 3 parts, namely: first name, middle name and surname. Middle names and surnames have been available since they were born. Therefore, parents only give 1 child their name.
*Russian People
1. First Name
There are some of the most common and popular Russian names not only in the country but also in the World. One of the most common and popular names is Ivan, even the name is often used as a nickname to refer to Russian men.
Other common and popular Russian male names include Vladimir, Dmitry, Boris, Igor, Nikolay, Sergey, Alexander, Roman, Mikhail and Viktor.
While the most common and popular female names include: Svetlana, Natalya, Anastasia, Tatyana, Lyudmila, Yulya and Ekaterina
One of the peculiarities of Russian names is the diminutive form of their first name. Diminutive is a word that has little meaning, in this context what is meant is a little name or a favorite call. This favorite nickname or call is generally used in family and friendship circles, in an unofficial setting.
Here's an example of a nickname or favorite call:
Aleksandr becomes Sasha, Sanya, Shurik, Shura, Aleksandrushka
Dmitrii becomes Dima, Mitya, Dimulya
Nataliya became Natasha, Nata, Talia, Natulia, Tashenka
Elena became Lena, Lenulia, Lenusia
2. Middle Name
The Russian middle name is what is called patronomyc. Patronomyc is a component of names taken from the father's name. Giving a middle name taken from the name of this father is inseparable from the patriarchal culture of the thick Russian people.
During the Ryurik Dynasty, the addition of -ich on "otchestvo" was only allowed by the nobility. Since the 19th century, after the abolition of slavery in Russia, it was only possible to use the common people.
The naming system is as follows:
The male middle name ends with –ovich or –evich, for example: Sergey becomes Sergeyevich
The woman's middle name ends with –ovna or –evna, for example Sergey becomes Sergeyevna
3. Family Name (Marga)
The Russian family name is very typical and is only similar to some Slavic families. The peculiarities of the Russian surname can be seen from the suffix of the name.
Here's an example:
End with –ov, for example: Ivanov. For women to be Ivanova
End with –in, for example: Pushkin. For women to be Pushkina
End with -oi (or oy), for example: Tolstoi (Tolstoy). For women to become Tolstaia (Tolstaya)
End with –ii (or y), for example: Dostoevskii (Dostoevsky). For women to be Dostoevskaia (Dostoevskaya)
Currently there are some parents in Russia who give their children first names with foreign names instead of Russian or Slavic names. However, they still use the naming system with 3 names consisting of first name, middle name (derived from father's name) and surname.
So many historical traditions of giving someone a name in the country of Russia, Thank you for reading and hopefully useful.
