Find out what secrets a person’s name hides, how to choose names for boys and girls according to the Saints, and what names the book for 2020 offers (a complete list of months and dates).
Name Secrets
Since olden times, people believed that a person’s name is inextricably linked with his fate. Giving the baby a name, parents not only give him a certain direction in life, but also provide the protection of the Guardian Angel (a saint whose name is given to the child).
People who are ordained to the mysteries of names and are able to predict the character by date of birth, assure that it is the right choice of name that often allows you to show the virtues given to a person from birth, or to balance not the best sides.
In ancient times, the only documents that stored data about people were church books. Accordingly, the names given to babies at baptism were used in everyday life. But, time makes its own adjustments and today distinguish between the concepts of “worldly” and “Christian” name.
- Worldly name recorded in metrics and official documents, and also used in everyday communication.
- Christian name give the child at baptism (and often even kept secret). It is believed that, not knowing the Christian name of a person, "enemies" will not be able to harm him.
Given this fact, do not be discouraged if the name that you want to name the baby or baby is not on the calendar of the Saints. Just choose the most suitable Christian name for the crumbs, following the simple rules.
Name selection
In Christianity, when choosing a name, it is customary to be guided by the Saints. This is a book on the pages of which all the names of the canonized saints and the dates on which their memory is worshiped are collected.
Almost every day of 2020 has its own patron (or even several), which makes it easy to choose names for the Saints for boys and girls. Many people have a question - what to do if there are no female (or male) patrons at all for the date of birth? According to the canons, parents have the right to choose names by dates that fall on:
- day of immediate birth of the child;
- 8th day from birth (according to ancient tradition, this is the day of the name);
- 40th day from birth (previously the babies were baptized on the fortieth day);
- day of the baptismal ceremony (if it is held at other times).
It is also worth considering that for a girl you can choose a name that is consonant with the man’s present in Svyattsy, for example: “Fedor - Fedora”, “Alexander - Alexandra”, “Julian - Juliana”, etc.
If several names appear on your date, you should learn more about each of the saints. The choice depends on individual preferences. Someone chooses the strongest, someone is guided by the deeds of the future patron saint, someone chooses the saint, whose icon is in the Temple, so that you can appeal to him in prayer. If you doubt your choice or find it difficult to make it yourself, ask for help from the priest who will conduct the sacrament of baptism.
