Beautiful female names necessarily contain a certain mystery and mystery. They fill their owners with femininity, tenderness and wisdom.
Beautiful Russian names have different origins - Greek, Scandinavian, Slavic. This list can also include Catholic names, in which Russian parents also show interest. And although most of these names have an Orthodox analogue, focused on the sound in the Russian language, this does not prevent European names from appearing in the lists of beautiful female names among young Russian women.
Most Russian female names, which are considered beautiful, are also the most popular. In modern times, both rare and foreign names are added to this list, some of which were initially given only to “our own” (Muslim women, for example, or Jewish women). By origin they cannot be called Russian, but recently Russian girls have also been called such names (Maryam, Eileen, Nicole). New trends make some adjustments to the list of favorite names for girls, but in general it remains unchanged for several years.
In Islam, the birth of a child is a sacred event, and Muslims are very responsible in choosing a name. Women's names among Muslims are designed to determine the main feature of a person. For example, Jamila means "beautiful" and Asiya means "naughty".
A large number of names for Jewish women are related to the Bible. And to this day these names are in common use among them. Names that come from the Yiddish language are considered to be the most beautiful Jewish names. An example is the fairly widespread Reize (meaning “rose”) and Liebe (translated as “beloved”).
Recently, Israelis and other Jews have also been choosing simply beautiful-sounding combinations for their girls. For this reason, completely unusual names appear that have nothing to do with Jewish traditions. It is here that a shortened name can gain independence: Esti can be a full name among Jews, while in Europe it is a common affectionate title for Esther.
Modern beautiful female names
Modern names have great variety. These are not only traditional (most often religious), but also completely new, sometimes invented, sometimes well-forgotten old names. At the same time, it cannot be said that the preferences of Europeans will be identical to the tastes of Russians or Asians. There are many peoples of different cultures, religious denominations and historical roots living in Russia, respectively, and there will be no consensus on what names for girls will be considered modern and beautiful at the same time.
A similar picture exists in Europe and the USA, where various people live on a vast territory. And the list of beautiful female names for English women will be strikingly different from the melodic Bulgarians or Swedes.
The most recognizable in the world are Italian female names ending with the endings “-a” and “-e”. In modern Italy, the names Violetta and Lucrezia are very common.
In Spain, officially female names can consist of two first and last names, but in fact girls are given as many names as their parents want. The most popular in this country today are Maria, Carmen and Camilla. Most Spanish names are associated with religion, just like the Germans, by the way.
Today in Germany the popularity of diminutives and shortened double names is growing. For example, Kate or Anna-Marie. One of the modern beautiful German names is the name Mia, which appeared as an abbreviation for Maria, and began to be actively used in the last decades of the twentieth century. Since 2007, an increasing number of newborn German women have been given this name; it is considered beautiful and sonorous. A modern competitor in beauty, Hannah (similar to the name Anna), is also competing for the love of German parents and is considered one of the most beautiful modern names in the world.
Beautiful Russian female names
Russian names enjoy a certain interest outside their country. Many short and affectionate names in their homeland have become full-fledged names abroad. Very “Russian”, according to foreigners, the names Natasha, Tanya and Sasha are now heard quite often with an American or Brazilian accent.
But in Russia itself, they currently prefer to adhere to centuries-old traditions - they take Christian or Slavic names, although there are fashion trends here too. Modern Russian female names include not only Orthodox, but also others - Catholic, Slavic, Roman. Although before the baptism of Rus' the people did not have full names, everyone got by with nicknames.
Ancient Russian names most often represented a description of the most striking feature of its owner, and they were given to the girl when she became a teenager, or rather, for that time, suitable for future marriage. And they did not always become a girl’s adornment; sometimes it only emphasized her shortcomings or birth order. Now, of course, such names are not used at all, and preference is given to sonorous, beautiful Slavic names - Lyubava, Lada, Bogdana, Milena.
Modern beautiful Russian female names. Orthodox names are currently becoming most widespread among Russian female names. They occupy the first lines of the popularity rating among Russian names, as well as the first lines of the rating of beautiful female names. Anastasia, Ekaterina, Maria and Sophia firmly hold the top positions, but less common, and sometimes even forgotten over the last 50 years, names are also appearing - Angelina, Veronica, Varvara and others.
The greatest variety of beautiful Russian female names can be found in cities with a population of over a million, where different cultures come into contact. It is here that the difference between a super-modern and a very old name is least noticeable: everything seems so new that sometimes you don’t understand whether this is a tribute to fashion or an already established trend of returning to antiquity.
It is in big cities that a real foreign name can sound like “Russian”. The name Christina was used in Catholic Europe, but its Orthodox analogue (Christina) is considered in Russia a relic of past centuries and is found almost nowhere. Now he has a chance - the European analogue, Christina, has begun to win Russian hearts. The name Alice is of German origin, and now it is already in the top 10 most popular and, apparently, most beautiful names - after all, modern parents will not give their daughters an ugly and intimidating name!

The most beautiful female names
According to world statistics, Anna firmly holds the leading position in the number of girls, girls and women bearing this name. In recent years, the no less famous name Maria has been stepping on his heels, but so far has not been able to move him from the pedestal. Based on this, two names - Anna and Maria - can be considered the most beautiful modern female names on the entire planet.
But don’t think that now every second girl will be called that way. Various countries around the world have their own list of the most beautiful female names, most of which are very popular in their own country, although not always of “native” origin. Thus, English female names have become very popular among Russians. The list of the most popular British names includes the names Elizabeth, Ani, Louise. Slavic names in the last century were quite popular in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and since the late 80s of the last century they have gained popularity in Russia.
In Greece, women's names were chosen with the aim of protecting their owner from troubles and troubles. The Greeks invented more and more new female names. Such names as Aphrodite, Aurora, and Barbara came to our country from Greece.
The French give girls several names. But this combination is used in full only in official documents, and in life, French women use only one of them. According to tradition, French girls are given names in honor of their maternal and paternal grandmothers (for the first daughter), the second child is already named after their mothers. Currently, this tradition is not often followed - in France, “non-French” names are in fashion (usually English, American). Short ones, formed from full ones - Theo, Loïc, Sasha, Natasha, are also very popular and loved among the French. The spelling of French female names has changed - the ending “-a” has been added (Eva instead of Eve, Celia instead of Celie), but no changes have appeared in the Russian pronunciation. These are the names that are currently considered the most beautiful in France.
In France now you can often find beautiful female Muslim names, but still more among Arabic-speaking residents. Borrowed foreign names are extremely popular in this country, but they are still perceived by the French as “foreign” - Karla, Axel, Lea, Lola.
It is quite difficult to trace the popularity trend in American names. They are very diverse in the USA. There are even girls named after some event or area where they were born. American names also mostly have biblical origins. Americans have very independent tastes depending on the state, but several of the names listed in the table below are considered attractive girl names by American women in almost every state.
Among the beautiful Japanese female names, new ones began to appear, which sound similar to European ones, but which are written in hieroglyphs and do not depart from Japanese traditions. They began to be considered beautiful not only from the point of view of Europeans, but also from the point of view of the Japanese. Favorite names for Japanese girls are not identical to Chinese ones, and are completely far from the preferences of American or English girls.

Beautiful rare female names
Many parents today strive to give a rare name to their daughter, because this is one of the modern trends and an opportunity to stand out from the crowd. This is how single names appear that, perhaps, you will not hear anywhere else. Often rare names are borrowed from the cultures of other peoples or ancient ones that are no longer in use are taken. In an effort to name their child something unusual, parents are increasingly choosing foreign names.
The name Emma, common and native to the English, will be considered rare in Russia. Sasha - a favorite among the short Russian names Alexander and Alexandra - in the United States will be perceived exclusively as a female full name.
Zoya is quite rare in Russia, but in France it is a fairly common name, ten years ago it took 6th place in the country’s ranking. The name Laura cannot be found in Russia; in Spain, every tenth girl is given this name. The beautiful name Daria currently does not leave the top five most common in Russia, but in Europe and the Americas it is found only as a foreign, rare name.
Beautiful unusual female names. In Russia, foreign names are often called unusual. This group includes names of European origin - Ophelia, Serena, Francesca, Paola, Iris. But Russians will also be rare for Russians, more often the almost forgotten Zinaida, Claudia, Fedora, Domna.
Invented names can also be classified as unusual. They are very, very rare and rarely become publicly known. Somewhat more often, invented names can be found in the USA - Dakota, Chelsea, although in Russia you can also find several such examples - Astra, Stella, and they are not necessarily of Russian origin. During Soviet times, many unusual names were invented, but most of them did not catch on.
The table below shows names that are rare and unusual for a given nation, but at the same time they may be quite widespread among other nations and not be considered rare there.
Each nation has its own ideas about the most beautiful female names, because different languages have their own peculiarities of pronunciation of words, and not everyone has the same criteria for female beauty.
A popular female name, Anna, which sounds differently in different countries. In English this is Ann, the diminutive version is Annie, Nancy. The Germans, in addition to the usual sound for us, use Hanna and Anchen, the French - Annette, Anouk, the Italians - Aneta and Annuzza, the Poles - Ganna.
Names sometimes evoke associations associated with close or familiar people or certain circumstances, which also leaves an individual imprint on their perception.
Scientists note that the choice of name is greatly influenced by fashion, cinema, political events and much more. After the flight of the first woman into space in the USSR, the name Valentina remained at the peak of popularity for several years.
In the 60s, after watching the film “Angelica, Marquise of Angels”, calling her daughter by this name, every mother was sure that her child would grow up to be a beauty and marry a count. In the 90s, people turned to their roots and origins, and Old Russian names came into fashion: Vasilina, Daria, Ulyana.
The difficulty with native Russian names is that after so many centuries it is difficult to determine their true origin. Modern scientists have been able to establish that Old Russian names can safely include those with the root “slava” or “mila”: Boguslava, Yaroslava, Miroslava and others.
As for the names Anna, Daria, Maria, they are ancient Greek, Roman, or Hebrew. It is interesting that in the Roman Empire girls were called by their father's name: Claudia - Father Claudius, Julia - Father Julius. If there were several daughters, then they were simply given numbers: Second - second, Tertsia - third.

Forgotten names. Forgotten and rare female names and their meaning

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters use our name, our email addresses for their mailings, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magic forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for performing magic rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in written form, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many people are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to slander decent people. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!

Russian language belongs to the group of Slavic languages. However, many Russian names by their origin they are not originally Russian. They are borrowed from the Greek language along with the Christian religion. Before this, Russians had names that reflected the various characteristics and qualities of people, their physical disabilities, and names that reflected the order of birth of children in the family. There were common names such as Wolf, Cat, Sparrow, Birch, First, Tretyak, Bolshoi, Menshoi, Zhdan. A reflection of these names is observed in modern Russian surnames Tretyakov, Nezhdanov, Menshov, etc.
With the introduction of Christianity in Rus', all the old Russian names were gradually replaced by church names that came to Rus' from Byzantium. Among them, in addition to the Greek names themselves, there were ancient Roman, Hebrew, Syrian, Egyptian names, each of which in its native language reflected a certain meaning, but when borrowed it was used only as a proper name, and not as a word denoting something.
By the 18th-19th centuries, Old Russian names were already completely forgotten, and Christian names largely changed their appearance, adapting to the peculiarities of Russian pronunciation. Thus, the name Diomede was transformed into the name Demid, Jeremiah - Eremey, etc.
After the October Socialist Revolution, names associated with the new ideology became widespread: Revmira (peace revolution), Diamara (dialectical materialism); names reflecting the first stages of industrialization: Electrina, Elevator, Diesel, Ram (revolution, electrification, mechanization); names read in foreign novels: Alfred, Rudolf, Arnold; names based on the names of flowers: Lily, Rose, Aster.
Since the 1930s, such familiar ones have become widespread again. Russian names like Masha, Vladimir, Seryozha, i.e. the names closest to the Russian people are used. But this return to the old names does not at all mean a return to all the names of the church calendar, most of which remained unaccepted by the Russian nation.
