Ukrainian female names. Russian-Ukrainian dictionary of personal names Transcarpathian names

22.07.2023

Ukrainian names in their origin are not much different from Russian ones. As a state, Ukraine exists quite recently, and the sources of names remain the same as before. They date back to the era of pre-Mongol Rus, and their differences from Russians lie mainly in pronunciation and degree of prevalence. This is due to the fact that rural traditions have become the basis of Ukrainian culture, and the language, in fact, is a phonetic record of local dialects.

Despite the fact that Ukrainian names for the most part correspond to Russian ones, they have a number of features associated with the development of the language and the long stay of different parts of Ukraine under the rule of other states. These differences can be summarized as follows:

the predominance of folk forms over church ones;
wider use of Slavic names;
the influence of neighboring peoples both on the pronunciation of the name and on its diminutive form.

Baptismal or calendar names

They came to Rus' from Byzantium, and in their origin were Greek, Jewish and Latin. It was difficult for the Slavs to get used to them - differences in phonetics affected. For example, in Rus' there were no sounds [f] and [θ], the pronunciation was dominated by an okane, and long words were not held in high esteem.

On the territory of Russia, the sound [f] appeared after the final consonants were stunned, but this did not happen in Ukraine.

By the 16th century, Ѣ began to disappear, moreover, in Russia it was replaced by [e], and in Ukraine by [i].

When Ukraine was part of the Russian Empire, the calendar name was written in its full form, but if a Russian even in the city took it for granted, it was difficult for a resident of Ukraine to get used to it, and after the Ukrainian language was codified in the USSR, pronunciation names were recorded phonetically.

For example, among Ukrainian male names, the list abounds with names starting with O: Oleksiy in Ukrainian Oleksiy and Oleksa, Alexander - Oleksandr and Oles, Evstafiy - Ostap, Athanasius - Opanas and Panas. Andrew in Ukrainian - Ondry, although now Andriy is more common.

F and fita were replaced by [p], [t] and [v]: this can be seen from the names of Eustathius and Athanasius. Among women it is possible to note:

Thekla - Veklya and Teklya;
Theodora - Pidorka;
Euphrosyne had the diminutives Pronya and Prisya.

In recent decades, Ukraine has name-related passport problem. This was partly a consequence of the rules introduced for filling out foreign passports. They write down the name according to standard transliteration, which is why the national version recorded in a civil passport can play a cruel joke with the owner of the name.

In the USSR, the name in the national republics was not transcribed when it came to the Ukrainian and Belarusian languages. That is, Nadiya Volodimirovna in the Russian version became Nadezhda Vladimirovna. And it seemed normal to everyone. Now the owners of the calendar names are faced with the fact that these names, it turns out, are different.

How good it is is unknown. The owners of such names, if they have not changed beyond recognition, believe that the name is one, and its spelling is a third matter. That is, Catherine will not mind if in Ukraine she is recorded as Catherine, but in the passport as Catherine. But officials don't think so..

The dictatorship of the Ukrainian form is also experienced by those who want to insist on a national version if it is not Ukrainian.

Old Russian heritage in names

As mentioned earlier, the use of pre-Christian names in Ukraine is more common than in Russia. An interesting fact is that such names can have both male and female forms, which are not common in Russia. This is partly due to Polish influence, and another reason was the long stay of Ukrainians outside the legal field of the Russian Empire, where for some time it was not allowed to give non-calendar names. They, of course, were in use, but they were not recorded in the documents. In Ukraine, the situation is different..

Among such names, one can recall male Volodymyr, Vladislav, Yaroslav, Stanislav, Miroslav, Bogdan, and the last four have female forms. The name Miroslava is more common among women.

Old and new foreign language influence

It was observed in border areas and in places where a mixed population lived. First of all, this concerns the western regions, which have been part of different states throughout history. These influences include:

Slovak
Hungarian;
Moldovan and Romanian;
German;
Polish.

More often this affected diminutive variants of names, but full variants are also fixed. These names include male Tibor, Pishta, Dats, Vili, Rudy, female Bronislava, Zhuzha (Hungarian version of Susanna), Lyana, Aurika. Typical Czech and Slovak names are Bozena, Milos, Radomir, Draga.

The new time also made its contribution, and among Ukrainians, as well as Russians, Roberts, Arthurs, Zhannas, Alberts and Arnolds appeared.

Name in Ukrainian and its variants

The most obvious way to compare Ukrainian and Russian names is in the table.

Name	Russian variant	Ukrainian	diminutive forms
Anna	Anna	Ganna	Anya, Ganya, Nyura, Nutsa (Rom.)
Elena	Alena, Elena	Olena	Olya, Lyalya, Gelya
Maria	Maria	Maria, Marusya	Marusya, Marichka (carp)
Hope	Hope	Nadia	Nadiya, Nadiya
Evdokia	Avdotya	Yavdokha, Vivdia	Dusya, Dosya, Dunya
Miroslava		Miroslava	Miros
Ksenia	Xenia, Aksinya	Oksana	Oksana
Irina	Irina, Arina	Orina	Ira, Yarusya, Orisya
Evgeniya	Evgeniya	Yugina, Їvga	Zhenya, Genya, Zvgochka, Yuginka
Anton	Anton	Antin	Antinko, Toska
George	George, Egor, Yuri	George, Yuri, Yurko	Zhora, Gosh, Yuras, Yurko, Yurash
Dmitriy	Dmitriy	Dmitro	Dmitrus, Mitko
Dorotheus	Dorotheus	Dorosh	Dorosh
Nicholas	Nicholas	Mykola	Mikolka, Kolya
Nikita	Nikita	Mikita	Mikitko
Peter	Peter	Petro	Petrus, Petrik, Petko
Philip	Philip	Pilip	Pilipok, Pilipets
Thomas	Thomas	homa	Khomko, Tomus

Of course, these options are exaggerated. Names can be written in both Russian and Ukrainian transliteration, and diminutive forms can differ significantly. Both in Russian and in Ukrainian, there are two spellings of the name Natalya: Natalya and Nataliya. The name Yuri has long been independent and is not attached to George. The same can be said about the name Eugene and its derivatives.

Distribution and data of the registry office

Today it is difficult to judge which names in Ukraine are the most common. Statistics could not be found. Recently, registry offices began to let her down only by the names given to newborns. And if you look at them carefully, you can see a tendency to write names in a form close to the calendar.

Ukrainians, like Russians, pay little attention to how the name is translated from the original language. The main selection criterion is fashion and whether the name fits the surname and patronymic. The gender of the child also matters. Ukrainian names for boys are not particularly noticeable, girls get rare and beautiful ones. However, when there are five Anastasias in one kindergarten group, it starts to annoy.

For 2015, the names of girls have the following data:

For male names, the summary is even more interesting. Among the names of Ukrainian modern beautiful boys (if you look at what Russians and Ukrainians mean by the word "beautiful" when talking about a name), there are practically no:

As you can see, the desire to make the name universal prevails over the desire for national orthography.

Rules for reading Ukrainian names

The Ukrainian alphabet is slightly different from the Russian one, but the differences are important when reading. If you look closely at the list of popular names, you will notice that in different variants of names there is a use of different letters. It has to do with reading. In principle, it will not be difficult to remember some rules:

e is read as [e];
Є - [ye];
and - [s];
i - [and];
ї - [yi].

Knowing this, you can write your name correctly so that it is read correctly.

For example, [n'ik'ita] will be written as Nikita, not Nikita - with this transliteration, it will be read as [nykyta].

No matter how the name is written, it is important to remember: the main thing is that the person be good, and the name can be changed.

Attention, only TODAY!

Ukrainian names. Ukrainian female names

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 mailing lists, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they drag people into various magical forums and deceive (giving advice and recommendations that can harm, or extorting money for magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic).

On our sites, we do not provide links to magical forums or sites of magical healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations by phone, we do not have time for this.

Note! We are not engaged in healing and 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 writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books.

Sometimes people write to us that on some sites they saw information that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander, not true. In all our lives, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our site, in the materials of the club, 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 time has come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and it is even easier to engage in slandering 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, about faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, he will never engage in deceit, slander, and fraud.

There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor, hungry for money. The police and other regulatory agencies are not yet able to cope with the increasing influx of "Cheat for profit" insanity.

So please be careful!

Sincerely, Oleg and Valentina Svetovid

UKRAINIAN MALE NAMES (CHOLOVICHI NAMES)

1. Here you will find almost 400 modern Ukrainian male names

(the table shows Russian passport names and their direct Ukrainian counterparts, as well as names for baptism in accordance with the calendar of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kiev Patriarchate, abbreviated as the UOC-KP).

2. Here you will also find information about the popularity of newborn names in Ukraine in 2018-2019(a note is given next to each name: Top 15, Top 30, Top 100 or ""very rare name"").

3. The materials in this section are based on official data from three profileinstitutions of Ukraine: Institute of Linguistics named after O.O. Potebnya of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine; Department of State Registration (Ukrderzhreestr) under the Ministry of Justice (as well as territorial departments of the registry office / DRACS); Publishing Department of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Kyiv Patriarchate // Institute of Education named after Oleksandr Opanasovich Potebnya of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine; State Registration Department (Ukrderzhreєstr) - a detailed list of books, articles, documents and references is at the end of the section.

This page of the site contains about 400 Ukrainian male names, the most known to us from life, fiction and history. The list is large, but not all names from it can be found in today's newborns.According to the regional registry office / DRATS of Ukraine, only 100-120 male names are in active use.

The most popular names today are divided into three groups: Top 15 (this group includes the 15 most popular names among newborn boys throughout Ukraine), Top 30 (names that are in 16-30 places in the popularity rating, that is, names "included in the top thirty" popularity rating) and Top 100 (occupying 31-100 places, that is, names "included in the top hundred" of popular names among boys in Ukraine).

The remaining 300 names are classified as rare or very rare. "Rare names" are quite lively names, which, although not very often, are regularly registered in the registry offices / DRATS of Ukraine. A "very rare" names- these are names that have gone out of active use (if during the period from 2014 to 2016, not a single newborn with this name was registered by the registry offices / DRATSs throughout Ukraine, then we will consider it "very rare").

Ukrainian traditions of composing and naming

The list of Ukrainian names is close to Russian, as well as Belarusian, since all three peoples had common sources - these are both Orthodox saints and pagan names. The latter functioned for a long time on a par with church ones: in everyday life a person was called by the name that his parents gave him, pagan, and not the church. For example, Bohdan Khmelnitsky had a church name Zinovy, which was rarely mentioned anywhere. The ancestors of the Ukrainians believed that in this case a person would be protected by two different mystical principles - paganism and Christianity.

Over time, the names of the church calendar entered everyday life and began to be perceived as native. Under the influence of speech, church Ukrainian female names underwent phonetic changes, as a result of which their own variants appeared. So, borrowed Alexandra, Anna, Agripina turned into Oleksandr, Hann, Gorpin (in Ukrainian, the initial “a-” is transformed). The names that have the letter “f” in their composition also change: Theodore - Khved, Joseph - Yosip, Osip.

Historically, there was no sound f in the East Slavic languages, which is reflected in the already mentioned form "Opanas", as well as in the now obsolete version of the name Philip - Pilip. In folk speech, the letter “f” was usually replaced by “p” (Philip - Pilip), while “fita” was most often replaced by “t” (Theokla - Teklya, Theodosius - Todos, Fadey - Tadey).

Many names were formed with the help of diminutive suffixes: Leo - Levko, Varvara - Varka. At the same time, they were considered full-fledged names, which were used not only in everyday life, but also in official documents.

Modern Ukrainian male and female names consist of several types: names from the Orthodox calendar, as well as their folk and secular forms; Slavic names (Volodimir, Vladislav, Miroslav, Vsevolod, Yaroslav); names of the Catholic calendar (Casimir, Teresa, Wanda); borrowings from other languages (Albert, Zhanna, Robert, Karina).

Modern trends

The most popular female and male names in Ukraine were recorded: Danilo, Maxim, Mikita, Vladislav, Artem, Nazar, Darina, Sofia, Angelina, Diana.
In Ukraine, over the past few years, about 30 names have remained popular when registering children, the most common among which are the names Alexander and Anastasia.

At present, however, there are broad sections of people with a mixed Ukrainian-Russian identity who may prefer one or another variant of the name, which does not always coincide with the form declared by the nationality and language of the document. Therefore, now both Anna and Hanna write in passports; and Olena, and Alyon; and Natalya, and Natalia, depending on the desire of the carrier.

It should also be noted that many typical Ukrainian forms of Orthodox names, starting from the 1930s, in Soviet Ukraine were gradually replaced by their Russian or quasi-Russian counterparts, and were preserved only in the western regions. For example, in eastern Ukraine, instead of the traditional Ukrainian Todos, Todosіy, the Russified form Feodosіy is currently used.

Names that were not common among ordinary people before the beginning of the 20th century, for example, Viktor, have identical forms in Russian and Ukrainian.

Most often, Ukrainians choose among male names:

Alexander, Danil, Maxim, Vladislav, Nikita, Artem, Ivan, Kirill, Egor, Ilya, Andrey, Alexei, Bogdan, Denis, Dmitry, Yaroslav.

Among female names are more common:

Anastasia, Alina, Daria, Ekaterina, Maria, Natalia, Sofia, Julia, Victoria, Elizabeth, Anna, Veronica, Ulyana, Alexandra, Yana, Christina.

However, the sympathy of Ukrainians for strange or unusual names for Ukraine does not decrease either. So, recently, boys named Loammiy, Lenmar, Yustik, Ararat, Augustine, Zelay, Pietro, Ramis and girls named Elita, Navista, Piata, Eloria, Karabina, Yurdana have been registered.

The indicator of Ukrainians, who, at a conscious age, expressed a desire to change their own name, remains constant.

The Ukrainian name book is close to Russian and Belarusian, since the main sources of names for all three peoples were Orthodox saints and, to a lesser extent, the traditional circle of pagan Slavic names.

As you know, among the East Slavic peoples, pagan names for a long time functioned in parallel with the church ones. Receiving a church name at baptism, a person in everyday life used the traditional Slavic name given to him by his parents. Among Ukrainians, this custom lasted a very long time: for example, Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky bore a double name - Bogdan-Zinovy (the church name Zinovy was given at baptism, and the Slavic Bogdan acted as the main name).

However, the names from the church calendar gradually entered Ukrainian life and were no longer perceived as borrowed. At the same time, under the influence of folk speech, they underwent strong phonetic changes, and as a result, in parallel with the canonical church names, their secular and folk variants arose: Elena - Olena, Emilian - Omelyan, Glikeriya - Licker, Luker, Agripina - Gorpina (the same process took place also in Russian: cf. Elena - Alena, Emilian - Emelyan, Glykeria - Lukerya, Agrippina - Agrafena).

Like the Old Russian language, Ukrainian does not allow the initial a-, so the borrowed names Alexander, Alexey, Averky turned into Oleksandr, Oleksiy, Overkiy. Initially, the sound f, unusual for the Ukrainian language, in folk speech turned into p or hv: Theodore - Khvedir, Khved; Athanasius - Panas, Opanas; Evstafiy - Ostap; Yosif - Josip, Osip (although the forms Afanasiy, Evstafiy and Yosif are still used in parallel in the Ukrainian language). In Western dialects, the sound f, denoted in writing by "fitoy", turned into t: Theodore - Todor; Athanasius - Atanas.

Many folk forms were formed using diminutive suffixes: Grigory - Gritsko, Pelagia - Palazhka, Leo - Levko, Varvara - Varka. Nevertheless, despite their external "diminutiveness", they were perceived as full names. So, the sons of Bohdan Khmelnitsky were known among contemporaries under the names of Yurko (Yuras) and Timish, although their baptismal names were Yuri (Georgiy, Russian. Georgy) and Timofy (Russian. Timofey).

Modern Ukrainian names can be divided into several categories:

1) The most extensive layer is the already mentioned names from the Orthodox calendar and their folk and secular forms. Some names are predominantly common in folk form: Mikhailo, Ivan, Olena, Tetyana, Oksana, Dmitro (church Mikhail, Ioan, Elena, Tatiana, Xenia, Dimitri). Others are more common in the church (canonical) - Evgenia, Irina, Anastasia, although these names also have folk variants: Їvga / Yugina, Yarina / Orina, Nastasia / Nastka. Olesya and Lesya are very popular as passport names, initially - diminutive forms of the names Oleksandr and Larisa (the male version of Oles / Les is less common).

2) Slavic names: Vladislav, Volodymyr (Russian Vladimir), Miroslav, Yaroslav, Svyatoslav, Vsevolod, Stanislav. Note that in Ukraine Slavic names are more common than in Russia; female forms are also more often used: Yaroslava, Miroslava, Stanislava, Vladislava.

3) Names from the Catholic calendar, spread due to contacts with Catholic Poland and found mainly in the western regions of Ukraine: Tereza, Wanda, Witold, Casimir.

4) Names borrowed from other languages relatively recently: Alina, Alisa, Zhanna, Diana, Albert, Robert, Snezhana, Karina.
