What is the human name? We only know what our parents call us, they enter him into a passport. Few people think that at the dawn of mankind they knew that the name is not only a distinctive set of sounds, but also a secret, non -accidental part of the very essence of man, serves as the driving force of his fate. That is why the name of the name was a ritual act of creation.
From ancient times, shamans and sorcerers of various cultures and peoples, dedicating to their secrets of one or another person, gave him a new name, sometimes so sacred that a person did not reveal it to anyone even in the face of death. The echoes of those customs remained in our cultures in the form of religious sacraments (naming a name in the traditions of Islam, or baptism in Orthodoxy).
The book that you hold in your hands is not a reference of names and not a short dictionary of their meanings.
This is a real fundamental author’s work that illuminates the most popular names that exist in our country.
Each name in the book is a journey deep into history, acquaintance with our ancestors and events of antiquity.
A fascinating description of each name, the analysis of each from the point of view of word formation, the listing of diminutive and other forms will give the reader the most complete idea of each of the names.
Name - like clean clothes, does not stand dirt. The name cannot be washed like clothes. And therefore it should be protected by a young man, as his honor, as his conscience. Your name is you
