The ancient word is the influence of a name on a person’s fate. How a name affects fate

A case from one's life.

A married couple lived in a neighboring house on our street. Elena and Alexander were friendly, friendly, sympathetic young people. Everything was going well for them, everything was wonderful except for one thing - the Lord did not give them children for a long time. For two years in a row, Elena went every Sunday to services at the Florovsky convent in Podol and prayed in front of the icon of the Mother of God “Quench my sorrows” in the hope of a miracle. And a miracle happened! The Mother of God quenched the young woman’s sadness by sending the long-awaited baby. There was no limit to the joy of the spouses and all the relatives. However, this joy was soon overshadowed by completely stupid disputes that arose among relatives.
As soon as Lena found out that she was going to become a mother, she announced that she would name her son in honor of her deceased father, whom she doted on. Vasily Alexandrovich, Elena’s father, was the favorite of our entire small street, where everyone knew each other. The kindest man, a jack of all trades, when he died many were very sorry. And the daughter’s desire to name her son in his memory was completely understandable. But it was not there! My aunt, my father’s sister, opposed this most strongly. What Lena didn’t listen to from her: you can’t name a child in honor of a dead person - he will be unhappy, he will repeat his fate; The fact that his middle name will be the same as the deceased’s is completely unacceptable! Better yet, give the child two different names: one according to the passport and a completely different one at baptism. And in general, you just need to choose some beautiful and happy name. In general, all kinds of superstitious fabrications that plunged the expectant mother into despair. And to top it all off, the aunt also promised that if Lena did not listen to her and acted in her own way, then she would not even appear at the christening. Lena had to be calmed down, and our parish priest had to carry out explanatory work with her aunt.
***
This case is no exception. Rather, it's the other way around. Conversations and thoughts about a child’s name begin in many families long before the child’s birth. And it must be said that quite a lot of superstitions are associated with the tradition of naming a name. And the very first of them is that a name can determine a person’s destiny, influence it and shape character. Therefore, it is undesirable to give children the names of deceased relatives, the names of people with unhappy destinies, and even the names of saints who suffered a difficult martyrdom.

Where did these misconceptions come from?

It is possible that some of these prejudices have been preserved since pre-Christian times. And this, as a rule, is connected with pagan ideas about fate as an inevitable fate and with the cult of ancestors, which assumes some kind of posthumous mystical connection between relatives of the same tribe.
There is a whole science of anthroponymy that studies the origin of names and the information contained in them. However, this science has nothing in common with all kinds of pseudo-scientific theories existing today and the widespread literature about names, which is very popular among the population. One part of these theories is based on a social concept, the other looks for a mechanism of influence on the formation of a person’s character in the emotional, sound and even color features of a name. Supporters of such judgments believe that each name carries information about a person’s inclinations, talents, his ability to build relationships, behave in one way or another in society, and even about his state of health. And, relying on this knowledge, they are advised to be guided by it, for example, when hiring a person, since there is supposedly a certain pattern that appears among owners of the same names. Is it so?
No one will dispute the fact that the role of a person’s personal name in society is quite large. A pronounced name is almost always associated with its bearer, with a set of certain personality qualities, with its image and character. “Names express the nature of things,” wrote the Orthodox theologian and philosopher priest Pavel Florensky, who devoted one of his works to the study of names. “Before a name, a person is not yet a person,” he noted. And indeed, we find justification for this statement in the Holy Scriptures.

About choosing a name - in the Bible

The initial example of naming was taught by the Lord God Himself after the creation of the first man (Gen. 2:25), whom he also endowed with the same gift (Gen. 2:19-20). Further biblical narrative shows that the names that appeared on the pages of Scripture reflected the special functions of their bearers for sacred history. In some cases, they changed to mark a person’s new calling: Abram to Abraham (Gen. 17:5), Jacob to Israel (Gen. 32:24-30). Often names contained wishes about some specific future qualities of the baby or the type of his activity, or were given with an incentive to capture some events or incidents related to the circumstances of the birth of the child (Gen. 25:25, 29:32-34, 30:18 -24, 35:18, Ex.2:22). Moses, which means “saved from the water,” was so called because he was taken out of the water (Ex. 2:10); the future prophet Samuel (asked from God) was actually asked by his mother from the Lord (1 Sam. 1:20). As a rule, mothers and fathers saw their born babies first. It was they who noticed certain characteristic features, not yet entirely perceptible to outsiders, on the basis of which they called their children one name or another, reflecting the behavior or appearance of the future personality: Esau - shaggy, Nabal - stupid.

A name makes/ugles a person, or a person - a name

However, nowhere on the pages of the Bible do we find any direct indications or facts indicating that a name could somehow “program” a person’s life. Moreover, it is clear from Sacred History that many of its heroes, bearing the same names, had completely different fates. Among the Judahs mentioned in the Bible (praise be to Jehovah), there is also the founder of one of the tribes of Israel (Gen. 35:23), and the famous defender of the faith and fatherland, Judah Maccabee (1 Maccabees 2:4), and the leader of the rebels (Acts 5:37 ), and the apostle Judas Thaddeus (Luke 6:16), and, finally, Judas Iscariot (Matthew 10:4), who forever tarnished this name with betrayal. These facts indicate that only a person’s life and actions fill a name with meaning and can change its meaning, but it is impossible to convey through a name the qualities and properties that are formed as a result of upbringing or in the process of life.
Our ancestress Eve, knowing about God’s promise regarding the future savior, hoped that its fulfillment would be realized with the birth of her first-born. That is why she named her son Cain, considering him an acquisition from the Lord (Gen. 4:1). According to the logic of those who believe that a name can determine the fate of an individual, Cain's life should have corresponded to it. However, he went down in history as the first murderer, who can hardly be associated with “a gain from the Lord.” And, on the contrary, Abel (vanity, insignificance) turned out to be a God-loving man and became the first innocent victim (Gen. 4:8).
In general, the story that happened with Cain and Abel is a vivid example of the fact that the life of an individual depends not on the name, but on her free will and on the choice she makes. The words of the Lord “if you do not do good, then sin lies at the door; he draws you to himself, but you must rule over him” were addressed not only to Cain, but to all humanity (Gen. 4:7).

Should a baby be named after a deceased relative?

There are also special names in the Bible that, even before the birth of their bearers, contained prophetic indications of a future mission. So it was with John the Baptist (the grace of God) (Luke 1:13), so it was with Our Savior Jesus Christ Himself (Luke 1:31). In the traditions of the Jewish people in later times, it was customary to choose a name for a newborn from the well-known names of the family - father, grandfather or other respected relatives. And no one was afraid that the name of a deceased relative would harm the baby. The ancient pagan peoples, who apostatized from God and fell into idolatry, believed that the name of a born baby should be kept secret so that evil spirits could not harm him. Therefore, in order to mislead these spirits, they tried to give the child several names, hiding the original one. Some primitive tribes believed that if you name a baby after a deceased relative, you can thus transfer the soul of the deceased into the newborn, and then the fate of the child will be similar to the fate of his predecessor. Apparently, even after the adoption of Christianity, echoes of these beliefs have survived to our time in the form of various superstitions.
It should be noted that in Christianity there is no concept of fate in its generally accepted representation as some kind of deterministic inevitability or fate. From the point of view of the Christian religion, the determination of fate includes the realization of a person’s destiny, aimed at revealing in him the Image and Likeness of God. It is not blind fate or insidious chance, not impersonal physical laws that govern human life, but Divine Providence or Providence. In Orthodoxy there is a doctrine of predestination, which states that we are all predestined to salvation. All people, according to God's plan, have one destiny - to find themselves in the Kingdom of Heaven. “For this is good and pleasing to God our Savior, who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth,” writes the Apostle Paul (1 Tim. 2:3-4). The good Providence of God directs a person to salvation, helps a person, pushes him on the path of righteousness. However, the implementation of this predestination depends solely on our free choice. Therefore, predestination is conditional. And in this regard, a person’s name does not in the least affect his life path and, even more so, his future eternal destiny.

Orthodox tradition and debunking myths

Orthodoxy has its own centuries-old tradition of naming. Previously, the naming of a Christian name, according to the charter of the Church, was performed before baptism on the eighth day after the birth of a baby - following the example of the Savior Christ (Luke 2:21), and was one of the preparatory actions for it. Currently, naming usually occurs on the day of Epiphany, before the rite of announcement. Thus, at Baptism, a person received a name from the Church, which was chosen according to one of several rules. Most often, the child was named after a saint, whose memory fell either on his birthday, or on the day of naming, or on the day of Baptism.
Today, Baptism is preceded by the civil registration of a newborn. By this point, parents have already, as a rule, decided on a name, which is included in the birth certificate. If the chosen name is not in the Orthodox monthly book, then the priest recommends choosing an Orthodox name that is similar in sound. At one time there was a custom in our society to give children names in the Western European form: Angela, Zhanna, Ilona, ​​Jan, Leon. The priest translated such names into Church Slavonic form when performing the Sacrament of Baptism. It happens that a child is named by vow, in honor of a certain saint, whom they chose in advance and prayed to. However, everything related to naming is advisory in nature, and parents have the right to choose any name for their child.
The Christian tradition of naming children after saints is an educational measure. It is very important to have a positive life example and role model for the moral development of an individual. But in order for a person’s life standards to coincide with the life principles of a saint, appropriate education and volitional efforts of the individual himself are necessary. The name of a saint does not make a person a saint. There are no lucky or unlucky names. There are simply names that are difficult to pronounce and difficult to remember, which can become a reason for jokes at the expense of a person. You just need to prudently avoid such names, using prudence:

If only you are smart
You won't let the guys
So many fancy names
Like Proton and Atom.

Let father and mother understand
What's with this nickname?
The century will have to last
To the ill-fated children, -
Soviet poet Samuil Marshak once wrote in his poem “In Defense of Children.” It is also an absolute misconception that the character of a girl can be influenced by a name given to her that is of masculine origin: Alexandra, Vasilisa, Theodora, etc. If the parents of such a daughter give her the right upbringing, then her innate femininity will never turn into masculinity. It is not the name that creates a person’s destiny, but the person who spiritualizes the name with his life and actions.
***
...At the end of this spring, I met a joyful Elena on the street, walking with a stroller, in which the wonderful baby Vasily was snoring peacefully and royally, completely unaware of the battles that broke out among relatives even before his birth. Heaven itself stood up for this child, begged by his mother from God. Ahead of all deadlines, he was born on the feast of the Circumcision of the Lord and on the day of remembrance of St. Basil the Great. The need to choose a name resolved itself.

The article shows the role of a person’s name in the formation of his character and destiny. The following theories are considered to explain the influence of a name on a person’s character: social, emotional, sound, linguistic. A linguistic analysis of the names is provided: Mikhail, Arina, Alexander, Sergey, Bogdan, Yaroslav. Based on the ancient Slavic initial letter, alphanumeric codes for these names have been compiled, helping to understand the deep meaning of the words. In the ancient Slavic language, alphabetic signs had their own meaning, image, and some had a numerical value. Replacing the initial letter in a word also changed its semantic image. A linguistic analysis of the names Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin and Adolf Hitler was carried out. The following characteristics were taken into account: letter writing, sound, figurative meaning, numerical meaning, alphanumeric code of the word. A linguistic analysis of the words Rus and Russia was carried out.

“Among the vague mysteries that the human mind stumbles upon is the influence of his name on the moral character and fate of a person,”

S.R. Mintslov

The semantics of a name, its origin, influence on a person’s fate and its development in the world are dealt with by the official sciences - anthroponymy and onomastics. Outstanding scientists studied the influence of a person’s name on his character and destiny: P. Florensky, A. Losev, L. Uspensky, V.A. Nikonov, P. Rouge and others.

Since ancient times, people have paid attention to the influence of a name on the fate of a person, a city, and even a state. Therefore, with major changes in a person’s destiny, his name changes: at baptism, at marriage, at spiritual initiation, in show business. When there is a change in government, they also try to rename streets, cities and even states.

Since time immemorial, in all countries of the world and in all cultures, it was customary to give a person two names, one of which was known only to parents, a priest, a priest or a shaman. This was done for magical protection against the evil eye or damage. The Slavs, like many other peoples, believed that a person’s fate is determined by a name, it is the key to his inner essence. Before the baptism of Rus', at birth a child received his first name from his father in honor of one of the Ancestors. When he turned twelve years old, the child was initiated into adulthood (coming of age rite) and received a new adult family name, and received a second secret name during the “naming” ritual. The secret name was known only to close relatives. With the adoption of Christianity, the function of a secret name began to be performed by a canonical name, enshrined in the traditions of the Christian religion. Canonical names include names taken from the church calendar, where the names of canonized saints are listed by month and day of their memory (the so-called calendar or hagiographic names). In Russia, until the 17th century, parents kept secret the name given to their child at baptism, thereby trying to deceive evil spirits.

The secular name was not associated with religious traditions and served as the main name. It was supposed to endow its bearer with some useful qualities in life. Nicknames, unlike names, reflect not desirable, but real properties and qualities, territorial or ethnic origin, place of residence of their bearers, etc. Nicknames are given to people at different periods of their lives. In official documents in Rus', nicknames were used along with non-canonical names. A Russian proverb says: “Parents give one name. Life gives a completely different name. But we give ourselves the true name. But not everyone has the courage to admit their real name. Even to myself."

The qualifying part of a Slav’s name is the patronymic (patronymic nickname), which directly indicates the origin and family ties of the person. In the old days, the patronymic indirectly indicated a person’s social affiliation, as it was considered an honorary name. Representatives of the highest feudal aristocracy were called by the so-called full patronymic ending in -vich, the middle classes used less honorable forms of patronymic nicknames - semi-patronymic nicknames ending in -ov, -ev, -in, and the lower classes did without patronymics at all.

Surnames, or inherited official names, indicating that a person belongs to a particular family, appeared among the Slavs quite late. The first Slavic surnames have been known since the 15th-16th centuries; they began to appear among peasants only in the 18th-19th centuries. Naming a person with his father’s nickname as a family nickname was considered quite sufficient, and therefore the so-called “grandfatherhoods” (personal nicknames formed on behalf of the grandfather) were used extremely rarely. With the development of private land ownership, genealogy was required, recorded in generic nicknames common to all family members.

Quite often the father's name is included as part of the surname itself. Many German and English surnames ending in “zon” or “son”, Scandinavian - in “sen”, Georgian in “shvili”, Armenian in “yants” or “yan”, Turkish “oglu”, Iranian in “zade” , Slavic in -ov, -ev, -in, -ich (Petrich) simply mean “son” (Robinson - son of Robin). Among the Scots and Irish, the same role is played by the prefixes: McNabs, and “O” (O’Brien).

A person's name carries a lot of information. By naming their child, parents give him a purpose and program in life. A name is a sound wave that has a direct impact on the formation of a person’s character traits, on his spiritual qualities, on his specific actions.

A name is a formula of fate, a program of life. It helps a person realize his purpose, attract higher powers to his destiny and understand character problems that need to be worked on. An incorrectly chosen name leads a person to stagnation and deprives him of protection. To get out of the vicious circle, you need to consciously change your name. Currently, the name is given in honor of some prosperous relative, children are named after presidents of countries, famous politicians, favorite writers, actors, scientists, athletes, or refer to the church calendar. Very few people give a name consciously, choosing it based on the date of birth and the desired qualities.

Each person has several names:

Personal name. It has several pronunciation options. For example, the official one is Natalya, the diminutive one is Natashenka, the abbreviated one is Nata, etc.).

Family name (surname, patronymic).

Secret name (at baptism or spiritual initiation).

An arbitrary name that can change throughout life (nicknames, nicknames, etc.). Pseudonyms are especially relevant in literature, politics and show business. To work in art, it is advisable to take a creative first and last name (you can calculate the name using numerology).

The nickname is a name that stuck. People around us intuitively feel that the character of a person corresponds to this or that word, reflecting his very essence.

Each name has its own personal image that has developed over the course of history. The names of great people are associated in the public consciousness with certain aspirations and achievements. Learning about the exploits of his namesakes, a person gains a source of additional confidence that he can do the same. It is not for nothing that in royal dynasties of different times the same names were repeated from generation to generation.

Russian researcher S.R. Mintslov, in a small book called “The Power of Names,” wrote about the amazing homogeneity of the characters and properties of bearers of the same name. He came to the conclusion that among the Alekseevs, most often there are calculating people, the Alexanders, as a rule, are cheerful, and the Peters, for the most part, are quiet, quiet people, but with a firm and stubborn character.

Pavel Florensky, an outstanding Russian scientist and philosopher, dedicated a special work, “Names,” to studying the connection between names and character. He writes: “The name is the subtlest flesh through which the spiritual essence is determined.” The name Alexander, notes P. A. Florensky, is fundamentally sanguine, with a bias towards choleric character. Alexandras are attentive and kind towards women, but their feelings for a woman rarely “explode their inner life with a plow” and are more often limited to light flirting. The name Elena signifies feminine nature, Nikolai is kind by nature, Vasily usually hides tender feelings within himself, Konstantin is distinguished by his inconstancy...

Touching on the mysticism of names, V. A. Nikonov, a specialist in the field of anthroponymy - the science of names, recalls in his book “Name and Society” a story by Jack London, in which one woman names her sons by the name of her deceased beloved brother Samuel, and all four of them, one by one, death takes away.

Experts from the universities of San Diego and Georgia have found that school teachers persistently give low grades to students with some names, and high grades to others. Girls with attractive names do not advance well in their careers and in business, but they can achieve noticeable success in show business.

There are several theories explaining how a person's name can influence his character.

Social theory. From a social point of view, a person’s name is a bundle of social information about its bearer. By name one can judge a person’s origin, nationality, possible religion, basic character traits and temperament. These ideas are approximately the same among different people, which, in turn, determines approximately the same attitude towards the bearer of a given name. The “sociality” of the name was more pronounced in the last century, when names were given according to the calendar and behind each name there was the life story of a saint with very specific forms of behavior, character traits, attitude to the surrounding reality, etc. “By name and life” - it read the stereotypical formula by which the church and the Orthodox people raised the future Christian.

Emotional theory. According to this theory, a person's name is seen as an emotional stimulus. Some names sound soft, affectionate and evoke in those around them a feeling of pleasant, gentle, sublime, while others, on the contrary, evoke unpleasant emotions, make you internally shrink, tense, and become cold. This is the so-called “music of names”. The initial attitude of others towards the bearer of the name will largely depend on what it is and will affect the characteristics of the person’s character.

Sound theory. The name is a set of sounds of different pitches and timbres. Different names - different sets of sounds. Sound stimuli that are different for the brain excite different brain structures.

There is another mechanism for the possible influence of a name on the formation of character. It operates at the level of a person’s unconscious associations and feelings. This conclusion was reached as a result of studies in which people were asked to answer the question with which color they associate different names. It turned out that for the statistically overwhelming majority of those studied, the name “Tatyana” evokes the idea of ​​red (and close to it) colors, while the name “Elena” is usually associated with blue (and close to it) colors. From the psychology of color it is known that the color red causes a state of anxiety, danger, and suffering in a person, while blue, on the contrary, causes a feeling of calm and tranquility.

The above studies and theories have convinced us that there is a connection between a person’s name and his mental characteristics.

We present the results of a linguistic study of alphanumeric codes of some Slavic names. Initial letters of the ancient Slavic language were used. In Fig. 1 shows an ancient Slavic initial letter, in Fig. 2 modern Russian alphabet.

Rice. 1. Ancient Slavic Initial Letter

Rice. 2. Modern alphabet

In the ancient Slavic language, alphabetic signs (letter letters) had their own meaning and image. Some initial letters had a numerical value (Fig. 1). In addition to their numerical value, the initial letters also had a serial number in the alphabet, reflecting their relationship with other letters.

To write numerals in initial letters, the numerical title was used: . For example, the number 241 was written: (two hundred and forty-one).

The numbers from eleven to nineteen were written in the following order: first ones, then tens. For example, twelve was written .(three (G) and ten (i)).

To simplify this article, we will use a notation without a title to write numerals in drop caps.

Let's look at some names.

Name Mikhail.

By letter: M (think) - think, wisdom, transmission, transformation.

X (хѣръ) - the highest positive meaning; world balance, harmony.

L (people) - community, unification, direction, dimension of existence.

Michael - harmony of people is achieved by thoughts about the universe of harmony (guardian of wisdom).

Numerical meaning of the name Mikhail:

40(M)+8(I)+600(X)+1(A)+8(I)+30(L)= = 687 (HPZ) = 6+8+7 =21(KA) =2+1 =3(G) - keeping the peace of the earth (HPZ) as a source (KA) of transferring wisdom (G).

Let's create an alphanumeric code for the name Mikhail. According to Fig. 1 letter “M” is in the matrix at No. 17. Let's add up the serial numbers of the initial letters in the word, and replace the resulting sum with initial letters that have a numerical value.

No. 17 (M) + No. 11 (I) + No. 27 (X) + No. 1 (A) + No. 11 (I) + No. 16 (L) = 83 (PG).

The number 83 is made up of 80+3. The numerical value 80 corresponds to the letter P (chambers), the number 3 - G (verbs). Then the number 83 can be expressed in initial letters (PG) - the transfer of wisdom in a state of rest.

83 = 8+3=11(Az+izhei) self-knowledge =2 (V - vedi) - wisdom.

Therefore, Michael is the guardian of wisdom, coming to wisdom through self-knowledge. Able to transfer acquired knowledge to other people in a state of peace of mind and balance.

Name Misha:

M (think) - think, wisdom, transmission, transformation.

And (izhє) - unity, union, harmony, balance.

A (az) is a person who lives on earth and does good. Beginning, origin.

Misha: thoughts about harmony that go beyond limits.

A digital reading will help you understand the deep meaning of the name.

40(M)+8(I)+0(W)+1(A) = 49 (Mθ)= =13(GI) = 4(D).

(M - think; θ - fita) thoughts about the harmony of man with nature. (G - verbs; I - izhei) - transfer of knowledge, wisdom. D (good) - good, increase.

Expressing drop caps through serial numbers:

No. 17 (M) + No. 11 (I) + No. 31 (W) + 1 (A) = =60 (Ѯ - xi) - spirituality.

Therefore, Misha must live in harmony with nature. This is his way of gaining knowledge and translating it into good deeds. A spiritual person.

Name Arina.

Arina - ar (earth), ina (born).

Numerical meaning of the name Arina:

1(A)+100(P)+8(I)+50(N)+1(A)= =160 (Pi)=7(Z) - born (P) spirit (i) on earth (Z).

Alphanumeric code for the name Arina:

1(A)+21(P)+11(I)+18(N)+1(A)=52(NV)= =7(Z) - our (N) earthly (Z) wisdom (B).

The name Bogdan means given by God.

Numerical meaning of the name Bogdan:

70(0)+3(G)+4(D)+1(A)+50(N)= =128(RCI) ordering leading to harmony =11(AI) - self-knowledge =2(B) - wisdom.

Alphanumeric code for the name Bogdan:

2(B)+19(O)+4(G)+5(D)+1(A)+18(N)= =49(Mθ) =13 (GI) = 4(D) - increase in goodness (D ) through the transmission of wisdom (G) and thoughts (M) about the harmony of man with nature (θ).

The name Yaroslav is the one who carries the purity and light (glory) of the sun. Yaro (Yarilo) means sun.

Numerical meaning of the name Yaroslav:

100(P)+70(O)+200(C)+30(L)+1(A)+3(B)= =404 (“Ouk”; D “good”)=8(I) - approved structure () goodness (D) and harmony (I).

In the ancient Slavic language, the sound “I” was conveyed by the initial letters “єнъ” (Ѧ), meaning he; structure; ascending image and the initial letter “ar”, homogeneous structure.

Let's write the name Yaroslav as Ѧ roslav and calculate the alphanumeric code of the name.

No. 41 (Ѧ) + No. 21 (P) + No. 19 (O) + No. 22 (C) + No. 16 (L) + No. 1 (A) + No. 3 (B) = 123 (RKG) - speech (R ), as (K) transfer of wisdom (D).

The name Sergei means born on a foggy (gray) morning.

Numerical meaning of the name Sergey:

200(C)+5(e)+100(p)+3(G)+5(e)+8(th) = 321 (TKA) = (S) - approver (T) unknown (S), as ( K) person (A).

Through serial numbers:

No. 22 (C) + No. 6 (e) + No. 21 (p) + No. 4 (g) + No. 6 (e) + No. 11 (th) =70 (O) = 7 (Z) - earthly (Z) circle (O).

Based on the name Sergei, one can conclude that he will affirm human wisdom throughout his life.

But the numerical meaning of the name Sergius:

200(C)+5(e)+100(p)+3(G)+10(i)+8(th) = =326 (TKS) =11(AI)=2(B) - approver (T) unknown (S) space (K); through self-knowledge (AI), comes to wisdom (B).

The alphanumeric code for the name Sergiy will be:

No. 22 (C) + No. 6 (e) + No. 21 (p) + No. 4 (g) + + No. 12 (i) + No. 11 (th) = 76 (OS) = 13 (GI) = 4 (D ) - a structure unknown to us (OS) transmits knowledge and increases goodness. Consequently, Sergius is guided not by human, but by divine wisdom.

Consider the name Alexander.

In the ancient Slavic language the name was Olgiandr. The letter O “on” meant the family circle: grandfather, father, son. Lay down, sixteen dimensional beings. Olgiandr is the grandson of the leg, bearing the spiritual structure (ѯ) and the son of the druid (dr). Spirit is an intangible, unknown to us, which is why many peoples designate it with an “X”: Aleχandre.

Then the name Algsandr appeared - similar to (A) leg, the son of a druid. Over time, the “g” turned into the sound “k” and the name began to be written as Alksandr.

Numerical meaning of the name Alksandr:

1(A)+30(L)+20(K)+200(C)+1(A)+50(N)++4(D)+100(R)=406 (S) - unknown to us (S )clear structure with its foundations () = 10 (I) - universal structure = 1 (A) source.

Alphanumeric code for the name Alksandr:

No. 1 (A) + No. 16 (L) + No. 35 (b) + No. 15 (k) + No. 22 (s) + No. 1 (a) + No. 18 (n) + No. 5 (d) + No. 21 (р)+№33(ъ) = 167 (РѮZ) speech of the spirit of the earth =14 (ДI) practical experience = 5 (Є) - being.

1(A)+30(L)+5(e)+600(X)+1(A)+50(N)+4(D)+100(P) = 791 (ΨA) =17 (ZI) = 8 (I) - spiritual traits of a person (ΨA), cognizing earthly space (ZI), a harmonious person (I).

Alphanumeric code for the name Alekhandr:

No.1(A)+No.16(L)+No.6(e)+No.27(χ)+ +No.1(a)+No.18(n)+No.5(d)+No.21(r)+No. 33(ъ) = =128 (RKI) speech as harmony =11 (AI) self-knowledge = 2 (B) - wisdom.

Numerical meaning of the name Alexander:

1(A)+30(L)+5(e)+20(K)+200 (C) +1(A)+50(N)+4(D)+100(R) = 411 (UAI) - approaching self-knowledge = 6 (S) - unknown.

One of the meanings of the name Alexander is: approaching the unknown through self-knowledge.

Using a similar method, we will analyze the name: Pushkin Alexander Sergeevich. Let's write down his name in Old Slavic: Pushkin Alekhandr Sergievich.

P (peace) - harmony, balance, peace.

U (uk) - approaching something.

Sh (sha) - silence; breadth; space; going beyond certain boundaries, beyond certain images of perception.

K (kako) - volume, space, unification of a person with the universe.

I (izhei) - universe, galaxy, space.

N (our) - ours in the universe.

Ъ (єръ) - creation in process.

Pushkin - approaching harmony in the space of our universe.

Numerical meaning of the surname Pushkin:

80 (P)+20(K)+10(I)+50(N)= 160 (PѮ)= =7 (Z) - spiritual sayings on earth.

Numerical meaning of the name Alejandro:

791 (ѰЧА) =17 (ZI) =8(И) - spiritual traits of a person (ѰЧА), cognizing the earthly space (ZI), a harmonious person (I).

Numerical value of the patronymic Sergievich:

200(C)+5(e)+100(r)+3(g)+10(i)+5 (e)+2(c)+8(i)+90(h) = 423 (KV) - a certain structure of wisdom (information structure) = 9 (θ) - harmony of man with nature.

If we add up all the numerical values ​​of the last name, first name, patronymic, we get a new image: 160+ 791 +423= 1374 (ATOD) - a person (A) who approves (T) the circle (O) of good (D).

1374= 1+3+7+4=15 (єi) - wisdom of being =6 (s) unknown to us.

We get that Pushkin Alekhandr Sergievich is a spiritual person who cognizes the earthly space, strives for harmony with nature, receives knowledge from outer space and transmits spiritual knowledge on earth.

Pushkin A.S. born 06/06/1799. Date of birth means: 6+6+(1+7+9+9)= 12 (BI) knowledge of wisdom + 26 (KS) as the unknown = 38 (LI) orientation towards harmony, balance.

The date of birth and name coincide in the purpose of life - approaching (the desire for) harmony. That is, the life program coincided with the purpose of life.

Let's look at the name Adolf Hitler.

Adolf: the beginning of (A) increase (D) human (L) pride (F).

Digital value of the name Adolf: 1 (A) + 4 (D) + 70 (O) + 30 (L) + 500 (F) = 605 (XE) - balance in everyday life = 11 (AI) - self-knowledge = 2 (B) . Gaining wisdom in the process of self-knowledge and harmony in everyday life. The presence of the letter F speaks of pride.

Hitler: 3(G)+8(I)+300(T)+30(L)+5(Є)+100(P) = 446 (UMS) - philosophical character. An attempt to comprehend the unknown.

The first name plus the last name will be: 446 + 605 = 1051 = 900 (Ts) + 151 (PHA) = 7 (Z) - goal (Ts) speech (R) human (NA). A natural speaker, able to convey his beliefs to people and able to lead people. The ultimate goal is to own land.

Another image of the letter P is separation, differentiation; NA - people.

This means that the main goal of Adolf Hitler was to divide peoples and rule over the earth.

The full name code must be compared with the date of birth April 20, 1889. Date code: 20+04 = 24 (CD) desire to accumulate; 1889 = 1+8+8+9=26 (KS) desire for the unknown.

The date of birth contains the need to explore the unknown.

Let's consider the influence of the name of the state on its fate.

Rs, Rus, Russia.

The original spelling of Rus' was with the initial letter “Ouk”. Its image: a clear structure with its own foundations, form, content. Pronounced "oh".

Rs - recommended (R) definite form (ook) of the word (C) created (b). A people, a community, speaking the same language, living according to its own principles.

Deep meaning:

100(Р)+400()+200(с)=700(Ѱ) =7(Z) - Soul (Ѱ) of the Earth (Z). Hence the expression: “Russian soul.”

After spelling reforms, this initial letter was removed from the alphabet. Rs began to be written as Rus, with the initial letter “uk”. The image of this initial letter: being near something, approaching something, calling.

Rus' - river (r) in the word created. The meaning is lost. This word lacks essence and content. It became some kind of vague shape.

100(P)+200(s)=300(T) - firmament, territory.

There is no need to explain to anyone what a tragic history a country with that name had.

Russia is the power of (ro) words (s) this (siya).

100(P)+70(O) +200(s) +200(s) +8(I) = 574(FOD) = 7(Z) - the noble divine structure of the good of the Earth. This is the power of words.

The strength of our Motherland is in the word. Consequently, further simplification of the alphabet and degradation of the language cannot be allowed. It is necessary to return the Russian language to its former greatness, and the country to its strength and power.

From the above examples it follows that whatever the spelling of the word, so is the meaning of the image: “as it comes back (what image you send), so it will respond (that’s what you will receive).

Conclusion: studying the ancient Slavic language will help you find out the true meaning of a person’s name and find out your purpose in life. A correctly chosen name for a child helps him develop harmoniously.

A name is a kind of energy code, the combination of meanings of which directly determines the character, fate and key events in a person’s life. Since ancient times, the name personified the personal qualities of the people who received them at birth. This trend can be seen especially clearly in Indian tribes. They called their children very strangely: Indestructible Fist, Keen Eye, Waterbender, etc. Today we will try to figure out how a name affects a person’s character, and what to consider when choosing it for a child.

Name and character - relationship and spheres of influence

“Whatever you name a yacht, so it will sail” - it is not without reason that this catchphrase is considered the main motto of sailors. They never name their ship after a deceased relative of one of the crew members, because they believe that the spirit of a person will try with all his might to drag them into the abyss of the sea. The most popular ship names are Victoria, Augustina and Burislava, which literally stands for “victory, great and indestructible”.

This principle also applies to a person’s name. Character, destiny and important stages in life are variable indicators in esoteric teaching that can be adjusted. Think about why in monasteries, when a person takes monastic vows, he is given a different name, different from the one he bore in worldly life? This is done for a reason. It is believed that the naming ceremony gives a person a new status. It resets his past and the starting point is set at the moment of baptism, which is called differently in world religious beliefs. That is why the following spheres of influence of a name on a person are distinguished:

  • Character. There are a great many striking examples of the influence of a name on a person’s character; just take a history textbook for elementary grades and see for yourself. The chronicles say that one of the greatest commanders, Alexander Suvorov, was born a very sick, weak and non-viable child. His mother, barely looking at her child and hearing his plaintive “Ah-ah”, decided that this was a sign from above. She named the baby Alexander, which translated from ancient Greek means “Protector of People.” How the boy’s fate turned out and who little Sasha became are well-known facts that do not need a detailed description.
  • Fate. Famous astrologers, magicians and even Buddhist teachers are sure that a person’s fate directly depends on his name. Every faith has its Saints, who are revered either as saints or as martyrs. Since ancient times, it was generally accepted that giving a child the name of a righteous man meant an easy and happy fate, and that of a great martyr meant numerous obstacles, endless problems and a difficult road to achieving the goal.

Attempts to explain exactly how the relationship between the concepts “name - character - destiny” is established are still being continued by scientists. Some use a numerological approach for these purposes, calculating the vibration frequency of sounds. It is worth noting that this method is also used for . The latter use the decoding of individual characters that have a separate meaning. And still others give preference to the analysis of statistical data, considering the fates of people with the same names and finding similarities in them. From this we can conclude that a name certainly influences a person’s character and his destiny, introducing changes into his personal portrait.

Interesting facts about the influence of a name on character

At the end of the last century, a college of independent psychiatrists from the United States of America conducted an interesting experiment. People with different names were selected for its participation - common and unusual, practically not found in everyday life. All of them spent 21 days in a separate house with a swimming pool, entertainment, and also received daily tasks to improve the living conditions of their stay. After completing the experiment, all scientists came to the conclusion that men and women with strange and sometimes funny names were 18 times more likely to see an on-duty psychologist, complaining of regular nervous breakdowns, the presence of obsessive suicidal thoughts and inexplicable hysterical seizures. Psychiatrists gave this phenomenon a simple explanation. The non-standard names that boys and girls received from their parents caused ridicule among their peers, provoked them to come up with offensive nicknames and negatively affected the character of their owners.

The influence of a name on character - folk beliefs

From time immemorial, a tradition has been established in Rus' to name a child according to the Saints. The thing is that our ancestors believed in the powerful power of the name, which endowed the baby with good qualities, abilities and talents. Until now, many scientists agree that the name contains a certain digital code that has a direct impact on the human psyche, provoking nervous breakdowns, depressive states, or, conversely, an optimistic mood at different periods of life. Numerous beliefs and signs are associated with the sacred cult of the name, which many listen to to this day. The most popular and widespread of them are:

  • You cannot come up with a name for a child in the womb in advance, because the baby may be born dead or with serious physiological abnormalities. Our great-grandmothers believed that a person becomes spiritual only at the moment of his first breath - that’s when you can start choosing a name, assessing the character of the baby in the first days of life.
  • It is not recommended to name girls after their own mothers, great-grandmothers or grandmothers. It is believed that the girl will have a “hard lot”, a difficult fate and poor health.
  • The eldest son, named after his father or paternal grandfather, will be handsome, honest to others and have indestructible inner strength.
  • It is best to choose for the baby the name of a saint whose patronal feast day is closest to the baby’s date of birth. At the same time, you cannot consider options for names according to the calendar “back” for at least a couple of days. It is believed that in this case the person will grow poorly and never achieve his goals, falling behind his peers. But the named child, according to the principle of choosing a name “forward”, will have a strong-willed character, develop “beyond his years,” and also always strive to improve his life.

The fact that many esotericists do not recommend giving a person a fictitious name deserves special attention. Frets, Octyabrins, Efinaries, Kostislavs and Diminiks are bad not because they sound strange, but because for them there is no “heavenly patron”. It turns out that these words are “bare”, although they have certain historical roots and deciphered meanings. Throughout our lives, we will hear our name from the lips of various people, so these vibrations will steadily affect our character, destiny, and even behavioral characteristics. If you wish your children well, we recommend that you listen to the advice and experience of previous generations, who have accumulated wisdom for thousands of years.

American scientists, based on their research, came to the conclusion that people who bear the names of biblical characters live longer compared to people with simple names. How does a name influence a person’s destiny? I wanted to find answers to these questions.

Have you noticed, dear readers, that young parents always try to come up with a particularly unique name for their child, which would be rare and consonant with the patronymic and surname.

And at the same time, so that the parents themselves like it. Sometimes parents get so carried away that the child suffers from his name all his life.

Does a name affect a person's life expectancy?

There are more and more such facts, when the names of people in one way or another influence the fate of a person, and not only in our country. During their study, American scientists analyzed more than 3 million death certificates of people who lived in the states of Missouri, Alabama, and Illinois.

And the results of the study showed interesting facts about the influence of a name on life expectancy. African Americans who bore the names of biblical heroes such as Moses and Elijah during their lives lived much longer compared to people who bore simple names.

Based on this study, scientists concluded that unusual-sounding names can significantly shorten a person’s life, while the names of characters or people who are revered and respected, on the contrary, prolong life.

Scientists have also noticed that children with intricate names are more likely to be discriminated against among their peers, which affects their neuropsychic state and, as a result, their studies and even work.

In our country, names are also subject to fashion. Fashion for names often has a wavy character. The names are either popular, or the fashion for them is passing... But after a few decades, it may return again. Nowadays, children are more often called by Old Church Slavonic names: Zlatoslava, Miloslava, Elisha, Matvey, Sofia, Nestor, Savely...


But at the beginning of the last century there was complete freedom in the name of creativity, children were even named using an abbreviation, for example: Marklen comes from Marx + Lenin, the name Friedlen means Friedrich + Engels + Lenin, and Viul means Vladimir Ilyich Ulyanov.

Names were in fashion: Industry, Electricity, Idea... There is even a known case when parents intended to give their child the name BOC RVF 260602, and this was in 2002 in Moscow, but the parents were denied registration of a child with that name. I think that children would definitely give a nickname to a child with such an abbreviation.

How does a name influence a person’s destiny?

Experts say that a person’s fate can be influenced not only by his name, but also by his place, time of birth, parents, health, character, and upbringing. A person’s name forms the first impression about him. Often a person’s success depends on his name; often it even affects relationships. The question of the influence on a person’s fate has been studied for a long time, but there is still no clear answer to it.

Social theory. From the point of view of social theory, a person’s name contains some information accumulated during the development of society and which is transmitted to descendants:

A name is a word in a specific language. And it has its own meaning (Alexander is strong, Victoria is victory, Tatyana is intoxicating)... In addition, it contains information about the deeds of those great people who wore it and glorified it.

The information contained in the name partially influences the formation of a person’s character, because others and relatives will many times emphasize and instill in the child that he should live up to his name and what he should be.

Emotional and sound theories claim that everything depends on the melody of the pronunciation of the name and the sounds embedded in it. The more pleasant the name is in pronunciation, the supposedly more favorable the person’s fate and the lighter his character. And the sounds embedded in the name, when pronounced, irritate certain areas of the cerebral cortex, which causes different reactions from people. Remember, sound therapy.

And this also affects the person bearing this name. The same sounds irritate the same areas of the cerebral cortex. Over the years, these sounds contribute to the formation of certain character traits.

Mystical theory. In addition to the theories mentioned above, there is also a mystical theory, which seeks to see in each name a certain secret that influences a person’s fate. This theory uses numerology, color schemes, etc.

Most scientists are still inclined to the following explanations:

The influence of a name on fate often depends on how people around it perceive it. Since each country has its own history and traditions, language and religion, the fate of people whose names somehow come into contact with the traditions established in a given region is happier.

And a name that is harsh on the ear and does not fit into the traditions of the area and society in which a given person lives can spoil not only his character, but also direct his fate in an unfavorable direction.

Someone else's name is really new to everyone, it sounds unusual and hurts the ears. People do not understand what this name carries, what information is contained in it. On a subconscious level, a person perceives it as a meaningless set of sounds. Such a name is often distorted, not even on purpose, it just happens that way, sometimes even intentionally.

With the development of society, migration of the population from country to country, people began to treat each other more tolerantly. But still, there are more than enough such manifestations. Often, a person with someone else’s name begins to be called in his own manner, consonant with the given region.

For a child, when he lives in alertness and readiness to constantly defend himself, such a state cannot have a beneficial effect on his development. Children, according to scientists, with rare and unusual names often develop an unsociable, withdrawn character.

They often find themselves isolated and therefore become insecure or angry. All this cannot but affect a person’s future life path.


In Russia there is a tradition of naming a child in honor of a deceased relative, or one still living but of advanced age, or in honor of a famous star. Scientists believe that this choice of name is not entirely correct. Parents seem to place an obligation on their young child to be the same or even better.

But not all children can be better, because they are born with the makings of their parents, adopted with the genotype. What if the child cannot live up to the hopes that his parents placed on him at birth, giving him the name of the president? According to scientists, this situation can negatively affect the fate of the child.

And when a person passes away early and a child is named after him, one gets the impression that the child will continue the fate of the deceased. This is considered a bad omen.

The choice of a name, which is often found in literature as a negative hero, a tyrant, a commander of the enemy army and other names, is also considered negative...

Nowadays, a lot of different literature has been published describing the names and presenting the information that they carry. So don't rush. Read, think about what character traits you would like to instill in your child. After all, by choosing a name, you determine the fate of your beloved child.

These are the opinions of scientists who study how a name influences a person’s destiny. What do you think? I will be glad to know your opinion. Write in the comments.

There is probably no person who would be indifferent to his last name and first name, because the meaning of the name and fate are closely connected. Moreover, not only psychics and mystics claim this, but each of us understands it intuitively. Choosing a name for a child is a big responsibility, and living in harmony with the given one or accepting a new one is the task of every person. If you are wondering what secrets the name has and what its fate is, read on.

The word that gives the key to identity

It is impossible to imagine today that a person has no name, but this was not always the case and not for everyone. In ancient times, it was not customary to name a person if he was not of a noble family, and people had nicknames, nicknames, and most often simply responded to a word denoting their profession or external feature - Blacksmith, Old Man, Red.

The personality was considered insignificant, and the common people were afraid of dark forces that could harm a person through a name. Therefore, it either did not exist, or it was not pronounced anywhere except within the family circle, without strangers.

Everything changed with the advent of Christianity, when baptism under the auspices of Christ gave both confidence in divine protection and some nobility. So in Rus' they began to call them in Greek and biblically instead of Slavic nicknames.

The situation changed even more when they began to use identity cards, so that the given name, surname and patronymic became an integral part of any citizen - from the nobility to the very bottom.

Rare and common

Nowadays there are no truly unique names; there are rare, common and popular ones. The most common ones still include Alexander, Vladimir, Sergey, Alexey, Ivan for men and Anna, Anastasia, Yulia, Irina, Olga for women.


This is probably why calling people by nicknames has survived in our time, and the desire to emphasize the difference from their namesakes forces people to use diminutive forms, abbreviations, or even choose something else for themselves. Some are sure that changing the name will affect fate, because what was given by the parents can be changed to something more fashionable and reflective of one’s true character, especially since this is not so difficult to do.

It is believed that if you bear a common name, then your character and destiny are less predetermined, since its power and meaning are greatly blurred. In a sense, this should give you the freedom to develop as you wish, because you will not be pressured by the information field. On the other hand, depending on what name you bear, your character will be formed: thus, the rare and unusual spurs a person - be different from everyone else, stand out.

The plus is that this gives the character decisiveness and self-demandingness, the minus is constant tension, perfectionism, and the desire to obtain unique results in everything. In other words, the fate of the bearer of an unusual name and surname will be difficult, full of struggle in attempts to prove their worth.

Taking your husband's last name - how does this affect a woman?

Many women are concerned about the question of whether or not to take their husband’s last name after marriage. After all, if the influence of a name on a person’s destiny really exists, then a new surname can bring changes in character and even change life. The popular interpretation of this situation is that a married woman comes under the protection of her husband’s family name, and if you stay with your maiden name, then, they say, you will be like a stranger to your husband.

However, there are several reasons why wives leave their family name:

  • there is a child from a different father, the mother wants to have the same last name with him for psychological reasons;
  • the husband's surname is dissonant;
  • The wife's surname is known, it is difficult to refuse it.

In any case, if you are not satisfied with the prospect of taking a new surname, this is only your decision, and you should not fear the consequences. Without changing anything, you do not risk anything; on the contrary, changes await you if you switch to your husband’s last name.

Information from his family and clan is partially transferred to you, and how the change will affect fate - bad or good - is not known for certain. One can only assume that the surname of a beloved husband will bring satisfaction and peace to the heart of a married woman, and if the marriage is forced, then internal conflict is very likely.

How to find out your destiny by name and birthday

The mysterious science of numerology believes that there is a special connection between the numerical values ​​of your full name and your birthday. Numerologists are able to transform not only the numbers of the birthday into a magic number, but also the letters of the full name, and interpret the results obtained according to ancient ideas about the magic of numbers.

The secret of each number lies in its symbolism:

  • 1 - authority, physical strength, courage, leadership qualities;
  • 2 - luxury, subtlety, tenderness, ability to find a compromise;
  • 3 - creativity, fantasy, energy, elitism;
  • 4 - perseverance, integrity, hard work, trust, frugality;
  • 5 - activity, love of change, curiosity, popularity;
  • 6 – harmonious personality, great diplomat, success in society;
  • 7 – philosophical mindset, thirst for learning, introvert, spirituality;
  • 8 - efficiency, efficiency, pragmatic approach;
  • 9 – the soul of the company, talent on stage, the ability to obtain benefits.

To find out which personality traits are inherent to you, add up all the numbers in your full date of birth, add the sum to a single digit number and read the result.
