Naming of children in the Pyriatin town in 1830th
Journal Title: Eminak - Year 2017, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
The article, based on the analysis of metrical books of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and Assumption churches in the Pyriatin town, it is determined which names are most often called newborns, and, accordingly, which names were rarely used. It is also considered how these names corresponded to the church calendar and whether the name was chosen, and in the latter case, which names were preferred. So, most of the names were chosen from the amount of 7 days before or after the birth of the child. Names that were clearly selected on the date of birth or baptism were exactly one-third of all. In the case of choosing a name that was about 13%, preference was given to widely used names. Not in accordance with the church calendar, often choose the names of Peter, Basil, Mary and Euphrosyne. On the other hand, two thirds of rare names were given to children according to their date of birth. Significant reason for choosing a name was the reverence of the people of the corresponding saint, which is especially evident on the example of the female name of Paraskeva, which supplanted almost all other female names in October. Finally, the noun of extramarital children was considered, as it turned out, there were no special name-markers for them, but they used the same names as in the city as a whole.
