Foreign names whose meaning is fire. Gothic names

Today's news from the Ryazan region prompted me to think about strange names - which for some reason parents come up with, and then the child suffers for the rest of his life. The hard workers, experiencing an acute attack of patri(id)otism, named their boy... United Russia. “Father Valentin from our rural church fully supported and blessed this choice of name,” noted the happy father and reminded reporters that two years ago he named his daughter Putin.

In general, it’s practically a joke. Purer than some, oh my God, Dazdraperma. But, I thought, do metalheads have such problems? Well, call my son Slayer. Or daughter Sepultura. Have you heard of these?..

Fire names are often taken as a basis when choosing a name for red-haired children. According to statistics, only 2% of people have fiery color hair from nature. But today sunny names are especially popular, because it is believed that they can endow the baby with new character traits that will help him be more persistent in life and purposeful, but at the same time give the child an additional range of emotions.

Should hair color be highlighted in the name?

During times Ancient Greece It was believed that names for red-haired people should be chosen very carefully and in no case should this color be highlighted in a child, because after death he will be doomed to become a vampire.

But modern research has shown that red-haired people are naturally more energetic and passionate people, so you can additionally strengthen these character traits by giving your baby a fiery name. It is also interesting that Napoleon was also red-haired, but in addition, his parents picked fire name a red-haired boy, because literally translated it means “red” or “fire.”

In addition, often hearing a name, people associate it with a certain appearance of a person. For example, the names Gina or Sophie are most often associated with brunettes, Elizabeth and Jessica with brown-haired women. Of course, you don’t have to highlight the hair color in the name, but you can additionally emphasize the person’s appearance and reveal it spiritual qualities, ardor and emotionality, which is what names for redheads will help with.

Greek history is also rich in solar names. Among them we can highlight such as Khalianta, which means “beautiful sunny flower” or the familiar name Nellie, which symbolizes a sunny woman. But the name Photina symbolizes a radiant person, it has male version. Quite common in Russia Greek name Evlampia means “pleasant light”, and such girls are also very kind, sometimes they can give up leadership even to their competitor.

Sunny girl names can be multifaceted. For example, among the names of Jewish origin, you can choose the most suitable names for red-haired girls. Among them are Eliana, which means “sun,” Ramina, which translates as “child of the sun,” or another name that has a similar meaning – Anariel.

But among the English names one can highlight the name Adena, which means “sun”. Interestingly, the Latvian name Lesma, which translates as “flame,” began to be used quite recently and has already gained popularity among Slavic countries. But the original Bulgarian name Iskra, which means a small light, is not popular among residents of Russia and is popular only in its homeland.

There are also Arabic names that are suitable for fiery girls: Shamsi and Juna. These names symbolize a bright and sunny person. But the Armenian name Zara is immortalized in the history of this people, because in the past it was borne by the priestess of the fire temple.

One of the most popular Hungarian names, Ilona, ​​is also a fiery name and is translated as a “bright” woman. Living in the 18th century, she became famous for organizing and leading the heroic defense of Mukachevo Castle (today in Ukraine), which lasted more than a year. It was then that she showed her ardent and persistent character in front of the enemy. That’s why they tend to give truly strong women this name.

We can also highlight the most unusual fire names in the world. Among these are Yoko, which means “child of the sun” in Japanese, and Keche, a Mari name that has a similar meaning. It is also interesting that during the Soviet era, red-haired girls were often given the name Anfisa, which at that time gained extraordinary popularity, but today it no longer occupies a leading position.

English names also have in their arsenal those that are suitable for sunny children. The name Aden is considered one of the most ancient here and means “fire”. Another name that also symbolizes fire is Edan. But quite rarely, Conley translated means “purification by fire.”

Interestingly, Scandinavian names have been gaining popularity lately. Which among them are suitable for red-haired boys? Experts identify the following: Vulcan, which symbolizes the god of fire and crafts, or the ancient name Solgerd, which means “protection of the sun.” Recently, the following fire names have gained the most popularity: Brand, which means “fire” and Kenneth, born in fire.

Among the most unusual names, it is worth paying attention to Kagutsuchi, which has Japanese roots and means the god of fire and volcanoes. These also include Muslim name Yadar, symbolizing the fiery man.

These are the names numerologists recommend for red-haired children, since they will be able to reveal all facets of a person - from emotional to creative. It is also interesting that such names add charm to anyone who bears them, and some of them are even among the most sweet-sounding names in the world. What name to choose for your baby is up to the parents to decide, but those who are trying to find a sunny and fiery name for their child should take a closer look at the proposed options.
