In ancient times, this name was very popular, but since the October Revolution of 1917, it has completely disappeared from use. Only recently, with the fashion for old-fashioned names of newborns, they began to call them Makaras again.

A Slavic name that seems to speak for itself – “joyful, cheerful, happy.” Also Rada (or Radusya and Radochka) can be an abbreviated version of such names as Radislav, Radoslav, Radmir, Radan.

This name was first mentioned in the Bible (that was the name of the youngest son of Jacob and Rachel) and is translated as “the son of my right hand” or “happy son”. In Europe and America, we note, Benjamin will be called Benjamin or Benjamin. And in Russia, at home – just Venya.

Few people know that the Greek name Euphrosyne also means “joy, joy”, as well as “good-minded.” With this arrangement, it seems that little Frosya (this is how this name sounds in a diminutive version) has every chance of growing up as an optimistic and wise girl.

Don’t think that we were wrong. Tikhon actually has nothing to do with the word “quiet”. The name came to us from Byzantium and, as they say, comes from the name of the ancient Greek goddess of luck Tyukhe and, accordingly, has the meaning of “luck” or “fate”. In ancient Russia, we note that boys from simple families were called Tishas, ​​but then the name became especially popular among monks.

The name is rooted in Baltic mythology: that was the name of the goddess of happiness and good luck, who patronized couples in love. In our country, by the way, girls began to be called Limes thanks to the singer from Latvia Laima Vaikule.

A Greek name that has several translations. According to one of them, Arkady means “happiness” or “happy country”.

The most common are Arkasha, Adik, Arik, Arya, Adya and Arkadyushka.

Many in our country think that Zita is an Indian name. Which is not surprising. One has only to remember the film “Zita and Gita”, which was especially popular in Soviet times. However, according to one of the versions, this name also has Latin roots with the meaning “happy”. In general, you can safely call your daughter Zita. Moreover, her diminutive version is incredibly touching: Zizi.

So, according to the first version, Felix is ​​translated as “happy”, “prosperous”, “favorable”, “bringing happiness”, according to the second – “fertile”, according to the third – “blessed”, according to the fourth – “rich” and, finally, according to the fifth is “pleasing”. With such a characteristic, little Fela (or Elya) can become a very successful person.

In Russia, this name is quite rare. But in the West it is very common. Only in different countries it sounds different: in the USA – Latisha, in Scotland – Ledicia, in Spain, Italy and France – Leticia.
