History of the origin of the name Frol
The etymology of this beautiful and very rare name goes back to the Latin “flos”, “floris” – “flower”, “blooming”. In the European sound, the name is pronounced as “Flor” or “Fleur”, while in different countries it is a shortened version of the full form: Florian (English-speaking countries), Florian and Florinda (Portuguese group of languages), Florin (French-speaking and Germanic countries), Florio (Italian sound), Florin and Fjallho (northern Europe, Sandinavia). It is noteworthy that in our time the name is more often used in a feminine way than in a masculine one – Flora, Floriana.
The name came to Eastern Europe and Slavic languages along with Orthodoxy from Byzantium and Greece, but due to the peculiarities of speech, its pronunciation changed to the more convenient Frol and in this form has been consolidated until our times. However, the description of the name is given based on the original sound.
The meaning and characteristics of the name Frol
The strength and characteristics of a name are directly related to the frequency of its use. Apparently, this is why Frol is endowed with a character woven from complex and contradictory traits, and it is quite difficult for his family and friends to find mutual understanding with him. As, indeed, it is not easy for the owner of the name to build relationships with the world around him.
In Frol, on the one hand, an analytical mindset and a desire for logical conclusions are clearly expressed, on the other hand, a creative nature and a sense of beauty. Despite his outward isolation and even dryness, at any age he remains a vulnerable, deeply feeling person, but he shows these traits only to the closest people. To casual acquaintances he seems cold, calculating and proud. Such a mask appears in childhood; it allows Frol to protect his inner world from ridicule and criticism, which the boy endures extremely hard.
Frol is the embodiment of determination and perseverance. He thinks for a long time about an idea or a decision, but as soon as he has a goal, he certainly achieves it. All his efforts are related to his career; he rarely devotes time to his family and children, believing that a man’s duty is only to ensure material well-being. Love and warmth in family relationships are not something fundamental for him; he chooses his wife for a long time and scrupulously, since she must fully correspond to his ideals. And at the same time, he has a very deep understanding of family values, the desire to serve loved ones, to be needed and important. Therefore, he chooses a life partner once, often already at a fairly advanced age, does not accept divorce, and is extremely sincere and faithful in marital relationships. His family will feel like they are behind a stone wall.
Frol is very thorough in his thoughts, actions, feelings, and this property of his is manifested in the outside world. He always gravitates toward stability, even routine, and does not like change: as a rule, he lives his life in the same place, works for years in the same company, and even prefers to spend his vacations the same way. His loved ones will have to get used to this feature and, if changes are required, find compelling logical justifications for them.
