Origin of the name Shamil

Linguists put forward three versions of the origin of the name. It is believed to be of Arabic origin with a certain etymological meaning and positive context: “comprehensive”, “absorbing only the good”, “representing the totality of positive qualities”.

According to another alternative version, it is simply an Arabic version of the pronunciation of the Hebrew name Samuel. Pronounced in Hebrew as “Shmuel”, the translation from the Hebrew language has the interpretation “God’s name”, “heard by the Lord.” This interpretation has a direct connection with the prophet Samuel, who, according to legend, compiled the Book of Judges – one of the parts of the Old Testament.

Another version also refers to the interpretation of the Hebrew name Samey, which has the interpretation “God heard.” The prophet Samey lived in more ancient times (1797th century BC), born during the reign of Solomon, according to legend he was able to hear the revelations of the Lord. After a certain time, this name with a slightly different sound spread in the Muslim world. The name Shamil is not in the Orthodox church calendars. The most famous bearer of the name was the national hero and respected imam of the peoples of the Caucasus – the Avar Shamil (1871‒XNUMX).

The meaning and characteristics of the name Shamil

The energy of the name is characterized by fearlessness, self-sufficiency, independence from outside opinions, but at the same time capriciousness and sentimentality. As an adult, Shamil carefully hides these last qualities and is able to reveal his soul only to truly close people. In childhood, these qualities can provoke rude behavior towards others. But if he feels reliable support from his parents and sees them as role models, he will show himself to be an ordinary inquisitive child, a little restless during school, but grasping information on the fly.

By directing some of your energy to active sports, not only your academic performance will benefit, but also your overall health. Sports activity will help resist such a bad habit as smoking, to which Shamil is highly susceptible, and will relieve possible back problems in adulthood.

The makings of leadership qualities only grow as they grow older, but simplicity in communication impresses the people around them, which has a positive effect on any team actions and helps to gain respect in the team. Areas of activity that bring financial well-being and personal satisfaction: trade, management, economics. Growing up, Shamil is attracted to a military career, but this is not his path: independence and a bit of stubbornness will prevent him from reaching the desired heights.

In personal life, a very reliable, faithful partner, if the other half demonstrates a harmonious combination of spiritual qualities and external attractiveness. Being a passionate, temperamental man, Shamil will never follow a woman’s lead. Only a wise, kind girl can marry herself, recognizing the leadership of her future husband. Shamil will be an ideal father, a real support for the children, although they will feel his severity.
