Beautiful female names necessarily contain some mystery and mystery. They fill their owners with femininity, tenderness and wisdom.
Beautiful Russian names have different origins - Greek, Scandinavian, Slavic. This list can also include Catholic names, in which Russian parents also show interest. And although most of these names have an Orthodox analogue, focused on the sound in the Russian language, this does not prevent European names from appearing in the lists of beautiful female names among young Russian women.
Most Russian female names, which are considered beautiful, are also the most popular. In modern times, this list has been supplemented with rare names, and foreign, some of which were initially given only to “our own” (Muslim women, for example, or Jewish women). By origin they cannot be called Russian, but in lately Russian girls are also called these names (Maryam, Eileen, Nicole). New trends make some adjustments to the list of favorite names for girls, but in general it remains unchanged for several years.
In Islam, the birth of a child is a sacred event, and Muslims are very responsible in choosing a name. Women's names among Muslims are designed to determine the main feature of a person. For example, Jamila means "beautiful" and Asiya means "naughty".
A large number of names for Jewish women are related to the Bible. And to this day these names are in common use among them. Names that come from the Yiddish language are considered the most beautiful Jewish names. An example is the fairly widespread Reize (meaning “rose”) and Liebe (translated as “beloved”).
Recently, Israelis and other Jews have also been choosing simply beautiful-sounding combinations for their girls. For this reason, completely unusual names appear that have nothing to do with Jewish traditions. This is where a shortened name can gain independence: Esti can be a full name among Jews, while in Europe it is a common affectionate term for Esther.
Modern beautiful female names
Modern names have great variety. These are not only traditional (most often religious), but also completely new, sometimes invented, sometimes well-forgotten old names. At the same time, it cannot be said that the preferences of Europeans will be identical to the tastes of Russians or Asians. There are many peoples of different cultures, religious denominations and historical roots living in Russia, respectively, and there will be no consensus on what names for girls will be considered modern and beautiful at the same time.
A similar picture exists in Europe and the USA, where people live on a vast territory various people. And the list of beautiful female names for English women will be strikingly different from the melodic Bulgarians or Swedes.
The most recognizable in the world are Italian female names ending with the endings “-a” and “-e”. In modern Italy, the names Violetta and Lucrezia are very common.
In Spain, officially female names can consist of two first and last names, but in fact girls are given as many names as their parents want. The most popular in this country today are Maria, Carmen and Camilla. Most Spanish names are associated with religion, just like the Germans, by the way.
Today in Germany the popularity of diminutives and shortened double names is growing. For example, Kate or Anna-Marie. One of the modern beautiful German names is the name Mia, which appeared as an abbreviation for Maria, and began to be actively used in the last decades of the twentieth century. Since 2007, an increasing number of newborn German women have been given this name; it is considered beautiful and sonorous. A modern competitor in beauty, Hannah (similar to the name Anna), is also competing for the love of German parents and is considered one of the most beautiful modern names in the world.
Beautiful Russian female names
Russian names enjoy a certain interest outside their country. Many short and affectionate names in their homeland have become full-fledged names abroad. Very “Russian”, according to foreigners, the names Natasha, Tanya and Sasha are now heard quite often with an American or Brazilian accent.
But in Russia itself, they currently prefer to adhere to centuries-old traditions - they take Christian or Slavic names, although there are fashion trends here too. Modern Russian female names include not only Orthodox, but also others - Catholic, Slavic, Roman. Although before the baptism of Rus' the people did not have full names, everyone got by with nicknames.
Ancient Russian names most often represented a description of the most striking feature of its owner, and they were given to the girl when she became a teenager, or rather, for that time, suitable for future marriage. And they did not always become a girl’s adornment; sometimes it only emphasized her shortcomings or birth order. Now, of course, such names are not used at all, and preference is given to sonorous, beautiful Slavic names - Lyubava, Lada, Bogdana, Milena.
Modern beautiful Russian female names. Currently, Orthodox names are becoming increasingly widespread among Russian female names. They occupy the first lines of the popularity rating among Russian names, as well as the first lines of the rating of beautiful female names. Anastasia, Ekaterina, Maria and Sophia firmly hold the top positions, but less common, and sometimes even forgotten over the last 50 years, names are also appearing - Angelina, Veronica, Varvara and others.
The greatest variety of beautiful Russian female names can be found in cities with a population of over a million, where different cultures come into contact. It is here that the difference between ultra-modern and very old name: everything seems so new that sometimes you don’t understand whether it’s a tribute to fashion or an already established trend of returning to antiquity.
It is in big cities a real foreign name may sound like “Russian”. The name Christina was used in Catholic Europe, and its Orthodox analogue (Christina) is considered in Russia a relic of past centuries and is found practically nowhere. Now he has a chance - the European analogue, Christina, has begun to win Russian hearts. The name Alice is of German origin, and now it is already in the top 10 most popular and, apparently, most beautiful names - after all, modern parents will not give their daughters an ugly and intimidating name!
Russian names
The most beautiful female names
According to world statistics, Anna firmly holds the leading position in the number of girls, girls and women bearing this name. In recent years, no less famous name Maria is hot on his heels, but so far cannot move him from his pedestal. Based on this, two names - Anna and Maria - can be considered the most beautiful modern female names on the entire planet.
But don’t think that now every second girl will be called that way. Various countries around the world have their own list of the most beautiful female names, most of which are very popular in their own country, although not always of “native” origin. Thus, English female names have become very popular among Russians. The list of the most popular British names includes the names Elizabeth, Ani, Louise. Slavic names in the last century were quite popular in Poland, the Czech Republic and Slovakia, and since the late 80s of the last century they have gained popularity in Russia.
In Greece, women's names were chosen with the aim of protecting their owner from troubles and troubles. The Greeks invented more and more new female names. Such names as Aphrodite, Aurora, and Barbara came to our country from Greece.
The French give girls several names. But this combination is fully used only in official documents, and in life French women use only one of them. According to tradition, French girls are given names in honor of their maternal and paternal grandmothers (for the first daughter), the second child is already named after their mothers. Currently, this tradition is not often followed - in France, “non-French” names are in fashion (usually English, American). Short ones, formed from full ones - Theo, Loïc, Sasha, Natasha, are also very popular and loved among the French. The spelling of French female names has changed - the ending “-a” has been added (Eva instead of Eve, Celia instead of Celie), but no changes have appeared in the Russian pronunciation. These are the names that are currently considered the most beautiful in France.
In France now you can often find beautiful female Muslim names, but still more among Arabic-speaking residents. Borrowed foreign names are extremely popular in this country, but they are still perceived by the French as “foreign” - Karla, Axel, Lea, Lola.
It is quite difficult to trace the popularity trend in American names. They are very diverse in the USA. There are even girls named after some event or area where they were born. American names also mostly have biblical origins. Americans have very independent tastes depending on the state, but several of the names listed in the table below are considered attractive girl names by American women in almost every state.
Among the beautiful Japanese female names, new ones began to appear, which sound similar to European ones, but which are written in hieroglyphs and do not depart from Japanese traditions. They began to be considered beautiful not only from the point of view of Europeans, but also from the point of view of the Japanese. Favorite names for Japanese girls are not identical to Chinese ones, and are completely far from the preferences of American or English girls.

Zoya is quite rare in Russia, but in France it is a fairly common name, ten years ago it took 6th place in the country’s ranking. The name Laura cannot be found in Russia; in Spain, every tenth girl is given this name. The beautiful name Daria currently does not leave the top five most common in Russia, but in Europe and the Americas it is found only as a foreign, rare name.
Beautiful unusual female names. In Russia, foreign names are often called unusual. This group includes names of European origin - Ophelia, Serena, Francesca, Paola, Iris. But Russians will also be rare for Russians, most often the almost forgotten Zinaida, Claudia, Fedora, Domna.
Invented names can also be classified as unusual. They are very, very rare and rarely become publicly known. Somewhat more often, invented names can be found in the USA - Dakota, Chelsea, although in Russia you can also find several such examples - Astra, Stella, and they are not necessarily of Russian origin. IN Soviet era Many unusual names were invented, but most of them did not catch on.

The last representative of this strange family, Mr. March 1792, died in September 1904.

A rare female name may not be entirely euphonious, but it carries a colossal energy impulse. It is feminine and will definitely bring good luck to the owner. Let's go!
Rare female name - Ulyana
A beautiful name for a girl! Obviously, its origins date back to the Roman Empire. A beautiful female name is colored by the spirit of conquerors and powerful personalities. Likewise, a little beauty with a name will have a lively disposition. She has charisma and energy. If you don’t like the unusual name for a girl, Ulyana, then you can name the child Yulianna (sounding, has a softer energy). It’s also more familiar to the ear. A beautiful female name has a short form - Ulya.
A beautiful name for a girl - Melissa
A strong word in terms of energy, soft and gentle in terms of phonetics. The origin of this word goes back to ancient times. He is protected by the gods, which is important. Your child will fall under powerful protection, since a rare female name is also an “invisible” amulet. The first associations that a person experiences with this word are associated with medicinal plant. It calms nervous system and has a beneficial effect on the body. So a child named by this name will carry a positive charge. He will be welcome wherever he appears. An unusual flower, like a beautiful female name, is also associated with the forest goddess. In Babylon this was the name of the fertility deity. So you can pick good synonyms. Your child will be hard-working and kind, but will not allow himself to be offended.
Rare female name - Eva
That was the name of the mother - the ancestor of living things on earth. It is a symbol of beginning, life and light. Do you remember the legend of Adam and Eve? This beautiful female name translates as “life-giving.” By the way, more modern variations came from it, for example, Eugene or Evdokia. Such a child will have a strong will. Defend your positions, even if they run counter to public opinion. It's all about this child. Eva is a wonderful manipulator. She will easily play on human weaknesses if she needs it. A brilliant, agile and lively mind makes her look for interesting ways out of any situation. Her intelligence is enviable. There is goodness inside such a person, but to get to the bottom of it, you need to enter her circle of trust.
I like this kind of woman opposite sex. But she will approach the choice of a life partner very responsibly. Eve will marry only for love. Metaphorically speaking, she will look for Adam. Such a miss will embody all the qualities in married life: she will become a diligent housewife, a passionate lover and a caring mother. But the reins of family government will be in the hands of the spouse!
Beautiful female name - Aida
There is a mystical, strong, bewitching quality to it. The origin of this name is also shrouded in mystery. For example, some believe that it appeared to the world from Verdi’s opera. Others suggest that Egypt is involved. No wonder. Hades was the deity of the kingdom of the dead. And in the meaning of the Arab state, a beautiful female name “stands for” as “returning woman.” You will be surprised, but the epithet is even associated with Africa. We interpret it from this language, we get the word “reward”.
Obviously, an unusual name for a girl carries a powerful charge. You will definitely give her an interesting destiny. What can happen to a child? These are creative inclinations and an incredible intuitive understanding of things. The mystical name, of course, is helped by otherworldly forces. This is a connection with spirits and ancestors.
A beautiful name for a girl - Maryana
An interesting fact is that a beautiful female name includes two popular names. Can you guess which ones? In one fate of such a child, the positive characteristics of these names will be present. But what is even more surprising is the interpretation and translation of the word. And it sounds like “a beauty who is in sadness.” But this shouldn't scare you. Other meanings: “bitter” and “beloved.” Such paradoxical attitudes are received by a person named by this name. If you name your beloved daughter this way and put your soul into the name, then nothing bad, let alone terrible, will happen. Don't confuse the two different names— Maryana and a beautiful female name Marina. The latter is translated as “sea” and carries completely different bioimpulses.
Unusual name for a girl - Stanislava
A beautiful female name gives good and strong-willed energy. Such a girl will have a tempered spirit, and nothing will break her character. Slavic roots are designated here as “the formation of the soul.” Such a woman will be a leader, the first in everything. Everyone likes this nice girl. Short form- a beautiful female name Stasya. There are those who further shorten the derivative form - to Asya. You cannot force your opinion on such a girl. She will live the way she wants. Little Stasya behaves like a real bandit and rebel. She is restless and prefers active games. Therefore, in sports she is always the first. Growing up, the girl learns to control her pressure. Therefore, such children develop into strong and independent personalities.
Rare female name - Miloslava
Short form - Mila. But it also resonates with Lyudmila and Milana. But it carries a different message. It has Slavic roots and is interpreted literally - “sweet for glory.” This means that such a child is doomed to recognition. In other countries you can hear this beautiful female name in a different form - Milen, Milana.
The child is very responsive, tries to help everyone, but without infringing on his own interests. The Miloslavs are enthusiastic, friendly, but emotional. But these qualities help build a good future.
Beautiful female name - Lada
Lada is the deity of love. Did you think Venus? But in Slavic mythology it's called Lada. The first associations come with the swan bird. The word also stands for “sweetheart,” “beloved,” “wife.” So such girls will become excellent housewives, capable of creating comfort and giving warmth. They radiate an inner glow, and you want to share personal things with them and communicate. By the way, the name Vladislav has a common root with our Lada. Usually girls named this way are very loved and cared for by their parents. They are ready to do anything for the sake of their dear child. Pay attention to this point if you want to name your child this way. There is no need to allow yourself to be overly spoiled, and therefore capricious. Ladas are born careerists. Still in them for a long time maximalism plays. This also applies to love. “All or nothing” is the motto of such obstinate beauties.
Unusual name for a girl - Zlata
You don't need to pick up a dictionary to find out how this came about. Its meaning is also clear. Zlata is a Hebrew place name or word from the Greek continent. What's the first thing that comes to your mind? The word gold? That's right! Such a girl is gold for her family and loved ones. She knows how to handle money better than anyone. Zlata is thrifty and manages her budget well. She is a self-possessed, hospitable and economic person. She doesn’t like to be financially dependent on anyone, so she doesn’t want to borrow. Tactful, attentive to detail and hidden. Such girls grow up to be very diplomatic women. By nature they are homebodies.
Rare female name - Vasilisa
The heroine of Russian fairy tales. Beauty with a long braid. She is meek, gentle and magical. By giving your daughter a name, you will present a “fairytale” life. Initially, Vasilisa came to us from Greece. It sounds like “a person of royal blood.” No wonder, since after the adoption of Christianity, most of the names already rooted in our people were borrowed from Byzantium. The shortened form is Vasya, the male form of the name is Vasily. In girls named by this name, such a dominant trait is kindness. They strive to help their neighbors and protect their loved ones. Such women are very charming and have an attractive appearance. In a difficult situation, this person will always selflessly lend a helping hand. From negative aspects One can highlight stubbornness. Such ladies do not want to admit weaknesses. But in conversations they are soft and understanding.
Beautiful rare name - Sophia
Another option is Sofia. Now this rare female name is among the popular ones, and is catching up with Anna. It is translated as “wisdom”, therefore, such a girl will demonstrate good mental abilities from childhood. This means that she will easily absorb information and remember complex terms. The name, like many others, has Greek roots. In the old days, only the upper strata of society, and later the Nobility, had the right to name their daughter Sophia.

It is found in the Saints, but in modern society it is considered one of the rarest. On different languages sounds differently, and its origins “flow” from two countries - Greece and Latin America. It is translated as “messenger”. Such a girl is bright, fast, light. She is “all like her mother.” Distinctive Features character - stubbornness. These are little commanders who will not yield.

She knows how to joke, carry on a conversation, and simply amazes with optimism.
Rare female name - Arina
This name refers to an obsolete form of "Irina". The first letter was replaced and a completely new name emerged. There were plenty of Arins in Rus'. But now the good tradition is returning.

Female names in different cultures of the world
Each country and each culture has its own rules and traditions regarding the naming of future women. Female names are chosen according to different rules: somewhere the basis is centuries-old traditions, somewhere parables and legends, and somewhere, as in Western civilization, girls are given names only for standard reasons, taking into account such factors as the beauty of sound, speed of pronunciation, fame and popularity.
Take, for example, Slavic culture. There has long been only one single tradition - girls, like boys, were given a name exclusively upon reaching the age of nine, when the child could already be associated with some craft (the name was closely connected with it). Before this, the child could be called by his serial number(how he appeared in the family), or simply “Child” or “Child”.
In Muslim culture there were only a few rules. First, a woman’s name should not necessarily be listed in the name book of women’s names, the main thing is that it should be a word that, in translation, determines fate. For example, the name Aliya was translated as “exalted”, and Samiha - “generous”.
And so in each individual culture there were at one time traditions that they adhered to, giving them a name. Somewhere over time, traditions have exhausted their significance, and somewhere they are adhered to to this day. However, church names, like traditional national ones, are popular to this day. Yes, and legends and signs also have weight in today's modern times.
So, in Iceland there is only one single rule today - a woman’s name cannot begin with the English letter “S” as such, because in the local culture, in the Icelandic alphabet, this letter simply does not exist.
Modern naming traditions
Subscribe to our channel
IN Slavic culture naming traditions have been partially preserved. Thus, a tradition has been preserved, based on which a church female name should be given, taken from the name book according to the Saints, which lists the martyrs and Saints who once defended the formation of the Orthodox religion. In modern times, this tradition is not followed in every family, and yet, everyone without exception knows about it, especially since during baptism the girl is still given a female Orthodox name from among the Saints.
Catholics have a similar tradition, and in accordance with it, it is also customary to give names to women from the list of those honored in the church. True, it is worth noting that today in Catholic culture they approach the naming of newborns more responsibly than in Orthodox culture.
In Islam, it is still considered obligatory to call the future woman a name, which could determine her fate through its translation. There are no biblical or church names, and in the Koran there is only one single female name. As a result, girls are called those variations that, when translated, mean some quality (generous, bright, noble, etc.), or the name of a flower.
But in France, for example, there is only one tradition - to name children after their ancestors. So, they used to act according to one simple scheme. The girl's name had to consist of the names of her paternal and maternal grandmothers, as well as the saint venerated on the day of her baptism. In modern times, this tradition is difficult to follow. Therefore, mostly single names of relatives are given: godparents, mothers, grandmothers, aunts, etc.
Name and religiosity: the main criterion for division
All “girl names” are divided into several categories and, based on them, into a small number of subcategories. But the most important criterion of all available is the criterion of religiosity. Based on the issue of religion, the most famous female names are:
- Orthodox;
- Catholic;
- Muslim;
- Jewish.
How to choose a suitable female name in modern times?
Naturally, ideally one should follow the traditions under which a girl is born. Being an Orthodox family, you need to call by an Orthodox name, and in a Catholic family, Catholic and in accordance with the traditions of Catholics. But if traditions are not to your liking, then you can resort to standard schemes that are common throughout the world.
So, in modern times, you can choose a female name based on five important parameters: the patronizing element, the zodiac sign, the year according to the Eastern calendar, the patron planet, and religion.
With the latter, everything is clear - it is desirable that the name relates to the religion to which the family and the newborn girl are directly related. If you belong to the Orthodox category of people, then it is advisable to choose from among the Orthodox female names.
As for the other parameters, everything is simple. Each sign of the Zodiac and each animal from the Eastern calendar influences certain names in their own way with their energy.
In the same way, each name can have different energy in conjunction with one or another sign. The element is determined by the sign of the Zodiac and the date of birth of the child, but in the same way, each name is protected by one or another element. It is advisable to select a name that will correspond to all the named parameters without exception.
By the way, on our website, in the list presented, you can sort out names by elements, zodiac signs, years, and even seasons.
