The history of our country is closely intertwined with the culture of different world powers. There has always been a special relationship with France.

The cultural heritage of this country has left its significant imprint on Russian art, philosophy and science.

The unusual tradition of naming girls with melodious French names dates back to the 19th century, when the mutual influence of the two countries was at its maximum.

This article will tell you how romantic French names for girls are formed, and why they still do not lose their popularity in other countries.

Features of French names and surnames

The beauty and euphony of French names have won many hearts. Therefore, every year in different parts globe new owners of beautiful female names with an unusual sound melody appear.

When naming your daughter in French, you need to know the meaning of her unusual name and how it will sound in Russian.

It is interesting to note that in France there is a tradition of giving newborns double or even triple names. Most often these are names of the same gender and a hyphen is used when writing them.

But there are cases when a woman’s name consists of one name female, and the other is male.

To correctly name a girl, the female name is placed first and the male name second. For example: Nicole Vincent. If these names are swapped, you get a name for a boy: Vincent-Nicole.

Important: if a girl was given a double French name at birth, then that is what she should be called.

If the daughter is named Nicole-Vincent, then that is her name in ordinary life, not abbreviated Nicole.

Initially, names for girls in France were given according to the following tradition, which was used from generation to generation:

1. When compiling complex name for the first daughter they used: the name of the maternal grandmother, then the name of the paternal grandmother, and at the end there is the name of the saint, which is honored on the day of the baby’s baptism.
2. To to name the second daughter, the name of the maternal grandmother was used first, and then the name of the paternal grandfather.

Currently, this tradition is observed extremely rarely. Any beautiful name with a melodic sound is chosen for the child, which is approved either by the parents or all close relatives.

French names. French male names and their meanings

Attention! Sites and blogs have appeared on the Internet that are not our official sites, but use our name. Be careful. Fraudsters are using our name, our email addresses for your newsletters, information from our books and our websites. Using our name, they lure people to various magical forums and deceive (they give advice and recommendations that can harm, or lure money for conducting magical rituals, making amulets and teaching magic). On our websites we do not provide links to magic forums or websites of magic healers. We do not participate in any forums. We do not give consultations over the phone, we do not have time for this. Note! We do not engage in healing or magic, we do not make or sell talismans and amulets. We do not engage in magical and healing practices at all, we have not offered and do not offer such services. The only direction of our work is correspondence consultations in writing, training through an esoteric club and writing books. Sometimes people write to us that they saw information on some websites that we allegedly deceived someone - they took money for healing sessions or making amulets. We officially declare that this is slander and not true. In our entire life, we have never deceived anyone. On the pages of our website, in the club materials, we always write that you need to be an honest, decent person. For us, an honest name is not an empty phrase. People who write slander about us are guided by the basest motives - envy, greed, they have black souls. The times have come when slander pays well. Now many are ready to sell their homeland for three kopecks, and engage in slander against decent people even simpler. People who write slander do not understand that they are seriously worsening their karma, worsening their fate and the fate of their loved ones. It is pointless to talk with such people about conscience and faith in God. They do not believe in God, because a believer will never make a deal with his conscience, will never engage in deception, slander, or fraud. There are a lot of scammers, pseudo-magicians, charlatans, envious people, people without conscience and honor who are hungry for money. The police and other regulatory authorities have not yet been able to cope with the growing influx of "Deception for profit" madness. Therefore, please be careful!

The full name formula is approximately the same for all countries: first name + last name. Patronymic names are used mainly only in the countries of the former USSR.

In some cases, it uses a polynomial form of writing a name - double, triple or more, when one of the components is the names of the father, mother, and other close relatives. But in modern families, the shortest possible form of recording is becoming increasingly popular.

English names and surnames

In England, a child is given two names at once: personal name and middle name. The order of recording a name is strictly fixed: first the personal name, then the middle name (if any) and only then the surname. Reverse order found exclusively in paper encyclopedias and telephone directories.

Types of English surnames:

• one-piece: Forest, Fox, Bush,
• double: with prefixes -son, -ing, anthropometrically indicating a descendant - Willing, Johnson, Robertson, Dickson.

French names and surnames

France has a similar naming system. For the most part, they are formed on the basis of the Roman Catholic church calendar. Polite address in French is usually preceded by a title.

Interesting forms of polite address in France

French men are addressed as Monsieur - singular, or Messieurs - plural. In writing they are written as M. and MM., sometimes as a variant of Mr and Mrs, respectively.

Unmarried girls in France are addressed as mademoiselle. To married, divorced, widows - madam. If you don't know for sure marital status interlocutors, you can address mademoiselle to young women and madam to older ladies. Mademoiselle is also the name given to all actresses and singers, regardless of age and status. Such a clear gradation appeared after the Great French Revolution. Although recently, for correction reasons, a single appeal from madam to all women has been adopted, regardless of age, marital status and social status.

In official documents to married ladies, the structure of the address is as follows:

• madam;
• husband's name;
• surname.

Thus, the wife of Monsieur Andre Limoges will be called Madame Andre Limoges. Widows were previously addressed using the following formula:

• widow;
• husband's name;
• husband's last name.

Today this form is outdated and practically not used.

Special treatment is also accepted among the military:

• when communicating with each other - address by rank with the possessive pronoun “mon commandant”, “mon colonel”;
• address of a civilian to a military man - lord (monsieur) + rank: "monsieur le commandant", "monsieur le colonel";
• in the third person rank + surname.

Every Frenchman can have any number of personal names, but in practice they are all used only in official documents: birth certificates, passports, marriage certificates, diplomas. This rule does not apply to compound names (Anna-Marie, Jean-Claude, Jean-Jacques). The custom of giving a large number of names go back to ancient times, when parents tried in this way to ensure the patronage of as many saints as possible for their newborn. In practice, it looks like this: the boy’s birth certificate says Andre Michel Pierre Paul, and at school or at home he is simply called Andre. By the way, this is also very convenient, because at any time a person can change his main name, calling himself any other name from the long “list” received at birth.

Exists exact date appearance of surnames in France. On April 14, 1539, King Francis I of France, by his decree, ordered that any nickname, nickname, etc., be assigned to each subject without fail, which was to be recorded in church books and passed on by inheritance without the right to change.

Naming schemes for polysyllabic names in France

1. name - the name of the paternal grandfather. For the second son - the name of his paternal great-grandfather.
2. name - the name of the maternal grandfather. For the second son - the name of his maternal great-grandfather.
3. name - the name of the Catholic saint on whose day the child was born or was baptized.

1. name - the name of the maternal grandmother. The second daughter is the name of the maternal great-grandmother.
2. name - the name of the paternal grandmother. The second daughter is the name of the paternal great-grandmother.
3. name - the name of the saint.

However, these options are not required. Children are given names in honor of their parents, godparents, and any close and distant relatives.

For several decades in a row, non-traditional, often foreign names: Dylan, Kevin, Axel, Ocean, Ines, Zhadi. On a par with full forms are used short forms: Theo - abbr. from Theodore, Enzo - from Lorenzo, Louis - from Louis, Margot, Marion - from Margarita and Maria. The French ending of female names - the unpronounceable "e" - is increasingly changing to a: Dian - Diana, Pauline - Polina, Anne - Anna, Angelique - Angelique. Short derivative forms from Russian names are also popular here: Sasha, Nadya, Sonya, Natasha.

IN modern France By law, a child must receive a surname from the father if the couple is married, and from the mother if not. Recently, couples have been given the right to choose whose surname the heir will be registered in or even give a double surname - with a hyphen.
