The names for the shrines for boys in January: meaning, origin, patron saint. Orthodox male names in January according to the church calendar - a complete list

What name to choose for the baby? Take into account the fleeting fashion or centuries -old cultural traditions? Answers in the article. As a bonus: a detailed table with the names of the boys and the indication of the holy patrons for January.

What are holy?

Saints are not just a church calendar indicating the days of memory of the saints and the circle of church holidays. This is, first of all, a brief history of Christianity, since each name in this calendar is associated with any person or event important for Orthodoxy.
By calling your baby in the saints, you allow him to become part of the Orthodox traditions.

How to choose a child’s name for a church calendar?

Many parents complain that the names in the holy do not always correspond to the desired. In addition, many names in the saints are quite incredible (from the point of view of a modern person). But this does not mean that parents have no choice.
You can choose the name for the saints, focusing on several key dates:

  1. On the date of birth of the baby
  2. On the dates located in the interval from the date of birth to the date of baptism of the child
  3. On the date of baptism of the baby and several days in advance from the date of baptism

Important: our ancestors considered the day the child’s naming the eighth day from the date of his birth.

Choosing a name for a boy in a holy

Agree, having at your disposal 30-40 dates with names, you can always choose a wonderful name to the baby. The main thing is that the fate and deeds of the saint, whose name you are going to call the baby, inspired him and you for life, full of light, wisdom and creation.

The choice of a name for the youngest representative of the family, as a rule, causes hot disputes. The wise remark of Feofan the Recluse will reconcile all relatives and friends of the baby: "Here it will be a matter without any human reasons, as God will give: for the birthdays in the hands of God."

Rely on the wisdom of the old man and open the shrines and continue to read the article. Below you will find names for boys corresponding to the Orthodox calendar for January. The tables also contain information about the meaning of each name, about its origin and about the sincere patron sabers.
