Due to a significant number of world-renowned English writers, as well as the wide dissemination of the culture of this country, English names (girls in particular) have long ceased to be something special and unusual.
Traditionally names of immigrants from the British Isles are made up of three components: the first name, middle name and surname.However, it was not always.Previously, almost to the XVIII century, the British used the more familiar to us the form of one's name and surname.This is connected not only with the traditions of naming, and religious affiliation.In those days, the name for a newborn can be taken only from the church calendar, but was widespread tradition of naming of the church calendar.As a result, women become English names largely repeated.This, in turn, required the formation of a plurality of derivative forms of the church proposed naming the source.
which came in the XVI century on the land of England Puritanism has left its imprint on the development of cultural traditions.Due to the fact that Protestant converts tried as quickly as possible to forget about the past of the Catholic faith, the names of the babies began to get popular in those days, the names of which were taken from the New and Old Testaments.From there, there were many beautiful girls English names, but some parents were not sufficiently attentive and competent, with the result that there euphonious nickname with unsightly interpretation.For example, there was Dilaila nickname.This girl's name, betraying and selling Samson.Her behavior is hardly plausible, but the naming stick, and quite a large number of girls of that era wore that name.
Around the same time, there is the tradition of coming up with names for their children.In the beginning these were people who could not find a name that is suitable for their child.Later it became popular, and many parents would thus isolate the child from the crowd by the unusual name.But this, like many radical measures, led to excesses.So any unusual English names of girls: Faith-My-Joy (Vera-My Joy), Everlasting-Mercy (Endless-Mercy), and others.
Over time, there is a mixture of many cultures, resulting in many modern English parents call their children names borrowed from different languages and cultures.For example, there were German, Arabic, Turkish, Spanish, Italian and American names of the girls in English.Of course, there is some discrepancy with the original - the names were appropriate adaptation in accordance with the traditions and culture of language pronunciation.
Nowadays girls English names are widely known and popular worldwide.The following is a list of the most popular in the last few years, the names and their meanings:
