Think about what the name of a girl born for joy will sound like. Russian names in English: rules of spelling and pronunciation

When we translate a sentence, we capture the meaning of their context. One word can have several meanings; we choose a specific one based on the meaning of the sentence. But what about names? There are names in Russian that do not exist in English. What to do in this case? This a difficult situation both for English speakers and for Russians, because there may be a linguistic misunderstanding. But... a way out of the situation can be found. Let's look at Russian names in English, the features of their translation and transliteration, and also consider foreign names, which correspond to Russian. Go ahead for new knowledge!

First of all, you should pay attention to transliteration. Transliteration of names – important point V correct translation Russian name into English. Why is Peter written as Pyotr? What is the reason for this translation? Why can't you just write Petr?

This is because there is such a thing as reality. These are unique ethnonational features, distinctive characteristics of a people, their customs and way of life, which are not found in other nations. That is why, in order to eliminate the language barrier The US State Department has developed a whole methodology that explains the features of translating letters from Cyrillic to Latin. The result can be seen in the table below (with English letters):

A -> A I -> I C -> S b -> goes down
B -> B Y -> Y T -> T Y -> Y
B -> V K -> K U -> U b -> goes down
G -> G L -> L F -> F E -> E
D -> D M -> M X -> KH Yu -> YU
E -> E, YE N -> N Ts -> TS I -> YA
E -> E, YE O -> O CH -> CH
F -> ZH P -> P Ш -> SH
Z -> Z R -> R Ш -> SHCH

The table shows that not all letters that exist in the Russian language exist in English ( good practice to repeat). For example, ъ and ь are omitted in the English language, that is, they do not need to be translated. It is important to remember that there are Russian letters that English language denoted as two, for example, Ш -> SH, Ц -> TS, Ш -> CH.

On a note! The letters E and E are written the same way in English => E, YE.

Elena will be Yelena, Parfenov will be Parfenov.

But! If we mean the pronunciation of Yo, then Yo should be denoted as YO => Peter -> Pyotr.

Students who are just beginning to learn about transliteration may find it difficult to tell the difference. In this case, you need to memorize the given examples, and with time and practice you will be able to easily translate the names yourself.

The letters E and E should be translated as E, but... if the letter E is at the beginning of a word, after the letters b, b or a vowel, then it should be translated as YE:

  • Elina => Elina
  • Eremin => Yeremin
  • Medvedev => Medvedev.

Note! The Russian letters Y and Y, which do not exist in English, are translated as Y, for example, Raikin -> Raykin, Nasyrov -> Nasyrov.

Special attention should be paid to endings. The pearls of the Russian alphabet Ъ and ь are beyond the comprehension of foreigners, so they are simply omitted, that is, they are not translated in any way: Podjemny -> Podyomny, Daria -> Darya.

If we talk about the endings IY and YY, popular in Russian, then everything is simple: both endings are translated as Y:

  • Bravy -> Bravy
  • Bold -> Smely
  • Dmitry -> Dmitry

The name Yulia, popular in Russian, is translated as follows:

  • Julia -> Yuliya.

Note! Yu and Ya are denoted in English by two letters. But not only them. Ж and Х are also denoted by two letters => ZH and KH, respectively, for example:

  • Jacqueline -> Zhaklin
  • Mikhail -> Mikhail.

The letter Ts, often used in Russian surnames, is translated as TS, Ch - as CH:

  • Chernova -> Chernova
  • Tsareva -> Tsaryova.

As for the letter Ш, it is also translated by two letters – Sh, and Ш – by four letters – SHCH. Let's give some examples:

  • Shchitkova -> Shchitkova
  • Shalamba -> Shalamba.

Russian names in English:is there a match?

Now the question is: how to introduce yourself to a foreigner so that he understands that this is your name, and not an adjective to something? What are we talking about? About the same realities. Translating Russian names is often problematic. Imagine what you say to a foreigner My name is Nastya, which, if translated literally, would mean My name is Nastya. Word Nastya associated with nasty, which in English means disgusting, disgusting, unpleasant. Russian name Nastya when translated into English it corresponds Anastasia.

Things are even more fun with Svetlana. Svitlana is associated with the phrase sweat Lana, which means sweaty Lana, or sweet Lana - sweet Lana.

Reference: Love is translated as Lubov. You should not call a woman's name the name of love Love.

If we are talking about names that end in b, then we omit the letter. The name Igor will sound like Igor, while phonetically the word will sound hard. Remember: there are no softenings in English.

Note! Ivan in English sounds like Ivan. The first letter is I, not AI (some foreigners call Ivanov Aivan, that is, the first letter is read as two. But this is wrong).

Important! It should be remembered that many Russian names are adapted to English ones (they are written differently from the way we are used to seeing them). Here is a small list showing the spelling of Russian names in English with translation:

Male names

  • Alexander – Eligzande (Alexander)
  • Michael – Michael (Michael)
  • Charles – Charles
  • Ivan – John, Ivan (John)
  • Matvey – Matthew (Matthew)
  • Daniel - Daniel
  • Heraclius – Hercules (Heracl)
  • Gabriel – Gabriel (Gabriel)
  • Claudius – Claude
  • Anatoly – Anatole
  • Andrey – Andrew (Andrew)
  • Vasily – Basil
  • Benjamin – Benjamin
  • Vincent – ​​Vincent
  • George - George Eugene - Eugene
  • Ephraim – Geoffrey
  • Ilya – Elias
  • Joseph, Osip – Joseph (Joseph)
  • Leo – Leo
  • Nicholas – Nicholas
  • Pavel – Paul
  • Peter - Pete (Peter)
  • Sergey – Serge
  • Stepan – Stephen, Stephen (Steven, Stephen)
  • Fedor – Theodore
  • Jacob - Jacob

Female names

  • Agnes/Agniya – Agnes (Agnes)
  • Alice - Alice
  • Anastasia – Anastacia
  • Antonina – Antonia
  • Valentina – Valentine
  • Valeria – Valery
  • Barbara – Barbara
  • Dasha - Dolly Dolly (Dorothy)
  • Eve - Eve
  • Eugenia – Eugenie
  • Catherine – Catherine, Catherine (Catherine)
  • Elena – Helen
  • Joanne, Jean
  • Zoe - Zoe
  • Irina – Irene
  • Caroline - Caroline
  • Laura – Laura, Lauren (Laura, Lauren)
  • Maria – Mary (Mary)
  • Natalya – Natalie
  • Polina – Polina (Paulina)
  • Rita – Margaret
  • Sofia – Sophie
  • Suzanne – Susan (Susan)
  • Julia – Julia

From the list it is clear that female English names , including truly beautiful ones, they can be radically different from Russians. For example, who would have thought that Jeanne would be Joan and Helen would be Helen? The same can be said about the spelling of male names. Is Ivan associated with John? But this is so! Translated into English, Ivan will be none other than John!

There are names that are easily translated and perceived, for example, Natalia and Natalie, Valeria and Valery. But in any case, the words from the list must be studied in order to appear before the eyes of a foreigner as a literate and educated person.

First name, second name. What is the difference?

when we speak first name, then this means the first name, second name – the surname. First name can also be replaced with given name, second name with surname or family name. But middle name is not the fatherland, as some believe, but the second name in English names. It's no secret that in England children are often called by two, three, or even four names. For example, the name for a girl, Anne-Marie Lisa Oster, is common.

As for the fatherland, it sounds like patronymic. Knowing the difference between first name, surname and patronymic will be especially useful for those who are planning to apply for a foreign passport. In an official setting, everything is strict and each column must be filled out clearly and correctly.

Examples of how to write a name in English, country and surname:

  • Lesovaya Olesya Evgenievna - Lesovaya Olesya Evgen`evna.
  • Koroleva Alexandra Leonidovna - Korolyova Aleksandra Leonidovna.
  • Tatarchuk Igor Grigorevich - Tatarchuk Igor Grigorevich.
  • Somova Irina Yaroslavovna - Somova Irina Iaroslavovna.
  • Krupnov Igor` Valer`evich.
  • Anisova Marina Valentinovna - Anisova Marina Valentinovna.
  • Nefyodov Denis Arkadievich - Nefyodov Denis Arkad`evich.
  • Lisitsina Daria Yurevna - Lisitsina Daria Iurevna.
  • Karelin Vladimir Sergeevich - Karelin Vladimir Sergeevich.
  • Kuzmenko Yuliya Filippovna - Kuzmenko Yuliya Filippovna.
  • Fedoruk Roman Konstantinovich - Fedoruk Roman Konstantinovich.
  • Pavlenko Maria Vladimirovna - Pavlenko Mariia Vladimirovna.
  • Kozlova Elena Vladimirovna - Kozlova Elena Vladimirovna.
  • Petrova Alexandra Pavlovna - Petrova Aleksandra Pavlovna.
  • Ivanova Tatyana Nikolaevna - Ivanova Tat`yana Nikolaevna.
  • Sinitsyn Anton Pavlovich - Sinitsyn Anton Pavlovich.

Let's sum it up

Names in English – interesting topic for studying. How to spell a name in English is the first thing you need to know when you are planning to visit a foreign country or a visit to a government agency. At the same time, it is worth remembering the realities, because in English there may be no analogues to Russian names.

And another important thing: remember about transliteration. If it is easy to say orally, then there may be problems with spelling. Initially, it is important that everything you study is written in transliteration, so that the pronunciation is correct and the names are correctly transliterated. If you have difficulty reading names in English, then transcription should be your first assistant on the way to solving the problem.

There are many beautiful and sonorous names. Sometimes people don’t even think about how and why his name is that. Psychologists say that a person’s name largely determines his character and future fate. But every name has a meaning.

Sociologists have proven that women pay a lot of attention to the meaning of their name. great attention. And this is by no means idle curiosity. After all, the meaning of a name helps to better understand a person, largely determining the character and inclinations of nature.

Women's names are as different and mysterious as their owners themselves. Since ancient times, the choice of a name for a girl has been approached with maximum attention and scrupulousness. Initially, a woman's name meant or contained some natural names or phenomena. Further female names began to play the role of a talisman, or rather a talisman. Which actually continues to this day.

When choosing a name for your little daughter, you should not rush, follow the beaten path and name her in honor of relatives. Or succumbing to fashion to choose Name born girl fashionable and rare. Remember, by giving a name to your little daughter, you determine her destiny and character.

It sounds quite mystical, but, nevertheless, it is so. And by giving a girl the wrong name, you risk setting her up for emotional conflict.

It has been noticed more than once, and not by scientists, but simply by people. When, in the presence of a baby, they begin to list the names prepared for him, the baby will definitely “react” to some name. And more specifically in your name.

It’s also a good idea to pay attention to the horoscope. You can find recommendations from astrologers about preferred and undesirable names for a particular zodiac sign.

But if we move a little away from mysticism and astrology, and turn to science, then modern scientists, psychologists and sociologists, have noted the fact that in different times children are born with certain character traits.

Girls born in summer months, characterized by gentleness and trustfulness. These girls are easily influenced. This means that it is worth choosing “solid” names for them.

Girls who were lucky enough to be born in the spring months combine inconstancy and self-criticism, a sharp mind and good feeling humor. But they also have traits - frivolity and some self-doubt. Based on this, it is better for them to choose names among the “solid-sounding” ones.

Girls born in winter combine selfishness and hot temper in their character; they have some intolerance. But having a strong character, they achieve what they want. This means that soft and gentle names are best suited for them. This will balance their difficult nature.

Concerning named after a girl born in the autumn months, they can have any names. What distinguishes them is easy character, they are characterized by seriousness and prudence, they have talent.
