Strange Soviet names. Dazdraperma and Kukutsapol: strange names of Soviet children. Place names and seasons

Parents were often inspired by rivers, cities and mountains. Children were given names: Neva, Cairo, Lima, Paris, Himalayas, Altai, Angara, Ural and even Avksoma - Moscow is the other way around.

Also in honor were minerals and chemical elements: Granite, Ruby, Radium, Tungsten, Helium, Argent, Iridium.

Borrowed names

It has become quite popular to name children in honor of foreign heroes related either to the cause of the revolution or to art and science. So, in the USSR, girls began to appear named Angela (in honor of the American human rights activist Angela Davis), Zarema (a borrowed name that was attributed to the meaning "for the revolution of the world"), Rosa (in honor of Rosa Luxemburg), Clara - like Zetkin. The boys were called John or Jonrid (after the writer), Hume - in honor of the philosopher David Hume, Ravel (as the French composer Maurice Ravel) or Ernst - in honor of the German communist Ernst Thälmann.

The revolution of 1917 influenced not only the further political events of the country, but also the names of children. Some of them today cause distrust (such as Percosrak or Vaterpezhekosma), as they are more like outright name-calling. However, many so-called revolutionary names did occur in the Soviet Union.

Geographic names

Such "imyatvorchestvo" was most popular in the thirties of the last century. On these dates just falls the peak of the shock associated with the formation and the beginning of the functioning of the country, which occupied one sixth of the land. It is indicative (according to the observations of old-timers) that for the most part people called their children this way without any coercion from the authorities.

These names are based on geographical features, the names of which served to create a new name for the "progressive" youth. The name of a person could be a mountain, a river, the name of a city; curious that not only Soviet, but also foreign names of objects were used as a basis.

Among such male names, the most famous are the Himalayas, Ural, Altai, Cairo, Irtysh, Paris. Female names in the same style - Neva, Lima, Angara, Volga, Florence, Taigina (from the word "taiga"). Avxoma stands apart - the name of the capital is the opposite.

Names by month

The dates of the events of the past years (especially those that were somehow connected with the revolution) were celebrated by the whole friendly country; in those days it was considered a special honor to be born, for example, in October or November. Of course, this contributed to the fact that ordinary Soviet citizens called their sons and daughters names "by month":

• January, Januarius and Yanvarina.
• Fevralin and Fevralina.
• Martha, Martyn, Martimyan, Marcin, Vosmart (March 8).
• Aprelina, Aprelius (changed from "Aurelius").
• Maya, May, May Day, Maina.
• Julius (in tune with Julius).
• Augustine, August.
• Sentyabrina.
• Oktyabrina, Oktyabrin. Unusual October names include those derived from Lenin, Stalin and the Revolution.
• Noyabrina (which is the notorious Nonna Mordyukova).
• Dekabrina (the first world chess champion in Moldova - Dekabrina Volfovna Kazatsker).

In addition, in the USSR at that time, a child could bear the name of a tree. The boy could well “be” an Oak, Cedar or Ash, and some girls were named Azalea, Birch, Chrysanthemum, Carnation or Alder. And the names Rose and Lily are still very common.

Communication with science and the army

The scientific achievements of the Soviet Union, even today, inspire pride in their country; and in those days it was an incredible rallying factor. Therefore, there is nothing surprising in the appearance of small Perkosrakov (stands for the First Space Rocket), Uryurvkosov (meaning “Hurray, Yura in Space”!) and similar names.

Technical advances

Carrying out such large-scale events around the country as industrialization and electrification led to the emergence of names such as Electrina, Electromir, Elina, Industrial, Energia, Industrina and Netta. Interest in the exact sciences, as well as an increase in the level of education of the population, predetermined the birth of girls and boys with wonderful, albeit not very original, names:

• Algebrin.
• Hypotenuse.
• Median
• Ampere.
• Curie.
• Micron.
• Electron.
• Volt.
• Minora (in honor of the musical harmony in music). "Major" as a name, by the way, was not used in the Soviet Union.
• Granite, Lapis lazuli and Basalt (the influence of geologists in the family is noticeable).

Chemists generally have a whole table of elements, in which there are sonorous names worthy of the builders of communism - Radium, Ruthenium, Vanadium, Iridium, Columbium (now this element is called niobium), Tungsten, Argent, Helium; some of them are still in use today.

The release of the Soviet electric plow (or tractor) "Kommunar" in 1924 predetermined the appearance of Traktorin and Traktor among girls and boys, respectively. Of course, the name "Kommunar" was also not left without attention, adding only minor changes to the word - Kommunar, Kommuner, Kommunelle. According to unconfirmed reports, in the first years of the founding of the USSR, there were such names as Harvester, Turbine, Railcar, Diesel; some lucky ones could be named after a walking excavator (Shaes) or a central pharmacy warehouse (Tsas).

Scientific expeditions

The achievements and exploits of scientists who went to explore the Arctic, as well as the exploits of the expedition of Otto von Schmidt and Ivan Dmitrievich Papanin, not only inspired people with enthusiasm and pride in their own people, but also inspired them to create unusual names, the purpose of which was to perpetuate the activities of folk heroes (well, , to some extent, become involved in their success). Among them, it stands out Sevmorputin is not what comes to mind first, but the "Northern Sea Route".

The events that developed as a result of the operation to rescue the steamship "Chelyuskin" contributed to the appearance among the people of the name Oyushminald (O. Yu. Drepanald, meaning the same).

Advances in the space industry

The historical flight of Yuri Gagarin, as well as other cosmonauts, caused a flurry of various newly invented Soviet names (the abbreviations of which are not so easy to decipher for a modern person), as well as some slogans addressed to the people.

A striking example of such a name is Vaterpezhekosma, or "Valentina Tereshkova, the first woman astronaut." There is an analogue of such a name (although it is difficult to call it a name) - Walterperzhenka, the essence is the same.

Gagarin, who conquered Soviet people not only by his feat, but also by his charming smile, he became the "culprit" of such names as Uryurvkos, Yuralga (the initials of the cosmonaut), Yuravkos, Yurvkosur, Yurgag, Yurgoz (Yuri Gagarin circled the Earth) and Urgavneb (hurray, Gagarin in the sky).

Red Army

No less than science, the USSR revered its army, the day of its formation - February 23, 1918. Children were called not only the abbreviation of the red army, but also abbreviated chants and slogans of those years:

• Lenar, Arvil - Lenin's army. The female version is Lenara.
• Lenguard - Lenin's Guard.
• Krarmia, Krasarmia and Krasarmiya are the red army.
• Flame, Red Army.
• Star, Zvezdarina.
• Voenmore is a military sailor.
• Pobisk is a generation of fighters and builders of communism.

In those days, the name Kaleria could be encountered, meaning "an easy victory of the red army over the Japanese imperialists." Such long abbreviations, as you know, were not uncommon in Soviet times.

Some people at that time could be called Comrade and Comrade (they were worn, for example, by Tuvan sculptor Ondar Comrade Chadambaevich and politician Vladislav Tovarishtayovich Khovalyg). You can also add to this list designations of equipment and specific army terms - Aviation, Vanguard (there was such an actor - Leontyev Avangard Nikolaevich), Avia, Avietta, Aurora and Aurora, Barrikad (scientist Zamyshlyaev Barrikad Vyacheslavovich), Barrikada, as well as the wonderful name Glavspirt and other.

Patriotic appeals and slogans

The vast area of ​​propaganda of the Soviet Union was built on short chants and slogans expressing certain ideas of communism in a concise form; many ridiculous and strange names of Soviet origin are an abbreviated phrase calling to remember about Lenin's case or reminiscent of Soviet holidays.

One of these holidays was the Day of Spring and Labor - May 1, which was celebrated throughout the USSR. Perhaps the most famous unusual name is associated with this particular holiday - Dazdraperma, which means "Long live the First of May!".

They wished hello not only to such memorable dates, but also to the movement of the revolution, and even to some foreign countries. The following names are suitable for this:

• Dazdrasmygda - the name glorifies the "bow" or the union of rural and urban residents into a single people.
• Dazvsemir is the glorification of the World Revolution, the coming of which was eagerly awaited every year.
• Dazdrasen - marks the memorable date of the October Revolution (November 7).

Dazdranagon wished good health to the entire population of Honduras (of course, first of all to the communist leaders like Padilla Rusha), Dalis - the first letters of the names of Lenin and Stalin, and Dasdges - to the builders of the Dnieper Hydroelectric Power Station. Such appeals could have an educational character, for example, "Down with illiteracy!" transformed into female name Dolonegram. In 1925, the name Lyubistin (love the truth) and others like him were recorded.

Political figures

After great victory over the fascists, names appeared, in one way or another connected with this memorable date. Pofistal is a male name glorifying Stalin("I. Stalin defeating the fascists"), Victory, Pravdina, Svoboda, Sostager (the soldier is a Stalinist hero), Stalber (Stalin, Beria), Stator (Stalin triumphs); and sometimes just Stalin, Sotsialina, Stalen, Stalenite, Stalenberia, Stalik, Staliy, Staliv.

However, the desire to name their children in an original way was present not only under Lenin and Stalin; the era of Khrushchev also distinguished itself with some gems in the field of names. For example, Kukutsapol (stands for "corn is the queen of the fields"), Kinemm, derived from the word "cinema", Sickle-and-Hammer or simply Sickle (or simply Hammer, the meaning is clear without explanation), Glasp (publicity of the press), as well as Niserkh (the first letters of Khrushchev's name).

An interesting example of a name, the purpose of which is not to glorify a figure or field of science, but to brand a person with shame; in particular, Solpred stands for "Solzhenitsyn is a traitor." And the successes in the implementation of the economic plan were reflected in names like Uspepa (successes of the first five-year plan), Pyatvchet and Pyachegod - "five in four" or a five-year plan in four years.

Lenin and his ideology

Undoubtedly, the leader of the world proletariat and one of the main ideologues of communism is the leader as the basis for the people's imyatnosti. Some of the names are still used by humans today; others have sunk into oblivion because of the collapse of the USSR, as well as because of their frank absurdity. These names fall into three main groups:

• Leader's full name: Vladlen and Vladlena, Vladil, Vladilen, Viulen, Vlail, Violen, Viorel, Vil (initials), Vilenin, Velenin, Vilorik, Villior, Vileor, Vilork, Vilor (father of the revolution or liberator of workers and peasants), as well as simply Leader.
• Abbreviations denoting the initials of politicians, famous communists or slogans associated with Vladimir Ilyich: Vinun (Vladimir Ilyich will never die), Volen (Lenin's will), Delezh (Lenin's cause lives on), Ledrud (Lenin is a friend of children), Lengenmir (Lenin is genius of the world), Leundezh (Lenin died, but his work lives on), Mels (Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin) and the like.
• Indirectly associated with the leader, names that are most popular in the 20s and 30s of the 20th century. Rem (World Revolution), Rem (Revolution, Engels, Marx), Tomik (triumph of Marxism and communism), Tomil (triumph of Marx and Lenin), Rome (Revolution and peace), Roblen (born to be a Leninist), Revmark (revolutionary Marxism) , Maenlest (initials of Marx, Engels, Lenin, Stalin), Marlene (a combination of Marx and Lenin), as well as the call-name Lyublen (love Lenin).

Among the most popular names in the USSR are Ninel (the leader's surname is the opposite) and Luigi, which was borrowed from abroad. The decoding of some of the names is truly amazing: Trolebuzina is a name that includes the letters of the surnames of four political figures - Trotsky, Lenin, Bukharin and Zinoviev.

Wanting to stand out among other families (or maybe wanting to please the Soviet regime), some citizens called their sons names like Priespar (hello to the delegates of the party congress), Yasleik (me with Lenin and Krupskaya), Izil (fulfill the precepts of Ilyich), Kim (the communist ideal of youth ), Istmath (historical materialism) and the unsurpassed Vydeznar (which means - hold the banner of the revolution above!).

Of course, the girls were also not "offended" by a mediocre name, calling them in addition to Dazdraperma and other revolutionary names: Isaida (fulfill the precepts of Ilyich, baby), Donaire (daughter of the new era), Dotnara (daughter of the working people), Bukharin (of course, in honor of the leader), Buden, Zheldor ( Railway), Zaklimen (the first lines of the "Internationale"), Capital, Lail (Ilyich's lamp), the less funny Lucius, as well as all derivatives of the word "revolution" (Revolla, Remir, Revold, Revolut, Revita).

The imagination of Soviet parents truly knew no bounds. But all new names and derived forms can be conditionally divided into several groups. Geographical names and seasons It was possible to choose a name by the month of birth: December, Dekabrina, Noyabrina, Sentyabrina, Fevralin, Aprelina. Well, and especially lucky those whom she called Oktyabrenok. Parents were often inspired by rivers, cities and mountains.

Minerals and chemical elements were also in honor: Granite, Ruby, Radium, Tungsten, Helium, Argent, Iridium.
