What does the name Nicholas mean?

From the ancient Greek language - the winner of the peoples - Nikola, Mykola. Name day of Nicholas four times a year. In the old days, schismatics vehemently rejected the Greek name Nikolai as "dog", because of the ending "barking". Therefore, the only correct form was considered - Nikola, Cola. Looking at the handsome, cheerful, sexy Nikolai, he just wants to sing “Kolya, Kolya, Nikolai, stay at home - don’t go for a walk!”

But Kolya - at least sing, at least scold, at least close the doors - he will still run away with a pretty girl. And if he also likes her, then in a day or two she will already become his legal wife.

After all, Kolya is terribly amorous, and also very jealous. However, he can still be forgiven a lot. It literally works day and night. During the day in the service, he gives all the best "from and to", and in the evening he improves his house.

If he is a simple employee, then with his colleagues he is a “shirt-guy”.

Well, if he is the boss, then he behaves like a "specific princeling." In this case, if one of the subordinates sees him in anger, then he runs away far away from his eyes. However, this situation usually does not last long. After all, Nikolai is essentially balanced, outgoing, friendly. At home (in the family), Nikolai is an exemplary, caring husband and father.

He simply loves his children. Allows them to do whatever they want. But Nikolai himself should limit something. In particular, excessive alcohol consumption.

Nikolai considers himself as the center of action, relatively little feeling other forces above and below him. He overestimates his importance in the world, and it seems to him that everything around him does not happen by itself, organically unfolding and guided by forces that have nothing to do with the implementation of human plans, but must certainly be done by some reasonable will.

Notable people named Nicholas

• Nikolay Pirogov - Russian surgeon.
• Nikolai Rubinstein is a Russian conductor.
• Nikolai Nikitin is a Soviet architect.
• Nikolai Novikov is a Russian journalist.
• Nikolai Ozerov is a Soviet tennis player.
• Nicholas Roerich is a Russian artist.
• Nikolai Pilyugin is a Soviet design engineer.
• Nikolai Leikin is a Russian writer.

Nikolai is a very common name in Russia, and in the world, perhaps, too. In this article we will talk about such a topic as the name day of the bearers of this noble Greek name, as well as about the life of their main patron saint.

Name day is a holiday that is also called the day of the angel. In fact, this is a purely church holiday, and therefore only those owners of this name who were baptized with him can celebrate the birthday of Nicholas. Unfortunately, it doesn't apply to others. As such, the day of the angel is the day of remembrance of the saint in whose honor the person was baptized. Such a saint is considered a personal patron, protector and intercessor before God for a person.

How is the day of the angel chosen?

As a rule, the day of the angel is set before baptism, when a saint is chosen, with whose name the sacrament will be performed. This choice lies entirely with the person being baptized. Or, if it is a baby, the parents solve this problem for him. There are, however, cases when a person baptized in infancy does not know in memory of which of the saints of God he was named. In this case, it is allowed to choose a patron on your own - guided either by special sympathy for one or another saint, or by a purely formal determination procedure, which consists in the fact that, according to the church calendar, the day closest to the person’s birthday is the day of memory of his namesake saint. This saint will be considered a patron. They do the same when parents come to church with a chosen name, but have no idea about which saint to baptize a child in honor of. This happens because not very believing people who baptize children simply to observe traditions or, even worse, out of superstitious fear, most often do not care who becomes the patron of their children.

Name day of Nicholas

The day on which specific Nicolai celebrate their angel day is rather difficult to determine. Firstly, because of the extreme prevalence of this name and, as a result, because of the huge number of saints bearing it. Judge for yourself - according to the church calendar, Nikolai's name day can fall on at least four dozen different dates. Secondly, despite the impressive list of holy namesakes, most of Nikolaev, at least in Russia, prefer to be baptized in honor of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, bypassing all the calendar rules for identifying saints. Usually this is due to the fact that people simply do not know any other Saints Nikolaev. Below we provide a list of the main saints revered in Russia, on whose memory day the name day of Nicholas is celebrated. However, this list is far from complete, since throughout the Orthodox world there are hundreds of saints who are widely revered in some areas and countries and practically unknown in others. Well, after the list, we will get acquainted with a brief life of the most famous saint, in whose honor the name day of Nicholas is celebrated - St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Brief Life of Saint Nicholas

You can talk a lot about who Archbishop Nicholas the Wonderworker was during his lifetime. But the trouble is that for more than one and a half thousand years (and he lived in the III-IV centuries), he turned from a historical figure into a mythological and archetypal character. From the real personality of this saint, who became the prototype of Santa Claus, there is little left - stories about fantastic miracles and some vivid historical information collected from the biographies of various bishops of the same name. Thus, the saint that we borrow is a collective, idealized image, composed partly from the biographies of several real people, partly from folk fantasies and folklore. It can only be asserted that he was born and lived in Asia Minor, occupied the chair of the archbishop of the city of Mir Lycian and preached Christianity with all his might. Among other things, he is credited with such an unseemly act as the destruction of a number of pagan sanctuaries. There is no other reliable information about him.

Only once in a lifetime do parents have the opportunity to name their child. Be sure to carefully prepare for this and discuss together those options that you like the most. Today, astrologers and other specialists talk a lot about the importance of the right choice. In their works, you can see how the fate of a person with a certain name can develop. No one can confirm or deny the reliability of such information, but it is worth familiarizing yourself with it, perhaps some arguments in the description of the option you like will become weighty reasons for making a decision.

The male name Nikolai does not lose its popularity today. Its various variations can be heard in different countries, but it came to us, like most names from ancient Greece. The literal meaning is “the conqueror of nations”. In Christianity, there is a very revered Nicholas the Wonderworker, whom our ancestors loved very much, and today many go to church with their prayers and requests. The name Nicholas for Kievan Rus became relevant only after Christianity was adopted. It is about the saint that many people think when they give their son such a beautiful and ancient name. Parents really believe that the baby will have a strong and powerful intercessor who simply cannot leave him in difficult times and will always help find a way out.

Little Kolya.

From early childhood, the baby will clearly show his parents that he really needs freedom. He will show character for any reason, and sometimes it will become difficult to cope with the baby. The child will grow up as a real fidget. Parents will be calm while he is in the kindergarten, and educators will start waiting in the morning for the child to be taken home. He needs to constantly be occupied with something so that he can sit quietly in his place. Children, watching an energetic kid, take part in all his games with pleasure and unquestioningly obey the inventor and ringleader. In kindergarten, such energy will be directed in a peaceful direction and the maximum that kids can do is to catch up or hide and seek, but in school years it will be difficult to cope with such a child.

Complaints from teachers about disruptions in lessons or similar childishness can come all the time until the child finishes 11th grade. Despite such a groovy and active character, he can still become a diligent student, especially considering that he masters almost all subjects very easily. Most often, the child shows a tendency to precise objects. The mainland and physics do not seem complicated or boring to him, he solves problems with pleasure and proves theorems, delighting both teachers and his parents.

The child is very cheerful and cheerful, he easily joins a new team and very quickly makes new friends and acquaintances. His hobby can include completely different, and sometimes incompatible things, but he has enough attention for everything. Parents will be surprised how you can play football or war games at the same time and then calmly play chess.

Parents should definitely pay attention to the fact that in some cases Kolya requires increased attention to himself or begins to playfully act up. It is impossible to respond to such provocations, and even more so to satisfy all the whims of the son, otherwise he will grow up as a very spoiled and selfish young man. Strictness in education must be present, sometimes control will be absolutely not superfluous. A child needs to be loved and pampered, but only within certain limits, he should not become the center of family life. All grievances or even children's tears about a toy left in the store, which is not really needed, should be ignored. It’s just that the child should clearly and strictly articulate why mom or dad didn’t buy what he asked for. Tantrums for show should not worry, as well as condemnation from other people. Parents should remember that all this is done only for the well-being of the child, and not for general approval.

Love.

Nikolai will grow up as a young man who will be able to first evaluate the girl's external world, and then he will evaluate all external parameters. For him, the most attractive feature will be a sharp mind and a high level of intelligence of the chosen one. In a relationship, Nikolai is able to prove himself as a jealous and possessive person. He will not listen to reproaches from the girl, even if they are really justified. If there is intimacy in a relationship, then it is at these moments that you can consider a real man, he will compliment you not out of a sense of duty, but sincerely, and when he confesses his love, then this will really be true. It should be noted that men with the name Nikolai, more often pay attention to girls with luxurious forms, without detaining their gaze on slender and thin figures.

The time of romantic dates and courtship will be organized according to all the rules, the young man will do everything as beautifully and correctly as possible. Such tactics will help him in seducing his chosen one. Kolya can do this when, even after parting with him, the girl does not have anger or resentment left, but, most likely, a slight sadness because everything ended so quickly.

Nikolay's girls can change very quickly. He loves to conquer, charm, but quickly loses interest after that. Even in a short-term relationship, he does not allow the option of betrayal, and if such a thought appears, then he simply leaves.

Families.

Lovingness can very often cause a rather late marriage, a man will carefully look at possible candidates and carefully analyze everything. If he decided to take the girl to the registry office, then he definitely loves her very much. The chosen one of such a man can become a very happy woman, because in the barque Nikolai will open up as a good owner, a caring and very attentive husband, and after some time as a truly amazing father. Such a man will very often be set as an example to their husbands by his wife's girlfriends, they may envy such family happiness and complete harmony. Infidelity in marriage is unacceptable for a man. This option is possible only if the wife refuses him intimacy. He will be able to satisfy his physiological needs with another woman, but he will begin to carefully hide such a connection from his wife.

Children will bathe in the attention of their dad, he can happily work with them and teach lessons, it is absolutely not difficult for him to take children to sections or pick them up from school. All these duties can bring him real pleasure and joy. The only problem that can arise in such a family is a man's excessive love for alcohol. If the wife can stop all such phenomena, then the family can really be called ideal.

Job.

For his colleagues and management, Nikolai will be a responsible and competent person to work with. In a leadership position, he will prove to be a very tough and demanding leader, he will enjoy his authority and power, and this can have the most negative effect on character.

He himself is not a loafer and will never tolerate negligent attitude to work on the part of his subordinates.
A beautiful and sonorous name is only the first step towards a happy and dignified life. Proper upbringing and attention from parents will really help the boy become a worthy and real man.

When, according to the church calendar, is the name day of Nicholas:

May 22, December 19 - Nicholas of Myra, archbishop, miracle worker, August 10 - Nicholas of Novgorod, holy fool for Christ's sake, March 22 - Nicholas of Sevastopol, martyr.

The little man who comes into this world receives a gift from birth - two angels. The first is an Angel that helps to do good, good deeds, to avoid evil - the Guardian Angel. The second angel is the saint whose name we bear. This Angel asks God to help us. To remember this helper, there is an old tradition to celebrate the name day, the day of the Angel. For every Christian, this is a special day, his spiritual birthday. Name day is the day of memory of the saint, thanks to whom the person got his name.

When a baby is baptized, the church gives him the name of a saint. Thus, the baby receives a direction for self-realization.

The kid still has a lot to achieve in life, so he always needs support. Receiving at baptism the name of a saint who became famous for his deeds, a person also receives an assistant who rejoices and mourns with him. Therefore, in addition to the physical birth, each person also has a spiritual birthday, which is called a name day.

Previously, there was a custom: at baptism, a person received a name that was chosen according to certain rules. The baby received the name of the saint whose memory was celebrated on the day the baby was born or on the day the baptism was performed. For girls, it was allowed to make a shift for several days if there were no days of remembrance of holy women on the day of their birth or baptism. Thanks to this custom, the day of physical (actual) birth and name day were combined, merged together. Hence the custom of naming those who celebrate their birthday as birthdays.

According to another rule, the baby could be named after the saint whom the parents had chosen earlier. Parents prayed to this saint even before the baby was born. In this case, the name day was celebrated on the day of the memory of this saint. If there were several such days in a year, then they chose the date that was closest to the birthday of the crumbs.

You can celebrate your birthday in different ways. A Christian must remember that on this day it is desirable to come to church, pray, confess, receive spiritual support.

To be worthy of your name, you need to read, study the data on the life of your patron saint. In addition, it is worth finding a prayer to your saint, which can be read even in difficult moments of life, and just every day, remembering your patron.

Characteristics of the name Nikolai

Little Nikolai is a cunning and charming child. It costs him nothing to circle even his parents around his finger. He can pretend to be so simple-hearted and naive that you won’t believe that he messed up. Nicholas has a rich imagination and diverse interests. He is active, loves outdoor games, walks.

Nicholas is an excellent student. He is well-read, thinks quickly, knows how to get out of an unpleasant situation. Nikolai is extremely inquisitive, he easily remembers the material. He likes to be in the public eye, he is talented, he is happy to participate in competitions, school performances and circles. As a rule, teachers are very pleased with them.

All his life, Nikolai will hide behind this mask of sincerity, friendliness and benevolence. But he is not at all simple, not open and, moreover, not naive. Behind the mask lies a cold mind, observation, selfishness. Nikolai is waiting for the right moment to turn events in his favor. He is reserved, never says what he really thinks. He cares little about how others treat him, he does not truly appreciate his friends, but he himself is not capable of betrayal.

Nicholas has a sharp mind. He will work conscientiously, but completely, “with his head” will not go to work. Nikolai is unlikely to take the initiative in any business; he prefers to stay on the sidelines, but not to lose sight of the situation. It is difficult to hurt him, to piss him off, but if this happens, the mask will fall off Nikolai for a moment. Behind her will appear his aggressiveness, strength, thirst for power, even cruelty. Nikolai will become a good lawyer, surgeon, tester. He will be a good leader, because he cannot stand injustice and will not allow it. If Nikolai gives free rein to his talents, he is able to succeed in creative professions: artist, musician, writer.

Characteristics of the birthday boy Nikolai:

From the ancient Greek language - the winner of the peoples - Nikola, Mykola. In the old days, schismatics vehemently rejected the Greek name Nikolai as "dog", because of the ending "barking". Therefore, the only correct form was considered - Nikola, Cola. Looking at the handsome, cheerful, sexy Nikolai, he just wants to sing “Kolya, Kolya, Nikolai, stay at home - don’t go for a walk!”

But Kolya - at least sing, at least scold, at least close the doors - he will still run away with a pretty girl. And if he also likes her, then in a day or two she will already become his legal wife. After all, Kolya is terribly amorous, and also very jealous. However, he can still be forgiven a lot. It literally works day and night. During the day in the service, he gives all the best "from and to", and in the evening he improves his house. If he is a simple employee, then with his colleagues he is a “shirt-guy”.

Well, if he is the boss, then he behaves like a "specific princeling." In this case, if one of the subordinates sees him in anger, then he runs away far away from his eyes. However, this situation usually does not last long. After all, Nikolai is essentially balanced, outgoing, friendly. At home (in the family), Nikolai is an exemplary, caring husband and father.

He simply loves his children. Allows them to do whatever they want. But Nikolai himself should limit something. In particular, excessive alcohol consumption.

Nikolai considers himself as the center of action, relatively little feeling other forces above and below him. He overestimates his importance in the world, and it seems to him that everything around him does not happen by itself, organically unfolding and guided by forces that have nothing to do with the implementation of human plans, but must certainly be done by some reasonable will.

Congratulations on the birthday of Nikolai:

Do not forget to celebrate the birthday of Nikolai and congratulate Nikolai on the day of the angel.

Kolya! Kolya! Nicholas!
Don't be sad, don't be sad
Don't get sick and don't be sad.
Take care of your life!

You're a wonderful person,
Be that way for the rest of your life!
With happiness you walk in step,
Don't forget about friends!

Remember we only have one life
It all needs ingenuity.

Remember, this is your share!

Congratulations, Nikolai, and from the bottom of my heart I wish you health, strength, energy and vigor, good luck, courage, prosperity and love. H Doubt yourself AND di confidently to victory, TO oles around the world, ABOUT take away any troubles from loved ones, L owe luck by the tail, BUT disregard important ideas and cherished dreams, Y reject your aspirations and boldly dot all the “and”!

I wish, Kolya, from the bottom of my heart,
You always be happy
Successes important and big
Achieve easily and effortlessly!

Let every minute give
You only joy and luck!

And just enjoy!

You today, Nikolai,
Accept congratulations!
Winner of the people
Walk along with the name.

I wish victory
You achieved everything
And luck fell asleep
You starry so that the rain.

Let the fanfare sound to you
Fireworks light the way
Bird of happiness above you
Don't drop your wings.

I wish you, Kolek,
To have a full wallet
So that every organ is healthy,
To never have enemies
So that things always go well
And they helped sometimes.
May what I wish come true.
Good luck Nicholas!

Be forever young, Nikolai,
And never be discouraged.
May you be lucky in everything
Let everything take off.

Let health be strong
Let sadness pass by.
I wish you well
And be merry forever.

The world has changed today
Unusual all around.
It's like you were born again
Being serious is a nuisance.

Let it be summer today
And against the backdrop of flocks of birds
There will be a lot of light everywhere
Our Kolechek, Nikolai.

Be the strongest in the world
And wiser and smarter
And be responsible for loved ones
And although ... you know better.

But let me be with you
Our heat stomps
Let everything be as it should
To be lucky everywhere.

You are always like Santa Claus
Light for loved ones exude.
You are the most important today
On this holiday, Nikolai.

Nikolai, I hasten to congratulate
And wish you good luck
Set meaningful goals
To reach them stubbornly.

Let happiness surround you
Let the feeling of the heart warm,
Never let them get caught
Your soul pain and sadness.

Congratulations Nicholas!
We wish you many years!
Go through life with humor
Be cheerful and not get sick.

All obstacles and hardships
Overcome with ease!
Peace in the soul, peace in the family
We wish you!

Congratulations Nikolay,
And we wish together:
Always know for sure
What is needed for happiness.

May distant dreams
Fall into the palms
May you be lucky
And he is capable of anything.

May always salt and bread
Will be in your house
May success find you
To fulfill your will.

Name Nicholas originated from the ancient Greek Nikolaos, whose roots "nike" - victory and "laos" - the people, determine the meaning of the name, as the winner of the peoples, conquering the people.

Reliable and good, however, somewhat harsh name. He is characterized by tenderness and kindness.

Among the numerous patron saints of this name, the miracle worker, Archbishop Nicholas of Myra .

The great Nicholas the Wonderworker was born in Asia Minor in the city of Patara. The miraculous signs of his life began to occur from the very birth, as if pointing to the great destiny of the holy infant for the Church of Christ. Being the bishop of the city of Myra in Lycia, the saint became famous as a great saint of God, a miracle worker and prayer book, full of love for people and God.

Once, having appeared at the place of execution of three townspeople, he dared to snatch the sword from the hands of the executioner and publicly expose the bribed judge. He was also able to save three commanders from death by coming in a dream to Emperor Constantine and explaining to him his mistake. In times of famine, he again appeared in a dream to the grain merchant and ordered him to send all the goods to the World. There are many legends and stories about the miracles of Nicholas, in which he saves drowning people and seafarers, returns to life schoolchildren, cut into pieces by the villain. In Russia, the cult of Nicholas is especially wide: he is the patron of carpenters, tirelessly helping the peasants, the bearer of beneficent natural forces in the form of Santa Claus.

Another patron is the holy fool, blessed Nicholas of Pskov, who lived in the 16th century. During his life, he performed many signs and wonders, but his main merit was the salvation of the city of Pskov from the irrepressible wrath of Tsar Ivan the Terrible.

Nicholas of Pskov died in 1576.

Modern Nicholas is a dark horse: his thoughts and actions are impossible to predict. He has a great self-control, which is quite simple to explain: there are very few things in life that can truly hurt his cold heart. Being a ruthless analyst, he constantly tries to pretend that he is friendly and simple. Although, like all people, Nikolai craves care and love, therefore, those who are kind to him respond with devotion and tenderness.
