Names of Soviet origin are personal names found in the languages ​​of the peoples of the former USSR, for example in Russian, Tatar and Ukrainian, which appeared after the October Revolution of 1917 during the heyday of the fashion for neologisms and abbreviations in the Soviet Union.

The destruction of previous social foundations and traditions of naming, associated primarily with the obligation to choose a name for a newborn according to the calendar during the baptismal ceremony, gave parents greater freedom to choose names for their children. A variety of common nouns began to be used as personal names: names of plants (Birch, Carnation, Oak), minerals (Ruby, Granite), chemical elements (Radium, Tungsten, Iridium), toponyms (Volga, Himalaya, Kazbek, Onega), technical and mathematical terms (Median, Diesel, Combine, Railcar), professions (Tank Driver), and other words colored by revolutionary ideology (Idea, Decembrist, Comrade, Volya, Zarya, Atheist, Freedom). Derivative forms were also formed (Noyabrina, Tractorina). This kind of name creation is sometimes called semantic anthroponymization.

A large array of personal names-neologisms was formed from revolutionary slogans, the names of some bodies of the new government, as well as from the names and surnames of revolutionary leaders and communist figures (Vladlen, Damir, Kim, Roy, Elina).

Names of Soviet origin also include many borrowed names. It was after the October Revolution that there was a significant influx of foreign names into the Russian language. Some of them were directly associated with figures of the international communist movement (Rosa - in honor of Rosa Luxemburg, Ernst - in honor of Ernst Thälmann), some were associated with heroes "progressive" translated literary works or historical figures (Jeanne, Eric, Rudolf, Robert).

In the post-revolutionary era, non-canonical (not noted in the church calendar) Old Russian and Old Slavic names came into use, as well as names existing in other Slavic languages ​​(Svetozar, Peresvet, Mstislav, Miloslava, Lyubomir, Vanda, Vladislav).

Most names of Soviet origin - especially newly formed ones - were rarely used and did not take root, remaining rather a historical and linguistic curiosity; Many bearers of exotic names, having reached adulthood, applied for a name change. However, some of these names, composed successfully, have survived and become quite widely known.

The imagination of Soviet parents truly knew no bounds. But all new names and derived forms can be divided into several groups.

Nature and resources

A child born in the USSR could easily be christened Oak, Birch, Azalea, Alder or Carnation.

Mathematics, physics, chemistry and technology

Science, which was developing at an active pace, suggested good names to parents: Algebrina, Ampere, Hypotenuse, Netta (from “net”), Drezina, Om, Electrina, Elina (electrification + industrialization). Minerals and chemical elements were also honored: Granite, Ruby, Radium, Tungsten, Helium, Argent, Iridium.

Of course, what would the Soviet Union be without slogans, in honor of which abbreviated names were invented for children:

Revolutionary ideology and professions

The Russian language owes the revolution many new words and concepts that have become firmly entrenched in everyday life. Ideology became another source of inspiration for finding names for your children: the boy could very well get the name:

Borrowed names

It has become quite popular to name children after 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, which was attributed the meaning “for the revolution of the world”), Rosa (in honor of Rosa Luxemburg), Clara - like Zetkin. The boys were named 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.
Instead of an epilogue...

In most cases, children in the USSR received traditional names at birth: national or international, but familiar to the ear. However, during the formative years of the Soviet Union, a real boom in neologisms appeared, which also affected names. True, many of them remained only on paper, since they were an unpronounceable jumble of sounds and were only suitable for slogans and anecdotes. But some, the most euphonious, nevertheless became popular and have safely survived to this day.

The most popular Soviet names that appeared during the crazy fashion for neologisms were associated with the names of the theoreticians of communism Karl Marx, Friedrich Engels, the leader of the October Socialist Revolution Vladimir Lenin and his associates, as well as with such symbolic concepts for the young country of the Soviets as “revolution”, “red army”, “industrialization”, “communism”.

Perhaps the largest number of neologisms (both male and female) were dedicated to Lenin. Here is just a small list, among which there are many familiar names that no longer cause either surprise or rejection. To avoid discrepancies, we present them with decoding:

Arville - Army V.I. Lenin

Wil, Wil, Vilen - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin

Vilor (Vilorik) - Vladimir Ilyich Lenin Liberated the Workers (And Peasants)

Vladlen(a), Vladilen(a) - Vladimir Lenin

Idlen - Lenin's ideas

Lenar - Lenin's army. Most often, boys in Muslim families were called (and still are called) by this name.

Leniza - Lenin's Testaments

Lemira - Lenin and the world revolution

A striking example of such ideological creativity was the name Vavilen - this was the name of the main character of Victor Pelevin’s acclaimed turn-of-the-century novel “Generation “P””: “Take, for example, the very name “Babylen”, which was awarded to Tatarsky by his father, who united in his soul the faith in communism and the ideals of the sixties. It was composed of the words “Vasily Aksenov” and “Vladimir Ilyich Lenin”. Tatarsky’s father, apparently, could easily imagine a faithful Leninist, gratefully comprehending over Aksenov’s free page that Marxism originally stood for free love, or a jazz-obsessed esthete, whom a particularly drawn-out saxophone roulade would suddenly make him understand that communism would win.” .

The second most popular among Soviet neologism names were names dedicated to the theoreticians of communism Marx and Engels, political leaders of the young Soviet state and significant events in the life of the country. This is how the following names appeared:

Barricade - it’s clear here without decoding

Dazdraperma - Long live the first of May. The name that has gained the greatest fame not only as an example of ideological name-making, but also as an example of the comic results that excessive zeal can lead to.

Dotnara - Daughter of the working people. A name that has become popular in the Central Asian republics.

Some “remake” names were known earlier, but, unexpectedly becoming in tune with the realities of the Soviet era, they received a new life and wider distribution. Among them:

Gertrude- a previously known German name, which received a new decoding in the USSR: Heroine of Labor.
Damir(a)- a popular Tatar name, which in the light of the new ideology began to stand for Long live the World Revolution.

Elina- a female name, known before the revolution, in the USSR began to be deciphered as Electrification and Industrialization.

But neologisms were not the only ones used to call newborn citizens of the USSR. Traditional names were still honored - they were simply considered unfashionable in the first years of Soviet power. And what was considered fashionable is perfectly illustrated by these famous shots.

The imagination of Soviet parents truly knew no bounds. But all new names and derived forms can be divided into several groups.

Geographical names and seasons

You could also choose a name based on your month of birth: December, Dekabrina, Noyabrina, Sentyabrina, Fevralin, Aprelina. Well, those whom she called October were especially lucky.

Often parents were inspired by rivers, cities and mountains. The children were given names: Neva, Cairo, Lima, Paris, Himalaya, Altai, Angara, Ural and even Avksoma - Moscow in reverse.

In the film “Heart of a Dog,” the girls’ names were chosen at a general meeting. (pinterest.ru)

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

Borrowed names

It has become quite popular to name children after 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, which was attributed the meaning “for the revolution of the world”), Rosa (in honor of Rosa Luxemburg), Clara - like Zetkin. The boys were named 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.
