George is a very common name in Christian countries, no matter what denomination of this creed their people profess. It spread throughout Europe, and then throughout America, in different variations precisely thanks to Christianity.
Linguists determine the meaning of the name George from the fact that it is of ancient Greek origin, like many other European names. From the language of the ancient Hellenes, “georgos” is translated as “plowman” or “farmer.” Derivations from the name Georgiy in Western European countries sound like George, George or George; in Spanish-speaking countries it turned into Jorge, and in Western Slavic countries into Jiri or Jerzy.
The popular Georgian name Givi also comes from this word, as does the Armenian name Gevorg (sometimes Gevorg). "Folk etymology" sometimes says that George is a Georgian name, but this is a mistake. It’s just that since the adoption of Christianity by Georgia, Saint George has been considered the patron saint of this state.
The abbreviated full name Georgy in Russian sounds like Zhora or Gorya, Goga or Gera, Gesha or. Diminutive versions of this name are Zhorik, Gerya or Gulya.
The name Georgiy has been transformed many times in the Russian language; perhaps no other has so many different variants - simply because immediately after its “legalization” in Rus' it was too difficult for Slavic pronunciation. Therefore, such variants as Yuri and have arisen, but now these are not the same thing as Georgy, but independent names.
It is believed that it is better to call George a boy who was born from June 22 to July 22 (sign) or from September 24 to October 23 (sign). Cancer can balance out Georg’s rather risky nature, making him more economical and diplomatic. The sign of Libra, as well as the desire for knowledge, will add diplomacy and the ability to understand people.
To better understand what distinctive features Georgy, Yuri and Egor carry, let’s look:
- What is good about their character and what troubles can they cause to others?
- What do love, family and career mean to George?
- What is the fate of the boy and the man with this name?
Competitive spirit
The meaning of the name Georgy or Yura for a child is such that he behaves differently with older relatives at home and with peers in the yard or in kindergarten. At home, Gosha or Yura can be quiet and obedient, not causing much trouble for parents, but with peers they can show a cocky character.
The name Georgiy also leaves its mark on how its owner studies at school. The academic performance demonstrated by Yuri or Gorya can be quite high, but not due to a special thirst for knowledge. One of the main aspirations of this child is to be the center of positive and friendly attention, and this cannot be achieved with bad grades.
In addition, Zhora’s character carries a fair amount of vanity and arrogance, and they simply do not allow him to look worse than his classmates. He skillfully disguises these not very pleasant traits themselves, and those around him consider him a nice guy who, moreover, knows how to keep other people’s secrets.
One of the manifestations of Gosha's vanity, which manifests itself as he grows up, is his love of competition, especially sports. Parents need to pay attention to this trait of their son - playing sports can smooth out some difficult moments in communicating with the teenage George, which is also important. Boxing or various types of martial arts are especially good for a guy - he will feel less comfortable in team games.
Here not only the character of young Georg is revealed, but also his mentality - concrete, prone to technology. No wonder he loves to make things with his own hands.
The meaning of the name plays an important role in how the adult George behaves. As in childhood, he is secretive and cold with strangers, but with close and trusted friends his character becomes very lively and open. He can become the soul of a company, but only of his own company; he can open up only to those people whom he completely trusts, and as a rule, there are very few of them.
Seriousness and humor
What does the name Georgy mean when choosing a person’s life path and professional self-determination? A constant desire for new knowledge and a specific mindset will make the owner of this name a good researcher in the field of natural sciences. But the creative direction is also not closed to George.
Whatever professional field he chooses for himself, he has a very good chance of achieving significant success thanks to determination, hard work, perseverance and intelligence, as well as a certain amount of irony. Financially, he reaches a completely stable position, although “plowing” just for the sake of earning money is not his case, the work should be of interest to him in the first place.
Georgy’s sense of humor often helps him out in false life situations, and he knows how not to be offended when people make fun of him; he prefers not to remember insults. But he doesn’t forgive anyone for lying, even if it’s a “white lie” - this man’s friends and relatives should remember this. At the same time, as in childhood, as an adult he is just as good at keeping other people's secrets.
Trust and honesty in relationships with his beloved are of great importance to George, so he chooses his future wife with special care. It is this “preparatory work” that largely leads to the fact that the family life of the owner of this name usually develops very successfully.
He does not like it if his wife is constantly tied to the household. Georgy loves children, but constantly raising them is tiring for him. A man compensates for this trait with a tender and attentive attitude towards his wife. Author: Olga Inozemtseva

ORIGIN OF NAMES AND SURNAMES, 2000, No. 3
I would like to know the meaning of my last name. At first glance, everything is simple: Kursk - Kursk or from the Kura River.
But let's look at the dictionary:
Ku (ku) - land, country, region;
Ru (ru) - go, move.
There are many other meanings. All together can be understood as “a field through which it takes a long time to move,” in other words, the steppe.
Just don’t think that I want to “exalt myself” through kinship with the illustrious Kuru family. But, really, it’s very, very interesting!
And what does the suffix -sk mean in Russian?
And another question: why are the names Yuri and Georgy the same thing? The same word has such meanings in the Greek dictionary (I don’t know the Greek). And so, to the ear, there seems to be nothing in common between these names.
Yu. Kursky (Voronezh).
GEORGE, YURI AND EGOR
Your surname comes from the name of the city of Kursk, and excursions into Indian antiquities are not needed to explain it.
The name of the city Kursk is derived from the name of the Kur River. The suffix -sk is used to form adjectives from geographical and ethnic names: England - English, Tatars - Tatar, as well as to form city names from the names of rivers, mountains and other physical-geographical objects: Ural - Uralsk, Tom - Tomsk.
The names Yuri and Georgiy were formed in Russian from the same Greek name Georgios. Among the Greeks, this name was an epithet of Zeus and meant farmer. According to legend, Zeus patronized agriculture and farmers. In Russian, this name, as a borrowed name, appeared in the 10th century. But according to the laws of the Old Russian language at that time, it was impossible to pronounce a soft g before an e at the beginning of a word. The name turned into Eorii and then into Yuri. The re-borrowing of this name occurred in the 17th century when church books were corrected. It was again written down in the form Georgiy, but again the phonetic laws of the Russian language, which had changed somewhat by that time, did not allow such a pronunciation in the Russian language. The name changed to Yegorgy, Yegoriy, Egor.
Only in the 19th century, with the development of literacy, did some begin to pronounce this name as George (it was in this form that it was written in church calendars). But at the end of the 19th century, a special genre of friendly calendars appeared, where there was such a certificate: “George - in Russian pronunciation Egor.” So three different names developed from virtually the same source.
It is interesting that in modern Greek the form Georgi(os) has not been preserved, but is pronounced Yori. The unity of all these forms is supported by church calendars, where these forms are assigned to the same characters and calendar dates.
Please tell us about the origin of the surnames Inshakov, Fursa, Litvinov.
A. Shilov (Elets, Lipetsk region).
The surname Inshakov comes from the word inshak, which could be a substitute for a name if for some reason they did not want to use it. The word inshak is formed from the word inshiy - different, different, not this. Just as the eldest child was called Bolshak (from big), the next one could be called Inshak - that is, not this one, but the next one.
The surname Fursa comes from the ancient church name Fure (modern Firs). The Fouret form was difficult to pronounce: only one vowel sound ending in a group of consonants. In colloquial speech, the name received the final -a (something similar is observed even now in common parlance: negro, tiger - nominative case, masculine gender). Thus, the Fursa surname is a male personal name not formalized with special suffixes. Compare surnames with suffixes: Fursov, Fursin (the last surname is very rare).
The surname Litvinov comes from the word litvin. That's what Belarusians were called in the old days. The cultural center of the Belarusians was the city of Vilna (modern Vilnius). Ethnic boundaries in the past were different and largely depended on the confession (Orthodox or Catholic).

Our family has been a subscriber to Science and Life magazine for over 25 years. Depending on the conditions and our capabilities, I try to subscribe regularly. I especially like the section “Correspondence with Readers” about the origin of surnames as interpreted by Doctor of Philology A. Superanskaya. Please write what my last name means and where it is common.
I rarely see my last name. I know that my ancestors are from the Poltava region.
S. Poluektov (Gusev, Kaliningrad region).
LONG AWAITED, DESIRED...
Your surname comes from the Russian Orthodox name Polievkt, derived from the Greek word polyeuktos - long-awaited, desired. This name turned out to be difficult for Russian pronunciation, and most importantly, incomprehensible. We now know what poly is from scientific words like polygamy, polyvalent, but our ancestors did not know. But the word semi was well known to them. So Polyevkt turned into Poluevkt. But the final combination -evkt was impossible for a Russian person to pronounce. It has been simplified. In addition, after vowels it was more convenient to pronounce not e, but e. So it turned out Poluekt. This is not the only Russian derivative of Polievct. Others: Polyect, Poluekt, Poluektor, Poilect, Polyevt, Polyert. This is how the Russian language rebuilt the alien-sounding name.
I was very interested in the section on the origin of surnames. Could you please explain the origin of my last name? My parents are from Ukraine, and in Ukrainian their last name sounds like Vidmish.
I. Vydmysh (Kaliningrad).
WITCH - BEAR
Your surname is indeed very rare. It is possible that for this reason it suffered some deformations. In addition to what is replaced by s in it, some other changes to the original form are possible. If -ysh is a diminutive suffix (like small-ysh), then what is vydm-? Ukrainian and Russian languages have several similar basics.
In Ukrainian - the adjective vidminniy - excellent, excellent and the verb vidminyati / vidminity - to replace. On their basis, the nickname Bidmish could be formed with the meaning good, excellent (child).
In Russian, the word led (written with yat) means known or subordinate, subordinate. On their basis, nicknames like Vedmysh could also be formed. The letter yat in some dialects turned into i.
Finally, in the Ukrainian and Southern Russian languages the bear is called vedmed (also written with yat). There was an ancient Russian name Bear (and therefore Vedmed). The small child was called not such a formidable name, but a diminutive one - Medvedik or Medvedysh (respectively Vedmedysh). Perhaps, as a result of rethinking and simplifications, the form Vedmedysh became Vidmedysh and then Vidmish/Vydmysh.
ORIGIN OF NAMES AND SURNAMES
LOOK - LOOK - LOOK
In the magazine "Science and Life" No. 9 for 1993, I accidentally came across the publication "From First Name to Last Name", where Doctor of Philology A. Superanskaya, referring to the historian A. Ya. Sadovsky, gives a number of names of landowners of the Nizhny Novgorod district (1613- 1622), in particular - Glyadkov T.N. Since this surname is relatively rare (and I also am its owner), I was interested in such an ancient history. From distant (and, unfortunately, deceased) relatives, I had fragmentary information about the history of the family name, but this is not the beginning of the 17th century, but the very end of the 18th century. Therefore, I ask you to tell me where I can familiarize myself with the list of A. Ya. Sadovsky, as well as other materials on the issue that interests me, if, of course, you have this information or know where (library, archive, etc.) to find it.
E. Glyadkova (Noginsk, Moscow region).
Your surname comes from an Old Russian name Look, and the name, in turn, comes from the common noun “look” - gaze, look, supervision. Affectionate form of this name Glyadok or Glyadko . Both of them give the surname Glyadkov. In the “Onomasticon” of S. B. Veselovsky (M., 1974) the following are listed: Afanasy, Elizariy and Mizin Glyadkovs, Arzamasians, 1565, in the service in Kazan, as well as the Glyadkovs - landowners, 1608, Nizhny Novgorod. A. Ya. Sadovsky recorded Glyadkov Tagan Nikitich, a Kazan resident. Sadovsky's work is called "On materials on the study of the Nizhny Novgorod district in the Time of Troubles and shortly after it (1613-1622)" (M., 1902). I read this work in the Russian State Library (formerly Lenin Library). The copy they have is woven into the work of N. D. Chechulin “On the Question of the Spread of Foreign Influences in the Moscow State” (M., 1902), and you need to look for it in Chechulin.
KOKOTOK - FINGER JOINT
I would like to know about the origin of our unusual surname - Beskokotov (there was a variant of Bezko(a)kotov). My father is from the Saratov region, where, perhaps, there is still the same surname. But I have never met anyone with the same last name.
Yu. Beskokotov (Nerekhta, Kostroma region).
You truly have a rare surname. In some Russian folk dialects cocotte (plural cocottes ) - finger joints. In other dialects: cocotte - blow, knock, cuff; cocotal - about chickens and roosters making sounds like “ko-ko-ko”, and figuratively about people laughing, cocotte - the cry of chickens and roosters, cook - onomatopoeic, cf. verb to shake, to shake . Based on the meanings of these words with the root cook , meaning of the word cocotless (in the old days it was written with a “z”), from which the surname Beskokotov is derived, may be: “not having any fingers or their parts,” “entering a house without knocking,” “not laughing.” Further than this, linguistic analysis is impossible. You need to know the specific situation in which the nickname was given and the specific person who received it.
VOLGA NAMES
I am a regular subscriber to your magazine. We enjoy reading the magazine with the whole family. I decided to restore my family tree and was faced with the fact that I don’t know the origin of my last name. My surname is very rare; I have never met anyone with the same surname. My father and I were born in the Penza region. I don't know the further roots. Please answer what is known about the origin of this surname.
N. Tumkina (Glazov, Udmurtia).
Surname Tumkins , in all likelihood, of Volga origin. For centuries, numerous peoples of Turkic (Chuvash, Tatars) and Finno-Ugric (Mari, Mordovians) origin lived in the Volga region. The Volga united them as a nurse, providing work, food, and the opportunity to move easily. Hence the numerous borrowings of names from each other.
In the Mordovian language the word tuma means oak, in Tatar - offspring, in Kazakh - descendant. In the Mari language, a descendant is volumes . We find all these components in the Volga region names: Toma, Tuma, Tomas, Tumay, Tomai, Tumaka, Tomaka etc. Russification brought the suffix - ka : Tumka, Tumashka (from Tumash). Hence the surname Tumkin. By the way, in Moscow, according to the telephone directory, you have namesakes.

Many, many years later I came across your magazine - the magazine of my childhood. As a child, I read it through and through. Naturally, I didn’t understand half of it at the time, which did not at all detract from his merits in my eyes. And now, 15-17 years later, he’s a little “thinner,” but still just as multifaceted and terribly interesting. Thanks to everyone who created it!
And I am writing, naturally, with a request. All my life I have been correcting people who diligently change the letter “u” to the letter “o” in my last name. I re-read all the dictionaries, they are really full of, as they say, Sysoyevs, but not a word about us, the Sysoyevs. And although there are few of us who are so “wrong,” we still exist!
So why are my grandfather, my father, and I the Sysuevs? Originally from the village of Kalinino (now, according to fashion, renamed Stolypino) in the Baltaysky district of the Saratov region.
O. Sysueva (Krasnoyarsk).
SISOY - SYSOY - SYSUY
Name Sysoy no luck in Russian. Its church form, Sisoi, was not recognized by the people. The name has undergone various changes: Susoy, Sysoy and perhaps also Sysui. Its shortened forms are Sus, Sys, Sus, Syso, Suso etc. So your surname may well be formed from one of the variants of this name. But another explanation is also possible: in some Russian folk dialects there is a verb piss off - be angry. They say: "Don't piss" , that is, don’t get angry. Perhaps the derivative forms of this verb had some influence on the change in the name Sysoy in the Russian language.
By the way, your surname, although rare, is not exceptional. Several families with the surname live in Moscow Sysuevs .
A student of the Timiryazev Academy is writing to you. Please explain the origin of my last name.
Sincerely, M. Shkatov (Moscow).
SHKATOV - A MARINE SURNAME
It is difficult to answer your question unambiguously. There is a word in Dahl's dictionary box marked: often plural: frames - a type of watering can, from which the ship is washed from the outside, from the boats. But what does this have to do with a person’s last name? Such a nickname and later surname could be given to a person who served in the navy. You know better whether any of your ancestors served there. With a question mark, V.I. Dal gives the second meaning of the word box , marking it as Simbirsk, - “the entire parish with the clergy,” that is, everyone who goes to this church, including its clergy. In this case, the nickname, and later the surname Shkatov, could be received by an orphan who was in the care of all the parishioners attending this church.
For a more accurate answer, archival data is needed.
I follow with great attention the responses to letters from readers of your regular author, Doctor of Philology A.V. Superanskaya. Her conclusions are sometimes unexpected, but always interesting and deeply professional.
I would very much like to know the origin and meaning of the surname Byakont, which was found in the Moscow region in the 17th century.
Candidate of Technical Sciences G. Fomin (Shcherbinka, Moscow region).
BYAKA ZAKALYAKA
The name Byakont has been known in Moscow since the 13th century. Fyodor Byakont arrived in Moscow from Chernigov and became the founder of several noble families, including the Pleshcheev family. The founder of the Pleshcheyev family was Fedor’s son, Alexander Fedorovich Pleshchey Byakontov. Name Pleshchey comes from the word shoulder (shoulder/shoulder) and means: broad-shouldered. Byakont was also the father of Metropolitan Alexy of Moscow.
The name Byakont itself is difficult to define unambiguously. Perhaps it is derived from the Russian word bakalo - mumble or from a verb babble - fall noisily or do something badly, carelessly. The end is alarming -ont , atypical for the Russian language, but found in borrowed names: Xenophon, Niphon, Mammoth. Several villages in the Moscow province were named after Byakont and his descendants: Byakontovo.
That's all that can be reported about the name Byakont today. Perhaps the publication of new dictionaries will make it possible to get to the original words from which this name is derived.
George is one of the few names that has numerous abbreviated versions. Let’s remember the film “Moscow Doesn’t Believe in Tears”: Georgy – “aka Goga, aka Gosha, aka Yuri, aka Gora, aka Zhora.” And also Egor, Hera, Gesha... Why did this happen? And how did this name appear in Rus'?
History of the name
The name George, like many other modern names, appeared in Rus' after the adoption of Christianity. Various Greek, Latin and Hebrew names found their places in church calendars, according to which newborns were named.
George (Georgios) is a Greek name and is translated into Russian as “farmer.” In ancient times, the Greeks called this the god Zeus, who was considered the patron of agricultural work.
In Rus' this name began to spread widely since the 10th century. At first, only those who were related to princely families were called Georgies. Then this name became familiar among church ministers, and later gained popularity among ordinary peasants.
Abbreviations
Pre-Christian names in Rus' were simple and understandable to any average person. Even their meanings lay, as they say, on the surface. For example, most often ancient Slavic names reflected the surrounding reality, nature, animals (Wolf, Wheatgrass, Frost), the order in which a particular baby was born (Pyatak, Shestak, Nine), the appearance or character of the child (Nesmeyana, Zabava, Belyak) , the attitude of his parents (Bogdan, Zhdan, Lyubava) towards him and much more. All these names do not require translation or explanation even today.
Therefore, it is not surprising that at first foreign names were difficult for the Russian language. In order to make their pronunciation easier, and sometimes simply because they did not hear an incomprehensible word, people distorted and shortened the names. The name George probably also seemed very complex to the ancient inhabitants of Rus'. Therefore, some metamorphoses also occurred to him. Whatever abbreviated versions are found in the chronicles: Gyurg, Gyurgi, Gyuryata, Gergiy, Gyuri, Gorgi, Gyurgiy, Dyurga, Dyurgiy, Dyurdi, Dyurdiy, hence Yuriy, Yuryi, Yurgi, Yurko, Yurka.
Popularity
The abbreviation of names is also closely related to their prevalence in Rus'. In order to distinguish their child from among his namesakes, people came up with all sorts of abbreviations. So the name George gradually gained similar popularity.
Over time, shortened forms of names became completely separate names. This happened with the name Yuri, which is derived from George. Moreover, the name Yuri acquired complete independence only after the 30s of the twentieth century.
Today, another abbreviation of the name Georgy - Egor (originally, Yegor) is also separated from its original source.
The origin of the name Yuri may be of interest due to its rich history. It contains many extraordinary and even tragic events. In Russia this name enjoys special love and popularity. We will talk about its origin and meaning in our article.
Language source
The origin of the name Yuri can make its owner proud. It is one of the options which, in turn, was taken by the Slavs from “Georgos”, translated from Hellenic as “farmer”. There are three similar names in everyday life: George, Yuri and Egor. This is a rare case. It indicates that the name was loved by all segments of the population.
Patron Saints
Yuri is very interesting. The name was included in the calendar after the canonization of George, a warrior who suffered martyrdom at the hands of the pagans in 303. In Rus' he was nicknamed the Victorious. According to legend, he managed to defeat a dragon (a terrible serpent). This feat is depicted on many icons. Since the 14th century, the image of the hero has appeared on the emblem of Moscow. In total, the church celebrates the name days of 16 saints George and Yuri.
Appearance in Rus'
The name Yuri, whose origin is discussed in this article, came to Rus' with the advent of Christianity. Religious tradition prescribed that children should be named in honor of the saints commemorated by the church on the day of baptism. These names were borrowed from foreign languages such as Greek or Latin. Unusual to the Russian ear, they were replaced by variants that were more familiar in sound and meaning.
This is what happened with the name George. They began to call children from the 10th-11th centuries. At first, only persons of the princely family were baptized this way. The name was especially popular in the Rurik dynasty. Later it was distributed among churchmen, and then it found its way into the everyday life of artisans and peasants.
Name forms
The origin of the name Yuri interests many. This form took root in the Russian language tradition earlier than Egor. The most famous bearers in ancient times were Yuri Dolgoruky, the Galician king Yuri the First and the Belozersk prince Yuri. The forms of the name are very diverse, which proves its extreme demand. The word formations “Gyurg”, “Gyurgi”, “Gyuryata”, “Yuryata”, “Egorey” were encountered. Interestingly, the Christian name George was also popular in Europe. The boys were called Iorge, Georges, Gerge. The Jerjis variant has taken root among Muslims.
Autumn Yuri
Our compatriots can associate the name Yuri with many interesting events. The origin of this name carries a special, even sacred meaning. "Autumn" Yuri appeared in the Russian Orthodox calendar in memory of the event that took place on December 9, 1051. Then Yaroslav the Wise and Metropolitan Hilarion consecrated the Church of the Holy Great Martyr George in Kyiv.
Autumn St. George's Day entered the history of Russia for a rather sad reason. Until the 16th century, peasants who did not have their own plots freely moved from one landowner to another. This was allowed seven days before St. George's Day and a week after it. However, Boris Godunov abolished this right. He assigned the peasants to the boyars and patrimonial lords forever. This is how the proverb appeared: “Here’s St. George’s Day for you, grandma!”
general characteristics
The name Yuri, the origin and meaning of which has been studied in detail, is a bright and extraordinary person. She harmoniously combines good nature with spiritual firmness, intelligence with straightforwardness, pride with indecisiveness. Yura's arsenal includes hard work, methodicality and thoroughness. These qualities will allow him to achieve success in life. Deep down, he hopes for universal recognition, but is too timid to openly seek this. A man most often hides his true feelings, and getting through to him can be difficult. He hides behind numerous masks, but knows how to make a pleasant impression on others.
Childhood
The name Yuri endows its bearer with an inquisitive mind. The origin and meaning for the boy is very favorable. He is growing independent and serious beyond his years. Loneliness, as well as the disapproval of his peers, does not bother him at all. Yura is a little stingy and does not follow the lead of public opinion.
The boy does not shine in his studies. But he is distinguished by high responsibility. Always keeps his promises and talks to adults as equals. He doesn’t like to be in the spotlight, but he always defends his point of view. Along with positive qualities, negative ones may also appear - pride, envy and intemperance. Parents should monitor their son's behavior. He will always meet you halfway if he feels that it is in his interests.
Career
The name Yuri, whose origin is no secret to anyone, influences its owner in a positive way. For example, he is ambitious but supports healthy competition. It will be interesting for him to fight a worthy opponent. Yura likes to take risks, and he is lucky. He is rightfully considered a lucky man, but he does not abuse it. The work process excites him. He is a very responsible and methodical employee. However, he loves to brag and sometimes suffers from it himself. He won't turn out to be a businessman, nor will he be a leader. But he will be an excellent performer in production. In addition, Yuri is a very creative person. It costs him nothing to succeed in art. He has good taste and an excellent sense of beauty.
Love
Lovely ladies are attracted to the bearer of the name we are describing. They are interested in the origin of the name Yuri, what qualities it gives to its bearer. After all, one of its owners - Yuri Gagarin - became a real legend of his time. Since then, the name of the hero has caressed the ears of the fairer sex. Yura loves to court women out of sport, but deep down he is a monogamist. A man maintains close relationships with only one partner. He is truly devoted to her. Yura likes well-dressed people with an interesting appearance and bright charisma. He is very susceptible to external gloss, while the spiritual qualities of his partner interest him in the last place. In sex, he cares first of all about himself. However, he is saved by his courtesy and gallantry.
Family life
The name Yuri makes its owner quarrelsome. His origin does not save him. He may be a “farmer” - the breadwinner, the support of the family, but he does not know how to find a common language with his partner. At the same time, family is very important to him, so he is sincerely experiencing another breakup. Our hero needs a calm, patient and loving woman who will smooth out the rough edges in any situation. As a reward, she will receive a reverent father and a devoted husband who will not find fault with little things and demand pickles on the table. However, Yuri has a serious drawback - he is very jealous. He himself will never cheat and will not allow his wife. It will not happen without shouting and showdowns, even if the other half did not give any reason for this. Yuri's vulnerable pride will often provoke him, and his wife will have to come to terms with this.
Conclusion
The name Yura is still very popular among the population. The origin and meaning of this name evokes pleasant associations among people. Boys are called Yuri four to five times more often than Georgiy. Egor has practically fallen out of use altogether. However, the tendency to name their offspring with ancient beautiful names is only increasing. Therefore, “Egor” may well overtake “Yuri” over time. Sweet-sounding and courageous names are firmly rooted in the Russian language. The people named by them accomplished many glorious and useful deeds.
The meaning of the name Georgy (Egor) - its origin, character, destiny. We will tell you what the name Georgy (Egor) means, how it affects the character and destiny of a person.
Meaning of the name Georgy (Egor) option 1
Meaning and Origin:
Farmer (Greek). In Russian, this Greek name is more often used in its other form - Yuri. Another variant of the name is Egor.
Energy and Karma:
The name George conceals a tendency towards ambition, perhaps even towards some arrogance, but it also seems to hint to its owner about the fraughtness of such an elevation above people. Listen to the sound of this word, it begins on the rise, then its tension increases and at the end - uncertainty. Maybe that’s why Georgy often prefers to be called simply Zhora, while the diminutive version could sound differently - Hera. No, the name Zhora more smoothes out or masks dangerous ambition.
Secrets of communication:
If you want your conversation with Zhora to take a more confidential direction, you can risk opening your soul to him, telling him a little about your dreams, and dreaming up a little. Most likely, he will be able to respond with sincerity to fragility. The easiest way to mortally insult George and make him your enemy is to doubt his merits; on the contrary, George loves well-deserved compliments and praise, which is often taken advantage of by those around him.

The meaning of the name Georgy (Egor) option 2
Meaning and origin: warlike, protected by the Thunder God (Scandinavian). Energy and Karma:
Even being widespread, the name Igor still continues to remain very noticeable and expressive and largely determines the character of its owner.

Secrets of communication:
It should be noted that if Igor prefers to call himself Gosha, then balance and calmness are more noticeable in his character. In the case of joint affairs with Igor, the work will be more effective if you clearly distribute tasks among each other and give each other greater freedom of action
