Name days in June: female and male names according to the church calendar

A child named according to the Orthodox calendar receives the support and protection of a certain saint. To choose a name for a baby born in June, you need to focus on the male or female options that fall on the date of his birth, baptism, or the interval between birth and christening.

Popular names for boys: Maxim, Nikita, Ivan, Dmitry, Alexander, Vladimir. Rare: Lukyan, Feofan, Kasyan, Thaddeus, Hilarion, Lazar. For girls born in June, the following common options are suitable: Maria, Anna, Elena, Yulia. Rare: Susanna, Euphrosyne, Theodora, Martha, Kaleria, Faina, Melania.

How to name a child according to the calendar?

Names for a boy or girl can be chosen according to the church calendar, focusing on the following dates:

• Month and date of birth of the baby.
• Date of child's baptism.

In ancient times, the naming of a baby took place on the 8th day from his birth, therefore it is considered correct to name the child after the saint who is revered by the church on this date.

You need to inquire about the meaning and origin of the chosen word. It should sound harmoniously and be combined with the middle name of the newborn. If relatives do not like the proposed options, you can choose from the nearest dates. The naming of a child at baptism occurs only once in a lifetime, but there are exceptions - a change of religion and tonsure as a monk.

If the saint after whom the newborn is named is mentioned several times in the calendar, the day of the angel (name day) is considered to be the day of remembrance of the saint, who is revered by the church on the nearest date after the birth of the child.

Saints for June

Remember that according to the Saints, you can choose a name based on several dates:

• Child Birth
• Days between Birthday and Christening (traditionally on the 40th day after birth)
• Angel Day (Child Baptism) and its two surrounding days.

Do not rush to name the child in the first hours of life; our ancestors traditionally named the child on the 6th - 8th day, when the mother moved away from childbirth and could visit the temple with her husband to choose a name that will accompany him throughout his life.

Saints

Please note that both the greats of this world and ordinary workers can bear this or that name in life. But the energy and spiritual component of the name are very great, especially if parents carefully and mutually choose a name for their child. Do not forget that the saint whose name you name your child will patronize him throughout his life, and it is not surprising that over time you will notice part of his spiritual component in the child. Carefully read not only the euphony of the name, but also about the saint described in the Saints in order to consciously choose a name.
