Male and female gypsy names

Gypsies are a proud and independent nation, but a believer, with bright traditions. Even the names reflect the identity and piety of these people. Its origin is due to India. In ancient times, the Gypsy names for children were given the same as those of the cousins. Surnames began to ennoble, attach importance (Pearl, Zolotarev and so on). Then this tradition passed to the names. But they always had some sense. Not an official name and surname, and the nickname of the Gypsies still stands first.

Features of the Gypsy Names

Currently, this people uses three types of names:

• Gypsy samples are officially the official name, which appears in the documents. It is chosen according to the sound. Nowadays, they rarely meet, because they are more like nicknames than beautiful Gypsy names: Duda, Geda, Nana, Buza, Lacho, Matya, Gozho, Gili, Sonakai, Bar.

• Borrowed samples - names that are used in life, in communication. They are called at baptism. This group of names reflects the value of some positive quality (luck, wealth, happiness, fun, beauty). These include: Bakhtalo (happy, lucky), Kuch (precious), Rupa, Rup (ruble). And the gypsy names (female) bear the names of flowers: Rosa, Margot, Viola, Rubin, Jacqueline, Gyuli. Often a secular option for naming a child is an abbreviated official name (Alexander - Sasha). And it does not change even with age and status.

• Simple borrowed names - a nickname given to a gypsy characterizing an act or event. Among these people, they are very common. They are borrowed from Europeans living in the neighborhood: Romanians, Greeks, Italians, Russians.

It happens that a nickname is added to the names. As a rule, the gypsies have a secular option. Any adult man or woman has the right to change his name and surname.

Origin

There are gypsy names for men and women of Hungarian, Polish, Romanian origin (Anelka, Volyan, Bina, Gafitsa, Diamant, Dan, Zhuzh, Loludi, Zemfira, Margaiks, Mats, Milev, Ruzha, Papush, Jana, Zurka, Badia, Latsy, Istvan , Janos). Apparently, this people really have a craving for everything beautiful. Gypsies use words added to the official name or nickname. Nike - so the woman refers to a man older in age, or the same age. This she emphasizes respect for the interlocutor. Doike - so a gypsy turns to a woman older than herself. Age has always been a reason for this people to show respect. Mike - so gently appeal to the younger.

Children are given names that are associated with a happy destiny. Representatives of this people give the newborn, as a rule, Muslim and Christian variants of naming. But there are also Roma names whose origin is unknown (Manche, Kukuna, Hohan, Dyultyaj, Lanchay, Monti, Ivory, Loludi).
