Makar
This beautiful Slavic name has Greek roots. The word "makarios" ("happy, blessed") in ancient Greece was one of the epithets for Zeus, the main god of the ancient Greek pantheon. In Christianity, many saints bear the name Makar, so our ancestors often called the boys Makar according to the calendar. In the last century, this euphonic name was undeservedly forgotten, but in recent years it has begun to gain popularity again. Diminutive versions of this name sound especially cute: Makusya, Makarik, Makarka, Makarushka.

An ancient Slavic name that speaks for itself. The root of the name comes from the word "joyful" (or "glad"). According to one version, this name meant "joyful, happy", and according to another - "bringing joy and consolation." The name Rada also appears in Polish, Belarusian and Bulgarian. It can be an independent full name, or it can be used as an abbreviation for compound names such as Radislav, Radmir, Radana.

Zita
Contrary to popular belief, this name has little to do with India and Indian traditions. It comes from the Latin word "felisitas", which translates as "happiness." In Zita, it was adapted in Hungary, where the name is still very popular. But Europeans prefer the unchanged version of the name: Felicity or Felicita.
Felix
Male adaptation of the word "felisitas". In ancient Rome, it was the main epithet for the victorious god Mars. As a name, the Romans did not use it.

Now this name is very common in the Scandinavian countries: it is believed that it brings a child good luck and helps him grow up a strong, decisive and firm man.

However, one should not discount him: in life, Frosyam, by all accounts, should be accompanied by good luck.
Tikhon
Many people look for the roots of this name in the word "quiet". However, in fact, the name Tikhon came to us from Ancient Greece and is a Slavic interpretation of the name Tyukhe.

This name is very much loved in the Scandinavian countries: there boys are often called Tiko, Tiki, Tycho. Our name Tikhon in a diminutive version sounds like Tisha, Tishunya, Tishenka.
