About Lyudmila

Depending on this, certain conclusions can be drawn: People are kind, affectionate, completely non-conflict personalities. In childhood, they are serious, study well, try hard.

And let it be a banal gift - a woman with this name will definitely like it.

Lyudmila is a very beautiful old Russian name, meaning "dear to people." In Russia, it was forgotten and began to appear again only in the era of romanticism. The contribution to the emergence of interest in the name Lyudmila was made by two great classics of Russian literature A. Zhukovsky with his ballad "Lyudmila" and A. Pushkin with the poem "Ruslan and Lyudmila". But the name reached its greatest popularity in the Soviet period. Now, girls are not so often called by this ancient name.

Name day of Lyudmila according to the Orthodox calendar

The name day named after Lyudmila is celebrated on September 29 (16 - according to the strict style) and is associated with the name of the Czech princess-martyr Lyudmila. She was baptized into Orthodoxy by Saint Methodius, a Russian enlightener and one of the authors of the first Slavic alphabet. Having accepted the teachings of Christ, Lyudmila began to spread the Orthodox faith in the Czech Republic. She had a particularly great influence on the upbringing of her grandson Vyacheslav in the spiritual traditions of Orthodoxy. However, in 927 she was martyred by her daughter-in-law, who was an ardent pagan. Since then, the day of the angel named after Lyudmila has been celebrated in the fall, on the day of the death of the Czech martyr.

There is a popular belief that on a holiday - the day of Lyudmila, one can judge the approach of winter: if the geese are already flying away, then the cold is not far off.

Short names formed from this name: Lusya, Luda, Lyulya, Mila, Mika. There are analogues of this name in foreign languages. For example, the English Lucie - "Lucy", derived from the Latin root "lux", meaning "light".

The very pronunciation of the name "Lyudmila" initially speaks of a certain duality of character inherent in girls bearing this name. On the one hand, a rather harsh first part and, at the same time, a soft ending. So it is noted among many bearing this name that an analytical mind, good organization and a desire to maintain order in the house are combined with a storm of passions, jealousy for partners and a desire for constant change. Lyudmilas are often demanding and impulsive. They are also characterized by increased egocentricity.

In relationships with other people, Lyudmila really wants to be "nice to everyone", but this often entails that a girl with this name wants to look better in the eyes of others than she really is. Frequent obsession with one's own person gives rise to close people.

In a love relationship, Lyudmila is a real owner, very jealous of her partners. Therefore, often the bearers of this name fail in marriages. In this case, they focus all their attention on children.

Of the positive qualities of Lyudmil, one can note curiosity, a love of reading. Despite the analytical mindset, they can also take place in creative professions, for example, fashion designers, artists, actresses. They also become successful where increased accuracy and consistency are required, for example, as in the teaching profession. Great compassion and a desire to help strangers makes Ludmil good nurses and doctors. Diplomacy and perseverance, also inherent in Lyudmila, often helps her to realize herself in the role of senior staff and a middle and top manager.

Lyudmila is very kind to her home. She is a born housewife. He always knows what to cook for dinner, how to decorate the house, so that the family does not feel the need. She needs a lot of attention and communication, and therefore likes to receive guests in her house. However, she needs confidence in the inviolability of personal space. Lyudmila loves to feel like a full-fledged and only mistress in the house, which often gives rise to conflicts with her grown daughter, and especially with her daughter-in-law.
