In the calendar we find that on May 21, name days are celebrated for those who bear such masculine names as Adrian, Arseny, Cassian and Jan. Today they should be congratulated on Angel Day.

Additionally, in the church calendar for 2019 we find that the birthday people of this day are also those who were baptized by Nicholas, in honor of the holy martyr Nicholas (Rozanov), canonized only at the beginning of the 21st century.

Women's names for this period are not presented, and in order to name girls born today in accordance with all canons of naming, their name day must be postponed by eight days.

If it happens that there are no suitable female names on the specified date, then you can name the baby after the saint revered on the day of her christening.

But for the Ivans, name days on this day are especially significant, because on May 21 the Church honors the memory of their Guardian Angel - the Apostle John the Theologian. Therefore, it is recommended to name boys born today this way.

Since ancient times, it has been customary to baptize children in honor of the patron saints of their birthday, those on whom a person can rely in difficult times, whose virtues he will look up to and whose best qualities he will adopt along with his name.

It is known that the main features of Ivanov are generosity, magnanimity, cheerfulness and a tireless pursuit of new horizons.

One of the twelve first-called Apostles, Ivan the Theologian was the disciple closest to Jesus. He tirelessly followed the Son of the Lord, not leaving Him even in the most terrible moment.

When Jesus Christ was already crucified, He turned to the Most Holy Theotokos and John, so that they would become like mother and son to each other. Until the very end of the Virgin Mary’s earthly journey, John inseparably cared for Her.

Afterwards he went to Asia Minor, where he preached the Gospel to people and turned them to the one true God.

When he and his disciple were sailing to distant lands, their ship was wrecked, and everyone was saved except John. However, two weeks later, the grieving student found him on the shore alive and unharmed.

Later, the same disciple witnessed how, through the power of prayer, John could cause thunder and shake mountains, heal people and perform other miracles. He also wrote down the Revelation, dictated by John and called the Apocalypse.

It is because of this that the name for a girl born in May should be soft and feminine.
