Name origin

The name Roman is of Latin origin, it comes from the word romanus, which translates as "Roman" or "Roman". Translated from Greek, Roman means "strong, strong."

The name of the flower "chamomile" is also associated with the name Roman: they have a common origin, because chamomile is derived from the word "Roman".

In other languages, there are also names similar to this name: Italian Romano, Spanish Roman, French Romen. It is also curious that the male name Roman has a female paired version of the name - Roman.

In Rus', the name became widespread after the adoption of Christianity, coming to us from Byzantium. This name was received at baptism by the holy prince Boris, who, together with his brother Gleb, became the first Russian saint to be canonized by the Russian Church.

Roman patron saints in Orthodoxy

Each Orthodox person at baptism receives a name that is borne by one or more of his heavenly patrons.

The patron saints of the Romanovs are:

• Venerable Martyr Roman of Karpenissia;
• Hieromartyrs Roman Lakedemovets, Roman Pariyskiy, Roman Kysariyskiy;
• Martyrs Roman of Rome, Roman of Samosata, Roman, Prince Roman of Ryazan, Roman of Nicomedia;
• Roman Uglichsky, noble prince;
• Rev. Roman Tyrnovsky, Roman Kirzhachsky, Roman Sladkopevets, Roman the Syrian; Passion-bearer Roman (in the world - Prince Boris);
• Righteous Roman;
• New Martyrs Roman Marchenko, Roman Medved.

Good to know: if a person was baptized before 2000 (before the glorification of the new martyrs), then the new martyr bearing the name of this person is not considered his heavenly patron. The New Martyr can be considered the patron saint of a person baptized after 2000.

Information about some saints who bore the name Roman

The most famous and revered saints in Russia bearing this name are Roman of Kisariysky, Roman the Melodist and the hermit Roman the Syrian.

Romanus of Cysaria served as a deacon in the church of Caesarea Palistina. He lived in Antioch during the Christian persecution, where he was captured and hanged for his beliefs. According to tradition, the martyr Roman of Antioch is prayed for infertility and the inability to have children.

Roman the Melodist, who lived in the second half of the 5th century, was a native of the city of Emesa (Syria). At one time he was a sexton in the city of Berita, then a clergyman in the church of Hagia Sophia in Constantinople. Through prayers to the Most Holy Theotokos, he received the gift of singing and composing church songs, which he had not previously had.

He is considered the first creator of kodak and the author of the famous kodak for the feast of the Nativity of Christ. Roman the Melodist died peacefully in 556 in the rank of deacon, having taken tonsure. Believers pray to this saint, asking for help in singing art and the development of creative abilities, as well as protection from ill-wishers and envious people.

The hermit Roman Syrian, like the previous saint, lived in the 5th century. He lived in Antioch, near the city of Ros, where he was born. He became famous as a recluse, strictly observing fasts and wearing heavy chains until his death at a very advanced age.

He had the gift of healing many diseases, and is especially revered by women who suffer from infertility, because to this day, through prayers to this saint, they get the opportunity to give birth to children.

Name day celebration

If the name day coincides with fasting, then the table should be fast, and if Angel Day falls on Great Lent, then it is transferred from weekdays to one of the weekends.

If you want to give a gift to a birthday person, then it would be appropriate to present an icon of a saint, for example, Roman - the saint he honors on this day, spiritual literature - the life of a saint or a prayer book, with a prayer to St. Roman, candles or a vessel for holy water.

Turn to your saints for help, asking them for intercession, and honor them not only on the name day.

Name day is an important holiday for every Orthodox believer. It is similar to a birthday, because it is associated with baptism - a spiritual birth into eternal life according to the teachings of the church. When a person passes, he is called by some name, necessarily in honor of one or another saint. From this moment on, the newly baptized has in the person of this saint God's heavenly patron, with whom he will be spiritually connected throughout his life. Therefore, an unbaptized person, in general, does not have the right to celebrate name days, because he bears his name without reference to the personality of the heavenly patron.

For those who are initiated into the name and the patron is chosen by the parents (if the baby is baptized), or the person himself. The day on which, according to the church calendar, the memory of the chosen saint is honored, becomes the name day. If someone was baptized in childhood, but there are no records and no memory left about which of the saints was chosen as the patron of the baptized, then the saint is determined as follows: the holy calendar is taken and it is calculated which day of memory of which of the saints of the same name is closest to his birthday. He turns out to be a patron. They act in the same way when a person chooses a name for himself at baptism, but does not know which of the saints to prefer. In all other cases, the patron can be chosen regardless of the date of birth, based only on intuition and a sense of special spiritual connection and sympathy. It could be any day on the calendar.

Characteristics of the name Roman

Roman is energetic and devotes his entire independent life to achieving his life goals. Although Roman's focus on personal growth is visible from his youth, it does not bear fruit immediately. Only in the region of 30 years, perseverance and diligence finally bear fruit. Roman, as a rational person, often chooses in life not what he likes, but what has a good prospect. Roma is a responsible worker and a good leader. Roman, if he becomes a leader, requires only feasible and important results. The invisibility of managing people can also be called a strength of Roman. Many do not even suspect that they are doing everything as he needs. The ability to bring things to the end is another plus in Roman's characteristics.

But if you think that Roman is some kind of result-oriented robot, then you are greatly mistaken. This is a person in whom passion and temperament are hidden from prying eyes. Roman shows these character traits only to the elite. He loves art, and especially theater.

The ardent temperament of Roman can still be seen by an ordinary person, but we will not envy him. Only in anger can one see the whole volcano of passions hidden in this person. Better not bring Roman to such a state.

In family life, Roman does not change much. If the beloved half of Roman in marriage understands the rules of life with him, then she will be exactly like behind a stone wall. The main thing is to understand his focus on results and the importance of success in Roman's life. Families with men named Roman either collapse almost immediately, or become strong for many years.
