Illustrious Saint Igor of Chernigov

Prince Igor was born in the twelfth century. At this time, there was a grueling internecine struggle between the principalities of Mstislavovich and Olgovich.

In 1146, Igor was put in charge. He swore to be a just ruler and protector of his people. Igor ruled for only fourteen days. In the next battle, betrayed by his army, he flees. Then he is captured and put in prison.

The prince becomes seriously ill in captivity and is allowed to be sent to the Kiev Feodorovsky Monastery for treatment. After his recovery, Igor remains a monk in the monastery, where he prays and cries all the time.

A year passed, the Mstislavovichs ruled in Kyiv. The Kiev veche, against the will of the ruling prince Izyaslav Mstislavovich, decided to deal with the monk Igor.

The rebels brutally dealt with the former ruler, torturing his already dead body.

In the church, God showed a sign - all the candles were lit at the same time over the body of the murdered martyr. The prince's relics were later transferred to the Spassky Cathedral in Kyiv, and the icon in front of which he prayed is located in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

The name Igor has several variants of origin and meaning of the name. About them and much more in our article.

The most popular version of the origin of the name Igor in Russia is the Scandinavian version. According to this version, the name Igor is a two-root name and originates from the Scandinavian name Ingvarr. It consists of the roots "Ing" and "varr", where "Ing" is the Scandinavian god of abundance Ing (Frey), and "varr" translates as guarded. It turns out that verbatim the meaning of the name Igor is “protected by Ing”, but this is not entirely true. Most often it would be more correct the meaning of the name Igor is “rich” or “lucky”. It is this meaning that is most often suitable if translated not literally, but according to the context of mention.

The second version can be called the Norwegian version. Norway may be a Scandinavian country, but Norwegian culture has its own version of the meaning of the name Igor. According to this version, the name Igor means “archer” or “shooter”, and comes from the Norwegian “ee-vahr”.

Well, the latest version can be called a version of English origin. According to her, the name Igor means “steppe warrior” or “infantryman,” which is very similar in meaning to the Norwegian version of the origin. According to this version, the name comes from the merger of two roots “ing” and “warrior”.

The meaning of the name Igor for a child

Igor as a child is a cheerful and active child. This is a rather restless baby who is prone to narcissism. Depending on the influence of his environment on him, Igor’s pride can be both a driving force and a destructive component of his personality. The boy is endowed with fairly strong strong-willed qualities, but under unfavorable circumstances he may show a tendency towards despotism. At the same time, the child grows up bold and decisive. You can also notice that Igor is a kind and sympathetic child. All these characteristics make Igor an interesting and versatile person.

Igor is a mediocre student, but unfortunately this is not his fault. He is not endowed with the natural perseverance that is so necessary in a modern school. If the child is seriously involved in sports, then it may very well be that by satisfying his physical activity it will be possible to achieve calmer behavior in class. And it is worth noting that he has sufficient hard work and only the peculiarities of the nervous system become a complex, albeit solvable, obstacle on the path to knowledge.

If we talk about health, then we can say about Igor that his health is very good. He gets sick less often than his peers, although of course he doesn’t get along completely without illness. Unfortunately, good health often allows one to neglect preventive measures. If in childhood this does not lead to serious problems, then in adult Igor such behavior often backfires.

Characteristics of the name Igor

As an adult, Igor becomes more balanced and calm. His positive traits become more pronounced, which attracts many people to him. However, given the fact that Igor is more of an introvert, his communication with other people is usually superficial. This does not prevent him from having a huge number of friends, because he is still a cheerful and easy-going person. He is just as brave and kind as he was in childhood, and with age, excellent manners are added to this. Igor’s life path is quite complicated, because he often himself looks for problems that he wants to solve. Only the process of struggle makes his achievements meaningful to him. If he gets something without overcoming difficulties, then in his eyes it is not of particular value.

Igor loves and knows how to work. He has a high ability to work, and his hard work is enough for three. Igor loves to work for himself, but he won’t work for long without proper returns. This character trait often leads Igor to the path of entrepreneurial activity. He rarely achieves great success, but he usually does not strive for it.

If we talk about Igor’s family life, then his main characteristic is reliability. He may not be particularly gentle, but his wife will always have confidence in the future. Of course, he will be the leader in the family, but otherwise there simply won’t be a family. She loves her children, but devotes little time to them.

The secret of the name Igor

Igor's secret can be called his great tendency towards despotism. Often having received unlimited power, Igor abuses this power. For a long time he searches for that boundary where he should stop and listen to other people. Usually this path is littered with broken relationships with loved ones, friends and co-workers.

In the church, God showed a sign - all the candles were lit at once over the body of the murdered sufferer. The prince’s relics were later transferred to the Spassky Cathedral in Kyiv, and the icon in front of which he prayed is located in the Kiev Pechersk Lavra.

Name day is an important day in the life of any person. In the old days, it was customary to name a child in honor of the saint on whose memorial day the baby was born. It was believed that in this way the guardian angel would protect and protect a mere mortal throughout life. When Igor's name day is celebrated, what imprint is left on the character of the child who accepted the help of this saint?

Origin of the name Igor

The word has Scandinavian roots. According to one version, his predecessor was the name Invar, which is translated from ancient Greek as “idiot”, “cretin”. Meanwhile, the particle -ing denotes a certain abundance. The name came into the Russian language with the meaning “one who preserves God.” According to another version, the name has Celtic roots, since the particle -iger is very popular among these peoples.

The meaning of the name Igor

A boy who has been given the gift to “keep God” from birth has a clearly defined, strong character and self-confidence. The child is very active, gets along well with his peers, and loves fun and funny games. He is an average student at school, but he excels better than others. The boy spends little time studying, does not like to do homework, and skips classes. The namesake of the famous prince does not need a higher education; after school he would prefer to go straight to work.

Igor's name day leaves an imprint on his entire fate. A boy can achieve impressive success in sports, of course, if he puts in significant effort. A young man can also excel in music, but due to a lack of perseverance and determination, if success does not come immediately, then the lessons will cease to be interesting. He will give up everything without achieving results. Igor easily finds a common language with different people, he has many friends. However, he breaks up with a person just as easily as he gets along with him.

In the family, Igor is the owner. He prefers to always keep his wife with him, and will never tolerate betrayal. His word in the house is law. Igor’s name day also affects his personal characteristics. He loves everything bright and chic. This applies to both original gifts and luxurious women. It is important for him that everyone envy and be drawn to him. For the sake of a high quality of life and comfort, he is ready to sacrifice a lot. If he is faced with a choice that has a serious impact on his prestige, he will always choose his personal interests, without even thinking about the decision.

Igor's name day according to the church calendar

This name is considered one of the first borrowed words in the Old Russian language. It takes its roots from the times of the Rurikovichs. In those days, only noble people could celebrate Igor’s name day; it had a very limited distribution. The name became frequently used after the October Revolution, and in the 60s it was at the peak of its popularity. Igor's name day, associated with the honoring of saints according to church rules, refers to June 5 (transfer of the relics of Prince Igor) and September 19 (memory day of the blessed
