Catholic
Christian Name
A First name is often referred to as
Christian names. Catholic
Christian names share similar first, or
Christian name's, with other
Christian and non - Catholic Christian countries. These 'shared'
Christian names differ from country to country according to the
language and the spellings and pronunciations of them therefore also vary. The Catholic church encouraged the use of biblical
naming from the New Testament and those of Saint's. Old Testament
ones were not commonly used by Christians until
the 18th century. The
language of origin of the
'Christian name' was therefore Latin,
Hebrew or Greek.Much of Europe adhered to the Catholic
religion up to the Renaissance period of the 16th Century. Catholic
name's were
therefore commonly used in Portugal, Britain, France, Spain and Italy.
The
Importance of First Names!
We
respond to our name throughout our lives. People associate us
with our first name, it forms part of our identity. They help to
distinguish us from one to another. Other people gain
immediate and sometimes totally subconscious views of people,
just from hearing a name they can therefore give us a distinct
advantage in life, or conversely, a disadvantage! The choice of
a Catholic Baby name is, therefore, incredibly important. And
those of us who choose a baby's name are taking on a responsible
task!
