Name History
In the Christian linguist, the name Vyacheslav refers to St. Vyacheslav (Wenceslas) of Czech ( X century ), the grandson of St. Ludmila , who is considered to be the patrons of the Czech Republic with her. The name is one of the few from the vast group of Slavic dubious names that fell into the holy calendar as a result of the canonization of their carriers; a significant part of such names, being non-Christian, in Russia in the Middle Ages fell out of use under the pressure of the church. The name Vyacheslav was practically not used in Russia until the 19th century and was found only in a monastic environment .
The revival of the name was due to a massive interest in ancient Russian history, noted in Russian society from the second half of the 19th century. In the wake of this fashion, such names as Oleg , Igor , Vsevolod “connected” with Russian history as the names of ancient Russian princes “rose”. The name Vyacheslav was also included in the name of the Rurikovich dynasty - its carriers were, for example, the son of Yaroslav the Wise, Vyacheslav Yaroslavich and the son of Vladimir Monomakh, Vyacheslav Vladimirovich .
Name prevalence
At the beginning of the 20th century, the name was quite rare and became widespread after the October Revolution . So, according to the information collected by A. V. Superanskaya and A. V. Suslova on the names of newborns in Leningrad for several decades, the frequency of the name Vyacheslav in the 1920s and 1930s was 2 ‰ (that is, 2 carriers of the name in 1000 accounted for). Further, the popularity of the name was observed: among those born in the 1940s – 1950s, the frequency of the name reached 12 ‰, in the 1960s – 1970s –13 ‰, and in the 1980s –17 ‰ [5] .
Statistical data on the names of newborns in 1961 , collected by V. A. Nikonov in several regions of central Russia, show that the name in the early 1960s as a whole was equally in demand both in cities and in the countryside. In cities, its frequency ranged from 17 ‰ (in Kaluga ) and 19 ‰ (in Vladimir , Kursk and Tambov ) to 28 ‰ (in Penza ) and 34 ‰ (in Ulyanovsk ). In rural areas, maximum frequency indicators were observed in Vladimir , Kaluga (23 ‰ each), Yaroslavl and Ulyanovsk (21 по each) regions. Minimum values in the village were recorded in the Kuibyshev (Samara) region (14 ‰) and Kursk region (5 ‰) [6] .
Among related male names with the component [glory], the name Vyacheslav over the 20th century showed the highest frequency, significantly ahead of the other two popular names from this group - Vladislav and Stanislav . However, in general, the use of the name was never widespread; Superanskaya and Suslova assigned the name to the category of limited distribution names. [5] [6] .
