In the past, names played an important role, reflecting culture, traditions and even social status.

Therefore, it is worth remembering a few names of men who used to be popular, but now many do not even know about their existence.

Boleslav

Boleslav is an ancient Slavic name that symbolizes strength and power. It was popular among the Slavic peoples, but over time it began to be lost, leaving only traces in history.

Nowadays, such a name may seem unusual, and many cannot correctly understand its meaning.

Edgar

Edgar is an ancient Anglo-Saxon name meaning "rich guardian". It was popular in the Middle Ages but has become rare in the modern world.

However, now you can find examples where parents give this name to their child.

Gordey

Gordey is an old Russian name meaning "proud". It was quite common in ancient times, but over time it began to be lost.

In modern realities, parents are starting to use this name, but it is unlikely that it will ever become widespread.

Bronislav

Bronislav is an ancient Slavic name symbolizing protection and strength. It was popular in ancient times, but gradually fell out of use.

This name also has a contradictory meaning. It was believed that Bronislav would have a hard life with many trials.

Feodosiy

Theodosius is an ancient Greek name meaning "blessed by God". It was common in Ancient Greece, but was lost over time. In the CIS countries, this name was also often used and had the same meaning.
