Each of us is given a name at birth with which we go through life. From time immemorial people skillfully used this knowledge to facilitate life path newborn Every symbol, every detail matters when it comes to a person’s character. Names starting with the letter P will be able to tell a lot about their bearer, reveal all the secrets, revealing the most secret things.
Fateful decision of parents
The arrival of a newborn in a family is always a great happiness. Preparing for the arrival of a baby is always accompanied by pleasant chores. No less important is the choice of name for the baby. The process, at first glance, is simple, but can turn into a real headache. You can understand parents, because you really want to give your child not just beautiful, but unique and meaningful name, which has a beneficial effect on future fate.
Experts were able to prove that people with the same names can have strong similarities in behavior, character and even appearance. Unusual, at first glance, because it is generally accepted that it is the gene pool that provides height, weight, inclinations and abilities, manifested in the individual. And here, a seemingly ordinary name can connect people who can even live on different continental planes. Miracles, and that's all.
After birth, a person who is called by the chosen name, at a subconscious level, the formation of his “I” occurs, completely depending on the characteristics.
Features of letters in the name
Each letter of the alphabet has a separate meaning, and in total it identifies the personality of a representative of society and its main features. As for the letter P, its owner will be gush out all sorts of ideas. Although he himself will have very stable patterns and frameworks of behavior. Characteristic feature there will be self-development in all areas: physical, moral, spiritual. This is the first rule of harmonious existence.
From early childhood, the owner of a name starting with P has a tendency to generalize and a constant thirst for something new, still unconquered and unexplored. At the moment when a goal is found, the person strives to achieve it with all his might.
The presence of the letter P in the name ensures frequent changes for its bearer. Throughout life, he evaluates, labels, but over time he can transform and take a new look at things. Sometimes he may show insecurity, but never an aggressive attitude towards others. In most cases, carriers of the letter P strive to achieve harmony and peace, however, they themselves rarely find themselves in this state.
In order to maintain internal balance, you will have to sacrifice your interests at times, which you will never fully come to terms with. If a person gave in respectfully, it means that he decided to bide his time and did not come up with another option on how to correct the situation. The integrity of such a person is off the charts, and even if he submitted to another, he will never change his inner world and established moral principles.
A visible drawback is the tendency to accumulate energy from the past: memories, events, people. All this can accompany him throughout a long life, burdening him and often getting in his way.
List of male names
If an heir has been born in the family, it’s time to give him given name. If you are familiar with the meaning of the letters in the name, then we suggest you take a closer look at the names themselves. to P:
- Paul. Origin of the name: Russian, Orthodox, Catholic. Translated from Latin it means “small”, “baby”. The owner of such a name may show excessive shyness in childhood, however, this is more than compensated for by his responsiveness.

Sincere, endowed with well-developed intuition. Sometimes he is boastful, but it is simply impossible to remain angry with him for a long time. He is a philosopher by nature, but in business he will look for workarounds rather than go straight ahead;

When choosing a name, parents need to listen to their own feelings. You should not name your child based only on the happy symbolism of the name. Wait until the baby is born, then choosing a name will become much easier.
Historical roots
Often, by a person’s name, one can assign him to a particular nationality, country, and therefore cultural affiliation. Our ancestors had “speaking” names:
- "Keen Eye";
- "Sharp Fang";
- "Swift Deer" and the like.
Such “names” were intended to reflect the special skills and abilities of its bearer. Over time, the names acquired simpler outlines and forms. Despite this, they still have individual interpretation. For example:
- Arthur - "bear";
- Larisa - “seagull”;
- Faith, Hope, Love have left their literal meaning.
Currently, boys' names starting with the letter P, as well as girls' names, are in demand. It is also important that any person bears two names at once: full and diminutive. Obviously, a person’s reaction to them when contacted can be completely different. Addressing a person by full name, has a respectful and more strict coloration. Be that as it may, it is worth recognizing that all people are endowed with duality. So to speak, two sides of one “I”.
Bearers of non-declining names (for example, Alisa, Gleb, Denis) have a more “one-sided” worldview, tend to be constant, and are reasonable. Male names on P, whether they are Russian or foreign, they will still be the key to the secrets and mysteries of the human soul.
Influence on human destiny
There are many different kinds of teachings and theories in the world where scientists are trying to determine the influence of stars, otherworldly forces, space, and other things on our lives. What is guided by when it performs certain actions, turns in a certain direction, and does not follow a different path? The answers to these questions have a much deeper meaning than it might seem at first glance.
It is not for nothing that our ancestors paid great attention to choosing a name for a new family member. Most philosophers, scientists and representatives of other professions have tried to study the formation of personality, their actions and life values. Currently, man, despite the large amount of information, remains one of the main mysteries of the universe. Men's names starting with the letter P, Russian and foreign, native and foreign, distant and close - all of them are a reflection of the human soul.
The characteristics of a name can reveal any secrets. The surname and patronymic also play an important role in the fate of every person. Therefore, parents deciding what to name their heir should weigh everything several times.
