Scientists could not stay aside for a long time, and now such sciences as onomastics and anthroponymy are engaged in solving this riddle - they study the origin and meaning of proper names.

These disciplines put forward hypotheses and theories that would explain the impact of a name on a person. Among them, those that are somehow connected with the construction of associative series predominate. The human brain is arranged in such a way that we try to classify any new and unfamiliar concept through images already known to us. Therefore, hearing the name stranger, we involuntarily associate it with concepts similar in sound to this name.

The name Seraphim is associated by most people with something angelic, heavenly, pure. Associations with Christianity are possible: some people, having heard the name of Seraphim, imagine a pious modest woman. Such associative series can affect not only the opinion of others about a girl, but also her character - one way or another, the pressure of society forms our personalities.

Table: compatibility with other names

Alexander	Alexander can hardly be called a suitable couple for Seraphim: this young man is too often in the clouds, which can irritate Seraphim, who regards such behavior as idleness and laziness.
Alexei	Seraphim will like the young man: he will attract her attention with a sincere attitude and an interesting life position. A strong friendship is possible, but the spark of love is unlikely to ignite between this couple.
Andrei	Andrei will conquer Seraphim with his ability to beautifully describe everyday things, subtle artistic perception and sincere affection for the girl. If Seraphim can attract Andrei's attention, then a strong marriage is possible, or at least a long romantic relationship.
Boris	Boris will surely attract the attention of Seraphim - an unusual view of the world, an extraordinary taste and sociability will quickly please the girl, but the romance is unlikely: Seraphim is unlikely to be able to interest a young man.
Vladislav	Seraphim will not like Vladislav's gloominess and severity, but friendship is possible with a closer acquaintance. Love relationship unlikely.
Dmitry	Sociability and external activity of Dmitry may at first repel Seraphim, but if the girl gets used to the fact that the young man is always surrounded by a crowd of friends, then strong relationships are possible that develop into love and tender affection.

Sergey	Sergey's windiness may repel Seraphim, but if the young man becomes interested in her, then a short romance is possible. After the breakup, the couple will most likely remain good friends.

Rev. Seraphim of Sarov (1754–1833)

One of the most famous saints not only in Russia but throughout the world was born in Kursk into a merchant family. Before becoming a monk, his name was Prokhor Moshnin, and already in childhood he was a special child. The life of the monk tells about several amazing cases. The most famous is the story of how, while still a teenager, Prokhor remained alive and unharmed after falling from a high temple bell tower. There is another widely known story. Once Prokhor fell seriously ill. Forgetting himself in a heavy sleep, he saw the Mother of God, who promised him a speedy recovery. And so it happened. During the procession, an icon was carried past his house Holy Mother of God"The Omen". The mother brought her son to the procession and attached him to the image. He soon went on the mend. Subsequently, the Theotokos continued to visit the reverend in the most difficult moments of his life.

When Prokhor was 22 years old, he went to the Kiev-Pechersk Lavra. Wanting to devote himself to God, he hoped to receive advice in the monastery on how to arrange his life further. In the Lavra, the young man met with a venerable schemamonk, who blessed him for monastic tonsure and sent him to the Sarov Hermitage (Tambov province). Thus began his spiritual path, on which Prokhor Moshnin was to become the Monk Seraphim of Sarov.

Prokhor spent eight years in the monastery as a simple novice and only then took monastic vows (receiving the name Seraphim). After that, the future saint asked for a blessing to retire to a desert cell a few kilometers from the monastery in a dense and deserted forest.

Here, imitating the ancient "athletes of the spirit" - the greatest Christian righteous of the desert - Seraphim began to lead the strictest ascetic life: in winter and summer he wore the same clothes, he himself earned his livelihood in the forest, constantly read the Holy Scriptures. The monk subsequently started an apiary not far from the cell and planted a small vegetable garden.

Once an ascetic undertook the feat of being pillars for a thousand days. In the forest, he found a granite boulder, on which he knelt every night and incessantly prayed the publican's prayer from the gospel parable: "God, be merciful to me a sinner."

During his forest hermitage, one of the most famous stories from his life took place - robbers attacked the saint. They severely beat the monk and thought to make money in his cell with "church riches." Finding nothing, they fled the scene. The Monk Seraphim, bleeding, barely made it to the Sarov Monastery and miraculously survived. When the criminals were found, the saint personally interceded for their pardon.

At the end of his life, the righteous man decided to leave the seclusion, for the sake of a multitude of people who began to come to him from all over. Russian Empire: they asked for his help, prayers and advice. Father Seraphim received everyone without exception. He met everyone with his special greeting, which became a symbol of his life: "Christ is risen, my joy."

Many of the instructions of St. Seraphim have come down to us thanks to his conversation with the landowner Nikolai Motovilov, who was the spiritual child of the saint. The words of the Monk Nikolai Alexandrovich subsequently wrote down, and the transcript of this amazing conversation has come down to our days.

The saint's heart stopped on January 14, 1833. The last words of the Monk Seraphim of Sarov were: "Be saved, do not lose heart, stay awake, today crowns are being prepared for us."

She lived with the noble lady Savina, whom she converted from paganism to Christianity. This happened during the reign of Emperor Hadrian. It was he who ordered the persecution of believers in Christ. Ruler Beryl fulfilled this order.

He learned about the holy virgin Seraphim and ordered her to be brought to trial. At the very first request, she fearlessly appeared before the executioners, wishing to receive a martyr's crown from the Lord. She came accompanied by her mistress Savina. Seeing a noble lady, Beryl ordered the girl to be released. But after a while he changed his mind and again summoned Seraphim to court.

He forced the virgin to offer sacrifices to the pagan gods, but she stood firm in her faith in Christ. Then the ruler committed a terrible atrocity - he gave it to the youths for reproach.

The saint prayed to the Lord to protect her. At the same moment, a strong earthquake began, and the shameless fell down in complete relaxation.

In the morning this wonderful incident became known to Beryl. He ordered Seraphim to restore health to these young men. The saint again began to ask the Lord for mercy on these people. Then she ordered them to get up. As soon as they got up, they immediately told the judge that the Angel had shielded Seraphim with himself, forbidding them to approach her.

But Beryl did not believe them and continued to urge the saint to renounce Christ. But nothing could dissuade the Christian. Then she was subjected to cruel torment: they beat her with sticks and burned her with burning candles. However, the wood chips from the stick with which Seraphim was beaten got into the eye of the ruler, and he became blind. Then he ordered the beheading of the martyr. Her body was buried by her lady Savina.
