Name days (angel’s day)
| October 27 | Martyr Nazarius of Milan |
A name day is the feast of the saint after whom a person was baptised. If several saints share the name, custom is to celebrate the first feast after the birthday. Shown here are the main feasts in the calendar of the Russian Orthodox Church, with civil (Gregorian) dates.
Character by tradition
In name descriptions, Nazar is calm, purposeful and reliable. He is a man of few words but knows how to get his way. He can be stubborn. His strength is composure and loyalty.
Name numerology
Letters of the name Nazar («Назар») in the Russian 1–9 table: Н 6 + А 1 + З 9 + А 1 + Р 9 = 26 → 8. The sum is reduced to one digit; the master numbers 11, 22 and 33 are kept.
Name number 8 — power and achievement. Eight is the number of business and money: organising talent, ambition, skill with resources. The weak spot is a domineering streak and measuring life by results.
Vowels give the soul number 2 (partnership and sensitivity), consonants the personality number 6 (care and harmony). Inner motive: partnership and sensitivity; outer manner: care and harmony. Such a gap is not bad in itself: others see one side, close people know the other.
In Slavic Cyrillic numerals (using the modern spelling of the name): Н=50 + А=1 + З=7 + А=1 + Р=100 = 159, reduced to 6. Letters that had no numeric value are skipped. This is an additional digit, not a second name number: meanings for the Cyrillic numerals were added in the 20th century, modeled on Western numerology.
