Perhaps what you read now seems fiction. Alas, everything said is true.
Imagine what Phillip and Kirril are doing in the world? This can not be? Not at all. The fact is that when these boys were registered, they were recorded by their illiterate people who did not know how to spell names with two letters.
We are literate people. And so that there wouldn’t be such an incident with someone’s son Gena, we’ll definitely find out how it is right: Gennady or Genady.
With an eye on the rules
What rules can we rely on when spelling the full name of the boy Gena? Alas, proper names do not obey any rules. Therefore, it is necessary to find out how to write correctly, Genady or Gennady, and remember the spelling of the name once and for all.
Where did you come to us
Simply put, whose name is this? Greek, it is translated as "noble." We generally have a lot of names from the Greek language borrowed.
And here it is, someone will ask? The article is not about the origin of names, but about how to spell the name of the Genes in full. Do not rush to be indignant, we have almost come to the point and are ready to discover the secret of writing this name.
Comparing Greek and Russian
How to spell the name: Genadiy or Gennady? Very soon we will give an answer to this question. In the meantime, we touch on the similarities between the Russian and Greek languages.
What is the similarity? Nothing in common. There the letters are completely incomprehensible. Let's see how the full name of the Genes is spelled in the original:
Γεννάδιος - noble
What do we see after the letter "e"? Two checkmarks similar to the English letter "V". What does this indicate? The fact that the name that came to us from Greece is written with us by analogy with its original spelling.
Guessed where everything is going? To the right thing: Gennady or Genady? The first option, of course. In the passport of an adult boy Genes should be written Gennady.
Short form
We found out how right: Gennady or Genady. We will write Gennady, with two "n". But that is the full name. And its abridged version as it is written?
And then the crocodile Gena comes to mind. In the book of the remarkable children's writer E.N. Ouspensky, the name of the crocodile was written with one letter "n". But could not he make a mistake with the writing of Eduard Nikolaevich?
Of course he couldn’t. The abbreviated form of the name Gennady is written with exactly one letter "n". That is Gene.
How to write diminutive forms
If we figured out with Gennady and Gena, we’ll talk about other diminutive forms of this name. How will we write them?
Genochka, Genoa, Genya, Genechka, Genok, Genasha, Genadik, Genadka. All these caressing and diminutive forms are written with one letter "n".
middle name
How right, Gennady or Genady, we now know. How is a middle name formed on a given name? And how to write it?
Female middle name is written as Gennadievna.
Male, respectively, Gennadievich.
That is, with the two letters "n", as we see.
Suggestions with this name
Since we have figured out everything that is possible, we figured out, it remains to make sentences with all forms of the name. They are quite useful for schoolchildren:
Gennady Ivanovich, they ask you to call.
Our Gennady has already turned twenty years old.
That Gene broke the cup! It's not my fault!
Genka, you’re a bad type.
Genochka, go get some bread. Take the money on the dresser.
Summarize
Now we know how right: Gennady or Genady. We outline the main aspects of the article:
So we told readers the correct spelling of the name Gennady. I would like to believe that this will help to avoid the incorrect registration of the child who was named Genoa. And the series of Cyril with Phillip will not be replenished with another, illiterate recorded by Genadius. Only Gennady, remember this.
