Jr girl. Why Daughters Aren’t Called Juniors: Unraveling the Naming Tradition

Why are girls not given the title “Junior” when named after their mothers. How does patriarchy influence naming conventions. What are the historical roots of naming practices. Can daughters be called Juniors.

The Historical Context of Naming Practices

Naming conventions have deep roots in cultural and societal norms. Throughout history, the practice of naming children has been influenced by various factors, including family traditions, social hierarchies, and practical considerations. To understand why daughters aren’t typically called “Juniors,” we must delve into the historical context of naming practices.

Ancient Roman Naming Customs

In ancient Rome, naming practices were quite different from what we see today. How did Romans name their children? For boys, numerical naming was common. The Roman emperor Augustus, for instance, was originally called Octavian, derived from the Latin word for “eighth.” This suggests that at some point in his family’s history, an ancestor may have been the eighth child.

What about girls in classical Rome? Interestingly, all girls in a family often bore the same name – the feminine form of the family name. To distinguish between sisters, they used sequential names. For example, the daughters of the general Scipio Africanus were known as Cornelia Africana Major and Cornelia Africana Minor, essentially “Big Cornelia” and “Little Cornelia.”

The Prevalence of Patronymics in Naming Traditions

Patronymics, or names derived from the father’s name, have been a standard practice in many cultures. This tradition reflects the patriarchal structure of many societies throughout history. But how exactly do patronymics work?

Examples of Patronymic Naming

• In Russia, patronymics are still widely used. Vladimir Putin’s middle name is Vladimirovich, meaning “son of Vladimir.”
• Russian women also have patronymics. For instance, Svetlana Iosifovna Alliluyeva was named after her father, Joseph Stalin.

Are there cultures that use matronymics, or names derived from the mother? While less common, matronymics do exist. In some cases, they were historically associated with illegitimate children whose fathers were unknown or had disowned them.

The Rarity of Matronymics and Its Implications

The scarcity of matronymics in naming traditions reflects broader societal norms and power structures. Why are matronymics so rare compared to patronymics? The answer lies in the historical dominance of patriarchal systems in many cultures.

Exceptions to Patronymic Dominance

Are there any notable exceptions to the prevalence of patronymics? In Greek mythology, the hero Achilles is sometimes identified as “Achilles, son of Thetis,” a sea goddess. This deviation from the norm underscores Thetis’s divine status, which outranked Achilles’s mortal father, Peleus.

Modern Examples of Women Using “Junior” or “II”

While uncommon, there are instances of women using the title “Junior” or “II” when named after their mothers. These cases often involve women of significant social standing or achievement. Let’s explore some notable examples:

1. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Jr.: The daughter of President Franklin D. Roosevelt and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. In New York Supreme Court documents, she was referred to as “2nd,” while her mother was called “Sr.”
2. Winifred Sackville Stoner Jr.: A child prodigy educated by her mother of the same name. She was known for her linguistic abilities and for authoring the famous couplet “In fourteen hundred ninety-two / Columbus sailed the ocean blue.”
3. Dorothy Fuldheim Jr.: Daughter of broadcast journalist Dorothy Fuldheim, who became a professor at Case Western Reserve University.
4. Carolina Herrera Jr.: Designs fragrances for her mother, the renowned fashion designer Carolina Herrera.

The Influence of Patriarchy on Naming Conventions

The rarity of daughters being called “Junior” is deeply rooted in historical patriarchal structures. How has patriarchy shaped naming conventions over time? In many societies, sons were traditionally seen as the carriers of family lineage and inheritors of property and titles. This perspective influenced naming practices, making it more common for sons to be named after their fathers and to receive suffixes like “Junior” or “II.”

The Significance of Male Lineage

Why was male lineage considered so important in many cultures? In patriarchal societies, the continuation of the family name and legacy was often tied to male heirs. This emphasis on male succession led to naming practices that highlighted the father-son relationship, including the use of “Junior” for sons named after their fathers.

Practical Considerations in Naming Children

Beyond cultural and societal norms, practical considerations play a significant role in naming children. What are some of these practical factors? Identifying family or tribal affiliation has been a primary concern throughout history. In ancient times, and to some extent today, knowing one’s family or tribe was crucial for survival and social integration.

Avoiding Duplication in Names

How do families avoid confusion when multiple members share the same name? Common practices include adding suffixes, using middle names, or employing nicknames. In the case of sons named after fathers, the use of “Junior” or “II” serves this practical purpose of differentiation.

The Evolution of Naming Practices in Modern Times

As societies evolve, so do naming practices. How are naming conventions changing in the modern era? There’s a growing trend towards more egalitarian naming practices, with some families choosing to name daughters after mothers or using family names from both parents.

The Rise of Gender-Neutral Naming

Is there a shift towards gender-neutral naming? In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in gender-neutral names, reflecting changing attitudes towards gender roles and identities. This trend may eventually influence the use of suffixes like “Junior” for both sons and daughters.

The tradition of not calling daughters “Junior” when named after their mothers is deeply rooted in historical, cultural, and practical factors. While exceptions exist, they often highlight women of notable achievement or social standing. As societies continue to evolve, it’s possible that naming practices will become more egalitarian, potentially leading to increased use of “Junior” or similar suffixes for daughters named after their mothers.

Cultural Variations in Naming Traditions

Naming traditions vary significantly across different cultures. How do these variations reflect cultural values and social structures? Let’s explore some examples:

Spanish Naming Customs

In Spanish-speaking countries, children often receive family names from both parents. For instance, Gabriel García Márquez’s name combines the family names of his father (Gabriel Eligio García) and his mother (Luisa Santiaga Márquez Iguarán). Does this practice represent a more balanced approach to naming? While it includes the mother’s family name, it’s worth noting that both names typically come from the paternal side of each parent’s family.

Icelandic Naming System

Iceland has a unique naming system where children’s last names are derived from their father’s (or sometimes mother’s) first name, followed by -son for boys or -dóttir for girls. For example, a man named Jón Einarsson might have a son named Ólafur Jónsson and a daughter named Sigríður Jónsdóttir. How does this system differ from the use of fixed family names? It creates a direct link between parent and child in each generation, rather than preserving a consistent family name over time.

The Role of Social Status in Naming Practices

Social status has historically played a significant role in naming practices. How does social standing influence the use of suffixes like “Junior” or “II”? In many cases, these suffixes have been associated with families of high social status or notable achievement.

Royal Naming Conventions

Royal families often use regnal numbers to distinguish between monarchs with the same name. For example, the current British monarch is King Charles III, following Charles II who reigned in the 17th century. Why is this practice more common in royal families? It serves the practical purpose of distinguishing between rulers for historical record-keeping and emphasizes the continuity of the royal lineage.

Are there examples of women using regnal numbers? Yes, the most well-known example is probably Queen Elizabeth II of the United Kingdom. This usage demonstrates that while less common, women can and do use numerical suffixes in their names, particularly in positions of power or prominence.

The Psychological Impact of Naming Practices

Names carry significant psychological weight, both for the individual and within family dynamics. How does being named after a parent affect a child’s sense of identity? Research suggests that sharing a name with a parent can create a strong sense of connection and legacy, but it may also lead to pressure to live up to the namesake’s achievements or reputation.

The Concept of Nominative Determinism

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. While not scientifically proven, this concept raises interesting questions about the potential influence of names on personal development and career choices. Could the practice of naming children after parents, with or without suffixes like “Junior,” influence their life paths?

Legal and Administrative Aspects of Naming

Naming practices are not just cultural or personal; they also have legal and administrative implications. How do legal systems handle naming conventions? In many countries, there are regulations governing what names can be given to children and how names are recorded on official documents.

The Use of Suffixes in Legal Documents

When it comes to legal documents, how are suffixes like “Junior” or “II” treated? In most jurisdictions, these suffixes are not considered part of a person’s legal name unless specifically included on the birth certificate. However, they may be used informally or on certain types of documentation to distinguish between family members with the same name.

Are there any legal restrictions on using “Junior” for daughters? Generally, there are no legal prohibitions against using “Junior” or similar suffixes for daughters. The rarity of this practice is more a matter of cultural tradition than legal constraint.

The Future of Naming Practices

As societies continue to evolve, so too will naming practices. What trends might we see in the future of naming? Some possibilities include:

• Increased use of gender-neutral names
• More flexibility in the use of suffixes like “Junior” regardless of gender
• Greater incorporation of diverse cultural naming traditions in multicultural societies
• The rise of chosen names or name changes as part of personal identity expression

Will we see more daughters being called “Junior” in the future? As gender norms continue to shift and evolve, it’s possible that the use of “Junior” and similar suffixes may become more gender-neutral. However, cultural change often happens slowly, and naming practices are deeply ingrained in many societies.

The tradition of not calling daughters “Junior” when named after their mothers is a complex interplay of historical, cultural, and practical factors. While rooted in patriarchal structures, naming practices are not static and continue to evolve with changing societal norms. As we move towards more egalitarian societies, it’s possible that we’ll see greater flexibility in naming conventions, potentially including more widespread use of suffixes like “Junior” for daughters named after their mothers. However, the deeply personal nature of naming ensures that individual families will continue to make choices that reflect their own values, traditions, and aspirations for their children.

Why Aren’t Daughters Named for their Mothers Called Juniors?

Matronymics and the English language

Why are girls and women not given the title “Junior,” “II,” etc., when named after their mothers, as boys are when named after their fathers? —Jorge Martinez

Surely you’ve heard of that well-known Englishwoman Elizabeth II.

You may think monarchical naming practices have nothing to do with your question. But they do. They illustrate what’s going on here: The progeny who need to be conspicuously numbered (or anyway ordered chronologically) are the ones who rule—and generally, though not always, they’ve been male.

I don’t mean to overemphasize the fell hand of the patriarchy. Naming a child is above all a practical matter. The first order of business is to identify what family or tribe you belong to—in ancient times, and to a considerable extent now, these were the people who’d have your back.

That done, you needed a name to distinguish you from your relatives. To avoid duplication, a common practice has been to pile on additional names or suffixes.

Some of these were less imaginative than others. When the early Romans needed to keep their kids straight, they evidently numbered them. The Roman emperor we know as Augustus was in his youth called Octavian, from the Latin for eighth. That’s not because Augustus himself was the eighth-born child; by the emperor’s day, Octavian was a family name and had lost any strictly numerical significance. But perhaps one of his ancestors had been.

For girls in classical Rome, though, sequential naming remained literally descriptive, since all girls in a family bore the same name, the feminine form of the family name, often without any distinguishing given names. Thus, sequential names: the daughters of the general Scipio Africanus, whose family name was Cornelius, were known as Cornelia Africana Major and Cornelia Africana Minor—Big Cornelia and Little Cornelia. (Their mom was Aemilia Tertia, Aemilia the third. Whether she was the third girl among her sibs we don’t know.)

But these were birth-order names. Matters get more interesting when we turn to generational names—naming a kid after a parent or other ancestor. Giving children patronymics—names derived from those of their fathers—is standard practice in some cultures. Vladimir Putin’s middle name is Vladimirovich, son of Vladimir, because (duh) that was his dad’s name too. Russian women have patronymics as well: e.g., Svetlana Iosifovna Alliluyeva, named after her father, Joseph Stalin.

Use of matronymics, on the other hand, is rare. In the 1800s it was sometimes taken as the mark of a bastard, whose father either wasn’t known or had disowned the child. And no, the practice common in Spanish-speaking countries where a child receives family names from the father’s and mother’s sides—e. g., Gabriel García Márquez, son of Gabriel Eligio García and Luisa Santiaga Márquez Iguarán—doesn’t really count as an exception: What’s combined there are, effectively, the family names of the kid’s father and maternal grandfather.

Clearer exceptions do exist. In Greek literature the hero Achilles is sometimes identified as “Achilles, son of Thetis,” a sea goddess. But there you go: Achilles’s father was a mere mortal king, Peleus. Once the old man hooked up with Thetis, he was outranked.

You see my point. In a male-dominated world, a son named after his father is commonplace. A daughter named after her mother is fairly unusual, and a daughter whose naming is proclaimed with the title “Junior” or “II” betokens a woman—perhaps two women—of unusual stature. Consider a few modern examples:

1. Anna Eleanor Roosevelt Jr. was the firstborn child and only daughter of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt and Anna Eleanor Roosevelt. In New York Supreme Court documents, not only was the younger Anna Eleanor referred to as “2nd,” her mother was referred to as “Sr. ”

2. Winifred Sackville Stoner Jr. was a child prodigy given a classical education as a toddler by her like-named mother. She reputedly spoke six languages, was typing at age six, and had translated Mother Goose into Esperanto by age eight. A prolific versifier, she’s best remembered for the couplet “In fourteen hundred ninety-two / Columbus sailed the ocean blue.” Mère et fille toured the U.S. in the 1920s scouting for other geniuses.

3. Broadcast journalist Dorothy Fuldheim applied the “Jr.” suffix to her similarly-named daughter, who grew up to be a professor at Case Western Reserve University.

4. Carolina Herrera Jr. designs fragrances for her mother, the fashion designer.

5. Nancy Sinatra, daughter of Frank Sinatra and Nancy Barbato Sinatra, is sometimes referred to as Nancy Sinatra Jr. The senior Nancy is chiefly known for having been the wife of one entertainer and the mother of another. However, on the evidence of other women who named their daughters after themselves, I’ll guess she’s not someone I’d care to cross. —Cecil Adams

A 14-year-old girl was suspected of killing her younger sister: friends named a possible motive

A preliminary investigation into the brutal murder of a 10-year-old girl in Saratov led to an unexpected result. Her 14-year-old sister, who is currently the main suspect, could brutally deal with the child. “MK” understood the details of this terrible crime.

14-year-old Milena (name changed – Auth.) has already confessed to her deed during interrogation. But she couldn’t explain why. There is information that the girl allegedly mentioned that she “did not like her sister.” Since the suspect is 14 years old, she was detained and is in the IVS (temporary detention facility).

The shocking crime became known on 13 October. In the evening, the girls’ mother returned from work and saw the mutilated body of the youngest daughter, with multiple stab wounds (reported at least 19wounds on the abdomen and back) and burns. On October 14, the Investigative Committee of the Investigative Committee of the Russian Federation for the Saratov Region reported: “A 14-year-old suspect has been detained in the murder of a young girl, committed with particular cruelty. This is her sister. ” Even the worldly-wise detectives are at a loss: how strong was the hatred for the younger sister (if the guilt of the older one, of course, is proven) in order to chop her up with a knife, and before that pour boiling water over and set fire to, causing unthinkable suffering?

It so happened that mother and grandmother, who came to them, left the house that day on business, together with the older girl. The younger sister was left alone. The eldest then returned and, according to the investigation, did this evil and left again. She was later detained.

– The family is considered prosperous. Both parents work. They lived in abundance. The suspect was not registered anywhere, she studied averagely, but at school they characterize her positively, – law enforcement agencies told MK. – It is obvious that some unhealthy internal situation was hiding behind the external well-being of this family. Or something happened to the girl’s psyche. Investigators are now investigating this, a psychiatric examination will be carried out.

There is a version from local residents that the sisters were stepfathers and the stepfather allegedly hated the older, stepfather. Her mother also seemed to dislike her because of this and only took care of the youngest.

– The banal jealousy of the elder towards the younger due to the fact that all the attention was paid to the latter! says a woman who knows the family. – And the youngest enjoyed parental love and could “add fuel to the fire.” Parents are to blame for dividing their children into a loved one and not.

“MK” talked to Olga, a resident of Saratov, whose daughter goes to school with her sisters (the eldest is in the 8th grade, the youngest went to the 4th). Olga said that the sisters have the same last name. She did not hear about the fact that they were half-breeds, although “even if they have the same last name, this may mean that the husband could have adopted, and the family simply did not advertise it.”

– What do you know about the family, about the older girl?

– We live in the same yard, we have the same playground. Children all know each other, run, play together. And the girls are both good, their grandmother grazed them. I am also very sorry for the elder now, such a misfortune … Probably, this is something psychiatric. Normal teenager, normal. There are, you know, such teenagers that you look at and think: yes, you will do trouble to your parents! And here everything was completely calm. That’s why the shock. And what they write in public about suicidal tendencies is only from the words of classmates. Maybe they were engaged in self-harm on the basis of quarrels in the family (self-harm – deliberate damage to one’s body without suicidal intentions, occurs as a symptom of many mental disorders, – Ed.). Yesterday, teachers and parents held conversations in the eighth grade, where the eldest girl studied, and it turned out that children consider self-harm to be such a “fun”, that is, they do not see psychiatry in it.

In our school everyone is silent about this, they only whisper. They do not want to cause unnecessary pain to the family. We are slowly collecting money for the teacher to give to my mother. And we are waiting for the date of the funeral.

The suspect is already 14 years old, which means that she will be held criminally liable. The article under which the case was initiated implies 20 years in prison. “MK” clarified with a forensic expert how much it will shine for a teenager if the guilt is proven?

“In this case, a 14-year-old minor can be sentenced to imprisonment for a term of not more than 10 years, and she will serve it in an educational colony,” says the senior lecturer in criminology at the Ural State University of Law, deputy director of the Institute of State and International Law Maxim Matveev. – No matter how atrocious a crime is committed, the most severe punishment for minors is 10 years; the criminal law does not provide for other, more stringent options.

True, I am talking about the case if the medical examination establishes that the minor was aware of the actual nature and social danger of her actions. If a mental disorder is established that does not exclude sanity, this will be a mitigating circumstance. And then coercive measures of a medical nature can be applied to her, in other words, she will be placed in a special medical institution of a closed type.

who was Anastasia Zavorotnyuk’s “youngest daughter” photographed in Moscow

27-year-old Anna Zavorotnyuk returned to Moscow for a while. The eldest daughter of the 52-year-old actress showed a photo with a little girl who was mistaken for her 4-year-old sister Mila.

Social networks of Anna Zavorotnyuk

The Honored Artist of Russia has not appeared in public for almost five years. The My Fair Nanny star is battling brain cancer. Relatives of Anastasia Zavorotnyuk did everything to protect her at this time of taking away the public. Figure skater Pyotr Chernyshev also does not go out and avoids comments about his wife’s health.

The couple do not show their daughter Mila, who will turn five in October. The last time Anastasia posted a photo of her youngest daughter was in October 2019, when she was about a year old. After some time, it became known about the terrible diagnosis of the actress.

The only one who allows rare revelations about the condition of the artist is her eldest daughter. True, Anna confines herself to general formulations, without going into medical details. She mainly talks about her feelings about her mother’s illness. The protracted depression led to the fact that the girl was forced to seek qualified psychological help.

ADVERTISING – CONTINUED BELOW

Anna appeared in the marriage of Anastasia Zavorotnyuk with businessman Dmitry Stryukov, from the same relationship she has a 22-year-old son Michael. The eldest daughter of the star tried herself as an actress and starred in one of the episodes of the Closed School series, but now she prefers to realize herself as a blogger and model. Last year, Anna left for the UAE, where her husband is doing business. The newlyweds bought an apartment in Dubai. However, from time to time Zavorotnyuk returns to Moscow to solve the accumulated problems and see his relatives. Ari, she jokingly calls the Emirates her dacha.

Last week, the blogger unexpectedly returned to Russia without explaining the reason for her trip. While walking around the capital, Anna captured a girl in a charming blue cotton dress and light sandals from the back. The baby’s blond hair was gathered in neat ponytails. She looked impatiently at the outdoor refrigerator display case, choosing a summer treat. “For ice cream,” Anna explained.

Many users immediately decided that Anna showed her younger sister – the girl was the right age. This caused a stir on the web.
