First version: Arabic trace
Among the thousands of names that modern parentscan give their child, there are several, in the origin of which there is no complete clarity. One such name is Linar. The meaning of the name Linar has several options. Some sources indicate that this name is of Arab origin, in translation it means "Light of Allah", or "fiery". But the "light" in Arabic "noor", and "fire", indeed, "bunk." Therefore, part of this version has the right to exist. But here it is worth noting that this name is not found in any list of Arab names, and there are no famous people with this name either. In Western social networks, people with this name are also not registered. Although, perhaps this is just a coincidence.
Second version: Ancient Greece
Another version leads us to Ancient Greece ormore close to us times, on the territory of those countries where the Greek, and then the Roman culture (intercepted the baton) had a great influence. In these countries, the name "Apollinaris" was used, which originated in the name of the god Apollo (god of healing, prophecy, law, art, beauty and wisdom). Nowadays this name is outdated and there are few where it is used. Perhaps it is still occasionally found in Spain, where it sounds like "Apolinaris". It can be assumed that the name Linar came from this name, just as Antony once became Anton or Athanasius - Afonya (there is also such a separate name).
Third version: Rome or flowerAnother version speaks for Latin(Romanesque) roots. In Latin, there was the word "linarius" (a workshop for flax processing). As we can see, the sound of this word is very close to the man's name Linar. The meaning of the name Linar, therefore, can be related to the production and processing of flax. Then came the word "linaria". "Linaria vulgaris" is the scientific name of a beautiful yellow field flower, which in Russian is called "ordinary flaxseed", or in the people "wild flax, bush, gill". Who knows, perhaps, some time ago, some centuries ago, in the vast territory of the Roman Empire, someone decided to call his child by this name in honor of the flower, and then the Linares appeared in Russia? Everything can be, the flower is really beautiful, but it has almost no healing properties or little known to modern medicine. A little confused and the fact that there is no historical evidence of people with this name. Although, maybe, just none of them became famous.
Latest version: USSR
Well, finally, the latest version of whatmeans the name of Linar. This version is the most unexpected and least "glamorous". Perhaps the name Linar is derived from "Lenar", for some time quite a popular name in the Soviet Union. There was such a period in the history of the USSR, when the children were given the most ridiculous names. The fact is that before the revolution all the inhabitants of Russia basically adhered to the Saints, that is, the child was called according to the birthday. After the revolution, people felt freedom and, one might say, "broke off", including everything that concerned the selection of names for children. It was then that the Birches, Oaks, Tungsten and Rubies appeared, comrades (!), Ideas (!!), Tankmen and Dresines (!!!). Many names were composed of the first syllables of two or more words. For example, Reomir and Rome (revolution and peace), Remizan (the world revolution took up), Marlene (Marx and Lenin) and many other, no less strange options. People with such names had, as a rule, a difficult childhood, and as soon as they reached adulthood, they changed their name urgently. However, some of the names, most euphonious, still caught on. For example, Vladlen (Vladimir Lenin) or Renata (revolution, science, peace). The same applies to the name Lenar or Linar. The meaning of the name in this version is the Lenin army. Just after a while, "e" was replaced by "and", and in the kindergartens came the little Linares.
As a conclusion
It's not a simple name, Linar. The meaning of the name, perhaps, can be found only by specialists. Another option is to create a forum for people with this name, their friends and relatives, and that people who own Arabic, Türkic, Tatar and a couple of languages are necessarily present at this forum.
Scientists, etymology, too, would not interfere. A similar forum already exists in the network Vkontakte, it registered more than 70 participants. But so far beyond the Arabic version (which requires verification) or our latest version - Lenar (the participants of this forum, basically, are not ready to accept this version) they did not advance. And yet: maybe it is not by chance that a lot of Linares in modern Russia are from Tatarstan and the Caucasus? You can not ignore the name Lennard, which came from the "Leonard" ("brave lion" in the ancient Germanic languages). However, only experts will be able to determine the name of Linar.
