History and Origin
Macar is a masculine given name of Greek origin; dates back to Ancient Greek. Μακάριος ("Makarios") - "blessed, happy". In ancient Greek mythology, "Makarios" is one of the epithets of Zeus (in Russian name there is another name with a similar original etymology - Felix).
The ecclesiastical form of the name is Macarius.
In the Christian name book, the name Macarius refers to several early Christian saints, among whom the most famous is Macarius the Great (IV century), a hermit, the author of several spiritual works. Macarius of Alexandria, who was his contemporary and friend, is also venerated as a saint. Macarius of Antioch was tortured and exiled during the reign of Julian the Apostate (361–363). There is also a martyr Macarius, executed for professing Christianity in 311 under the emperor Galerius.
In the Orthodox tradition of naming, the name had a high semantic status, as evidenced by the large number of church figures of different eras who bore this name. However, unlike a number of names, which, with frequent use in the church environment, became rarely used among the laity, the name Makar did not become such and was among the fairly common names. The frequency of the name in the XVII-XIX centuries explains the presence of several common Russian surnames: Makarov, Makarkin, Makarochkin, Makarshin, Makarychev and others.
In Russian language, the idiom "Where Makar did not drive calves" is known; makar's name is also used in the proverbs "Makarka wrote with his garbage"; "Makar bows, and Makar on seven sides"; "Don't Blame Makar: Sori Out of Your Own Pocket" and others. The involvement of the name in Russian folklore also confirms the former prevalence of the name.
After the October Revolution, the name practically fell into disuse; in statistical studies of the frequency of names of V. A. Nikonov in a number of cities of central Russia in 1961, the name Makar (or Makary) was never found; according to A. V. Superanskaya and A. V. Suslova for 1988 in Leningrad, the name Makar was one of the rare names.
Patronymic: Makarovich, Makarovna, the colloquial version is Makarych.
