Belobrysky: the origin of the word

In many vocabulary of Russian literature, a description of the word blond is given. It originates in Ancient Rus. Belobrysyi is an originally Russian concept and was born in the vastness of an immense homeland. Even the Old Slavs called it so those who had white or light eyebrows, eyelashes or hair. After all, the word "bry" meant "an eyebrow".

Blond: meaning and origin

A beautiful word ... Blond people called people back in ancient Russia. Now it is considered to be that the said word is derived from the existing color of curls (hair) in a person. However, it is not. The meaning of the word is exactly this, but its origin is wrong.

In ancient Russia was the concept of "hens", that is, "dust". Belobrysyi is "dusty white". It turns out that people are kind of powdered with white dust.

Applying a word

In some cases, they may be teasing children: "blondes". But, if you understand, there is nothing offensive about this. This is just a designation of the color of individual human traits: hair, eyebrows, eyelashes.

Especially in fashion now blondes or "blond". Some women even specifically discolor their hair and eyebrows to appear lighter. After all, light colors are associated with the sun, good, all good. Those who are fortunate to be born just such, should not be embarrassed and paint over their features.

Do not confuse blond with albino. The latter stand out sharply among other people. Albinos call people with transparent skin, absolutely white, not susceptible to sunburn. They can not be confused with anyone. Such people become because of the lack of pigment - melanin - in the skin. Eyelashes are colorless, and hair - not just light, but snow-white. People-albinos are not so much, to be honest, they are very few. The reasons for this phenomenon are different. The roots lie both in heredity, and in the consequences of the transferred diseases.

Belobrysye people are not albinos. At the first simply fair hair, eyelashes and brows. Albinos also have "discolored" facial features and the same hair.
