A name is one of the means of protection, a parental blessing that children receive.

"From good man will always remain good name“- a wise proverb of one of the Turkic peoples tells us.

Nowadays, the Turks live in Asia, northwestern China, Eastern Europe. They profess Islam, but there are also Orthodox Christians and a small part of Buddhists. Learning the meaning of a name is an amusing trip to the distant past different nations, which helps to understand their worldview and study everyday life.

Traditions

Like many other peoples, the Turks have a name that is not just a set of sounds. It, like a surname, carries a semantic load; it tells us something about the person who bears this name or after whom the person is named. We live in a society and adopt from each other what we consider to be the best. So the Turks were influenced by neighboring peoples, for example, Arabs or Muslims. But still, according to tradition, a newborn can be named as the object or animal that his mother saw immediately after giving birth, or as the person who came to her first to congratulate her on the birth of her first child. There are also male Turkic names that are also used to call women.

And if for some reason the babies died in the family, or something bad happened to the eldest child, then the newborn was called a spell against an accident, so that the name would protect the baby. But giving the name of a recently deceased beloved grandfather is considered a bad omen. Only after two generations can his name be repeated, when the pain of loss among his closest relatives has already subsided. Another name for the child could be the weather, the day of the week or the month when he was born.

Turkic male names and their meanings

Nature rewards people with abundant spring rain and warm summer sun. And in this case, male Turkic names appear, such as:

Yagmyr - “rain”.
Yaz, which means “spring”.
Yazdurdy, which means “spring has come.”
Yazberdy - “spring has given.”

But sometimes, on the contrary, lightning cuts through the sky, peals of thunder thunder overhead and a mudflow descends from the top of the mountain, then the following male Turkic names appear:

Silgeldy - “the mudflow has come”
Amangeldy - “so that he returns alive.”

The main activity of men is protecting the family, the Motherland, and this, of course, is also reflected in male Turkic names:

Aasim means "protector".
Jeng - "fight".
Fatih - "winner".
Gylych - “checker”.
Agakhan, which means “senior khan”.

Influence of religion

It should be clarified that initially, around the first millennium BC, the Turks had their own religion, which was called Tengrism.

There has not yet been complete agreement among scientists in understanding the essence of Tengrism. Some researchers have come to the conclusion that this doctrine took the form of a complete concept with ontology (the doctrine of a single deity), cosmology (the concept of three worlds with the possibility of mutual communication), mythology and demonology (distinguishing ancestral spirits from nature spirits) by the 12th-13th centuries .

Century followed century, and wars occurred. This made its own adjustments to people’s lives, religion changed, and words began to come from different languages. And after the revolution, Russian names became widespread, and in our time European ones are also used.

But traditions are strong, and now you can meet a person who has an official name in documents, but in life all the people around him call him with a male name of Turkic origin. It is necessary to clarify that a name does not always refer to one particular language or people (Russian, Iranian, Turkic, Arabic, etc.). The Turks also have a symbiosis of words from different languages.

The best amulet

Parents want the best for their child. How to make all your wishes come true? This is where a name-amulet will help. It will protect, provide a chance, help a person concentrate at the right moment, determine his fate - this is the karma of the name. The Turks could call the boy a conspiracy against the evil eye or against death in battle.

Modernity

Let's look at modern male Turkic names.

Rustem - taken from the Iranian epic. There he is a hero, a winner. Accordingly, in life the boy who will be called by this name will strive to be the best in everything, even in small details your wardrobe. This is a beautiful person externally and internally, striving for a life of comfort. I must say that he succeeds. He is a non-conflict, diligent and diligent worker.

Salamguly is a combination of the Arabic word “salam” and the Turkic “gul”. If translated, the meaning of this name is “slave of the world.” Men who have been independent and courageous since childhood. They do not need support, they are inquisitive and skillful, the matter is in their hands - and these basic character qualities lead to victory in any business they choose. Rarely looks around and extends a helping hand to someone from his environment simply because he does not notice those in need in the events of his life.

Azamat is an Arabic name. Means knight, hero, hero. Here even the first letter of the name suggests that this is a decisive, resourceful person who acts and thinks like lightning - quickly. By mature years, he becomes a leader in his business, needs a change in events, and does not like stagnation in his life.

The Turkic male name means “wise” - Aref. Wonderful name, which brings its owner many friends who are ready to help at any moment. Aref is open to communication, a cheerful person, he thinks deeply and thoroughly, as a result of which he becomes a leader with whom he feels comfortable and safe to be around.

Albert (Albir) is a Germanic name. It spread and became popular not only among the Turkic peoples; in fact, its meaning is “noble, brilliant light.” Names that begin with the sound [A] endow their owner with vitality, determination, and the will to win at any cost. This man is a witty egoist whose ship is in full sail, confidently avoiding obstacles on his life path, goes to a high goal. He has an analytical mind, while remaining a diplomat and thus always achieving undeniable success in his life. The only thing left to add is that it is still better for him to choose creative professions.

Beautiful Turkic names

Timerlan (Tamerlane) or Timur is a beautiful male name, Turkic in origin. Means “iron, resistant.” It came to us from ancient times. If children in the family were sick or died, then this name was given to the newborn boy so that he would move forward and not give in to life’s difficulties. This man is restrained in emotions and is an introvert, loves to learn and achieves excellent results in maturity, achieving leading positions in the field he has chosen.

Amal (Akmal) - male name Amal - is of Turkic origin, meaning "ideal or most perfect." Since childhood, this boy has not been bothered by loneliness, because he thinks that this is an attribute of a strong, self-confident man. This person was created to develop. He happily studies greedily, without laziness, sets a goal for himself and achieves it, even if it requires superhuman efforts from him. Swift, self-confident, he wins the hearts of women, but does not value stability. Constantly on the move and therefore he does not like to be statically in the same place. He likes to move around, enjoy a change of scenery, and also learn new things, so he needs to choose a profession taking into account this feature of his. By maturity, for the same reason, he may remain alone, however, as stated above, this will not make him sad.

History of the people

Today, male Turkic names tell us the history of peoples. A person's name could change over the course of his life depending on need. Thus informing us about faith, life, history and culture.

Not only people, but also objects and natural phenomena, appearance a person, the qualities of his character, the month, the day of the week - all these are male Turkic names. The boy had one diminutive name, which described the human soul. When he became a young man, his status changed, and he could no longer have a child's name. Therefore, it also changed and, of course, when the young man became a man and achieved some success in life, his name was transformed into a title, reporting his achievements.

Turkic-speaking peoples live on a vast territory covering lands from the Mediterranean to Far East. Turkic minorities are found in Western Europe, North America, Australia and even China. Everywhere, the descendants of this ancient tribe, to one degree or another, remain true to their names, enriching the names of neighboring peoples with them.

The warlike “character” of Turkic names.

The Turkic peoples believed that by choosing a name, they reveal the essence of a person, his soul. The name chooses fate. It served as a kind of “safe conduct”, a talisman. In ancient times, many people's names were taboo; a word that coincided with the name had to be replaced with a synonym. Personal names of different nations have their own specific features. For example, among the Slavs the components “good”, “light”, “peace”, “holy” predominate. Jews and Arabs have words that emphasize detachment from everything earthly and turning to God. Names of Turkic origin very often associated with belligerence - Jarbash (cutting heads), Sanzhar (piercing), Elbuz (destroyer), Kutuz (mad).

Totem and name.

Large group male and female Turkic names has to do with the totemic beliefs of people in those distant times. They associated their origin with animals and flora. The ancestors of the Turkic peoples believed in descent from the wolf and especially revered this beast. It was probably they who brought the cult of the wolf to the East Slavic peoples. The wolf was the totem animal of the Huns, Polovtsy, and Golden Horde people. Remnants of this cult are found among the Karachais, Balkars, Kumyks, and Tatars. Turkic names Ashin, Burebay, Burish, Kashkar, Chany, Kort and their derivatives are derived from the word “wolf” among various Turkic peoples.

The “animal” theme of Turkic names was not accidental. Bearers of such names were supposed to inherit the qualities of these animals. Therefore, children were often named after the totem animal of a tribe or clan - Aslan (lion), Kaplan (tiger), Bars (leopard), Ayu (bear), Lachin (falcon), Barkut (golden eagle), Kunduz (otter), Buga (bull) ), Dombai (bison), Etbai (dog).

The name determines the place in society.

The Turks did not bear one name all their lives. It was supposed to indicate a person’s position in society, which was changing. The boy had a nickname, the young man had a rank, the man had a title. A large layer of male Turkic names consists of names that include a title - Bekbolat, Bektash, Biaga, Bijan, Biaslan. Boys' names were often associated with the names of baby animals - Bulterek (wolf cub), Kyuzi (spring lamb), Buta (camel cub).

The whole world is in names.

Turkic names for boys and girls reflected the world, deification of nature - Aisylu (Beauty Moon), Aibika (Mistress Moon), Chulpan (planet Venus), Koyash (sun), Yoldyz (star). Even household items became names - Yzyrga (earring), Torgy (silk). The names spoke about the attitude of the parents towards the birth of the child - Svendek (rejoiced), Torsyn (let him live), Ulmas (not die), Tansyk (desired). Endowed a person positive qualities– Atyn (rich), Batyr (strong), Kotly (happy). Women's names often contained the root “sylu” (“sulu”), which means “beautiful” - Bayansylu, Sylugel, Gelsylu, Sylukai, Tuksylu, Korbansylu.

Chuvash, Khakass, Tatars, Bashkirs - the list of these nationalities can be continued for a very long time. All these peoples are an integral part of the Turks and heirs of their culture. Today, the descendants of these people live on many continents of the planet, but each of them remembers where he came from. For the Turks at all times, the name of a person occupied a special place.

The meaning of the name for the Turks

The Turks believed that if information about a certain animal is encrypted in a child’s name, then it will accompany and protect that person throughout his life: Lachin (falcon), Kunduz (otter), Yunus (dove), Djeyran (roe deer), etc. .d.

But most of all these people revered the wolf.

In their culture, there is a legend that a she-wolf gave birth to the ancestors of the Turkic tribes. Therefore, Ashin, Burebay, Kashkar, Kort and many other names translated mean wolf.

No less important place The dog also occupied a place in the life of the Turkic people: Nokhai (dog). They considered her a guardian animal that protects from evil forces other world. There was even a certain ritual when, before laying the foundation of a house, they first killed a dog and buried it in this place, and only then began construction. Thus, it was believed that the soul of the sacred animal would forever protect the house.

For women

The beauty of Turkic women has always been compared to delicate flowers or precious stones. This is emphasized by the Turkic female names:

If there were many daughters in a family, and still no boys were born, then the girls were called Kizlarbas (no need for girls) or Ulzhan (boy after girl). Sometimes the child’s name reflected the time of his birth: Idolai (born on a full moon), Khoshar (born in April).

The Turks also have a rule of attaching the word sylu (beautiful) to a woman’s name: Alsylu (beautiful moon), Bayansylu (happy beauty), Gulsylu ( beautiful flower), Kamarsylu (lunar beauty), Nursylu (radiant beauty), Tuksylu (ripe beauty).

For men

Despite the fact that these people strongly emphasized equality between the sexes. Turkic male names personified strength and valor. This was directly reflected in the Turkic names of boys and their meaning: Rustam (giant), Fatih (winner), Aasim (defender).

When parents wanted to see a certain character trait in their child, they chose the appropriate name for him: Karim (noble), Kutuz (mad), Zhanbulat (courageous).

Karachay names were widespread among the Turks: Abrek (most blessed), Alkhaz (special), Aslanbek (mighty like a lion), Aslanmyrza (lion prince), Baraz (exalted), Bayramuk (festive), Chuka (abundant), etc. d.

Khakass names

The shamans of Khakassia categorically forbade calling children by common names. According to their opinion, each human name should be strictly individual, and characterize specific person. So, Khakass female names reflected the character and behavior of their owners:

Idol - divine;
Ananka - begged from God;
Aris - silent;
Akhpay - courageous;
Kadik is the polar star;
Kona - noble;
Mamai is a fighter;
Markha - desired;
Choonhuis is fat.

But over time, Khakass names for girls and boys still changed, acquiring character traits European names.

Chuvash names

This people differs from their related Turks in their unusual rite of naming children. He was seen off by Shursukhal, the most revered old man of the family, on the seventh day of the child’s life. Before this, the newborn was called Yatsar (nameless).

The name of the child was chosen by Shursukhal, but he also took into account the opinion of the parents.

Otherwise, the Chuvash names of girls and boys are very similar to the Khakass, that is, they characterize a specific person, and are unlike any other names: Karsak (hare), Salampi (friendly), Tuipi (born for a wedding), Ernuk (born on Friday) .

Unusual facts

There are many facts associated with these names:

The Turks did not give a child a name for life. His name could change depending on his age and position in society. As a rule, the child was given an affectionate nickname, like Bulterek (wolf cub), or Buta (camel cub), over time he was given a name that was most suitable for his character (Aslan - a lion, Saaskhan - a magpie), and the adult already had every right not only to independently change your name, but also add a title to it (Aga - master, Hanbek - master).
For a short time, the Turks had a tradition of giving their child a bad name in order to protect them from the evil eye and bad people(for example, Sasikbai, that is, smelly). But fortunately, it did not take root, and these people continued to call their children good names to bring happiness and good luck into their lives.
In Turkic culture there is no clear distinction between male and female names. There are often cases when a boy was called a female name, and a girl a male name. For example, the name Chulpan (morning star) was given to both boys and girls equally. When twins were born, the girls were traditionally called Fatima and Zuhra, and the boys - Hassan and Husan. If there are many same-sex children in a family, then they were called by consonant names, for example, Elvira and Gulmira.
Sometimes children often died in the family. Then each new child, regardless of his gender, was called Tursun (let him stay), Ulmas (not die) or Turdi (stay). If the newborn’s father or mother died, the child was given the name Yodgor (memory).

Turkic-speaking peoples live on a vast territory, covering lands from the Mediterranean to the Far East. Turkic minorities are found in Western Europe, North America, Australia and even China. Everywhere, the descendants of this ancient tribe, to one degree or another, remain true to their names, enriching the names of neighboring peoples with them.
