Names in Bashkiria were formed in debt historical process from Arabic, Turkic, Latin, English and German. They preserved traces of interaction with various nationalities and manifested their national identity.

Three types of Bashkir names can be distinguished by origin.

From Turkic

Basically, these are Turkic words meaning natural phenomena or human qualities.. For example, Aryslan - "lion", Kara - "black", Bazyk - "strong", Emesh - "fruit", etc.

From Arabic or Persian

They penetrated into the Bashkir language with the adoption of Islam. Some of them also mean phenomena and objects: Borkhan "proof", Vegiz "mentor", etc. Many are associated with new religion. So there is a group of names that include the word "Islam" - Islambek, Islametdin, Nurislam, etc. Another group consists of names associated with the prophet Muhammad and epithets dedicated to Allah: Rehim - "merciful", Yappar - "powerful", Rahman - "merciful", etc.

From European languages

  • German— Rudolf.
  • Greek Arsen, Ernest.
  • English Arthur, Edgar.
  • latin- Albert, Mars, Renat, Spartak.
  • French- Marat, Marcel.
  • Jewish- Ismagil, Ishak, Rachel.

Until the 20th century bashkir names were polysyllabic, included components reflecting the status of the carrier, his family ties, etc. This tradition is now a thing of the past.

How do Bashkirs usually call male babies?

Previously, the name of the baby was given by the midwife, who helped in childbirth.. Parents left him if they liked it. In Bashkiria, it is not customary to give children the names of parents, grandparents. This is considered impolite. Among Bashkir parents, the names of the heroes of national tales and legends are popular. Especially often they are called twins. For example, Salavat and Yulai.

In Bashkortostan, the tradition of naming brothers and sisters has been preserved consonant names. For example, Dim and Rome or Shakir and Shakira. Last child in the family they often gave a name with the ending “kinye” - “last”, to emphasize his position in the family. And, of course, Bashkir parents try to choose names with favorable meanings for boys.

It is remarkable that more and more parents are striving to adhere to the tradition of naming their son or daughter with a name characteristic of their ethnic group. In this article, we will look at beautiful Bashkir names for boys and girls, and also get acquainted with interesting facts, which will help you decide on the future name for your baby and learn something new for yourself.

Excursion into history

The modern names of the Bashkirs have for the most part both Bashkir proper and common Turkic (the advantage here is for the Kypchak), Arabic and Persian roots. There are also borrowings from Russian and Western European languages.

The following can be traced in the basics of personal Bashkir names:

  • nicknames of genera, families;
  • a number of toponyms;
  • astronomical names;
  • names of wild animals, birds, plants;
  • names of precious stones and metals;
  • various natural phenomena;
  • names of seasons, months and even days of the week.

Among other things, one can also find ancient protective names preserved in the memory of the people, names-amulets, secret nicknames known only to the closest. If such a name was recognized by a bad stranger, then its owner was defenseless under the spell of dark magic.

Naming Features

The privilege of naming a newborn child Bashkir people had a midwife. If it was to the liking of the baby's family, then they could leave it, if not, the foremen of the family or religious ministers could later change this name to a more suitable one.

Before the communists came to power, and in remote areas and up to the 30s of the last century, the tradition of giving children two- and even three-root names prevailed among the Bashkirs. Today, this custom is almost completely a thing of the past - modern Bashkir names are mostly two-syllable and one-syllable.

Curious and next tradition people: give children names that are consonant with the names of the father (for a son), mother (for a daughter), older brothers and sisters. For example: Dim - Rim, Ildar - Ildus, Lilo - Zilo, etc. If there is a boy and a girl in the family, then the parents could well call them similarly: Shakira - Shakir, Anis - Anisa, etc. The twins were given similar topics Bashkir names: national heroes(boy brothers Yulai and Salavat), Muslim prophets (Ibrahim and Ismoil). They could also emphasize that there are two children in the family by the fact that one of the guys was called Igezek or Igezbay, which translates as "second", "twins".

Peculiarly singled out last child in the family - his name contained the component "kinye", which translates as "the last", "the last". However, if an unplanned replenishment suddenly appeared after him, then parents or relatives could directly express their attitude towards the baby - Altyn ("golden") or Artyk ("extra").

Anthroponymy

The totality of anthroponyms (various proper names) among the Bashkirs at present is the surname, name and patronymic. Such a structure was not always in use. Surnames among the people began to appear in the 18th century, but became widespread only in the 19th century. Patronymics arose even later - in Soviet time. Before the revolution, Bashkir names and surnames were closely related. In those days, the name of the father always became the surname of the son. It was possible to depart from this tradition in the middle of the 20th century. Previously, family surnames could literally be counted on the fingers - only the Bashkir nobility wore them.

Modern Bashkir surnames, like Russians, end in suffixes -ov, -in, -ev. Previously, this was not the case. A century ago, the surname was actually replaced by a two-component name, where one part was a proper name, and the other was the name of the father. For example, Salavat Yulai, and his father is Yulai Aznaly. Often, particles "bin", "ibn", "uly" ("his son") were placed between the components. For a woman - "kyzy" ("his daughter").

Patronymics typical of the Russian language, ending in -ovich (evich), -ovna (evna), appeared among the Bashkirs only in the Soviet years.

Traditions of conversion

Addressing by name and patronymic as a whole is not typical for the Bashkir people. It is more common to use a special address word indicating kinship, age, and the name of a person. For example:

  • "babai", "olatai" - grandfather, grandfather;
  • "hoarfrost", "lgsey" - grandmother;
  • "apai" - aunt;
  • "agai" - uncle;
  • "neme", "myrza" - brother;
  • "elem" - sister, etc.

The younger members of the family are called simply by their first name or by their address - "tu anym" (clever girl), "akyllem" (native), etc.

For a long time, the Bashkir people considered it impolite to call someone by name, especially in the absence of this person. They talked about him either using a combination of kinship + name, or simply related to him - older brother, aunt, father-in-law, etc. Children, grandchildren for talking about parents, grandparents, simply using the names of the latter, could even be punished.

If a person communicates with someone with a name like his, then he usually calls the friend simply "aash" (namesake), without using the name. When referring to a woman, it was previously customary to use "khanum" before her name. With coming Soviet power this address changed to "iptsh" (comrade).

Also, in informal communication, there is nothing shameful if instead of a Bashkir name a person’s nickname sounds - individual, generic, family, or given to distinguish between two or more namesakes. Before the advent of Soviet power, after the name in the appeal, they always tried to mention the religious or social status person: murza, foreman, mullah, tarkhan, bek, etc.
