Azerbaijani names for boys. Azerbaijani surnames and names, their meaning

Azerbaijani is included in This also includes Turkish, Tatar, Kazakh, Bashkir, Uyghur and many others. That is why many Azerbaijani surnames and names have eastern roots. In addition, the Persian and arab culture, as well as Islam. Therefore, some common Azerbaijani surnames have been known since ancient times. They are actively used to this day. Today, the anthroponymic model among Azerbaijanis, in fact like many other peoples of the East, has three components: last name, first name and patronymic.

Names

Many Azerbaijani names and surnames have such ancient roots that it is sometimes very difficult to find their origins. According to tradition, many local residents They name their babies after their ancestors. At the same time, be sure to add: “Let it grow in accordance with the name.” Female names in this country they are most often associated with the concepts of beauty, tenderness, kindness and sophistication. It is very popular to use “floral motifs”: Lale, Yasemen, Nergiz, Reyhan, Gyzylgul and others. It sounds simple and beautiful.

In general, the prefix “gul” means “rose”. Therefore, it is constantly used by Azerbaijanis. After all, by adding this particle to almost any name, you can get something new, surprisingly beautiful and unusual. For example, Gulnisa, Gulshen, Naryngul, Sarygul, Gulperi and others. Male names emphasize courage, unbending will, determination, bravery and other character traits inherent in the stronger sex. Names such as Rashid, Heydar, Bahadir are very popular among boys.

How is a patronymic formed?

Just like Azerbaijani surnames and names, patronymics are formed differently here. This is their difference from Russian and other Slavic languages. In Azerbaijan, when determining a person’s patronymic, the name of his father does not change in any way. Prefixes like ours -ovich, -evich, -ovna, -evna do not exist. Or rather, they exist, but they belong to the period of “Sovietization”. And today they are used only when official business communication. These days, the Azerbaijani government is trying to return the country to historical roots. So - to traditional names and patronymics. And it is right.

Despite this, patronymics among Azerbaijanis also have two forms:

  • ogly;
  • kyzy.

The first means "son" and the second means "daughter". A person’s name and patronymic are thus made up of two names: his own and his father’s. And at the end the corresponding prefix is ​​added. For example, a woman’s name may be Zivyar Mamed kyzy. This literally means that the girl is Mamed's daughter. Accordingly, the man’s name may be Heydar Suleiman ogly. It is clear that the guy is the son of Suleiman.

Surnames: principles of formation

After coming to these places Soviet power, many residents also changed their last names. Azerbaijani ones, the meaning of which has been formed over centuries, have been changed. Russian -ov or -ev was added to them. Until this moment, completely different endings were in use:

  • -oglu;
  • -zade.

After the breakup Soviet Union Azerbaijani surnames, female and male, began to revive again in the country. This is done very simply. The ending is simply cut off from the former “Soviet” version. Thus, the former Ibragim Gubakhanov now sounds like Ibragim Gubakhan. Last names are also truncated. Azerbaijani girls: there was Kurbanova - became Kurban.

Origin of surnames

Simply put, surnames for Azerbaijanis are a relatively recent phenomenon. In the old days, the anthroponymic format of this people consisted of only two parts. We are talking about a proper and paternal name with the addition of the particle “ogly”, “kyzy” or “zade”. This form was considered the norm here back in the 19th century. And in Iranian Azerbaijan it is often used today. They left the tradition here.

Oddly enough, Azerbaijani surnames began to form under the influence of Russian culture. U ordinary people They most often became nicknames that somehow distinguished a person from other people. The last name and first name could, for example, look like this:

  • Uzun Abdullah is a long Abdullah.
  • Kechal Rashid is a bald Rashid.
  • Cholag Almas - lame Almas.
  • Bilge Oktay - wise Oktay and others.

With the advent of Soviet power, Azerbaijani surnames (male and female) began to change. Moreover, the name of the father, grandfather or other relatives could be taken as a basis. That is why today in Azerbaijan there are quite a lot of surnames reminiscent of ancient patronymics: Safaroglu, Almaszade, Kasumbeyli, Juvarly and the like. Other families were completely “Sovietized.” Therefore, today you can meet the Aliyevs, Tagiyevs and Mamedovs in Azerbaijan on every corner.

Azerbaijani surnames: list of the most popular

If you do not take into account the difference in endings, you can make a small list of only 15 positions. The list is quite small. Despite this, according to experts, these fifteen surnames account for about 80% of the country’s residents:

  • Abbasov;
  • Aliyev;
  • Babaev;
  • Veliev;
  • Gadzhiev;
  • Hasanov;
  • Guliev;
  • Huseynov;
  • Ibragimov;
  • Ismailov;
  • Musaev;
  • Orujov;
  • Rasulov;
  • Suleymanov;
  • Mamedov.

Although for ease of reading they are all arranged here in alphabetical order. But still the most popular surname in Azerbaijan - Mamedov. Every fifth or sixth resident of the country wears it. This is not surprising.

Since Mamed is folk form Muhammad in Azerbaijani usage, it is clear that parents were happy to give their child the name of the beloved and revered prophet. This has become a kind of tradition. By naming the baby Mamed, they believed that they would grant him a happy destiny and a great destiny. In addition, it was believed that Allah would not leave without mercy a child named after the prophet. When surnames began to appear in Azerbaijan, the Mamedovs were the most popular. After all, it was believed that the “family name” would bestow happiness and prosperity on all future generations of one family.

Other common surnames in Azerbaijan

Of course, family names in this eastern country so many. They are all different and interesting. Here is another list that contains popular Azerbaijani surnames (list in alphabetical order):

  • Gambarov;
  • Jafarov;
  • Kasumov;
  • Kerimov;
  • Mehdiev;
  • Safarov;
  • Taliban;
  • Khanlarov.

This is far from full list, but only a small fraction of it. Of course, all Azerbaijani surnames, male and female, have their own meaning. Sometimes very interesting and beautiful. For example, the surname Alekperov is very popular here. It came from an adaptive form Arabic name Aliakbar. It can be divided into two parts:

  • Ali - great;
  • Akbar is the eldest, the greatest, the greatest.

Thus Alekperov is “the eldest (chief) of the greats.” One way or another, the basis of almost all Azerbaijani surnames is still the names of their ancestors. That is why the next part of this article is devoted to an analysis and description of their origin and meaning.

Name formation

This process in Azerbaijan can be divided into several stages. In ancient times, locals had at least three names throughout their lives. All of them could be radically different from each other. The first one is for children. It was given to the child by the parents at birth. It only served to distinguish him from other children. The second is adolescence. Given to a teenager by fellow villagers depending on character traits, mental qualities or external features. The third name is the one that a person earned in old age independently, through his deeds, judgments, actions and his entire life.

During the times of rapid development and establishment of Islam in this territory, people most often gave preference religious names. Thus, they confirmed their devotion to the Islamic movement. Mamed, Mamish, Ali, Omar, Fatma, Khadije and others became popular. Most of The names were still of Arabic origin. When communism came to these lands, loyalty to the ideals of the party and the dominant ideology began to be put on display. Names that could easily be pronounced and written by a Russian person became popular. And some, especially zealous parents, began to give their children completely strange ones: State Farm, Tractor and the like.

With the collapse of the Union and gaining independence, the formation of Azerbaijani names again begins sharp turn. The idea and semantic load associated with deep national roots are put in first place. It is no secret that along with names, Azerbaijani surnames also changed. Their pronunciation and writing either approached Arabic or became completely Russified.

Features of the use of names

In the Azerbaijani language, names are most often pronounced not just like that, but with the addition of some additional word. Often it expresses a respectful or familiar attitude towards an opponent.

Here are some of them:

  1. Mirzag. This prefix is ​​used as a respectful address to scientists or simply very smart and educated people. It sounds like “Mirzag Ali” or “Mirzag Isfandiyar”. Today the prefix has practically disappeared from circulation.
  2. Yoldash. During the Soviet Union, the traditional “comrade” came into circulation. In Azerbaijani - yoldash. The prefix was also located in front of the surname. It sounded like this: “Yoldash Mehdiev”, “Yoldash Khanlarova”.
  3. Kishi. This is a familiar, slightly familiar address. It is used in conversation by peers: Anvar kishi, Dilyaver kishi, and so on.
  4. Anvard. Means the same thing, only in relation to a woman: Nergiz avard, Lale avard.

There are several more prefix words used when treating young ladies with respect:

  • hanim - venerable;
  • khanymgyz - respected girl (for young people);
  • baji—sister;
  • gelin - bride.

In addition to those listed above, there are many more respectful prefixes formed from Moreover, when addressing, it is not at all necessary that people are actually relatives. There are so many such prefixes that sometimes they become part of the name:

  • Bibi is an aunt. Father's sister - Agabibi, Injibibi.
  • Amy is an uncle. Father's brother - Balaemi.
  • Dainy's uncle. Mother's brother - Agadain.

  • Badzhikyzy - niece. Sister's daughter - Boyuk-baji, Shahbaji and others.

As in the Russian language, Azerbaijani names also have diminutive variants. They are formed by adding affixes:

  • -у(-у);
  • -s(-s);
  • -ish(-ish);
  • -ush (-yush).

Thus, from the name Kübra, Kübush is obtained, and Valida becomes Valish. Nadir's parents call Nadysh, and Khudayar's is Khuda. Some diminutive forms take root so much that over time they transform into a separate name.

IN colloquial speech names formed by a simple abbreviation are quite often used:

  • Surya - Sura;
  • Farida - Farah;
  • Rafiga - Rafa;
  • Aliya - Alya and so on.

There are names suitable for both men and women at the same time: Shirin, Izzet, Khaver, Shovket. And some, depending on the gender of the person, form the following forms:

As you know, a daughter in the East is not always a welcome phenomenon. Especially if it’s the fourth or fifth in a row. Parents will have to marry off a grown girl, collecting a considerable dowry at the same time. Therefore, in the old days, girls also had appropriate names:

  • Kifayat - enough;
  • Gyztamam - enough daughters;
  • Bestie - that's enough;
  • Gyzgayit - the girl has returned.

Over time, the problem of dowry ceased to be so acute. Accordingly, the names also changed. Now they mean “dream”, “beloved” and “joyful”. And the old ones, not too positive and beautiful, are practically not used today.

During the Soviet Union, many names came from neighboring republics, such as David, Benjamin, Ruslan, etc. However, after the collapse of the USSR, they stopped calling children by such names.

It is very important for parents to give suitable name to your baby. That is why Azerbaijani parents, as soon as they learn about a new addition to the family, begin to choose a name for their baby.

Those with the name Azer, as a rule, turn out to be trendsetters for a narrow circle. You belong to a rather thin layer of society, whose representatives, regardless of age and social status, claim that they can “afford not to follow fashion.” The way it is. You carefully monitor how your body itself looks, take care of it tirelessly, thanks to which you have the opportunity to change your style at least every day depending on your own mood. That is why you give the impression of youth for quite a long time, each time appearing in a new look, which allows you to influence the tastes of others.

Compatibility of the name Azer, manifestation in love

Azer, your self-sufficiency makes you a person for whom love is not a “life necessity.” You are extremely picky in any connections, be it friendship or closer relationships. In both cases, the partner must meet your ideal criteria absolutely, otherwise you can easily do without him. But if you still find a person who fits the “bar” you set, then you surrender to the feeling completely, selflessly and recklessly, which can be a pleasant surprise for your partner, misled by your external closeness and aloofness.

Motivation

You are a “closed” person. All aspirations and desires are focused on one’s own personality. Therefore, when making any decision, you tend to choose what will most contribute to your growth and improvement. And each such choice increases the distance between you and the world around you.

Over time, this “shell” becomes thicker, and the possibility of “coming out” becomes more and more unrealistic. But even the strongest shell may one day fail to withstand external pressure and burst. And then, despite all your outstanding abilities, you will find yourself defenseless, like a newly hatched chick.

Neither intelligence nor theoretical knowledge, no matter how significant, can replace the ability to communicate with people, the skill of “interpenetration”, without which life is impossible.

Try to learn to view your individual qualities not as a product that can be “sold”, but as a tool for working in a team. Self-respect, of course, is “worth a lot,” but the affection of others is not a trifle.



There is a great variety of Azerbaijani male names (approximately 15,340), which indicates that the ancestors of the people had good imagination. At the very beginning of its development, humanity did not puzzle over what name to give to a newborn. The child was named after what surrounded him.

Another method of selection was to ensure that the chosen name served as a talisman against failure and evil forces.

Characteristics of nationality

Any name must have a direct connection with nationality. Having received it, the child identifies himself with the history and character of his people. There are also names of international origin. They are received by children born in a mixed marriage, which means that they have a choice of which nationality they will identify themselves with in the future. People with such names easily feel like “citizens of the world.”

Historical roots of the name

Each name carries within itself a certain image or character. When a child begins to learn the history of his homeland, nation, or reads books where he meets his namesakes, he involuntarily begins to ask himself questions: “What contribution did they make to the history of the people?”; “What actions do you remember?”; “What kind of character and willpower did they have?” And when he finds similarities with himself in them, it gives him great support. The child understands that he, too, can be as smart, brave and kind as his historical namesake.

Azerbaijani male names mainly originate from Turkic language. And the formation of new ones was influenced by Persian culture. For example, in Azerbaijan the name Aslan is very common, which means “lion”.

He reacts to criticism from people in two ways: either he listens with pride, or he reacts sharply and sometimes uses obscene words.

Anar

The owner of such a name must always dominate in everything, and this does not depend on the situation in which he finds himself. He is not afraid of people who are stronger than him physically and spiritually.

If the partner takes care of him, and the care should be more reminiscent of servility, then in return she will receive admiration and gratitude from Anar. Often prone to irritability over small things. If the companion is able to withstand his character with fortitude, then he will do everything to make their union long-lasting and harmonious.

His character is very contradictory. He may find a worthy goal, but he will not conquer it. He likes to lead this process. Sometimes he stays away from the glory and is ready to give all the trophies to someone else.

He is always sincere and honest. But sometimes his straightforwardness is expressed in a very rude form. If his subordinates often make mistakes, then they cannot avoid the explosive reaction of his boss Anar. But after he cools down, he will not leave the feeling of guilt.
