The vast majority of Azerbaijani male names have Turkic, Albanian, Arabic and Persian roots. Among the names belonging to the Arabic language group, those that were once worn by the companions of the Prophet and members of their families were considered popular.

In history there is an extremely interesting fact, associated with male Azerbaijani names belonging to the Turkic language group. The ancient Turks considered it right for a person to have three names during his lifetime. The first name given at birth, as a rule, did not have special significance and used for communication purposes.

Many Azerbaijani names and surnames have such ancient roots that it is sometimes very difficult to find their origins. Traditionally, many locals name their babies after their ancestors. At the same time, be sure to add: "Let it grow in accordance with the name." Women's names in this country 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. Sounds simple and beautiful.

In general, the prefix "gul" means "rose". Therefore, it is constantly used by Azerbaijanis. Indeed, by attaching 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. Very popular among boys are such names as Rashid, Heydar, Bahadir.

How is patronymic formed?

Just like Azerbaijani surnames and given names, patronymics are formed differently here. This is their difference from Russian and other Slavic languages. In Azerbaijan, when determining the patronymic of a person, the name of his father does not change in any way. Prefixes like ours -ovich, -evich, -ovna, -evna do not exist. Rather, they exist, but they belong to the period of "Sovietization". And today they are used only in official business communication. Today, the government of Azerbaijan is trying to return the country to historical roots. So - to the 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." The name and patronymic of a person is thus composed of two names: one's own and one's father's. And the appropriate prefix is ​​added at the end. For example, a woman may be called Zivar Mammad kyzy. This literally means that the girl is Mamed's daughter. Accordingly, a man may be called Heydar Suleiman oglu. 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, whose meaning has been formed over the centuries, have been changed. Russian -ov or -ev was added to them. Up to this point, completely different endings were used here:

• -oglu;
• -zade.

After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijani surnames began to revive again in the country: female and male. This is done very simply. The ending is simply cut off from the former "Soviet" version. Thus, the former Ibrahim Gubakhanov now sounds like Ibrahim Gubakhan. The names of Azerbaijani girls are also cut off: there was Kurbanova - she 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 a particle “oglu”, “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. At ordinary people they most often became nicknames that somehow distinguished a person from other people. Last name and first name could, for example, look like this:

• Uzun Abdullah - 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, both the name of the father, and the 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 old patronymics: Safaroglu, Almaszade, Kasumbeyli, Juvarli and the like. Other families were completely "Sovietized". Therefore, today you can meet the Aliyevs, Tagievs and Mammadovs in Azerbaijan on every corner.

Azerbaijani surnames: list of the most popular

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

• Abbasov;
• Aliyev;
• Babaev;
• Veliyev;
• Gadzhiev;
• Hasanov;
• Guliyev;
• Huseynov;
• Ibragimov;
• Ismailov;
• Musaev;
• Orudzhov;
• Rasulov;
• Suleimanov;
• Mammadov.

However, for ease of reading, they are all listed here in alphabetical order. But still the most popular surname in Azerbaijan - Mammadov. It is worn by every fifth or sixth inhabitant of the country. This is not surprising.

Because Mamed is folk form Muhammad in Azerbaijani everyday life, it is clear that parents were happy to give their child the name of the beloved and revered prophet. It has become a kind of tradition. Naming the baby Mamed, they believed that they would grant him happy fate and great purpose. In addition, it was believed that Allah would not leave without the mercy of his child, named after the prophet. When surnames began to appear in Azerbaijan, the Mammadovs were the most popular. After all, it was believed that the “name of the family” would give happiness and prosperity to all future generations of one family.

Other common surnames in Azerbaijan

Of course, there are a lot of generic names in this eastern country. All of them are different and interesting. Here is another list that contains popular Azerbaijani surnames (alphabetical list):

• Abiyev;
• Agalarov;
• Alekperov;
• Amirov;
• Askerov;
• Bakhramov;
• Vagifov;
• Gambarov;
• Jafarov;
• Kasumov;
• Kerimov;
• Mehdiyev;
• Safarov;
• Taliban;
• Khanlarov.

This is far from complete 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 evolved from the adaptive form Arabic name Aliakbar. It can be divided into two parts:

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

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

Name formation

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

During the rapid development and formation of Islam in this territory, people most often preferred religious names. Thus, they confirmed their allegiance 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 displayed. Names that could be easily pronounced and written to 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, a sharp turn begins again in the formation of Azerbaijani names. The idea and the semantic load associated with deep national roots are put in the first place. It is no secret that Azerbaijani surnames changed along with the names. Their pronunciation and writing either approached Arabic or 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 the opponent.

Here is some of them:

1. Mirzag. This prefix is ​​used as a respectful address for 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 Union, the traditional "comrade" came into circulation. In Azerbaijani - yoldash. The prefix was also placed before the surname. It sounded like this: “yoldash Mehdiyev”, “yoldash Khanlarova”.
3. Kishi. This is a familiar, slightly familiar appeal. It is used in conversation by peers: Anvar kishi, Dilyaver kishi and so on.
4. Anvard. It means the same, only in relation to a woman: Nergiz avard, Lale avard.

There are a few more words-prefixes used with respect for young ladies:

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

In addition to the above, there are many more respectful prefixes formed from. Moreover, when applying, 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.
• Dinah is an uncle. Mother's brother - Agadaina.
• Baba - grandfather: Ezimbaba, Shirbaba, Atababa.
• Badjikyzy - niece. Sister's daughter - Boyuk-badzhi, Shahbadzhi and others.

Colloquial features of male and female names

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

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

Thus, from the name Kyubra, Kubush is obtained, and Valida becomes Walish. Nadir's parents name is Nadysh, and Khudayar's name is Khudu. Some diminutive forms take root so much that they eventually transform into a separate name.

AT colloquial speech quite often, names formed by a simple abbreviation are 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, Haver, Shovket. And some, depending on the gender of the person, form forms:

• Selim - Selim;
• Tofig - Tofiga;
• Farid - Farida;
• Kamil - Kamil.

Quite often among Azerbaijanis, especially the older generation, there are double names: Ali Heydar, Abbas Gulu, Aga Musa, Kurban Ali and the like.

What names did Azerbaijanis fall out of love with?

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 a grown girl, while collecting a considerable dowry. Therefore, in the old days, the names of the girls were also appropriate:

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

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

Conclusion

Therefore, when choosing it, it is worth taking into account not only the brevity and ease of pronunciation, but also the meaning hidden behind it. surnames in combination with no less euphonious names can bring joy, prosperity and a long happy life to children.

The history of the origin of Azerbaijani names

Names are always closely connected with history. Turkey and Iran had a great influence on Azerbaijan, so many words in these countries are similar. All of them have Turkic, Arabic, Persian, Albanian roots. Islam has also contributed.

In 1920, Soviet power was established in Azerbaijan, which greatly affected the local culture. Originally for Turkic names, the characters are postfixes, indicating the tribal or social affiliation of the bearer.

Starting from the 20th year, postfixes began to be removed, because some of them denoted phenomena objectionable to the Soviet authorities:

• "bek" indicates a special noble title;
• "Khan" means royal blood, belonging to the family of the ruler;
• "baba" ("bobo") denotes a person from a family of religious figures.

More harmless postfixes were also removed. For example, “ogly” (son) and “zade” (descendant), which are used to form a patronymic: Muslim-ogly is the son of Muslim, Ibrahim-zade is a descendant of Ibrahim. Moreover, the postfix "zade" was applied to high-ranking parents, representatives of the upper strata of society. For the Soviet republic, where everyone should be equal, such an elevation of some people over others was unacceptable.

After the collapse of the USSR, people again tend to return postfixes. Now they are often written not separately or with a hyphen, but together: it was - Mammad-bek, now - Mamedbek.

List of beautiful Azerbaijani names for a boy

To name a child a beautiful male name with no less wonderful meaning, you first need to decide which area of ​​\u200b\u200blife is most significant for you. Some names carry a certain character trait, others even mean geographical places, and others have religious roots.

The interpretation of names is reduced to one of the following meanings:

• the name of the geographical area (river Araz, Lake Sevan, Mount Elbrus);
• city ​​name (Tabriz);
• personal quality(Vugar - proud, Zahid - scientist, Said - happy);
• profession, vocation (Rasim is an artist, Rais is a policeman, Namig is a writer);
• bird (Shahin - falcon, Tarlan - eagle, Yunus - dove);
• divine meaning(Wahab - bestower of blessings, Yahya - the name of the prophet, Rahman - all-merciful);
• designation of a folk subgroup, tribe (Oguz, for example, a medieval Turkic tribe).

Oriental names caress the ear, like melodic music.

Hear how smooth they sound:

• Rauf - compassionate;
• Agalar - senior;
• Alpan is a brave man;
• Ariz - male warrior;
• Bakhsh - gift, gifted;
• Sanan - in love;
• Jalal - glorious faith;
• Rolan (presumably derived from the English. "Roland") - a native of a glorious country;
• Sagif (variation of the name "Said") - happy;
• Shahin - white falcon;
• Telman (a combination of the Arabic words "Tel" and "Man") - literally translated as a person living on a hilly plain;
• Vilayat is a principality.

The 20th century writer Jafar Jabbarli had an interesting influence on the trends in naming children. The names (including fictitious ones) that the author gave to the characters of his works were widely used among the people. Such a name seems to elevate the child, linking him with art from birth. These are, for example, Nasreddin, Aydin, Oktay, Sevil, Almas, Yashar, Dilber, Kodzhuk, Aslan.

Rare male names of Azerbaijani origin

The first thing that comes to mind for a new parent is fashion names which are on everyone's lips. It is not surprising that there are so many Timurs, Farkhads and Airats around: they are easily remembered. The exception is families where it is customary to name children in memory of their ancestors.

Thanks to this tradition, we can meet people whose names are:

• Ibrahim is a merciful servant;
• Javanshir - a mighty young lion;
• Mehman - guest;
• Amrullah - the will of the Lord;
• Soyalp - a native of the brave;
• Khosrow is a philanthropist.

Rare names look attractive because they make a person unique. But they also have disadvantages. If the child lives in secular society, among children different nationalities, then there is a high probability that he will be teased at school. Such a person will have communication problems all his life: it will be difficult for friends and colleagues from other cultures to pronounce his name.

As we know from historical background, names ending in "bek", "khan", "baba", "zade", "ogly" were undesirable for a long time, and therefore now they can also be classified as rare.

The most popular names and their meaning

The list of names for a boy, recognized as the most popular among Azerbaijani male names, looks like this:

1. Nariman (courageous).
2. Emin (faithful).
3. Timur (iron).
4. Ahmad (famous).
5. Farhad (understanding).
6. Ruzil (happy).
7. Naseem (organizer).
8. Rashad (prudent).
9. Amir (leader, ruler).
10. Maqsood (desired).

Many parents want to name their child after a famous person. After all, "whatever you call a ship, so it will plow the seas."

An example is taken from prominent Azerbaijanis, these are:

• Presidents Ilham Aliyev and Heydar Aliyev;
• Mayor of Baku Hajibala Abutalibov;

Therefore, many modern Azerbaijani names are the namesakes of great people.

Ancient and forgotten names

Do you want your son to stand out from his peers? At your service are the names of Mehtiaga, Molla, Mammad, Aliaga, Mirza, Firidun, Jevanshir, Nadir, Fatali, Alimardan, Abbas, Mukhammedkuli, Panah, Mashadi. Modern man they are known from the pages of history, because they belonged to famous people of the past.

Many ancient names can be found in the epos "Kitabi dede Gorgud" ("The Book of my grandfather Korkut"). Among male characters- Basat, Bamsi-Beyrek, Bayandur-khan, Salor-Kazan, Derse-khan, Bugach, Uruz, Domrul, Kan-Turali, Einek, Emran. All these are people who have accomplished various feats.

How to choose a name for a boy depending on the date of birth

Naming a child based on the date of birth is the custom of Orthodox Christians. The church calendar indicates on which day which saints are venerated: there are several options to choose from on one day. Parents are guided directly by a birthday or one of the neighboring dates. The chosen saint becomes the patron of the child.

Azerbaijanis do not have such a tradition. In families where customs are valued, a child is more likely to be named after a Muslim holiday than by date of birth, fashion or season. There is also the practice of naming in honor of grandparents.

However, you can choose something related to the time of year or weather events, for example:

• Ayaz - winter wind;
• Elgun - the sun (association with summer);
• Aly - bright, red (like autumn leaves);
• Azer is the ninth month of the solar calendar;
• Novruz is the holiday of spring.

An interesting fact: ancient people understood that it was difficult to name a baby for life at once, because his character is still unknown. Therefore, at first they gave a temporary name, and later - a permanent one.
