Azerbaijani names for boys and their meaning

Recently learned that the young man has Azerbaijani roots. It was free time, for the sake of laughter decided to find out what it means his obviously non-Slavic name. In the process, I found the meanings and other names, and when I got acquainted with his relatives, they talked a lot about the Azerbaijani names in general, their origin.

How did Azerbaijani names appear

Some of the currently used in Azerbaijan appeared before our era, when his land was occupied by the Caucasian Albania. Azerbaijani male names have a huge amount, they were borrowed from other languages, cultures and redone on their own ways:

• Turkic roots imply belonging to the Turkic language group, which played a role in the appearance of names such as Inal and Aslan.
• Arab roots. Wide distribution received names associated with Islam (after the adoption of religion in the state). Being borrowed from Arabic and Persian languages, they have religious importance and are often associated with the prophet and members of his family.
• Geographical names. Azerbaijanis gave names on the names of geographic objects: cities, rivers, lakes, if they were quite harmful.
• Characters and celebrities. Characters of fairy tales and books often moved from paper into life - their names were worn by children. The baby could be called in honor of the famous figure or a respected relative.
• Soviet roots. Soviet construction and related slogans imposed a mark on different areas of public life. During this period, the names of the Council, the SOVOZ and the tractor appeared in the country. Now it seems incredible that people called so children, but those names corresponded to the "spirit of time". During this period, the endings of the traditional male names were disappeared -Han and -Bek.

Azerbaijani Full name: Features of use

Three names. Peoples inhabiting the territory of modern Azerbaijan in antiquity replaced by 3 name: the first was given at birth to somehow distinguish the baby from others, the second was given in the adolescence age around the nature and actions of the child, and the third person received in old age in the end of the lived life.

FULL NAME. The traditional designations of a person in the form of a surname, name and patronymic were not always in this sunny country. The names were shifted to this list in the twentieth century, and before that men and women were called only by name and patronymic.

This is the most patronymic of ourselves on our "Ivanovich, Fedorovich" - in Azerbaijanis after the name of the boy indicates who his father, with the help of the word "oglu": Aslan Teymur Ogly. This phrase means that Aslan is kissing Teimura.

In the female version, the meaning of the word "Kyza" is used: Reichan Ibrahim Kyzy.

Appeals. Previously, when applying to a respected, educated people was added to the word "Mirzag", which served as an indicator of a respectful attitude towards a person, but in modern Azerbaijan did not do that. Lost the use of appeals like Pasha, Vezir, etc. - They remain in use as Azerbaijani names for boys.

Values ​​of names

At birth, a person gets a name under which life lives. The pagans believed that the names influence the fate of a person, give it to certain qualities and features, and therefore they sought to give a child such a name so that his life would be safely.

It is not by chance that in Azerbaijan there is a tradition to congratulate parents with adding in the family of the phrase: "Let the child correspond to the name".
