| Abstract: | The paper refers to anthroponymy, which is a branch of onomastics. Just as other onomastic units in Azerbaijani, first names and surnames reflect people’s history and their mental outlook. However, name models in main anthroponymic categories are not the same across various nations. Anthroponyms have always played an important role in the history of all nations. In any language they may be, personal names may be indicative of people’s mother tongue, history, ethnography and psychology, as well as national etiquette. Anthroponyms that help people to communicate and talk to each other about someone else reflect social and linguistic features. Semantics is becoming better defined in Azerbaijani, so that modern Azerbaijani has got a rich anthroponymic stock. Today there is a common system of personal names in Azerbaijani, which vary in form and meaning. Ancient names are compared to present-day names on the basis of facts. This paper investigates surnames that became traditional for the Azerbaijani people in the 19th century. The development of surnames during democracy is presented and illustrated with anthroponymic examples. |
