LİNGUİSTİC ANALYSİS OF HUNNİC PERSONAL AND TRİBAL NAMES USED İN GREEK SOURCES

Abstract

Anthroponyms mentioned in Greek sources provide solid facts to clarify the complex issues of our history, language, and national-moral values. Because the personal names of Turkic origin, which are reflected in Greek sources, have preserved their nationality from the distant past to the present. Personal names of Turkic origin were mentioned in Greek sources in accordance with the phonetic and grammatical rules of the ancient language. From the conducted research, it becomes clear that the majority of Hun personal names used in Greek sources are of Turkic origin and this ethnos played an important role in the formation of the
ethnogenesis of our people.
