Anthroponyms and their linguistic features in Karabakh folklore

Abstract

There is no nameless person in the world. Each nation has its own system of personal names. In naming, the names included in this system are used. When naming a baby, first of all, the names are based on the national background. Names are a kind of national seal of the people. A person's nationality is determined by his name. Karabakh, the land of ancient Azerbaijan, has been inhabited by Turks since BC times, and the Turks, namely the Azerbaijani Turks, created local folklore. Of course, for this reason, Turkic anthroponyms are actively used in Karabakh folklore. After the Turks accepted Islam, Arabic names were preferred. Therefore, anthroponyms of Karabakh folklore was divided by national and Arabic-Persian origin. Anthroponomy, which is a set of anthroponyms existing in the Azerbaijani language, is divided by main and auxiliary name combinations, which is also reflected in the examples of Karabakh folklore.
