Abstract:
This study examines the origin and historical development of anthroponyms in the Kazakh and Turkish languages. Drawing on 21 academic
sources, including books, peer-reviewed articles, and conference papers, it aims to detect similarities and differences in the evolution of
anthroponyms and their use in contemporary linguistic contexts. The
analysis revealed a lack of specific studies on the morphological structure
of anthroponyms in both Kazakh and Turkish. The study confirmed the
significance of general onomastics and anthroponymy in understanding
the morphological structure of anthroponyms in these languages and
highlighted ongoing disagreements on the role of the Turkic linguistic
basis in their emergence and development. The obtained results can be
used in the teaching of Kazakh and Turkish in academic settings and can
also support efforts to preserve cultural heritage.
