The Historical and Cultural Traditions that Influenced the Establishment and Evolution of the Anthroponymic System in the Contemporary Karakalpak Language

Abstract

This study explores the anthropogenic system of the contemporary Karakalpak language, focusing on personal names and surnames. Through a comprehensive analysis spanning from historical-linguistic to statistical and sociolinguistic assessments, it examines the evolution and structural dynamics of Karakalpak anthroponymy. Drawing on a wide range of sources including historical archives and ethnographic data, the research categorizes and interprets the lexico-semantic and word-formation characteristics of Karakalpak names within the broader context of Turkic anthroponymy. The findings highlight the cultural and linguistic influences shaping Karakalpak naming practices amidst socio-political changes in Karakalpakstan.
