Consonant Anthroponyms
Аннотация
This article discusses names that are close in form and pronunciation, as well as names from the national language fund that can appear in a similar manner. Similar names are selected from the available material. In addition, names that generate similarity exist in the anthroponymy system as “similar names,” a phenomenon that arises during the process of naming an infant. This phenomenon is not a mandatory feature, nor is it always a required linguistic regularity or obligation. Names that produce similarity are not created with the intention that they should always be used in a similar form. This is connected to the family traditions of the name-givers (nominators) during the naming of the child. The article also analyzes the role of names that create similarity in linguistic anthroponymy, the group of similar names, the desires and searches of those who name children belonging to the same family or one lineage-generation, and the creation of broad meaning. Furthermore, the very essence of assigning similar names to a child is revealed through sociolinguistic and ethnographic issues. The linguistic criterion serving the similarity of anthroponyms – the form of the names and, accordingly, their similarity in pronunciation, full or partial rhyming – is extensively explored. The causes and needs for naming children with similar names have been analyzed extensively and deeply based on materials from the anthroponymy of Turkic languages.
