YUSIFGIZI, Reyhan Habibli. Linguoculturological aspect of Azerbaijani personal names. Universidad y Sociedad [online]. 2023, vol.15, n.4, pp. 166-174.  Epub Aug 10, 2023. ISSN 2218-3620.

The article deals with personal names from the standpoint of linguoculturology. It is noted that the anthroponyms of any language are the most specific part of the culture of the nation and therefore are of special interest to research. It is shown that the following factors influence the formation of the customs and traditions of the name-giving in Azerbaijan: 1) the socio-political situation in the country; 2) cultural life; 3) the worldview of the people; 4) religious views of the population; and 5) ethnographic peculiarities. In addition to enriching the vocabulary, personal names perform another important function - they help to immerse most deeply in the culture of the people to whom this layer of vocabulary belongs. In the article, it is also discussed how names of characters used in written literature, religious names, pseudonyms of historical figures, epic characters, writers and poets, mass media, Internet, as well as films, etc. play an important role in enriching the anthroponymicon. All of this was supported by specific examples, concluding that the study of Azerbaijani personal names contributes to a deeper understanding of naming traditions.

Keywords : Anthroponyms; Azerbaijani language; inguoculturology; Lintercultural communication; Name-giving process.
