Kazakh names include names not only of Turkic origin, but also borrowed names, which are used along with native names. According to their type of origin, Kazakh names are divided into several groups.
Turkic namesTurkic names have a close connection with the outside world, so most of the names are related to the way of life of the Turks, nature, but also, of course, to the wishes of the best for their children. So, when naming their children, girls were often given names containing part of the name "gul" - "flower", "zhan" ("dan") - "soul", "dil" - "beautiful", "nur" - light, etc. .d. At the same time, the Kazakhs considered the Moon to be the most beautiful luminary, so there are a lot of female names containing the part of the name “ai”, which means “moon”, “lunar”, “month” (Ainur, Aigul, Aidana, Aisulu, Aiza, Aina, Aigerim and etc.).
Wish-names are widespread among the Kazakhs and other Turkic peoples. Naming a child with a similar name, parents want to mark his fate (Bulat - "powerful", "indestructible", Tamerlane (Timur) - "iron", "unshakable", "strong", Ilgiz - "traveler", Mergen - "skillful hunter" , Ural - "joy, pleasure", Khadia - "gift").
One-component Turkic names most often have a direct translation (Koyash - "sun", Arman - "dream", Chulpan - the planet Venus, Kanat - "wing"). Also, the same name can be worn by both a girl and a boy.
Some Turkic names have a temporary meaning, indicate the time of birth or the date (Silker - "born in May", Aytugan - "born at the beginning of the month", Aidolay - "born on the full moon", Kutken - "long-awaited", Zamam - "time , era", Buran - "was born during a snowstorm, snowstorm"). But, like most names in the world, the most ancient names are associated with the outside world - animals and plants (Khulun - "foal", Ortek - "duck", Milyausha - "violet", Nymyrt - "bird cherry"). These names, according to the Kazakhs, should have reflected the distinctive features of these animals - their cunning, speed, courage, intelligence, etc.
The next part of the Turkic names denotes various decorations, most often these are female names, but there are also male ones (Diamond - "diamond", Yzyrga - "earring", Ainagul - "mirror flower").
Often two-part male Kazakh names of Turkic origin end in "-bek" ("-bik"), "-bay", "-khan" (Arabic analogue). This part of the name means “lord”, “bek”, “khan”, “ruler” (Bikbulat - “iron bek”, Bikbay - “very rich”, Alikhan - “great khan”).
At present, a large number of names in the Caucasus have been formed from the Turkic language, which have become part of the language of many peoples (Tatar, Uzbek, Ossetian, Kyrgyz, Altai, Khakass and many others). Many names have become the basis of surnames.
Religious borrowingsAlso, some of the Kazakh names are borrowed from the religions with which the Kazakhs have historically contacted. These are names from Islam, Christianity, Judaism, which have been slightly changed in pronunciation. Mariam, Mariam - Mary, Isa - Jesus Christ, Musa - Moses, Israel - Israel, Zhusup - Yusuf (Joseph), Zhakup - Yakub (Jacob), Sarah (Zara, Shara) - Sarah, Yahya - John, Ilyas - Elijah, Khaua - Eve, Suleiman - Solomon, Dauyt (Davut) - David, Yskak - Isaac, Zhabrail - Gabriel, Ibrahim (Ibrahim) - Abraham. These are just the most basic names borrowed from the Abrahamic religions.
Arabic borrowingsFrom the Arabs, the Kazakhs borrowed names related to faith, history, reflecting moral values and personality traits. This is how the names Zhangali - "brave like Ali", Amanzhol - "the path of salvation", Kamil - "perfect", Mansur - "winner", Omar - "long-liver", Hakim - "wise", Kadyr - "venerable" appeared.
The name of the Muslim prophet - Muhammad - in the Kazakh language has different interpretations - Mahmed, Mukhamed, Mambet, Makhambet, etc. Arabic female names are widespread (Aisha, Alfiya, Dinara, Fatima, Saida, Nabat, Zakiya, Zarina and others).
From many long Arabic names, short names appeared in the Kazakh language - Abish, Kulyash, Saken.
Soviet and Russian borrowingNames that are of Russian and European origin are also present in the Kazakh language. They basically did not undergo any obvious changes either in spelling or in pronunciation. Examples of such names can be the names Valentina, Raisa, Svetlana, Marat, Edward, Sergey, Rimma, Arthur, Boris, Maxim, Clara, Albina, Nikolai, Elvira, Indira, Sabina, Tamara, Tamila and others.
In Soviet times, neologisms appeared among Kazakh names, which later either disappeared from the language or changed their meaning. So among the Kazakhs there were the names of Kim, Kim, May, Damir, October, Oktyabrina, Mira, Dina, Zarema, Karina, Lenura, Lina, Rema, Renata, Ural, Chara, Emil, Berlin, Washington, Marlene, Mels, Council and many other.
The traditional pronunciation and spelling of some female Kazakh names is also possible with the addition of vowels “-a” and “-ya” at the end of the name. So, for example, the name Gulnar, traditionally sounding without a softening vowel, began to be pronounced both as Gulnara, and also with the addition of a softening of the first part of the word - Gulnar, Gulnara. The names Asel and Aigul - Asel and Aigul and also many other names.

Among other popular names, there were also the names Yersultan, Artem, Amir, Miras, Sanzhar, Nurasyl, Dias, Arsen - male, and Ayana, Inzhu, Aisha, Kausar, Amina, Aruzhan, Diana, Milana - female names.

Conclusion
Kazakh parents, like parents of other nationalities, care about the name with which their born son "will go through life." Therefore, even before the birth of a child, a suitable name for the boy is selected. And we introduced you to the Kazakh modern names that are relevant today.
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive influence on the character, aura and fate of a person. It actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and state, improves health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how do you pick the perfect name?
Despite the fact that there are interpretations in culture of what male names mean, in reality, the influence of the name on each boy is individual.
Sometimes parents try to choose a name before birth, making it difficult for the baby to form. Astrology and numerology of choosing a name have squandered all serious knowledge about the influence of a name on fate through the ages.
Calendars of Christmas time, holy people, without consulting a seeing, perspicacious specialist, do not provide any real help in assessing the influence of names on the fate of a child.
And the lists of ... popular, happy, beautiful, melodious male names completely turn a blind eye to the individuality, energy, soul of the child and turn the selection procedure into an irresponsible game of parents in fashion, selfishness and ignorance.
Beautiful and modern Kazakh names should first of all suit the child, and not the relative external criteria of beauty and fashion. Who don't care about your child's life.
Various characteristics according to statistics - positive features of the name, negative features of the name, choice of profession by name, the impact of the name on business, the impact of the name on health, the psychology of the name can only be considered in the context of a deep analysis of subtle plans (karma), energy structure, life tasks and kind of a particular child.
The theme of the compatibility of names (and not the characters of people) is an absurdity that turns inside out on the interactions of different people the internal mechanisms of the influence of a name on the state of its carrier. And it cancels the entire psyche, the unconscious, energy and behavior of people. It reduces the entire multidimensionality of human interaction to one false characteristic.
The meaning of the name has no literal effect. For example, Vazha (courageous, knight) does not mean that the young man will be strong, and the bearers of other names will be weak. The name can weaken his health, block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, it will help another boy to solve problems for love or power, it will greatly facilitate life and achieve goals. The third boy may not bring any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.
The most popular Kazakh names for boys are also a delusion. 95% of boys are called names that do not make life easier. You can only focus on the innate character of the child, spiritual vision and the wisdom of an experienced specialist.
The secret of a male name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed by a special bouquet, primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys the child, then there would be no beautiful, melodious with a patronymic, astrological, blissful, it would still be harm, destruction of character, complication of life and aggravation of fate.
Below is a list of Kazakh names. Try to choose a few, the most suitable in your opinion for the child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the impact of the name on fate, .

In the modern world, there are more than 10 thousand Kazakh names, and all of them have their own origin, sources from which they spread. The lion's share of male and female Kazakh names has Muslim roots. They started from the Turkic, Arabic, Persian, Mongolian dialects. But there are also Kazakh names of girls and boys that have come into use from the Russian language. For Kazakhs, naming a child is not only an important process, it is also a certain ritual. Since ancient times, they have been confident that female and male Kazakh names are not only a name, but also prophesy the future fate of its bearer. Therefore, they tried to include positive character traits, virtue, beauty, responsibility, courage, etc. in the name. This is how they wanted to see their boys and girls in the future.
Kazakh ritual dedicated to choosing a name
An old ritual, preserved in modern times, was carried out by the elders of the family on the fortieth day after the birth of the baby. At first, a blessed prayer was performed, the result of which was the male or female Kazakh names received from the Almighty, depending on what gender the child was to be named. Then a council was held taking into account all opinions, after which they agreed on one of the proposed names.
The chosen name was included in the prayer that the elder recited. Everything happened according to this scheme, the reader had to lean towards the baby in the process of praying and say to the newborn in his ear his future name. Thus, Kazakh names for boys and girls with a semantic history were put into the children's ears, and they, in turn, had to subconsciously catch them and correspond in the subsequent name, which was predetermined by their family and fate.
What Kazakhs are guided by when choosing
Choosing female Kazakh names, parents want to reward their girl with such virtues as beauty, chastity, kindness, etc. So, for example, Bagila should always be faithful, Badiga - a beautiful written beauty, Gaukhar - a diamond, Dara - special, etc. Often naming girls, Kazakhs compare them with something, Balganym is pleasant, sweet as honey, Balgul is a honey flower, Gulbarshyn is like a beautiful flower, Daria is a big river, Dilda is gold, etc.
Choosing male Kazakh names, parents try to instill responsibility, courage, aspiration, will, courage and many other strong qualities in their baby.
Named Gabbas, he must become strict and stern, Dildar - bold, courageous, caring, compassionate. If the parents want their boy to become a religious person or devote himself to service, they are called accordingly (Gabiden - a servant of religion, Gabidullah - a servant of Allah, Zayniddin - perfecting religion, Magzum - kept by God, etc.).
They call Kazakh boys and compare them with animals (lion, wolf, falcon) or with natural phenomena (moon, dawn, hurricane). Kyran means the golden eagle, Diaz means the sun, etc. And also, predicting a certain appearance for them. Diasyl - sun-like, sublime, Didar - beautiful in appearance, Kurmet - respected, revered, etc. Rare female and male Kazakh names are also called by parents who want to stand out from the general mass of used names (Assine, Aryan, Ayup, Abrar, Alibi, Andir, Bekarys, Bifatima, Batyrsagyz, Batyrlan, Danat, Dimnura, Yesenia, Edyge, Yerzhebet, Zauzamira, Kamarsului, etc.).
If there is a famous or revered person in the family, a child can be named after her example. It is believed that the combination of all positive characteristics will pass from the ancestor to the new bearer of his name.
