Abstract: Outlook, the traditions, beliefs, household way, cliff a written heritage
medieval Kipchak are a most valuable source for the definition of etymology many
anthroponyms of modern Kazakh language. Therefore, the basic purpose of the given
project is the decision of problems, anthroponymy, ethnoponyms, and Kazakh
onomastics by means of definition of etymologies of system old Kipchak of language.
The idea of cultural and language continuity old Kipchak of the names in Kazakh
onomastics to the system now is urgent. The proof of deep historical continuity of
language ethnomis increases the importance of the put forward project. In this
connection expansion of representations about Kipchak of middle ages by comparative
researches of laws of development Kipchak and modern Turkic of languages requires
the weighed approach to a century history of the Kazakh language.
In research work, the historical methods, and also scientific induction and deduction
used in etymological researches are applied history-etymological analysis and
comparatively. The definition of the etymology of ancient Kipchak anthroponyms and
ethnoponyms is a key to a solution of a history ethnos of the language of medieval
Kazakhstan, that in turn helps to decide some questions ethnology and Turkic. The
study of the etymology of ancient Kipchak of names and names ethnos will help to
define the language attitudes between medieval Kipchak, ethnogenesis of
communication (connection) with the modern Kazakhs, will enable of the restoration
of historical continuity.

Keywords: etymology, Kipchak language, Turkic languages, anthroponymy.

1 Introduction

The outlook, traditions, beliefs, household way, the petroglyphic
written heritage of medieval Kipchak are the most valuable
source for the definition of the etymology of many
anthroponyms of modern Kazakh language. In this article, we
raise a question of the solution of the problems concerning
anthroponym, ethnonyms, and ethnotoponyms of the Kazakh
onomastics by means of definition of the etymology of
onomastics system of old Kipchak language.

Now the idea of cultural and language continuity old Kipchak
names in the Kazakh onomastic system is actual and proving
deep historical continuity of language ethnogenetics, we think
that came to expand time of representation about the Kipchak of
the Middle Ages as comparative researches of regularities of
development of Kipchak and modern Turkic languages demand
the weighed approach to century history of the Kazakh language.

During the research, anthroponyms, ethnonyms, and
ethnotoponym are at the forefront, it is necessary to set the
historical and Etymology analysis and comparative - historical
methods, as well as scientific induction and deduction,
traditionally used in the etymological research. Determination of
the etymology of the ancient Kipchak anthroponyms and
ethnonyms is the key to unraveling the history of ethnogenesis
language of medieval Kazakhstan, which in turn helps to solve
some of the issues of Ethnology and Turkic. Historical and
comparative research approach of the language of medieval
Kipchak written monuments and studying the etymology of old
Kipchak names and names of ethnic groups will help to
determine the linguistic relations between the medieval Kipchaks
and ethnogenetic connection with modern Kazakhs and will give
an opportunity to recover the historical continuity.

At the same time at research of anthroponym of old Kipchak
language is the main attention should be paid to the review of
history of research of anthroponym of old Kipchak language
where it is necessary to enter comparison of model types of
anthroponym of East Desht-i-Kipchak and the Polovtsian names,
the names which developed on the basis of ethnonyms,
nicknames, and names of totems, thus showing that
anthroponym of Polovets were closely connected with their title,
the related, political, social, economic relations by clarification

of their etymology and at the same time proving that the revealed
of ancient Kipchaks anthroponyms were a basis of formation of
the Kazakh names. Thus, demonstrating that Polovtsian
anthroponomy were closely related to their title and relative,
political, social, economic relationships by clarifying their
etymology and at the same time proving that identified old
Kipchak anthroponyms were the basis of the formation of the
Kazakh names. Here it is important to note that, the elucidation
of the formation ways of ethnonyms and nicknames of old
Kipchak language by the division of Polovtsian names on
lexical-semantic groups, based on scientific studies about
language sources should be made on the verbal basis - the main
grammatical difference between these anthroponyms from
names of other Turkic languages.

2 Materials and Methods

The etymology of the Kumano-Polovtsian anthroponyms was
thoroughly studied by the Soviet Türkologists, while the topic
about names of the East Dasht-i-Kipchak still not affected.
Therefore, the penetration of the social basis of personal names,
the study of linguistic roots of Kipchak names of East Dasht-i-
Kipchak and medieval Khorezm state is today’s actual problem
and has an acute need for research.

Inadequate study of ancient monuments of our people has led to
a merger with the “newly created written” people and it became
a historical fact. The root cause of this situation was the union
ideology, the political purpose to repayment the national
identity.

Hostage of this ideology is a generation who, deeply indifferent
with their history and culture. This indifference bitterly noted
Nursultan Nazarbayev, (1) “The influence of alien ethnic
cultures has led to the marginalization of some of our Kazakh
people, who have absolutely no idea of their true history.”

It is impossible to plan the future, without researching the past
history of the nation. The history of the nation is not only in the
cultural material sources, but also extant national, cultural and
spiritual terminology of that period, which have been preserved
in the language sources. In this regard, the history of the
appearance of Old Kipchak language anthroponyms, which are
comprehensively considered in the onomastic and etymological
aspect, in comparison with the Kazakh language, makes it
possible to draw conclusions about the origin of many personal
names and ethnonyms, where the roots of them lie on the names
of totems. Ethnicity, who was the head of state and called Turkic

Khanate, as part of the Middle Ages Kipchaks were called “borі

totemdі Taipa” or “elborі” and reached predominating tribe. (2)

The results of this huge work will help to solve a number of
problems of the ethnogenesis of the medieval history of
Kazakhstan, which in turn play a role in Ethnology and Turkic
studies. They can also be used for reading special courses on
general onomastics and etymology, lectures, in the preparation
of anthropological and etymological dictionaries and textbooks.

There is no doubt that today’s subject of increased interest in
national and world history is the formation of Turkic personal
names. Also, their definition will be a significant contribution to
the Turkic onomastics. It is not a secret that, up to this day
studies on personal names were the prerogative of foreign
scientists. However, from the point of view of understanding of
national features, traditions, language problems ideas of Turkic
language carrier scientists, undoubtedly, more conclusive, since
they are based on the scientifically accepted undeniable fact that
exactly the Kazakh nation is the spiritual heir and linguistic
Kipchaks who lived in the Middle Ages.

Before defining the historical roots of Old Kipchak names
origin, take a look at the research historiography. The first
“pioneer” in this list became Dictionary M. Kashgari “Diuani
lugat-at-Turk”. In this dictionary, there are 73 names. Some of
