Keyword: «yakut names»

The paper examines the features of the semantics of a proper name on the basis of the Yakut language; the source for the analysis is the names of NEFU students living in hostels. Analyzing anthroponymics, many sometimes explained the meaning of names, relying on folk etymology, which comes from the root base of the word, and correlated the generic name with meaning. The representation of the NAME concept indicates that the Sakha people do not lose touch with history, are trying to preserve national traditions and are proud of their national identity.
