Nowadays, the use of national names and surnames has become widespread compared to previous times. Even in ASAN Service, suggestions are constantly made on this matter. The previous generation was part of the Soviet Union. We all know that, as in other fields, our surname endings also had a Russian origin. But the origin of -ov -yev is also considered to be of Azerbaijani origin. This has already been proven through research. The endings of Persian origin entered our language under the influence of the Persian language. We have observed this when looking at the vocabulary of our language.
Sevinj Aliyeva, director of the Monitoring Center at the State Language Commission, said in her statement to SIA.
According to her, the children should not experience any negative situations related to their names and surnames, and shouldn't be ashamed of it either.
"A name is one of the issues that play a role in the formation of a person as an individual. After some time, when a person hears his/her name, he/she can be happy or anxious. Therefore, we should be extremely careful about the name and surname. Surnames are chosen by parents as well as first names. Parents should think that we are preparing our child for the future. This should be treated as a very sensitive matter," the expert added.
Aliyeva noted that there is a special interest in changing surname endings in the recent times.
"The issue of surname endings is a very important one. Since Jafar Jabbarli's era, there have been calls on this topic in our literature. There are so many beautiful names of Azerbaijani origin in the speech, works, and poetry of our intellectuals, which is inspiring. This aspiration should be further strengthened, everything depends on positive promotion."
In the end, our interviewer noted that children in Azerbaijani families prefer religious names when they are born late, "There is even a belief that religious names helps them live longer. But I think we have very good catalogue of names when it comes to semantic content. There are also those who name their children after national heroes. These names represent our heroes and serve as a challenge for us all. As parents, it is important to carefully select names for our children that not only honor these heroes, but also hold significant meaning that our children will carry with pride for years to come."
