MOZHAROVS. "Mozhar" is a distorted name for Mishar. Toponyms starting with "Mozhar" are common in the lands of settlement of the Tatars - the Mishars. The surname Mozharovs, therefore, can quite naturally be associated with people from among the Tatars - the Mishars. See in connection with this - Dionisy Fedorovich Mozharov, noted in Ryazan in 1597.

MOLVYANIKOVS. From Rumor of Ivan, who emerged from the Naruchad-Mukhshin horde, i.e. from among the ancestors of the Tatars - the Mishars, related to the Plemyannikovs. In 1568, Bersen and Bekhter Yakovlevich Molvyaninovs were noted in Yaroslavl; judging by the names, they are of Turkic origin and may be the successors of this family.

MOLOSTOVS. The origin of the family is unclear, but judging by the fact that under 1615 the Molostvos Saltan and Ulan were mentioned in Nizhny Novgorod, i.e. having clearly Turkic nicknames, one can assume inclusion from the Turkic environment. S.B. Veselovsky suggests the origin of the Molostvovs from among the Novgorod boyars, who were evicted in the 15th century to Nizhny Novgorod, and later to Kazan.

MOSALSKIYE. The princes who came to Rus' together with Solykh Emir in 1371. . Subsequently - famous scientists and artists.

MOSOLOVS. From Murza Akhmet, who came from the Golden Horde to Rus' in 1346."" In 1556, the Mosolovs Matvey, Grigory, Semyon Ivanovich, located in Kashira and Meshchera, were noted, i.e. in the lands of usual settlement of people from Kazan and on the land of the Tatars - mishar. The surname is from the Turkic masul “request, wish”. Subsequently - populists, scientists.

MURATOVS. From Amuratov Boris, nicknamed Kizilbash, who left Kazan in 1550. By 1562 he was already mentioned as a nobleman in Moscow, and in the last quarter of the 16th century he and his descendants were allocated lands near Ryazan. In the OGDR, Roman Muratov was recorded in the nobility with estates in 1663. The surname is from the Turkic-Arabic murad ~ murat “having will, desire.”

MURZINS. From Murza Fedorovich Malikov, who entered Russian service in the first half of the 16th century. Subsequently, the Murzins with Turkic names were known as nobles in the Tula district. The surname is from the Turkic-Arabic nickname Mirza ~ Murza “prince, nobleman”.

MUSINS. A very common Tatar surname, based on the Hebrew-Arabic name Musa ~ Moses ~ messiah. The transition to the Russian environment apparently began around the middle of the 16th century; for example, Musa, a serving Tatar, a resident of Kazan in 1568, but perhaps earlier.

MUSINS - PUSHKINS. The OGDR records that the surname comes from Musa, who went to Rus' in 1198. In this case, this can only be a Bulgarian outcome. S.B. Veselovsky dispute the date, but not the exit. The first assumes that the Musins ​​- Pushkins, who are related to the Peshkovs and Saburovs, descend from Musa Pushkin Mikhail Timofeevich, who lived in the second half of the 15th century. At the same time, he considers it possible that there are other Musin families, for example, Dmitry Musin - Telegin, noted in 1569 in Novgorod. Musins ​​- Pushkin's relatives of the Pushkins, later - scientists, writers, general governor of the Kazan province, etc.

MUSTAFINS. From Semyon Mustafa, a baptized Tatar, serf of Bezzubts Sheremet, who lived at the end of the 15th century. Mustafins are landowners in Novgorod and Bezhetsk, for example, Nikita Stepanovich Mustafin, 1603, Novgorod. The basis of the surname is from the Arabic - "" Muslim Mustafa "chosen one of Allah".

MUKHANOVS. Known since the 16th century as nobles, for example; Mukhanov Stepan Ivanovich was noted under 1580 with lands in the Bryansk district; in the 17th century, the lands of the Mukhanovs, elevated to the nobility in 1597, were in Staritsky district. N.A. Baskakov does not doubt the Turkic exodus of the Mukhanovs and traces their surname to the Turkic-Arabic word mukhan ~ mukhkhan “servant, worker.” .

MYACCHKOVS. In the OGDR, Ivan Yakovlevich Myachk-Olbuga left the Tevriz kingdom to Dmitry Donskoy. Granted nobility in 1550. N.A. Baskakov confirms the Turkic origin of the family by the Turkic basis of the nicknames Myachka - from machi “cat”, Olbuga - from ala buga “hero or motley”. S.B. Veselovsky, like his relative Prince Serkiz, remained in Moscow during the period of great unrest in the Horde in the 70s of the 14th century.

Personal names and surnames derived from them

1) Among the Mishar names there are often ancient Tatar names, which among the Tatars are replaced by Arabic ones.

In Kostroma, I had a conversation about the Mishars with the local Akhun Safarov (originally from Kasimov), who, while talking about the Kostroma Mishars, by the way, touched on personal names. The Mishari, according to him, treat the names of their grandfathers and great-grandfathers with special respect, which is why they try to give their children ancient names, for example Adelsha84, Valisha, Khoramsha, Uraza, Altyn-bikә, Kutlu-bikә, etc., although from The Orenburg Mufti has a special circular on replacing such names with modern names of Arabic origin.

2) The names Kutlug-Mukhamet85, Kutlumet86, Kutlukai87, Kutlush88, Kutlu-yar, Kutlu-bikә (female name), etc. are often found, which is not noticed at all among the Tatars.

There are many personal names with the prefix “Kutlu” among the Kyrgyz: Kotlombәt, Kotlomөkhәmet, Kotlogaziy, etc.

The word “Kut” in the Jagatai dialect means happiness, Khutlug means happy. The Tatar saying “Kutlug bolsun” (let him be happy), as Frehn noted, was also minted on the coins of the Golden Horde khans89.

In the list of Akhuns of the district of the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly for 1896, Ismagil Kutlugyulov is mentioned - in the village of Kubak, Belebeevsky district, Ufa province90.

Timur-kutlug is the Golden Horde Khan, with whose name there are Tatar coins92.

The history of Shikhabetdin mentions the label of Timur-Kutluk, the son of Temirmelik Khan, from the year 800 Gijra 139893

In the Turkic history, Abulgazy Khan is mentioned from the clan of Genghis Khan, Kutluk-Timurkhan, among the Kashgar khans94.

In the names of Tatar villages, occasionally in surnames, there is a Turkic word - Uraz - happiness, hence "Urazly" - happy, Urazgildi - happiness has come, Urazbakty - happiness has appeared, Urazbaga - happiness is watching, Urazmet, Urazai, etc. With similar names in In the Kazan province there are Tatar villages that the Mishars would not notice.

3) Mishars often have names with the final prefix “bek”95, for example Alim-bek (Galimbik), Arslan-bek (Arslanbik), Bay-bek (Baybik), Sultan-bek (Soltanbik), Timer-bek (Timerbik) , Uzbek (Uzbik), Khan-bek (Khanbik), Rөstәm-bek, etc.96

Of these names, one of the Tatar names is Galimbik.

Similar names were also used by the Mongolian Tatars, for example, the known names of the khans are Yanibek, Uzbak, Birde-bek, Nәuz-bek, Keldi-bek, Tulun-bek, Chirkas-bek, Gayasetdin-aga-bek, Kagan-bek, etc.97

In the list of Akhuns of the district of the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly for 1896, Galei Chenaybekov is listed - in the Kalmyk part of the Astrakhan province (P.75)

In the book “Sәgyyd” (Saitovo posad, Orenburg province) on S.29 there is an akhun Temur-bek Vildanov, who died in 1271 Gijra.

4) Mishar surnames are mostly ancient and come from a Turkic root, for example Akchurin, Baichurin, Bichurin, Bikchurin, Baygildeev, Davletgildeev, Davlekamov, Duberdeev, Agishev, Ageev, Bogdanov, Enikeev, Teregulov, Mamaev, Mamleev, Mamin, Muratov, Kolchurin, Kapkaev, Kamaev, Kudashev, Kildyushev, Kadyshev, Karataev, Oktaev, Tenishev, Tukaev, Uzbekov, Chagataev, Chanyshev, Yanyshev. Yamashev, Yangalychev, Yangurazov, etc.98

Tatars often do not have a “surname”, but are called after their father. Akhmetzyan Mukhametzyanov, Abdul Valeev, etc.

In Kazan, where there are about 40 thousand Tatar people, there are only two or three old noble families.

In the list of akhons of the district of the Orenburg Mohammedan Spiritual Assembly for 1896, the akhons of the Mishar parishes almost all have old surnames, but this is not noticeable among the akhons of the Tatar parishes.

5) Among the Mishar names there are often names dedicated to the Lion (Aryslan - Arslan), as a noble and powerful beast, for example Aryslan gerey (Arslangaley), Aryslan-galey (Arslangali), Aryslan-bek (Arslanbik), etc.

The same thing is observed among the Bashkirs, Kyrgyz and Crimean Tatars99.

Among the Kazan Tatars, such names are found very rarely, and then only in later times, probably due to Mishar influence.

The warlike tribes of Asia needed to commemorate the birth of male babies or by naming the names of predatory and bloodthirsty animals: Aryslan - lion, Kaplan - leopard100, Syrtlan - hyena101;

or giving names of birds of prey, hunting birds: Shonkar - falcon, Shahin-garay, Persian Shahin - falcon, hawk; Shaһbaz-gәrayy, Persian Shaһbaz - falcon, hawk with which the king hunts;

or giving the names of glorious kings and heroes of the east: Iskәndәr Alexander the Great, Rөstәm-khan Rөstembek Rustum, glorious hero of ancient Persia;

or they gave names with the prefix “batyr” - hero, hero, “gazy” - to conquer, Kotlo-gazy - happy conqueror102, Batyrsha - king hero, Baybatyr - rich hero, Bikbatyr - excellent hero.

E.A. Malov notes that the Mishars do not shy away from Russian names, which are assigned by adults during relations with Russians103.

Russian names are sometimes seen among Tatars, especially intelligent and well-born ones, and these are mostly Mishars. In the city of Ufa live the famous landowners Tevkelevs, three brothers, now deceased: Salimgerey (former mufti), Saidgerey (guard colonel) and Batyrgerey. They were known more by their Russian names - Alexander Petrovich, Alexey Petrovich, Pavel Petrovich and the latter's son Kutlukai - Konstantin Pavlovich.

In Yelabuga district there were landowners from the Tatar Murzas: Kutlukai Bikmaev, Ilyas Muratov, who were also known by their Russian names - Konstantin Veniaminovich Bikmaev, Ilya Lvovich Muratov. The patronymic of the first is given in accordance with the name of his father Ibniamin, and the patronymic of the second is a literal translation of his father’s name - Aryslan (lion). Various employees of such people, in imitation of their masters, also assign Russian names. In general, Russian names are given especially by those Tatars who constantly rub shoulders with Russians, and in village bazaars various traders are known by Russian names.

Tatar surnames

A lot of interesting things can be told about the history of the origin of Tatar surnames, their origin and meaning, as well as the peculiarities of spelling. Initially, having a surname was an honorable prerogative of members of the nobility. Only in the twentieth century did all other Tatar clans receive this right. Until this moment, the Tatars placed clan-tribal relations at the forefront. The custom of knowing one’s family, one’s ancestors by name up to the seventh generation, was made a sacred duty and instilled from a young age.

The Tatars represent a very large ethnic group, distinguished by a rich and distinctive culture. But historically conditioned assimilation with the Slavic people still left its mark. The result was the formation of a fairly large part of Tatar surnames, formed by adding Russian endings: “-ov”, “-ev”, “-in”. For example: Bashirov, Busaev, Yunusov, Yuldashev, Sharkhimullin, Abaidullin, Turgenev, Safin. According to statistics, Tatar surnames ending in “-ev”, “-ov” are three times larger than surnames ending in “-in”.

Traditionally, Tatar surnames are formed from the male names of paternal ancestors. The majority of Tatar surnames are formed on the basis of male personal names. Only a small proportion of surnames come from professions. For example, Urmancheev (forester), Arakcheev (vodka merchant) and others. This type of surname formation is common to many nationalities.

A distinctive national feature of the Tatars is the form of formation of Tatar names. The full version of the Tatar name, like that of many other nationalities, consists of a first name, patronymic and surname, but since ancient times it has been customary to add a gender prefix to the patronymic of Tatars: “uly” (son) or “kyzy” (daughter).

The peculiarities of Tatar surnames also include the custom of their writing. The Tatars have two variants of spelling surnames: official - with endings (Sayfutdinov, Sharifullin, Saitov) and “everyday”, most widely used without adding an ending, only the name is written (instead of the surname Tukaev, Tukai is written). This method, by the way, is characteristic of Tatar literature.

There are countless Tatar surnames
Each of them has a zest
If the last name makes sense, look for it
There are many nuances you can learn

This page of our website discusses Tatar surnames. We will learn about the history and origin of Tatar surnames, discuss their meanings and distribution.
Origin of Tatar surnames

Studying the ethnic composition of the population of Russia, one can notice that a significant part of the inhabitants of our country are Tatars. And this is no coincidence; the history of the Russian state has developed in such a way that at the moment representatives of many nations and nationalities live on its territory. And one of the most numerous ethnic groups are the Tatar peoples. And, despite the fact that for decades and centuries there has been a mixture of nations and nationalities, the Tatars were able to preserve their national language, their culture and traditions. Tatar surnames refer precisely to such national characteristics and traditions.

The origin of Tatar surnames goes back centuries, when, like other nations, the richest and most noble representatives of the Tatar family were the first to acquire surnames. And only by the 20th century the rest of the people of Tatar origin received surnames. Until this moment, that is, while there were no surnames, the kinship relations of the Tatars were determined by their tribal affiliation. From an early age, every representative of the Tatar people remembered the names of their paternal ancestors. At the same time, the generally accepted norm was to know your family up to seven generations.
Features of Tatar surnames

There is a significant difference between well-known Tatar surnames, given names and the complete formula for the formation of Tatar names. It turns out that the complete formula for Tatar naming consists of the first name, patronymic and last name. At the same time, patronymics among the ancient Tatars were formed from the naming of the father, to which “uly” (son) or “kyzy” (daughter) was added. Over time, these traditions in the formation of Tatar patronymics and surnames mixed with Russian traditions of word formation. As a result, at the moment it can be considered that the vast majority of Tatar surnames were formed as derivatives from the names of male ancestors. At the same time, to form a surname, Russian endings were added to the male name: “-ov”, “-ev”, “-in”. These are, for example, the following Tatar surnames: Bashirov, Busaev, Yunusov, Yuldashev, Sharkhimullin, Abaidullin, Turgenev, Safin. This list of Tatar surnames can be quite large, since it was male names that were the main source for the formation of Tatar surnames. If we talk about the meaning that these surnames have, then it is obvious that it will repeat the meaning of the naming from which a specific surname is derived.

According to statistical data, the number of Tatar surnames with endings “-ev”, “-ov” exceeds Tatar surnames with the ending “-in” by approximately three times.
Writing Tatar surnames

There are two spelling options for Tatar surnames. One of these options eliminates the added endings, using only the name itself (for example, instead of the surname Tukaev, Tukay is spelled). This option is widely used in Tatar literature, but is not official. In official documents and common practice in Russia, a variant of Tatar surnames with endings is used: Sayfutdinov, Sharifullin, Saitov, etc.
Other Tatar surnames

Also, the origin of some Tatar surnames was associated with professions. This type of surname exists among almost all nations, and Tatar surnames in this sense are no exception. Examples of surnames whose origin is associated with professions may include the following surnames: Urmancheev (forester), Arakcheev (vodka merchant) and others.

If we consider the ethnic component of the population of Russia, it is striking that the Tatars represent a very important part of it. Among the peoples living on the territory of the country, they are among the first in number. The ethnic group has preserved its language, original cultural traditions and uniqueness. Tatar surnames can also be fully included here.

Historical review

The origin of surnames dates back to ancient times. Usually, representatives of the nobility appeared before everyone else. It was only at the end of the 19th century that various segments of the population began to acquire them everywhere. Until this happens - played a decisive role belonging to the clan. From childhood, representatives of the ethnic group remembered the names of paternal relatives up to the seventh generation.

The bulk is a modified name of an ancestor, ancestor (Aidarov, Akhmetov, Bagichev, Ielibeev, Rakhmanov, Sageev, Safin, etc.). Under the Soviets, sons and eldest grandchildren began to acquire the surname. Later it remained unchanged for the rest of the descendants.

The three-part form includes, in addition to the surname, the first name and patronymic, which came from the father's with the addition of “kyzy” or “ula” - daughter and son.

The formation of names was in close connection with carrier's occupation. For example, Arakcheev (Arakychy - moonshiner), Asmanov (Usman - chiropractor), Koncheev (kyunche - tanner), Barashin (barash - cleaner), Karachev (Karachi - manager); Elchin (elchy - messenger), Tolmachev (interpreter - translator), Maksheev (makshi - official), Mukhanov (mukhan - worker); Sageev (saga - butler), Sadyrev (sadyr - singer), Ulanov (lancer - rider), Tsurikov (chari - soldier), etc.

Nicknames could also serve as a basis: Zhemailov (juma - born on Friday), Ievlev (iyevle - stooped), Isakharov (izagor - angry), Karandeev (karyndy - thick-bellied), Kurbatov (karbat - squat), Kurdyumov (kurdzhun - knapsack), Lachinov (lachin - gyrfalcon ), Mamonov (momun - bashful). And also the names of the area, animals, celestial bodies, insects, and household items. The roots of the names are Muslim, Arabic, ancient Turkic and Turkic-Persian.

Language relationship

Use of Russian as the state language had a significant impact for national surnames. Hence, the vast majority of them have the endings -in, -ov, -ev, in the manner of Russians. A brief overview of the list of Tatar surnames in alphabetical order (the most common):

The declension of male and female Tatar surnames is subject to the same rules as in Russian.

The sound of beautiful Tatar surnames is special. The inescapable national flavor is clearly audible:

Bashkir surnames are also very similar to Tatar surnames. No wonder. Bashkirs and Tatars are related peoples of the Turkic group.

Geographic neighbors who have common roots, religion, almost identical languages ​​and culture. The list of Bashkir surnames in alphabetical order is not much different from the Tatar one.
