What does "oglu" mean? Origin of the name, surname and patronymic

How often did you meet people with a prefix in the name, surname or patronymic "oglu". Have you ever wondered what "ogles" means? Today we will answer this question from a historical and legal point of view.

Origin of the name "Ogly" in the ancestors

Ancient Türks are the ancestors of many Eastern nationalities. It was they who used to call the first-born male "oghli", which translated "son". In the future, the name was transformed into a patronymic or surname of future generations. Thus, the boy's criticism of the name "Ogly" meant that it belonged to the man, the son of his father.

How did the name "Ogly"

If we talk about the Azerbaijani people, then the names arose not long ago. Back in the 19th century, the Azerbaijani had only his name and prefix in the form of his father's name. Usually there were such variants: "oglu" (or "oglu" in the modern form), "-de" (means "offspring", has Persian roots of the origin of the name), they were used to masculine names. For example, Ibrahim Sattar oglu, Suleimanbek Hasanzadeh. What does "oglu" mean, we figured out. And what about women's names? Here, by analogy with masculine - for women's names "kizi" was added, which meant "daughter". For example, a woman's name will look like this: Reyhan Kurban kizi.

What does the name "oglu" or "zade" mean? We already know. But in the modern world, if you meet a person with a prefix "oglu", it will be transformed to a patronymic, but the last option "-de" firmly entrenched itself to the name of the father, from which the origin of the next generations of descendants is derived.

Among the living Eastern peoples, forms of the endings of surnames with suffixes of old forms have survived: -oglu, -la, -li, -de, more often -a (a), -ev (a), less-often (aja). For example, Selimzade, Juvarly, Kasumbeyli, Tagiyev, Muganli.

Origin of the patronymic in Russia

Even in the ancient annals of Rus it was possible to meet people bearing a patronymic. But the modern interpretation, for example, Sergeev Nikolai Petrovich, was only in the circles of the highest nobility and among the representatives of the royal family. The opportunity to wear a patronymic was like the mercy of a sovereign. And the peasant's name could look like this: Nicholas, son of Peter or Petrov's son. According to these signs, the historian can determine the time when the annals or the document was created.

How did the patronymic of other peoples

After the main name, the Arabs designate a patronymic in the form of a prefix "Ibn" (for men) and "bandage" (in women) before the name of the father. For example, Hayrat ibn Rashid (Hayrat son of Rashid). Despite the fact that women have patronyms - this is a rare phenomenon, but there are exceptions: Abiya bint Rashid (Abiya's daughter Rashid).

In the case of Jews, the patronym is denoted by the prefix "bin" or "bar". For example, Aaron ben Solomon (Aaron the son of Solomon), Yochai bar David (Yohai son of David).

What does the prefix "ogly" mean for the Azerbaijanis, we know. But the modern generation of people has a patronymic only in the 20th century, with the advent of Soviet power, so you can often find, for example, such a sounding name: Huseyn Israfil oglu Aliyev. Which means, Aliyev Huseyn Israfilovich.

What does "ogly" mean in the patronymic in the modern world

"Ogly" means that a man belongs to one or another genus. After all, his father can have several sons. Thus, it served as an obligatory compound for the name of the man. Currently, "oglu" or "ulya" is not an important component in the formation of the name, but preserved in many eastern men. This prefix is more a tribute to the ancestors. In documents, "oglu" is written through a hyphen, a space, with a lowercase or uppercase letter. When a Russian passport is issued, a citizen can save "oglu" or "Russify" a name with a customary prefix in the middle of the middle of the day.

Europeans do not have the notion of "patronymic", so this prefix is not translated and not fixed when processing documents in foreign languages.

What does "oglu" mean in terms of law

Increasingly, the younger generation of Eastern nations resort to the design of their documents without pre-emptive forms for the patronymic "oglu", "oglu", "ulya", kizi, "gyzy", since when leaving your republic or abroad, legal difficulties arise Execution of documents. How is the situation in this region in particular? Consider the following:

• Republic of Tuva - in 1996, a law was passed approving the use of "oglu (y)", "kizi" in the names of citizens. And since 2010, at the legislative level, it is allowed to add these prefix forms to European names.
• The Republic of Sakha - in connection with the problems of the local prosecutor's office with regard to pre-installation forms, a state program and a directory of names was developed, the purpose of which is to resolve conflict issues in the patronymic of citizens.

• The Republic of Tatarstan - in the "family code" of the republic there is an opportunity for parents of the child to make their own decisions on the formation of the name of the future citizen.
• The Republic of Buryatia - here in 1999, a law was approved that permits names according to national traditions. It should be noted that not all Buryats have such an opportunity. Residents of the Agin Autonomous District, which was annexed to the Chita region, are deprived of this. Researchers note that it is characterized by ancient names that have reached the depths of 25 generations. To interpret them is very problematic. Especially popular were double surnames, borrowed from Tibetan and Sanskrit languages.
• The Kyrgyz Republic - the inhabitants of the republic have increasingly resorted to changing patronymics without pre-emptive forms. In the local bill, a plan is drawn up for the correct spelling of names, surnames, patronymics in accordance with national traditions.

Nevertheless, to date, any citizen of the Russian Federation has the right to independently decide on his name, starting from national traditions, religion or beliefs.
