Cultural Patterns of Naming People among Mongol Tribes based on Literary and Historical Texts

Mongolian tribes, following their cultural traditions, have a diverse array of names for people. This was particularly evident during and after the Mongol rule in Iran, where Persian texts from that era often reflect these Mongolian names. Iranian writers and historians sometimes provided insights into the meanings and reasons behind these names, along with related stories and narratives. Despite the significance of Mongol nomenclature in literary and historical texts, comprehensive research on this topic remains scarce, underscoring the need for this study. In these texts, naming patterns varied according to nature, physical conditions, events, and manners. Sometimes, names were altered for various reasons.
