Abstract
The article is devoted to the analysis and classification of anthropoiconyms of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia). Despite the fact that the considered group of toponyms is one of the most widely represented in the toponymic system of the region, today oikonyms formed from personal names, surnames and nicknames are poorly studied, this is due to the relevance of the study. The novelty of the work is predetermined by the coverage of anthropoiconyms, the level of the analysis and the attempt made to classify them according to the lexico-semantic principle. As a result of the study, the following most common lexical and semantic groups were described: 1) names derived from personal names, surnames and nicknames of the first settlers, land owners, local residents and historical figures; 2) memorial names and dedication names; 3) names on behalf of the first ancestor, generic name. The most numerous is the first group of anthropoiconyms: there are many settlements on the territory of Yakutia, whose names are formed from both Russian and Yakut personal names, surnames and nicknames. The second group consists of names of geographical objects in honor of outstanding personalities of the era, most often Soviet. The third group includes oiconyms with ancient archaic foundations, mostly of Yakut origin, formed according to the anthroponym – genonym – anthropoiconym model. The prospect of research is seen in a detailed study of the horonyms formed from genoiconyms (congeneric names), using the example of the naslegs of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia).
