There are many borrowed names in the Chechen language from other languages. It is generally accepted that among the peoples who converted to Islam, there are mainly Arabic names. This is not entirely true. In fact, these peoples have preserved several dozen names that were worn by the Arabs in the first century after the adoption of Islam.

Blood ties play an important role in the life of Chechens, all family members are closely related.

One tribe - one surname

Even in ancient times, Chechen surnames were one, and, accordingly, they were all closely related. If someone from the family was offended, the rest of the relatives stood up for him. Similar among the Chechens has its own name "taip" or "taipan" - one clan, tribe or one surname. If Chechens talk about a certain person, they will definitely specify what type he is from. In relation to family kinship, all its members call themselves "vosha" or "vezherei", that is, brothers, and "voshalya" means a whole bond of brotherhood.

Origin of Chechen surnames

In primitive times, when there were few members of the surname, they were all together, they made up one family. Later they began to divide themselves into branches and lines. When there were too many members in the family and there was not enough place to live, they began to develop new places, thus disconnecting from their family. But this was not the reason for the breakup of brotherly relations, rather, on the contrary, their connection only intensified when they got to know each other.

And the surname comes from the name of the ancestor. For example, let's take the surname Kutaev. It comes from the name Kutai, which means "holy month" in translation. This name was given to boys who were born in Ramadan - the holy month, the time of mercy, purification, fasting and forgiveness. Of course, today it is difficult to say exactly how the Chechen surnames, in particular Kutaev, were formed, since this process took long time.
