Chechens are a heroic, proud people who value their foundations and history. Chechen male names reflect the strength and spirit of the people, personifying male power and honor. Among the names and nicknames of this people you will not find diminutive formulations and translations; each name reflects the meaning of masculinity and stature.
For example, Chechen male names often mean representatives of the animal world with pronounced strong-willed characteristics.
Animal world

Also, many Chechen male names carry a symbolic Muslim meaning. They are borrowed from the Arabs and history. These are the names that belonged to the companions and contemporaries of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him).

Chechen male names, borrowed from the Arabs before the emergence of the history of Islam
According to customs, Chechen boys' names are given with a certain attitude and parting words. It is believed that the name reflects the character, will, and spirit of its bearer. Therefore, most of all, with a strong-willed and courageous orientation.
The whole life of Chechens was closely connected with their family relationships, so much attention is paid to the connections of their surnames. The written-off surnames and given names are mainly of Arabic and Persian origin, but there are also Russian roots. Blood ties play an important role in the lives of Chechens; all family members are closely related to each other.
One tribe - one surname
Even in ancient times, Chechen surnames formed one whole, and accordingly, they were all closely related to each other. If someone from the family was offended, the rest of the relatives stood up for him. The Chechens have a similar name “type” or “taipan” - one clan, tribe or one surname. If Chechens talk about a certain person, they always clarify what type he is from. In relation to family kinship, all its members call themselves “vosha” or “vezherey”, i.e. brothers, and “voshallya” means a whole bond of brotherhood.
Origin of Chechen surnames
In primitive times, when there were few members of the family, they were all together, making up one family. Later they began to divide themselves into branches and lines. When there were too many family members and not enough space to live, they began to explore new places, thus becoming separated from their family. But this was not the reason for the collapse 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”. This name was given to boys who were born in Ramadan - the holy month, a time of mercy, purification, fasting and forgiveness. Of course, today it is difficult to say exactly how Chechen surnames, in particular Kutaev, were formed, since this process took a long time. But, despite this, the surname Kutaev is a wonderful monument of culture and writing of the entire Caucasian people.
Kyiv is both a city and a surname
Chechen male surnames have an equally interesting history of origin, especially if it is connected with the place of residence of an ancestor or profession. One of them is Tsurgan, which means “patchwork” in Chechen. A tailor or furrier could have such a surname.
The Caucasian people called a clearing tsurga, which indicated the place of residence of an ancestor. Some authors cite a number of surnames that were in fashion back in the 17th century. They are claimed by a large number of strange Russian clans.
An interesting fact is that there are Chechen surnames that sound like the names of Russian or Ukrainian cities, for example, Saratov or Kyiv.
Persian, Arabic, Turkic language - the basis for the Chechen name
Chechen languages, like Ingush, are part of the Nakh group. The names of Chechens reflect the specific features of the phonetic system, lexical unit and morphological structure. The main thing that is included in the names of the Chechen people:
- real Chechen names;
- Arabic and ;
- names obtained from other languages using Russian.
Chechen surnames for men, as well as names, have a long origin. Some are derived from the names of birds and animals: falcon - Lecha, hawk - Kuira, wolf - Borz. Khokha (pigeon), Chowka (jackdaw) are female.
Some Chechen female surnames are copied from Arabic, Persian and Turkic languages. This also applies to male surnames. In frequent cases, names become compound. There are some elements that can be appended to either the beginning or the end of a personal name.
Larisa, Louise, Lisa, Raisa are names that were taken from the Russian language. In some documents there are forms of names in a reduced state, for example Zhenya and Sasha.
Sound features
Dialect differences must be taken into account in pronunciation and writing. The fact is that the same word can differ in its sound. For example, Almahad (Almahat), Abuyazid (Abuyazit) can occur at the end of the name, the vowel can also change at the end of the word (Yusup - Yusap, Yunus - Yunas). Regardless of length or brevity, in Chechen names the stress always falls on the first syllable.
Ingush names differ from Chechen names in their spelling features. A characteristic feature of the Chechen language is the frequent use of the sound “ay”, in contrast to Ingush. Certain female names are used with the sound “a”, while in Ingush the sound “ai” will be present. For example, the Chechen name of Asia in Ingush will look like this - Aaizi.
Chechen surnames and patronymics appear in a very specific way. The father's name must be placed only in the genitive case and must be placed before the name, and not after, as in Russian or Ukrainian. Chechen - Hamidan Bakh, Russian - Bakha Hamidanovich. For official documents, Chechens write their last and patronymic names in the same way as Russians: Ibragimov Usman Akhmedovich.
Chechen surnames during the reign of Ivan the Terrible
The number of Chechen surnames by origin can be divided into percentages: 50% - Russian origin, 5% - Ukrainian, 10% - Belarusian, 30% - peoples of Russia, 5% - Bulgarian and Serbian. Any surname is formed from the nickname, name, place of residence, occupation of an ancestor in the male line.
If we talk about this surname - Chechentsev, it is very common not only in Russia, but also in the neighboring countries. Pre-revolutionary documents have survived to this day, which say that bearers of this surname were honorary persons and were members of the Kiev clergy, having at the same time a huge royal privilege. The surname is mentioned in the population census list; back in the days of the Grand Duke, there was a special list in which there were very prominent surnames. They were granted to courtiers only on special occasions. As you can see, the surname has its original origin.
Chechen surnames are very diverse and unique; their list is large and constantly updated. Some people have ancient roots and retain their surname, while others constantly introduce something new, thus changing it. It is interesting to find out after many, many years that you are a descendant of some honorable family. This is how you live, suspecting nothing, and one day you will learn the real history of your ancestors.
Naming is the first, main event in the life of a newborn baby. Many people believed and still believe that a name plays an important role in a person’s fate. Therefore, the Chechens, like many representatives of other nationalities, treated this event with great seriousness and attention. But times pass and the heritage is lost, just like many traditions of the concept of Islam. Nowadays, a name is sometimes the only sign by which we can guess what religion and sometimes nationality this or that person is.
Names are the historical heritage of the people. Unfortunately, many original Chechen names are undeservedly forgotten and become a thing of the past. Names carry part of the history, culture, and faith of their people.
Some traditional Chechen names, which arose on the basis of its original lexical fund, reflect the attitude towards the surrounding life. There are also specific names associated with the plant and animal worlds or which are attributive names. There are also names borrowed from other languages.
The next part of the names, which is by far the most common, are names of eastern origin. They took root in the territory inhabited by the Chechen people, for the most part during the spread of Islam. Basically these are the names of Prophets and Messengers, Prophet Muhammad (saw), His companions, students, followers. Also, based on many hadiths, we learn that the best names are those consisting of the prefix “Abd” - slave and one of the epithets of Allah. For example, Abdullah is a slave of Allah, Abdurrahman is a slave of the Merciful, etc.

Naming is the first, main event in the life of a newborn baby. Many people believed and still believe that a name plays an important role in a person’s fate. Therefore, the Chechens, like many representatives of other nationalities, treated this event with great seriousness and attention. But times pass and the heritage is lost, just like many traditions of the concept of Islam. Nowadays, a name is sometimes the only sign by which we can guess what religion and sometimes nationality this or that person is.
Names are the historical heritage of the people. Unfortunately, many original Chechen names are undeservedly forgotten and become a thing of the past. Names carry part of the history, culture, and faith of their people.
Classification of names by origin
Some traditional Chechen names, which arose on the basis of its original lexical fund, reflect the attitude towards the surrounding life. There are also specific names associated with the plant and animal worlds or which are attributive names. There are also names borrowed from other languages.
The next part of the names, which is by far the most common, are names of eastern origin. They took root in the territory inhabited by the Chechen people, for the most part during the spread of Islam. These are mainly the names of Prophets and Messengers, the Prophet Muhammad. His associates, students, followers. Also, based on many hadiths, we learn that the best names are those consisting of the prefix “Abd” - slave and one of the epithets of Allah. For example, Abdullah is a slave of Allah, Abdurrahman is a slave of the Merciful.
The most common names.
Modern Chechen names include both native Chechen anthroponyms and those borrowed from Persian, Arabic and Russian languages. Native names often designate birds and animals: Lecha (“falcon”), Kokha (“dove”), Kuira (“hawk”), Tshogal (“fox”), Cha (“bear”).
But more often they reflect a specific verb form: Vakha - “live”, Yakhiyata - “let you live”. Often there are beautiful Chechen names formed from participles and adjectives: Dika - “good”. These anthroponyms reflect people’s attitude to life, flora and fauna: Zelimzan (“healthy, real”), Lu (“roe deer”), Mayrsalt (“brave”), Nokhcho (“Chechen”), Suli (“Dagestan”). Such names today are not as popular as those borrowed from their neighbors.
Names borrowed from other cultures
Many Chechen names were borrowed from Arabic and Persian languages: Ali, Umar, Yakub, Magomed, Akhmat, Shamsuddin, Saifulla, Mukhsin, Ihsan, Zaman - common Chechen male names. And women's: Jamilya, Zuhra, Maimuna, Nazira, Savda, Leila, Amanat, Rebiat, Safiyya, Fazilya, Halima, Yasmin. Names can also be compound names, in which elements such as “bek” or “soltan” are added to the main part. This part can come at the beginning or at the end.
Many Chechen female names were borrowed from Russian: Lisa, Raisa, Rosa, Louise, Zinaida, Zhanna, Tamara, Dasha and others. Often the diminutive form of a name is written down as the official name. For example, Sasha or Zhenya, which is quite common among mountain peoples.
Depending on what dialect the residents of Chechnya speak, the pronunciation and even the spelling of the same name varies: Akhmad - Akhmat, Yunus - Yunas, Abuyazid - Abuyazit.
Recently, names of Arabic origin have become increasingly popular among mountaineers.
Factors in the formation of Chechen names
Original Nakh names reflect the attitude towards the surrounding life. The Chechen language contains a certain number of personal names that arose on the basis of its original lexical fund. These names are very specific and are associated with flora and fauna and attributive names. Native names represent the most ancient layer in Chechen anthroponymy; they are the property of the Chechen language and rarely penetrate into other languages.
The animal world is significantly reflected in personal Chechen names:
Bozh (buozh) - goat;
Bula (bul) - bison;
Borz (buorz) - wolf;
Ovlur - lamb of winter cattle;
Other names of predatory animals are used as nicknames that reflect one or another human trait:
Cha - bear;

Dhaka is a mouse, the ability to go everywhere and avoid trouble is emphasized;

Zezag - flowers;
Zaza - flowering;
Datta - rowan;
There are also names in the Chechen language derived from the names of precious metals and stones:

Children - silver;

In the Chechen language there are also names that reflect natural phenomena and cosmic bodies:
Markha - cloud, cloud;
Seda (sieda) - star;
Batta - lunar;
Malkh - azni - sunny beauty;
Kameta - kameta;
Kilba - south;
In Chechen anthroponymy, spell names formed from verbs occupy a large place. Male names:

Vahiyta - let him live;
Visa - stay;
Visiyta - let him stay;
Female names:
Yaha - alive;
Yahiyata - let him live;

Such names were given in families where children did not survive. The difficult economic situation, poverty and hunger led to high infant mortality. And then the desperate mountain family turned to spell names. When many girls were born in a family, they gave spell names:
Saciyta, Toita - enough, let him stop;
Chechens attached great importance to names. The name was treated with care. Chechens say that “The name is the glory of the strong, the name is the shame and misfortune of the weak.”

Dika - good;
Masa - fast, frisky, Mayra, Mayrbek;
Myrsalt - brave (bek);
Sutarbi - greedy;
Haza - beautiful, (Khazabika);

More about Nakh names
The semantics of many names based on the Nakh languages is incomprehensible today. Unfortunately, many original and traditional Nakh names are undeservedly forgotten and become a thing of the past. Yes, life changes and, reflecting these changes, names change, not just the words used as names, but what was meant by these names. There are many borrowed names in the Chechen language from other languages. It is generally accepted that among the peoples who converted to Islam, Arabic names are common. This is not entirely true. In fact, these peoples have preserved several dozen names that were borne by the Arabs in the first century after the adoption of Islam. Of the actual Arabic names, only those that were in one way or another associated with the name of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) remained in use. And the names of his associates and students.
Many of the names that Chechens bear are oriental names; there are names borrowed from the Russian language and through it from other languages. Let's look at the etymology of some names:
Laila (Laila) - the name means lily.
Malik - the meaning of the name is possessing, ruling.
Malika - the meaning of the name is queen.
Mansur - the meaning of the name is victorious.
Muhammad (Mokhmad, Mahmud, Mukhammad) - the meaning of the name is glorified, glorious.
A correctly chosen name has a strong positive impact on a person’s character and destiny. Actively helps to develop, forms positive qualities of character and condition, strengthens health, removes various negative programs of the unconscious. But how to choose the perfect name?
Despite the fact that there are cultural interpretations of what male names mean, in reality the influence of the name on each boy is individual.
The phrase about the meaning of the name is not yet an understanding of the real impact.
For example, Said (happy, blissful), this does not mean that the young man will be happy, but those with other names will be unhappy. The name can block his heart center and he will not be able to give and receive love. On the contrary, another boy will be helped to solve problems of love or power, which will make life and achieving goals much easier. The third boy may not have any effect at all, whether there is a name or not. Etc. Moreover, all these children can be born on the same day. And have the same astrological, numerological and other characteristics.
The secret of a man's name, as a program of the unconscious, a sound wave, vibration, is revealed in a special bouquet primarily in a person, and not in the semantic meaning and characteristics of the name. And if this name destroys a child, then no matter how beautiful, melodious with the patronymic, astrologically accurate, blissful it is, it will still be harmful, destroy character, complicate life and burden fate.
Below are more than 200 male Chechen names. Try to choose several that you think are most suitable for your child. Then, if you are interested in the effectiveness of the name’s influence on fate, .
