| description | Hypocoristic names, which are widely used in the cultural geography where
Kosovo Turks live, have likewise found normal use among Kosovo Turks through
cultural interaction. The ethnic and cultural origins of the Kosovo Turks is based
on Anatolia, as it is believed to have been settled from Anatolia during the reign of
Sultan Murat II. Due to this, in their culture and folklore, there can be noticed traces
of the heritage brought from Anatolia. It is possible to see the traces of this heritage
in all areas of private and public life, therefore, there have been done considerable
research on the issue. After settling in these lands and becoming the indigenous
component of the same, Kosovo Turks enriched this initial cultural heritage with
local cultural and folklore elements. This aspect of the Kosovo Turks folklore has
not yet been explored and is worth researching. As a result of cultural interference,
there have been developed a tradition of hypocoristic creation of personal names
as a folkloric feature.
Studies on the onomastics of Kosovo Turks are limited, but not inexistent.
Nevertheless, hypocorism is not a studied subject, both as a term and as a
phenomenon.
In our study, we strived to briefly discuss the meaning and origin of the term.
Subsequently, we shared information on ways to create hypocorisms and included
examples of common hypocoristic names depending on gender. We tried to shed
light on where these words, as important for Balkan Turkish anthroponomy, derive
from. |
