The scientific study of all kinds of proper names that characterize a particular lexical category in any language is now universally recognized. The modern stage of development of World linguistics is characterized by the rapid growth of onomastic searches. This is because research on onomastics answers questions from sciences such as archeology, sociology, historical geography. In recent years, anthroponyms as a linguistic object have been attracting more and more attention of linguists. Therefore, looking at the anthroponymy of Kazakhs is a parapar with the study of one of the areas of the national socio-linguistic environment. The main goal of the research work is the need to find answers to a series of questions that the state of the modern anthroponymic system of Kazakhs can answer. The tasks of tarii-linguistic, statistical, social analysis of Kazakh names are as follows: collection, processing of available anthroponymic material; reflection of the history, features of the formation of modern Kazakh names, consideration of the dynamics of the development of the anthroponymic system over the past five years. When revealing the topic of the research work, the general methodological principles of linguistics, the theoretical works of well-known onomasts were taken as the basis. In the course of the study, the authors turned to almost all the methods used by onomastic science. In particular, methods of observation, description, structural and etymological historical and comparative analysis were used. The significance of the work is characterized by its contribution to the development of Turkic onomastics. The results will contribute to the introduction of additional information into Kazakh anthroponymy. Statistical data are good for linguists and sociologists to draw conclusions about the processes of National Education and formation of the national language. In addition, when creating textbooks, dictionaries, and teaching methods, you can use the results of the article.
