Abstract

The life of every nation has always been associated with certain ideas about the nature of things. Since people formed their cultural traditions within a particular territory, accordingly the attitude to different objects and concepts in various traditions turned out to be extremely diverse. However, as cultural relations and interlingual interference, some idio-ethnic features could change over time. A noticeable diversity is observed when referring to the vocabulary of color terms, which varies from language to language even concerning primary colors, even though the human eye everywhere perceives the colorful diversity of the world in the same way. The article discusses Kazakh-English anthroponyms with color components. The common models of the considered type of personal names are revealed, the denotative meanings of the lexical bases of onyms are characterized, as well as the connotative meanings introduced by colors in anthroponyms. The ethnocultural component of the onomastic semantics of a proper name is described, based on the worldview of the people through the prism of the linguistic picture of the world. Keywords: anthroponym, the ethnocultural component of semantics, culture codes, color-coding
