The Meaning and Structure of Mongolian and Korean Names

Abstract

Abstract Human nomenclature is a branch of linguistics that includes the language, culture, and history of a given society. People’s names have been changing due to the lifestyle, religion, customs, culture, society, politics, and education level of the time. The study of the name of a person who forms the culture of the nation is important to know the unique thinking of the country, the root values and beliefs of the nation. A comparative study of the meaning and structural features of Mongolian and Korean names is likely to contribute even a little to Mongolian and Korean scholars’ further comparative studies of language and culture.
