Tatar spelling and script

Tatar is written in a Cyrillic alphabet with extra letters, among them ә, ө, ү, җ, ң and һ, and the cards show the Tatar Cyrillic spelling next to the Latin form where we have one. Arabic and Latin scripts were used in earlier periods, so older family papers may look different.

Latin forms are common romanizations, not an official standard. The same Tatar name can be written Rinat or Rinät in Latin letters.

How a full Tatar name is written

Tatar full names commonly use Russian-style endings (-ov / -ova) in documents; the father's name as a second name is the older custom.

In documents the common surname pattern uses Russian-style endings, -ov and -ova. The older custom gives the father's name as a second name, and the generator can preview both with a real father's name.

  • Surname -ov / -ova: e.g. Rinatov.
  • Given name + father's name: The father's name as a second name.

Practice varies by family, country and period.

Using the generator for Tatar names

  • Filter by Persian or Arabic origin; both layers are large among Tatar names.
  • Use Show a full name to compare the -ov form with the father's-name form.
  • Compare with the Bashkir generator; related names appear under each language only when recorded for it.

Practical tips for Tatar parents

Check whether the letters ә, ө, ү, җ, ң and һ are available on the documents you will use; if not, decide on one Latin form and keep it.

Tatar and Bashkir are close, so relatives may say a name slightly differently. Write down the pronunciation your family uses.

Many names have Arabic or Persian roots and keep their religious or poetic meaning; the name page explains the source of each.

What to keep in mind about Tatar data

  • Many Tatar entries come from our editorial research and carry the Editorial label until a cited source is found.
