Abstract

The article deals with a comparative analysis of modern personal names and names of residents of the city of Yakutsk of the last century. The purpose of the article is to characterize the composition of the regional anthroponymicon on the example of NEFU natural specialties students’ personal names. The results show that, by origin, anthroponyms are subdivided into the borrowed, Yakut and hybrid ones. The overwhelming majority of names are borrowed from the Russian language. The Yakut onyms make up 1/5 of the names. The smallest group is represented by hybrid anthroponyms. Canonical anthroponimic lexemes form the basis of the male and female subsystems. Non-calendar onyms are singular. Yakut personal names are gaining popularity. Hybrid names are the result of individual name creation.
