Tatar names

Tatar is the native language of the Tatar people of Russia. They are a Turkic ethnic group native to Tatarstan and the Volga region. The vast majority of Tatars today reside in post-Soviet countries, primarily in Russia, Uzbekistan and Ukraine. They are predominantly Muslim. Tatars are divided into subgroups depending on where they are native to: Volga Tatars are native to the Volga region, Crimean Tatars are native to Crimea, Siberian Tatars to Siberia, Astrakhan Tatars to Astrakhan, and Lipka Tatars to Eastern Europe.

Due to their history with Russia, Islam and the West, most contemporary Tatar names are a mix of Islamic names, native Turkic names, European names, and "revolutionary" names. Today, common Tatar names contain a given name, a family name and a patronymic. In Russia, all Tatar names have a Russian transliteration.
