Abstract

Proper names are an integral part of the vocabulary, they are connected to the history of mankind, its language. Therefore, the recent interest is the study of anthroponyms is natural.  

“Whole volumes could be written about Georgian names and surnames and still not be exhausted in their full depth and breadth. This is very interesting area of the Geprgian language, where this or that side of the history of the Georgian nation is reflected” (Akaki Shanidze). The cultural-historical and linguistic peculiarities of one’s own names are reflected in fiction. For the perfection of the character’s artistic appearance, the writer pays attention to the selection of the name. The fact that the great writer Otia Ioseliani approached the selection of the character’s name with great responsibility is confirmed by his highly artistic, diverse work.

In fiction, surnames and nicknames play a characteristic role, and in Otia Ioseliani’s works, people’a names also stand out with their own unique nuance. Each hero has a primary or secondary name. The writer has many characters with foreign surnames alongside Georgian surnames, which makes his work even more interesting.
