| Sumario: | The onomastic worldview reflects the most important aspects of culture and history, world outlook and psychology of the people. The meaning of some onomastic units contains hidden informational layers of archaic mythological thinking. One of the most significant groups among those units includes names of the plant world. This article is aimed at demonstrating the specificity of the plant life representation in the onomastic worldview of the Tatars. The analysis involves interpretation of the meaning of toponyms and anthroponyms retaining repercussions of beliefs of the ancient Turks. The analysis was carried out on linguistic and culturological material by means of a complex of interdisciplinary methods and techniques. The conducted analysis revealed that the tradition of using names of flora as proper nouns traces its origin to the archaic forms of mythology, which conceived a tree as the supreme god’s symbol. The ancient naïve views of the Turks were transmitted to the modern onomastics of the Tatars. Due to its stability, the toponymic system retains the earliest views. In the anthroponymic system, despite the fact that many of ancient anthroponyms grew out of use, traditions and motives of naming continued when borrowing anthroponyms from other languages |
