Abstract:

The purpose of the study is the onymy (oikonymy, ethnonymy, oronymy, toponymy, castelonymy, hydronymy, etc.) of the city of Bakhchisaray, located in the territory of the Crimean peninsula, which proves that for centuries there, lived many tribes and nations. Bulgarians who were deported in 1944 to distant parts of the former USSR moved to this territory during the Russo-Turkish wars in the 19th century, and in the 1990s began to return to Crimea. Today in Bakhchisaray our compatriots continue to live, as evidenced by some anthroponyms, eortonyms and others.The purpose of the study is the onymy (oikonymy, ethnonymy, oronymy, toponymy, castelonymy, hydronymy, etc.) of the city of Bakhchisaray, located in the territory of the Crimean peninsula, which proves that for centuries there, lived many tribes and nations.
