Mongol Baby Names

The Mongols/Mongolian are an East-Central Asian ethnic group native to Mongolia and China. They belong to the Buryat and Kalmyk subgroups. Mongolian is the official language of Mongolia, where it is spoken by mass Mongolian. Mangolian people are eventually adopted Buddhism.

Mongolian naming practices are quite interesting and unique and what is even more exciting is that the names here are super distinctive and adorable with a great meaning hidden in there. Mongolian names have gone through certain revolutions in the history of Mongolia. Mongolian names traditionally have an important symbolic character — a name with auspicious connotations being thought to bring good fortune to its bearer. The naming of children was usually done by the parents or a respected elder of the family or religious figures.

Nowadays most parents give Mongolian names to their children, often consisting of two nouns or adjectives, representing qualities such as solidity and strength for boys or beauty in the case of girls. Male names include the names of old Mongolian elements such as 'iron' or 'steel', or other words denoting strength, such as 'hero', 'strong', or 'ax' while women's names commonly refer to fine colours or flowers, the sun and moon, or may be made up of any other word with positive connotations using the feminine suffix -maa.

Generally, the Mongols have only one personal name but they also use clan names. In Inner Mongolia, Chinese names are quite common.
