About female tatar names
How female tatar names are built
A Tatar result joins a given name to a gendered family name. Men draw a given name from a 163-entry bank and a surname from a 159-entry masculine bank; women draw from a 116-entry given bank and a 104-entry feminine surname bank, giving Rostam Iskhakov for a man and Qadria Figner for a woman.
Rostam Iskhakov
Rostam (given name) + Iskhakov (surname, masculine bank)
Qadria Figner
Qadria (given name) + Figner (surname, feminine bank)
Ilsoyar Gilmutdinova
Ilsoyar (given name) + Gilmutdinova (surname, feminine bank)

Naming notes
The surname banks are split by gender, masculine forms ending in -ov/-of/-in (Iskhakov, Shikshin) and feminine mostly in -ova/-eva (Gilmutdinova, Bayrameva), which is why the set uses four banks. The given banks (163 male, 116 female) carry Turkic, Islamic, Russified and European forms as stored.
Questions about female tatar names
- Why do Tatar surnames differ for men and women?
- The surname is drawn from a separate 159-entry masculine bank (-ov/-of/-in) or 104-entry feminine bank (mostly -ova/-eva) matching the chosen given name, so a man is Iskhakov and a woman Gilmutdinova.
- What given names are in the bank?
- The 163-entry male and 116-entry female banks carry Turkic, Islamic, Russified and European forms such as Rostam, Samat and Ilsoyar.
- Are these real Tatar names?
- The banks were rebuilt from public bearer data, with the masculine surname bank kept separate from the feminine one.
