500 Mongolian women's names, from modern compounds such as Altantsetseg and Oyuunchimeg to women of the chronicles such as Khutulun and Börte Üjin. Some come as full names with a patronymic, the way Mongolians write them.

About Mongolian female names

A Mongolian woman's name is usually one word built from two meaningful parts. The first is often something bright or precious, such as altan (gold), erdene (jewel), naran (sun), oyuun (wisdom) or enkh (peace). The second marks the name as feminine: tsetseg (flower), tuya (ray of light), chimeg (ornament), zul (lamp), zaya (fate) or suvd (pearl). Altantsetseg is golden flower, Narantuya is sunbeam and Oyuunchimeg is ornament of wisdom.

A second layer came with Tibetan Buddhism. Dulmaa, Yanjmaa, Khandmaa and Tserendulam are Mongolian forms of Tibetan names, and the ending -maa marks a woman. Mongolians use no family surname in daily life. A woman goes by her given name, with her father's name (sometimes her mother's) in front of it in the genitive, so Batbaataryn Sarnai is Sarnai, daughter of Batbaatar. In everyday writing the patronymic shrinks to an initial, as in B. Sarnai. In historical names Khatun means queen, Üjin means lady and Beki is an honorific.

Modern names keep one romanization, with kh, ts, ö and ü, so you will see Mönkhzul, not Munkhzul. Medieval names follow the spellings usual in English histories. The names and glosses have not been checked by Mongolian speakers, so confirm a name with a speaker before giving it to a child.

How to choose Mongolian female names

  • Read the second half of a compound first. The endings -tsetseg, -tuya, -chimeg, -zul and -zaya are the quickest sign of a woman's name, while -baatar, -bold and -sükh belong to men.
  • For a full name, put the father's name first with its genitive ending (-yn, -iin or -giin) and the given name second, as in Ganbatyn Enkhtuya. People address her as Enkhtuya, never as Ganbatyn.
  • Match the name to the era. Möge Khatun fits the 1200s, Tibetan-origin names such as Tserendulam were most common before the middle of the 1900s, and Egshiglen or Tselmüün are recent.
  • Short forms such as Oyuka, Zulaa and Tseegii are what family and friends say. Use them in dialogue, not on a document.
  • Keep one spelling system in a project. If you write Mönkhzul, do not write Munkhtsetseg beside it.

Frequently asked questions

How do Mongolian women's names work?

A Mongolian woman has one given name, and that is the name everyone uses. In front of it goes a patronymic, her father's name with a genitive ending, as in Tömöriin Tuul or Sükhiin Selenge. Clan names are recorded on identity documents but are rarely used day to day, and a woman does not change her name when she marries.

What do endings like -tsetseg and -maa mean?

Tsetseg is flower, tuya is ray of light, chimeg is ornament and zul is lamp, so Erdenetsetseg is jewel flower, Möngöntuya is silver ray and Nominzul is lapis lamp. The ending -maa came from Tibetan with Buddhism and marks a feminine name, as in Norjmaa or Khandmaa. Weekday names such as Davaasüren and Byambasüren are shared by girls and boys.

Who are the historical women in the list?

They are women recorded in histories of the Mongol Empire and the states that followed it. Börte Üjin was the first wife of Genghis Khan, Sorghaghtani Beki was the mother of Möngke, Kublai and Hülegü, Khutulun was the wrestling princess who was the daughter of Kaidu, and Mandukhai Setsen Khatun reunited the Mongols in the late 1400s. Spellings of these names vary from one history book to the next.

Can I use these names for a character or a baby?

For fiction, yes: pick a compound such as Bolorzul or Ankhtuya for a modern character and a chronicle name such as Temülün for the empire. For a real child, treat the list as a starting point only. Ask a Mongolian speaker about the spelling, the meaning and how the name sounds today.
