Generate Tajik full names for men and women: given names in their Tajik spellings paired with Soviet-era surnames and the Persian-style forms in -zoda, -i, -iyon and -pur, such as Jamshed Burhonov, Mehrangez Tosheva, Nigina Rajabzoda and Parviz Mirzopur.

About Tajik names

Tajik is a Persian language written in Cyrillic, so a Tajik name is often a Persian name in another spelling. Where Iranian usage writes Bahram, Farhad and Jamshid, Tajik has Bahrom, Farhod and Jamshed. Heroes of the Shahnameh are everyday given names: Rustam, Suhrob, Siyovush, Faridun, Tahmina and Manizha. Beside them stand Arabic names in their local forms, such as Abdullo, Nuriddin, Fotima and Oisha, and women's names built on gul, the word for flower: Gulnora, Gulchehra, Safargul. Many of these given names are just as common among Uzbek neighbors, so it is the spelling and the surname that mark a name as Tajik.

Surnames come in two fashions. In the Soviet period families took Russian endings on a father's or grandfather's name: -ov or -ev for men, -ova or -eva for women, as in Safarov and Safarova. Since 2007 many families have registered Persian-style forms instead: -zoda, -i, -iyon, -pur, or the forebear's name with no ending at all.

The list keeps both fashions in one Latin transliteration, with j rather than dzh. A little over a third of the entries carry -ov or -ova surnames, four in ten use the Persian-style endings, and the rest are plain patronymics and given names on their own.

How to choose Tajik names

  • Match the Russian-style ending to the person: -ov or -ev for a man, -ova or -eva for a woman. The endings -zoda, -i and -iyon stay the same for both.
  • Let the surname suggest a generation. A character whose papers date from the Soviet period would be a Safarov or a Nazarov, while a younger one may well be a Safarzoda or a Nazarzoda, and both forms can turn up in one family.
  • Keep one transliteration through a whole story. If you write Jamshed and Khurshed, do not switch to Russian-based spellings such as Dzhamshed halfway.
  • Use the Tajik form of a shared Persian name when the setting is Tajikistan: Bahrom, Farhod and Firuz rather than Bahram, Farhad and Firouz.
  • The ending -pur means son, so this list pairs it with men's names only. For a woman from the same family, -zoda or -i is the safer choice.

Frequently asked questions

What do Tajik last names look like?

Most are built on a forefather's given name. With Russian endings that gives names such as Jamshed Burhonov, Siyovush Ibrohimov and Mehrangez Tosheva; with Persian-style endings it gives Nigina Rajabzoda, Zebuniso Halimzoda or Parviz Mirzopur. Both kinds are in everyday use, and this list mixes them.

Why do some Tajik surnames end in -ov and others in -zoda?

The endings -ov and -ev are Russian and date from the Soviet period, when family names were formed that way across Central Asia. The ending -zoda is Persian and means born of, the same suffix that Iranian surnames write as -zadeh. A family named Safarov and a family named Safarzoda both take their name from a forefather called Safar.

How are Tajik names different from Iranian Persian names?

The stock of given names overlaps a great deal, but the spelling differs because Tajik is written in Cyrillic and has its own vowels: Farhod for Farhad, Jamshed for Jamshid, Bahrom for Bahram. The surnames differ more, since the -ov and -ova family names of Tajikistan are not used in Iran.

Are Tajik and Uzbek names the same?

They share many given names, among them Rustam, Dilshod, Zarina and Gulnora, and both countries have -ov and -ova surnames. Tajik is a Persian language and Uzbek a Turkic one, so the spellings part ways. This list writes kh and gh and has none of the letters of the Uzbek Latin alphabet.
