Abstract

Article considers the origin and semantics of the name and titles of Genghis Khan. Basing on the analysis of steppe titles it substantiates the opinion that Genghis is a personal name-title that never again appears as title. Article attempts to scientifically etymologize and semantize the titles and proper names basing on the analysis of ancient Turkic and late Turkic lingual factors and historical resources.
