dc.description.abstractThe article examines the Bulgarian surnames, which are based on Turkish loanwords that have established themselves in the Bulgarian language. It should be noted that the original source of these Turkish loanwords may be a lexeme of Arabic or Persian origin. The empirical material is limited to those surnames that are motivated by a lexeme with the semantics of profession or craft. Bulgarian surnames from the end of the 19th century to the beginning of the second decade of the 21st century have been extracted. When studying the target group of anthroponyms, both possible linguistic relations and those of an extralinguistic nature are considered. The field of research includes synonymous relations between anthroponymic units, the formation of thematic circle, or the so-called “semantic sockets”. When presenting the synonymous relations between surnames motivated by a Turkish loanword and those with a domestic basis, it is not always easy to establish which form arose first (cf. Dyulgerovand Zidarov, Chobanovand Ovcharov, Kuyumdzhiev and Zlatarov, Domuschievand Svinarov, etc.). The examples, as will be clear from the presentation of this research, are indicative of the entry of Turkish vocabulary into the Bulgarian language, which also affects the surname system of the Bulgarians. This leads to the parallel existence in our language of surnames inspired by lexemes of different origins.
