When it comes to selecting a name for your baby, you’ll find loads of inspiration and ideas. But finding a name that has a perfect mix of uniqueness and would transition well into adulthood, would be a bit tricky. Think Mongolian baby names can help unwind the trick? Mongolian baby names have gone through some major revolution in the history of the nation. Before the spread of Buddhism, Mongols followed the shamanistic belief, which was tied to Earth and its natural phenomenon. This resulted in descriptive names. Names with auspicious connotations or symbols that are believed to bring good fortune to the bearer were also common. Nowadays, a Mongolian name consists of two words – a noun and its modifier. They pick names that represent a special occasion, like a conquest or victory, animal names (because of the Mongolian culture’s association with herding and hunting), names taken from foreign people and names that reflect qualities parents desire from children. Modern Russian names or mixed Russian names are also on the rise, largely because of Mongolia’s close ties with the Soviet Union. Also, Mongolians are not given any surname. They just put their father’s first name before the given game. Below is MomJunction's exhaustive collection of modern, tradition, popular, and trendy Mongolian baby names with meanings.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the order of names in Mongolia?

The Mongolian naming system follows a specific pattern where the full name consists of the father's name followed by the given name. The father's name is presented genitive, often ending with -iin or -yn.

2. Are there any naming customs or traditions unique to Mongolian baby names?

Mongolians use a patronymic naming system, indicating lineage through the father rather than using given first names and family surnames. This explains why married couples, mothers, and children often have different last names. For example, if a Mongolian man named Joseph has a son named Michael, the child's full name would be Joseph's Michael. However, when translated to English, the names are reversed, resulting in Michael Joseph.
