Abstract
The study explores the narratives surrounding the origin of Turkic peoples' names, focusing on three seminal works: Critics analyze “Oguznoma”, Mirzo Ulugbek's “History of the Four Ulus” and Abulghazi Bahadir Khan's Shajarayi Tarokima”. Our analysis examines historical Turkish texts about the origins and naming traditions of Turkic people groups. Even though these historical stories show links to our common lineage they reveal changes between their underlying perspectives and composition. Through text comparison the study analyzes historical events while using secondary sources to fill understanding gaps when studying these original works Our research finds consistent symbolism in Oguznoma's use of mythological content and Shajarayi Tarokima's adoption of Islamic principles to show two societies' evolving values and traditions.
