The Onomasticon Turcicum presents an enormous collection of scholarship conducted by the renowned Hungarian Turkologist László Rásonyi. It contains a massive collection of over 50,000 anthroponyms, or personal names, collected by Rásonyi, and extensively analyzed and categorized by himself and fellow Turkic philologist Imre Baski, who completed the work after Rásonyi's death. The book begins with an extensive introduction by Baski which gives a comprehensive historiography of Turkic onomastics, as well as a description of Rásonyi's work which culminated in the Onomasticon Turcicum. The bulk of the work contains an exhaustive categorization system which divides the names into three primary groups: commemorative names, desiderate or intentional names, and fortuitous names, which are then further divided into more specific groups. The Onomasticon Turcicum is an invaluable resource for all those who seek to better understand Turkic languages and cultures.
