Create names influenced by Adyghe language, clan heritage, and the historical naming customs of the Northwest Caucasus.
The topic of Circassian naming is complex, and there are multiple factors to be aware of.
Circassian people have a long and rich history, encompassing culture, customs, language (the Circassian languages are Adyghe and Kabardian), and mythology (with the Nart Sagas being a significant source).
The majority of Circassian people were forcibly displaced from Circassia because of the Russo-Circassian War in the 19th century, and there are now Circassians living in multiple countries. Many Circassian names now likely reflect influences from other cultures through involuntary and voluntary cultural assimilation.
Names might also reflect the person’s religious background. Islam is the dominant faith among Circassians, though others are present as well.
Doing further research into your character’s particular background or the time period you’re writing about would be sensible.
